Could you please get footage of drifting the VW Samba and see how far you can take it without rolling over? :dopey:

I don't quite understand what you mean by this !
I have pre-ordered the standard edition from Amazon for £39.91 and will receive 2 stealth cars free of charge.
game shops in the uk are charging £39.99 for the std edition without them.

In France, our biggest retailer is a real crook (Micromania to not saying his name).
There's 3 versions of the Game standard 70 €, collector 80 € and signature 180€.

They send me an e mail saying that even for preorder, the dlc code will not be available for standard. We must buy the collector to obtain the mclaren f1 and the nissan gt 500.

That's all.
 
You know i wonder if you can cheat GT5 into unlocking something by changing your system date, can someone with the game try this? (Does it even work that way? haha)

(posted the question in the full game image thread too, hope someone tries it!)

Yeah, their latest car has around 1800hp, though it's only a prototype as far as I know.

Vector WX8 Concept '07 (Not a GT5 photo) Bugatti Veyron eat your freaking heart out, that thing looks awesome :drool:

7-8 days until GT5 finally arrives and takes over 90% of our social lives :sly:

EDIT: I also love the idea about horns, gives us a little extra touches to our cars where wheels wouldnt have as much as an effect with, since wheels you'll barely see their whole structure while racing, while with horns its obvious and dosent hinder the divide between premium/standard like wheels did, even if thats only a subtle difference. :)

:lol: Seriously tho they modelled horns, so we can play La Cucaracha on our civic but not put wheels on it, oh i see the logic, cuz that ADDS to gameplay right...I feel like this is KAz's inner child coming out, he wants to honk people out online with the theme to the simpsons or something...

@snowgt they already had the old "standard" wheels, all they ahd to do was shamelessly (like everything else) dvide the content between standard cars and premium, sure we wouldnt be able to paint rims and what ever but at least wecan change them...RUF rims are buttfugly.

Dude, apples and oranges.
Adding horns just means adding a few extra sound files and making a simple 2d UI menu to allow you to change them.... a day's work at most.
Totally different from modeling wheels and making them work on all cars (or standard cars) etc without glitching or clipping.

I heard a rumour these days that we'll not be able to choose different Wheels on standart cars.
Anyone know something about this or am I just missinformed?

I just heard this too. Whoa whoa whoa!!! That means 80% (about 800) of the cars will be stuck with stock wheels? Please tell me I did not read that correctly. If this is true it might be the deciding factor that I only rent this game. I didnt have my expectations high at all for this game but please tell me this is not correct.

It's been known for a couple days you can only change the rims on premium cars.
 
Incase nobody noticed I was 100% on about my prediction of release date and marketing strategy for Sony. Thank you very much. With that aside I'm sick of alot of the bitching going on in these threads. This is the bottom line:
GT5 is a DRIVING SIMULATOR

This is a game where the act of driving can be experienced to the fullest. That is why we have all these modes, and they're structured the way they are. The way you should look at it is like a good Flight Simulator. You can fly many different planes yet the experiences aren't as in depth as they are in "boutique-genre" games. For example - People usually don't bitch when you can't have full war-time dogfights in Flight Simulators, just like folks who play Ace Combat don't bitch that they can't fly a 747.

We can drive exotics, normals, nascar, f-1 cars, rally cars, Go-Karts, etc. All of these modes will offer as close to the real-life the experience of DRIVING that type of car. Enjoy it for what it is, experiencing DRIVING!!

If you want a full Nascar experience, go buy a Nascar Game.
If you want a full F-1 game, go buy F-1.
If you want an arcade racer, go buy Need 4 Speed
If you want more Go-Karts, go buy Mario Kart.

ETC ETC ETC

If you want to DRIVE and experience the act of driving in all it's forms, and become the best video DRIVER you can be, then buy GT5 and be Extra Happy. I know I will.

My 2 pesos.

You guys wanna hear a joke?

The problem I have with this writer his non acknowledgment of the track editor. I'm stoked about that as no console "Sim" has ever had something like that. It is one of the coolest features I'm interested in after seeing the video of it!

How much can you innovate a racing sim without blowing it out of context?

Innovating a racing sim would be adding something not done before. The PC market has pretty much done all they can do to racing sims. Why innovate when you are missing elements of "whats been done before"?

So you had high hopes to drive the standards and use them extensively? I did, but not extensively anymore.
 
Dose any one know if there will be a rolling start for online race.

Edit: Rolling start in GT is getting kind of old as a racer I want to be some one of the line.
Rolling start=CAR Standing start=DRIVER

As an XBOX lover and fan (NOT FAN BOY) this guy is an a** hole I love FORZA3 but just on the fact that GT has night and weather racing I will be playing my PS3 a little bit more now PS3 MOVE and now GT5. Take it from me Forza4 will come back next year strong and most likely top GT5 and when GT6 comes out I would expect nothing less form them to try and top FORZA4
 
I could have had my copy today. But that guy from Czech, who was selling it on Aukro.cz got banned and all his deliveris were seizured by Police (including my two copies.. i wanted to sell one here). Oh well..

So are you saying that GT5 is a jack of all trades and master of none?

You HAVE to be kidding me. 6 years in development and we cant change the wheels on 800 of the cars. This just became a rental. Thats unbelievable. 👎👎
