About GT5:P Online

[Earth]

GT5 is just 3 months away

I don't know if everyone knows or not but the game will have online races with up to 16 persons.

No one is sure yet whether that means 16 real people or a mix of real people and AI but either way GT5 will support online racing

So far it looks like it will have a total of 5 tracks, with these 4 tracks with 1 not yet mentioned,

- Fuji Speedway
- Eiger Nordwand
- Suzuka
- new London City Track.

It also has a nice variety of cars, around 40 total, but I've only seen 1 true racing car, the Motul Pitwork Z JGTC car.

So the point is, is it time to upgrade to real online racing? I know alot of people probably don't have a PS3 though. But I really think this long race series forum will explode with growth when GT5P and GT5 is released.

When GT5P is released in 3 months most of the current racing series like DTM and FGT will be ending. Time to upgrade to true online racing then?

Maybe we can use this thread to discuss GT5P online and possible online racing series using the game's online functions.

Before I respond, welcome back to the Planet, Earth. It's been a while since I've seen you. Now, to business...

Maybe for the online races where there are less than 16 real people racing, the empty spots will be taken up by the AI drivers unless the option for it is set otherwise. I remember the videos that you had up about the Online options from NASCAR Racing 2003 sometime ago Earth.👍

So far it looks like it will have a total of 5 tracks, with these 4 tracks with 1 not yet mentioned,

- Fuji Speedway
- Eiger Nordwand
- Suzuka
- new London City Track..

Maybe the fifth track out will be a US track that was previously raced on in the GT series like New York or Laguna Seca or a new track that'll be included in GT5.

It also has a nice variety of cars, around 40 total, but I've only seen 1 true racing car, the Motul Pitwork Z JGTC car.

Will they be adding more race cars before the release of GT5? Would be nice to see more of the SuperGT cars be included as well as some of the racers that are in GT4 already to make it a total of 50 cars.

It's hard to tell how many GTPlanet members will have a PS3 come time for the release of GT5 at this point. So I should take a wait-and-see attitude for the time being and guage things come time GT5 is released. As for discussing GT5 Online and utilizing it, I'm all for it.

@ boombexus: Any way you can sticky this thread? I think this'll be a be a hot topic as the days to the release of GT5 and GT5 itself come ever closer.

Not sure if i'll be 'upgrading' for on-line racing with GT5.P .. but certainly will be for GT5 ... along with a G25 and a new custom built cockpit ; using a TILLETT kart seat {T7 or an old similar model}

Ive been waiting to race on-line for many years ; and the only 'game' i 'play' is GT .. hooked and loving it .

GTPLANET IS the premium place to race , and Del is looking forward to the on-line 'explosion' .. most probably sometime in 2008 with GT5 {when ill also upgrade my membership}

I'm waiting till GT5 comes out to get my PS3.

There's a few reasons for this:

1: I can't afford one (They are still over £400 over here)
2: GTP compo's probably wont change till GT5 comes out.
3: GT5 isn't gonna be a full game, so the car/track combo's will be limited.
4: I can't afford one.

I hope its Monza.

Well, there was one other JGTC that they showed, which was the Bandai Direzza SC430 so thats about the only other race car that at least I know of.

Anyone who has a PSN-ID most likely has a PS3 so There's your PS3 owners

Right then I am in, just have to wit for prologue now. But yes i can see a temporary league forming while we wait for GT5 to come out.

Ah cool. in fact, I'm surprised that no one with a PSN-ID has started a GTHD oriented Time Trial(unless there is already one in the WRS forums) so I don't think its too late to start perhaps an interest thread sometime soon. As Earth stated, this forum could grow immensely. I'm gonna a little sore though that I won't be able to have GTHD ever now.

A question was brought up by someone, I forget who, in our online racing community who asked; how are we all going to race online when we live in very different time zones (i.e., Moscow, London, Tokyo, a great town in Connecticut, USA )

Another point to consider is that your racing style will most likely change once you are online. For example, during your race if you spin out and crash, you can no longer simply restart and hope for a better final time. You have to get back on the track, if the online rules allow, and play out the ongoing race. My guess is that your online racing will be more cautionary with the goal of simply finishing as quickly, cleanly and without accident as best you can - which is more in line with "real" racing.
