I'll bear that in mind 👍
When I think about it, I tend to play during the UK evening. I'll try playing at a different time!

No problem mate, feel free to send me an invite when you need someone to help you out on challenges. ;)
 
I'm online and ready. WIll be playing for a bit. Hopefully a few others will jump in.
 
I'll be right there. Daywalker can't join us until about twenty-past - if you have anyone on your friends list you can drag in to make the numbers then... win :D
 
Sorry I couldn't stay long, my Mum wanted to watch the TV!

That was a strange occurrence with your PS3 Famine!

Hopefully next time we have a meet-up I should be able to stay on for a bit longer! But at least I have a few more friends to do challenges with! :D

Certainly was. At a guess the Bluetooth controller spacked out - it refused to read the headset, then the controllers, then the controllers even while wired in. Seemed to be compliant once reset again.

Cheers for all the help and hopefully we can have a good ol' game of it again soon.

Anytime. If anyone needs challenges doing. shout up.
 
I'm sorry I could not make it! Got called into work yesterday, which made it not ideal to get up at 5:00 AM today. ;) Next time!
 
Finally... P-L-A-T-I-N-U-M!!! :D

Nice one! 👍
Did you finally get your camera working then?

And where did you get your background from? :P

Super_Spig

Thanks mate. ;)
I finally decided to buy a PlayStation Eye and a Bluetooth headset, so I can now voice chat with you all. :D

The background is simply a screenshot captured earlier by someone here from the GT5 concept trailer movie. :cheers:
 
I bought a friend Burnout for his birthday and he started playing it last night. His response was, "That game is so much freaking fun!!!" So, I may be inviting some of you guys at some point if he decides to go after trophies.

He isn't a trophy chaser, so it won't likely happen.

Then we need to coordinate a time for a meet-up and tackle as many of them as we can.

Is he on board with GTplanet? We'll convert him over yet. :)

No, he isn't a GT guy. He enjoys it, but the sim stuff gets too complex for him. I have attempted to get some friends on GTPlanet, but no one will bite. They will do Facebook all the time, but a community forum doesn't appeal to them for some reason.

I think that GTP has maybe 3 or 4 active members from Kentucky, and that is counting Jordan.

I would be happy to help out anytime (when not at work) . It was good fun last Sunday.
 
Congratulations again to Andrew for Platinum :cheers: You seem to be on the ball lately ;) And a late congratulations to Famine as well for another Platinum :D

I'll be catching you guys online when I can, especially those who still need trophies/challenges, feel free to add me if you haven't :)
 
The one thing I found with the online - was that it was incredibly easy to be "taken down"... I was driving the big burnout van - and I'd tap an online player - and I'd be taken down... seemed a bit odd and a bit random to me!!

I've wondered about that. I've had instances, where I've literally slammed people into the wall, and they drive away fine. Other instances, where I didn't even see my car touch them and I get awarded a takedown. Literally not even see their car (3rd person driving) in the screen and the "Takedown" image pops up.

I think the Online play when combined with different internet speeds has a bit of funniness to it.
 
I'm thinking the same as you do. Sometimes I didn't even touch someone's car and it said I've taken them down, maybe because of the lag issue?

And for whether you're taking others down or not, I think it's the matter of speed of your car, if it's faster than your rival, you're gonna taken them down, and vice versa. It doesn't matter with the strength of your car, as I've been taken down by the PCPD Special (with a strength of 2) quite a number of times, with me in a GT Nighthawk (with a strength of 10). :lol:
 
Glad to hear it wasn't just me then...

The little beach buggy thing seemed to be invunerable versus my van too - which was a bit annoying!!

Like you say - iy seems to be purely based on speed!

On another note - I enjoyed setting a 3.5 mile drift in the Baseball stadium!!!

Thanks to all that helped me knock out nearly 30 challanges last night. 👍

Only 80 or so to go!
 
About the takedown bit, I also get random takedowns sometimes. No one is near me, and I didn't make any contact, but suddenly I get this takedown message. I used to think it was just lag, but now I'm thinking you can takedown someone indirectly. So if you do a traffic check and the traffic vehicle hits the other car and cause him to wreck, you will get a takedown message even though you didn't crash into him on purpose! At least that's what I thought...

Matter of fact, I'm incredibly bad at performing takedowns if the other vehicle is driving side-by-side. I can't seem to make him lose control and hit the wall. On the other hand, if someone tries to take me down, all they do is give me a little tap and I can't control my car anymore. Few milliseconds later I kiss the wall and wrecks. Mind-boggling...
