Has anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon received anything regarding their stealth SLS AMG?
 
My monitor doesn't like PS3's HDMI input apparently.

Have to buy a new monitor tomorrow. i'm using an OLD *BOX* of a TV. And its only about 14 inches lol

Terrible.

At least I probably won't be able to see any of the bad shadows everyone is being so pedantic about.
 
GT5 really is EPIC haha :D i got some Race Modified pics of my Camaro '69 , just wanted to know where to post them? In here? or..
 
HI, thats my first post - but iam reading GTP for a year - just for info :D

Can someone tell me why the Nürburgring - Nordschleife isnt in the ARCADE-Mode avaiable?
And why i cant choose the track when i want to create a lobby? Do i need to install the game in the options menu or do i need an special level for it?!

You need to unlock it in the Special Events in GT Live.

License A-8 is starting to 🤬 me off, every car i drive in these test just keeps understeering.

Hammering the throttle of a FF while trying to turn will do that. If you go past 100% tire traction, something's got to give. Ease the throttle back a bit and it should settle the car down.

@ trillbo - I suggest you edit that post after you've so kindly given the code away otherwise, as Anes said, you'll likely end up with a full Inbox.

Or we'll have a thread for of posts to delete. We don't want either of those, but mostly the second. ;)

Since I can't create a new thread, I guess I'll put this here so somebody might see it.
I have a spare Mazda 787b Stealth download for PAL regions

I bought the signature edition so got it with that, but Gamestop gave me the Mazda for pre-ordering it.

If anybody wants it let me know! 👍

Well...i didn´t kill the postman...yeah he survives...for the next GT maybe i kill him...but finally my Signature Edition is here and is a beauty...is installing now so i know that i have to wait 40 minutes at least but i´m here reading as always and with the apex book.
The best of the signature is in the wallet...:P
 
I have an announcement...when i finally can play the game and maybe for about 3 hours of playing and make the license test i´m going online and i want to give somebody one of the stealth cars and one of the chrome line. I don´t have friends playing GT5...they are playing Black ops WTF!! so my PSN is here and just add me as a friend.
 
I miss GT5P menu style. :indiff:

So what was the 'big suprise' that Kaz had talked about? I know I've been only playing the game for a few hours but I don't see anything that I didn't already know would be in the game..

apart from the leaked spoliers on here, which really were not anything big..
 
I don't think I'll ever pre-order anything from Best Buy again. I didn't receive any code for my Stealth GTR. Went back to the store and asked about it and after waiting for about 20 minutes was told they didn't know where they were and to call their 1888 number. Called that number a couple of times to finally to be told they couldn't do any thing and I might try one of their other locations. Went to other location to be told to go back to the first store. No-one that I talked too that worked for the company seemed to know much about the video games that they sell.

Your post is old but I had to quote it. The postman was supposed to give me my package today but the guy came and he did not even ring the bell he put a paper to say that he could not deliver the parcel because there was nobody although I was behind the door. All this to gain time. I was so mad I went to the post center but they couldn't give it to me because blah blah blah! I sent an e-mail directly to post.be and they answered me that what he did was absolutely Illegal and that they warned the postman. I'm disgusted!

That the game would be getting updated for weeks and months to come. So we can expect maybe more cars and tracks later.
 
All Installed and patched. Played for a few hours last night and although some of the textures leave a lot to be desired and the menu system is clunky, its GT5, it handles like a dream and it is oh so good to be back. An adventure awaits.
 
Well... after some 8h playing, I have to admit I understand some critics (those that actual played it and have found/stated these "faults", not haters).

Some loading times were plain silly in the beginning. Especially returning to Home on occasion and being left with the GT logo only, for a minute or two. No "saving" or "installing" info. It hanged once (when I selected restart on the the first license test, the only one I bothered with so far). But, after some time it seamed to settle down. I left it doing a full install during the night and expect it to be even better tonight.

It's not perfect in some graphics. Like some shadows. But you don't notice it when you're racing.

And some menus... bit unnecessarily complex.
Menu BGM annoying (always found it, always turn it off...)

It actually doesn't look and feel like "a game". Which is not truly a problem for me.

But the driving? Unbelievable...

For the 1st time, I can drift, from day one. For the 1st time in GT, I just find myself heel toeing, and it works great. I can go fast, I can overdrive and recover my mistakes, and I can hoon. It's not "easy" a-la arcade NFS style, but "easy" by applying "skills" to the controls (G25) and catching the car at the right moment. Shift-lock, clutch kickin', heel-toeing, Scandinavian flick, anything goes and works (as I feel it) just as in the real thing. The only thing missing is G's so you can really "feel" it :D

I guess IGN got it right in their review. As a "game", lots to improve, but "the real driving simulator" indeed.

I'll be waiting on those improvements Kaz spoke of yesterday to make the "gaming", the visual and other (to me) secondary things better.

Meanwhile, I'll be driving my butt off... Like I always said, "gimme the driving, then take your time to get other stuff right and push it as DLC/patches".

Oh, and the online B-Spec Bob PC control is one of those. Not available yet. And he drives like a drunken teenager. At least for now...

Well thats alright I guess, but not of epic proportions unless the new tracks include SSR11 or more tracks with time change/weather.

Has anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon received anything regarding their stealth SLS AMG?
Click to expand...

i received a code a couple of hours ago :)
 
i received the coupon aswell... but funny thing happened to me, as i cancelled the order yesterday they still sent me the code for the stealth sls hehe
 
Since I can't seem to get an answer over at GAF, can anyone tell me what the third Top Gear challenge is?
 
Things i dont like :

1 : Why cant i drive any car i like in arcade mode? , i mean so many cars that i have to buy first before i can use them in Arcade? i mean c'mon i want to testdrive the cars first before i buy one

2 : Why cant i free roam around in the car when im on a track , same thing here every race/car game has that feature , but GT5? no

3 : Engine sound should be way louder in tunnels , i dont even hear a difference when i blast into a tunnel. Ever heared a Ferrari in a tunnel? , it's almost twice as load. And again c'mon even in Need For Speed : Hot Pursuit the engine sound changes alot in tunnels.

4 : Lack of premium cars ofcourse , only 200 with like 50 from GT5 Proloque , Forza 3 400 'Premium cars' , GT5 200 'Premium cars' isent that moving backwards on your rival?

5 : In cars why can i only look up and down and why cant i free roam inside the car , whats the point of making the interior look stunning when i cant see 50% of it(dont come with playstation eye , it should be possible with controler) And the same thing even Need For Speed : Shift can do that , and like every other car game i have played

6 : Shifting gears in a manual cars goes too fast , somethings it looks like my Nissan Sivlia Aero has got a flappy paddle gearbox, and why is a gearchange from like 1st to 2e gear slower then 3rd to 4th. Shifting gears in manual cars should be a bit slower , because i feel it's way too fast and it sounds like a flappy paddle gearbox.

Good game , but way too many features missing that should be standard in a car game , and which is in most car games.

I give it a 8

Edit :

7 : Why cant i buy standard cars new? , i mean a 1000 cars yes but how many are availeble , and how many wil i be able to drive , since i have to buy them all
