Countdown to GT5

[Dan_]

It's 111 days. It makes absolutely no difference if the seconds are slightly out.

Specially to me, since the game will be at my house after two or three weeks after the release date.

If I get a cocky reply, expect one back. You always this pointless with your posts?

I'll ignore the massive irony in this post and attempt to go back to topic.

cheers for the idea, will keep this on a bookmarked tab when my browser opens to check the clock!

 

[Spagetti69]

You been Drifted.

I think it is a great thread idea and will be especially useful to new members. 👍

Two things though.
1. Put a link to a dynamic one on the top post with a statement as to why it cannot be shown. That way other people don't come in here filling up the thread with requests to do so.
2. Specify that the release date is for NA. Some people may get confused.


Other than that, I think this will really be cool as these dates get closer.

I couldn't care less about a lame countdown timer, but if you want one anywhere on the site, how about you speak to Jordan about putting one on the front page? No, thought not.

So then why are you in this thread? Yeah, thought so.

Wait, we're the ones that gave you a cocky reply? You came into this thread with the sole purpose of pointing out it's pointlessness and how half-assed things are being done.

Both of those suggests are now done. Even added dates for GC and TGS

Have you ever heard of... freedom of speech?

That aside, this thread is a good idea, but we need a dynamic counter, so i don't have to refresh. And it will be more appealing to 56k users too.

So then why are you in this thread? Yeah, thought so.

That's all i got told when i raised the same valid point you did, guys got a massive chip on his shoulder.

As Worthy1066 already mentioned there's an iPhone app in existence that does just that: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gran-turismo-5-countdown-preview/id348442067?mt=8

I see such kind of apps fairly often, are these popular or something?

Right. But not everyone has an iPhone 'cause not everyone can afford the $800 it costs to get one. (cost of phone plus the contract)

 

[Calcifer]

Oh, but you don't have to. They're selling the older models for much cheaper. It's not always neccesary to have the latest stuff as soon as possible and to pay the premium price as a result

 

[Neal]

^ It'll probably be quite difficult adding an iPhone to the first post with that coutdown app

 

[eSZee]

As Tokyo nicely suggested, lol, I asked Jordan to see if enabling the tags and introducing the mod to enable external countdowns.
I'll let you know what he says.

 

[kikie]

Anyone can borrow me a stasis pod?

Use a webcam?

Use a webcam?

💡 Now that's some lateral thinking there my friend 👍

 

[SuperShouden]

[SuperShouden]

[DestinyDanny]

[SuperShouden]

[Kubalivre]

I'm gonna have to retire from GTP between the second and the tentative twenty-fourth.

 

[SuperShouden]

hey, any mods wanna make this a sticky? I know it doesn't NEED to be, but some people mike like it as one.

 

[alfajamesromeo]

can't wait, in uk so dont really actually know if it is 100 days.

 

[Mr P510]

I wonder how close to release till PD start putting the complete game together?

 

[SuperShouden]

btw...less than 20 days until GamesCom.

 

[twisteddeeds]

I wonder how close to release till PD start putting the complete game together?

I'm guessing they will have it mostly put together by the end of September. Gotta get the game onto disk after all

 

[FerrariMarv]

less than 100 days!

I remember early march(around my birthday) thinking the game was around 100 days away, due to the delay.

can you believe we have been waiting for this game since before the launch of the ps3, and some said it would be a lauch title. look how fast time goes by

90 some odd days

 

[EvolutionWRX]

I hope I could integrate it on my desktop along with its events.

 

[TURNER_042]

Don't worry, we'll post info and videos.

Would be hilarious if us Europeans got GT5 before you lot
