Amar212: Have you tried to turn on small/large theather (dynamic range) in the sound option settings and crank up the stereo? I got all scared when I drove my Ferrari afterwards. In a good way that is. Wheelspinning, braking and accelerating sounds are just spot on. I do miss some collision sounds (they are very dull).

I drive with Large Theater, since I have surround set-up. And it's much better then default setting, I agree :)
 
Thanks for the updates Amar 👍

All we need now is private lobbies to be available when online is fully up and running.

Hi mate. Has the full hand steering animations been included yet? Steering wheel visually turning more then 90 deegrees each way?

No, and I doubt it will ever happen - you do not actually pay any attention to it while driving (at least I don't), and it would require whole new animations for hand-crossing - which I see as a way to waste presciouss resources.
 
Hi amar, could you please explain soemthing for me. I dont know whether you saw the post i made before, but could you please explain the QTS you did to the F40 to make it better. What did you do and basically how did that make it much better to drive.. Sorry if this is a stupid question. Cheers mate! :)
 
@ Amar, I know your busy and this has been answered before but I'm still confused when is the release of the Blu ray version is it before or after the PSN version out on the Thursday

The commercial reads 26/03/2008, but I think it will be on 28th on blu-ray and on 27th the PSN Store version.
 
Hello Amar :)

There seems to be a lot of people mentioning how awesome it will be to drive the F1 cars around Nurburgring. I agree 100% with their excitement, but it appears these folks are under the impression that the 'ring is in fact, in Prologue. Can you set the record straight, and tell us whether or not Nurburgring is in GT5: Prologue?

No Nurburgring isnt in there from what I gather. The only new track is High Speed Ring. I wish they would replace that Elgar Harwood (or however it is spelt) with Nurburgring. I totally hate that track. And replace Daytona with Elcapitan , Trial Mountain or Midfield Raceway.

Decreased final-gear ratios, extend 2nd and 4th gear for some, made brake-bias 7-6 (F/R), hardedned the suspension, increased font-toe a bit and that's it. Same as I basicaly do with all cars I guess :)

Ok cheers, but what effect does that have in the game...sorry bout this, i dont know much about this stuff....
 
OOOwww everyone has so many questions. I will not add to them. Some games iv preordered in the past have come a couple of days early before release date from Amazon that is. Lets hope my Prologue i pre ordered a couple months back comes a few days early.
 
Cheers for the update Amar.👍 Everything sounds good except for all the events are Rolling starts. :nervous: Was looking forward to the starts using the Clutch and G25. Now it sounds abit boring :indiff:
 
hey amar how in the world did you get the game so early i dont understand what you mean by
"Oops, I did it again Many thanx to my friends who gave me another opportunity to do this, as many times before."
i'm so envious darn it!

I saw that animation in a video from Leipzig game convention 2007.

I bet PD will implement full animations in full GT5. And it's a pity they haven't done it yet.

Excellent news, given my passion for all things home cinema it great to see this kind of option.

More good news.

👍

Sorry for this question again......and sorry it has to be you again amar...

Could you post a pic of the F40 on the HSR Bank first Corner with Normal Setup and Tuned setup? .....

Well what i actually want to say,,,,,I'm dying for some extra screensssss....


umzzz and maybe the sound of the GT40 and F40.........

pffff...when I read that crap I write I must be...well... , doblocruiser just shut up and click SAVE....OK
 
Do you gonna Post the savegame of Gt5p online so everybody can experience the F40? or maybe even the f12007? Probably notb but at least i tried it. Can i use the Japanese savegames.
 
doubt you can use the japanese savegame for the english game. I may post up a gt5p savegame for the english version. The japanese one i posted seemed popular.
 
sorry if it has been answered, but is the game install mandatory?

i haven't got enough space to accomidate that size of install. what benefits do you get from installing?
 
I'm curious as to how the wide theatre sound option will sound like when using a surround set that simulates surround coming from the stereo composite cables.

I doubt it will be mandatory. The only real benefit will be quicker loading times since the machine reads from the HD rather then trying to locate the data off a disk.

Since the console automaticaly launched the install process when disc was insterted, I presume it COULD be mandatory. I didn't try to abort the process, so that one you'll have to find out when you get the disc respectfuly.

And I guess that benefits are loading times. Notice that it takes barely 8 seconds from finishing the race, listing race results, cashing credits in, loading new-race-start screen, and actual begigining of the new race - as long as you're fast with tapping the X button.
 
I do have to give PD some credit for keeping the lid on this one. We all went through the list of Ferrari’s that we would like to see in the game but nobody picked the F1 out of the mix. How the heck did they keep it quite? How did they make hot monkey love to that car without someone seeing it?

As much as this game is a rehash of many of the same old stuff, it seems to still be all about the cars. Put the right cars in and most of us will be pleased. How many copies did PD just sell by adding the F1? Did we have this much love when they added Drifting, PhotoMode or B-Spec, how about just because they added a London track? Simply put….NO. Cars, Cars, Cars….We apparently want an automotive history lesson that is fun to boot. Agree or not?
 
There is one issue. Because i'm a big fan of Gt5 i'll play till i reach to 100%. I've bought al the cars in the Japanese version. but i doubt that i reach 100% in the EU version before 29 of april. Then Gta4 will be out and probably i'm going to play Gta4, but i don't want that i want too enjoy GT5 for the full 100%.

So, do not play GTA4 until you finish GT5P. I want to play Ferrari challenge (04/18/2008) but I won`t, GT5P needs all my attention.
 
I tried to find if someone had asked this but it does not look like anyone has:

Any new songs in this release of prologue? I am getting a bit bored of the existing sound track.
