For Those Who Don't Know How to Do the Glitch In GT5

Why would it be?

You seem unfamiliar with the site rules. They're at the bottom left corner of every page on this site, under "Acceptable Use Policy". Find us the rule that this thread breaks and then tell us about it, rather than assuming it's against the rules because someone's playing the game a different way to you.

May use it way later on in the game when Ive got nothing to do, or need to spend too much money on a car.. But for now, Its useless..

Until level 40!

I am really disappointed that GT Planet's stance on such things is what you just stated.

I thought GTP was better than things like this, I guess not, anything to get a cheap thrill I am sure you guys will be in for now. 👍 Thanks for clearing that up, I now know what this site stands for.

I couldn't care less whether other people use this exploit or not - that is their choice and doesn't affect me in any way.

However I wouldn't personally as I enjoy the whole "unlocking" mechanism in games. It all depends whether you want a "sandbox" experience or a "progression" experience. Whilst sandbox experience is fun you lose the whole feel of being rewarded through progression. Most of the games I have enjoyed most include obtaining goals to reach other parts "unlocks" of a game.

I'm playing Need for Speed Shift at the mo (yeah I actually think its a fun experience) and playing it on hard ai with pro physics. I could complete it much quicker by playing it on medium etc, but I love the challenge and trying to get the extra stars needed to reach a next tier.

Same with GT - when I have a 20 million car it will be more pleasure because I would have struggled to get it.

Well, I'm part of the people that think duplicating cars is absolutely stupid. The whole point of GT is having a garage that you worked for, not using some nonsense exploit and abusing it for weeks to get every single car of the game.

This morning, I traded my Audi R8 for a Chaparral 2J. Didn't take me long enough to understand why my trader told me to hold on before finally giving me the car 5 minutes later.

I really think car trading is a great addition to GT5, but I strongly believe PD should take back the ability to back-up your save games (or at least make it so you can't receive gifts for a week after you restored a save game, just to piss off the abusers a little bit).

I fully understand people who say that they can do whatever they want with their copy of GT5, since they paid for it. I even was part of the people who was cutting through the grass at the Nurburgring. But yesterday night, I decided to redo all the Special/Seasonal Events at the Nurburging without cutting the grass to make me feel like I'm a player with ethic, and I actually succeeded in getting all golds once again, without taking any credit for it, except for myself.

So yes, coming from an old competitive FPS gamer, I think that abusing a game's flaw is cheating. And duping cars is part of it.

But like other people said, in no way all this duplicating affects my life, nor my GT career. I just think I have the right to give my own personal opinion on this matter.

Why is this thread not deleted? This is exactly why they had save file protection. I wish they would have kept it, I hate cheating more than starting over, this cheapens almost everything about the game and working hard.

You guys all make me sick, "Oh, we don't want game save deleted so we can cheat, we just want to be able to back up our save file in case something horrible happens".

Now threads are up all over the world, including on GTP where we should have better etiquette.

There are plenty of good therapists who can help you with your problems.

Here we can help you enjoy the game. If you can't be bothered 'racing' hopeless A.I. over and over and would like to drive all the cars on the disc you paid for, then threads like this are a great help.

If you think using these techniques to achieve what you want from your game is immoral then; a. Refer to first sentence. b. Dont use them. Simple. Everyones a winner.

Perhaps someone could start a spinoff of The Epic Rage and Crying Thread for people who really need to whine about this. That way the helpful information posted wouldn't get lost in all this moaning.

Thanks Exorcet. Will give that a go next week. If I can drag my self away from the WRS quali'.

(or at least make it so you can't receive gifts for a week after you restored a save game, just to piss off the abusers a little bit).

I dont agree with your post, but I understand all of it apart from what I've quoted. If it makes no difference to you why would you want PD to "piss off the abusers".

Because I believe people should not use "exploits" I all of a sudden need to see a therapist?

Well to each his own I guess but I can already see this ruining the game and value of owning rare cars, now everyone will have everything and any value or hard work to earn a car is gone. Glad your happy with that. 👎

 

[GTP_FastM3]

I guess I should add what I'm doing. To get over a dozen cars a day on your main account, you'll need to set up multiple PSN's on your PS3 (or other PS3's). These new accounts all start a new game, level 0. I used my old birthday exploit PSN's.

1. From your main account, buy a 1970 Challenger and race transmission
OR buy a 2009 GT-R Spec V and tune it to the limit of what's allowed by the GT-R seasonal event.

2. Send the to one of the alt accounts and win the Challenger/GT-R seasonal event (warning, this ends sometime in January I think)

3. Once you've won one of them, buy the other car and win the other seasonal.

4. The account is now level 18 with 1,500,000+ cr.

5. Go to special events, win the go kart races (you will have a go kart), and the Gold all the NASCAR events.

6. Get a free NASCAR from getting all gold

7. Win the NASCAR seasonal event

8. Level ~ 20, with 2.5 million cr

9. Send the Challenger/GT-R to the next alt account, and repeat.

While this take a while to set up, once it is done, you will be completely self sufficient in the game. It's the best way to play if you're not into the credit earning thing.

I got this idea from you somewhere else on this site. I have 5 extra accounts. I've got 700k in 4 of them from getting silver on the GT-R event (that's the best I can do so far). I'm going to do the Challenger event soon (I've already golded it on my main account). I want to have at least 4 accounts over a million credits and 1 or 2 over 2 million. Then I can gift cars to my main account from the UCD and premium dealership. I'll just have to use my main account for the race cars costing > 1.5 million or high level.

 

[manhorsedog]

Wow why do you people care? Don't do it if you don't want to but please don't complain about it. It's annoying and a waste of time.

I have never glitches and never will but anybody that's wants to can be my guest. Have 10000 x1's for all I care and a billion dollars, doesn't change my game AT ALL!

It is literally none of your business how someone else plays their own game. It does not affect you one tiny little bit.

If there was no online then I would agree with you, but a great part of this game now is showing your progress, and hard work online by using cars that others haven't accessed yet or found yet. Making things rare, have value, have intrigue.

Now, if everyone can get anything it does nothing but cheapen everything about owning unique or expensive cars.

 

[machschnel]

I'm really loving this. When I was asking for Arcade Mode do be unlocked, all I got was the classic GTPlanet "whinge" - "why don't don't you work for it", "I hate cheaters".

But you know what? IT WOULD HAVE AFFECTED NO ONE! You would go online (the only place where you can see other's cars) and still only have to race or trade cars that were gotten in GT Life.

But now you elitists are stuck with duping and I'm sitting here licking all your delicious tears. Unlocking Arcade Mode would have taken the need to dupe cars away - why do a 10 minute work around when you can just go to Arcade Mode and enjoy the car/track you want - instantly.

So enjoy duping GTPlanet, you deserve it.

Hmm. "Exploits" Try and live your life while never exploiting a thing. You wont last a minute.

The therapist comment was maybe a bit harsh but it wasn't meant literally. I dont want to offend you. I just think that the problem here lies with YOU and not the people duping cars.

If you enjoy playing through the game and earning everything as it was intended then great. Good luck. When you have everything you want it will feel much sweeter.

But if the very knowledge that someone else gets all the cars without earning them spoils the game for you then thats YOUR problem.

Would you feel the same if Kaz has a copy of the disc for himself that has everything unlocked or if the team at PD had one for lunchbreak racing? Would they make you sick?

Does my 8 year old brother make you sick because he cuts corners and rams the AI on every turn? Does he? Tell me and I'll let him know how upset you are because of him.

 

[machschnel]

EVERYTHING. Why would people cheat if there was no need? Think about it, a "cheater" does not want to work for things - he just wants them quickly. Unlocking Arcade Mode allows him this want.

The second point (although dubious) is that "cheaters" most likely have a shorter attention span, so they could play Arcade Mode, lose attention and (hopefully) stop playing GT5, because as we know, some people don't deserve to play the hallowed Gran Turismo, right

 

[Hun200kmh]

I completely, wholeheartedly agree with SlipZtrEm's post. It is clear, more than I would be able to be.

The game is what it is, and I don't want to enter the "Is this game's career mode balanced?" debate.

One thing I know ... I never used the birthday exploit, but never censored anyone for using it (because the game's devs had some very strange ideas with a nasty effect on career mode... oh wait, I said I wouldn't discuss that ).

But the reason why I never used it had nothing to do with a supposed "cheating" of the game. I never used it because it envolved some "abuse" of the PSN rules. ANd I didn't want to do it.

Now, the duplication of cars and credits? No rule braking here whatsoever. Instead, I'm circumventing some of this game's (Stupid)oddities, and saving my poor PS3 many, many hours of "playing -by-itself" (disclaimer: I'm a long time hater of B-Spec, ever since this disgrace to gaming showed up in GT4).

And to all those that think the duplication of cars is for arcade racers with short attention-span ... wake up.

FIRST: I'm building up my collection of cars trying to put a quick end to my offline career. As of now, I only have enduros to race and I'm not going to race them with pain. I'll wait the right moment, reunite with the right friends, and I plan to do both 24 hours (A-Spec, won't bother with the B-Spec ones ... ) still in 2010.

SECOND: Once I get rid of offline, time to go ONLINE. And this comes from someone that spent a few days in GT5P Offline to then spend a few years playing it exclusively ONLINE. That's where the fun begins.

Of course if Kaz made a disc for PD to enjoy with everything unlocked I wouldn't care, they made the game, developers can do whatever they want. I was referring to the way the game was built, and the value that cars have in the game, and how it is now cheapened with this exploit to gain any car for free with no work at all other than the work to do the exploit itself.

Also, no, your 8 year old brother doesn't make me sick, how he drives has nothing to do with my comments about people using an exploit to gain any car they desire.

Well the way you explain it here is true, its not breaking any written rules that I can think of. This reminds of of Halo Reach, where people would go into a lobby with 3 guests on each side, and have four controllers on front of them, and just shoot the extra people they signed in as guests just to boost up their stats. It was not against the rules, so they say its not cheating, pretty much the same attitude we see here, its not against the rules so it must not be cheating.

 

[Sele1981]

I also tried this out and bought me an free Enzo but it does not feel right :/ On the other hand, how the hell should we make 20.000.000 and spent all the money for one single car like the P4

I know nothing of Halo, only play racing games. But if I understand you rcomparison correctly, I'd say you are not correct. Because you are talking about stats online.

I'll make a comparison with GT: I don't think this game has win/lose ratio in our stats (like we had in previous iterations). But I suspect, the way I see people playing it, that such a ratio is totally irrelevant. Because people are using a FORMULA CAR or the fantasist X2010 to race against "Normal" cars.

Is this cheating? Not in the sense that it brakes the game's rules. It doesn't.

But the game's rules are laughable.


Now, I ask you, who do you think has a behaviour closer to the Halo guys killing a non-existant player?

Option a) The guys that get cars to race quicker by duplication-gifting one another methods?

Option b) The guys that use the X2010 and the FGT against Mazdas Mx-5 or even Toyota Minoltas, both in A-Spec and B-Spec??????


I'd say killing non-players is the same thing as racing against no competition

So its ok to cheat by cutting the track but not by duping cars? The end result is the same.
My brother could just keep losing until he's good enough to win fair and square. I could play GT5 for a few hours a week and wait years to unlock everything.

My brother wants to win now. I want lots of cars now.

The cars in your version of GT are still worth the same, to you. You will have to work just as hard to earn them, you should feel the same sense of achievement when you get them, regardless of how I or anyone else but you gets theirs. Surely you understand this?

I never said its ok for your brother to cheat, if there was no online mode to this game then I wouldn't care about an exploit to get any car. However there is an online mode where people bring rare cars to race them and just like in real life there is value to that and people are excited to see these rare or valuable cars that are hard to get.

Now, if its as easy as just doing a glitch, we will no longer have these rare or valuable cars.

I hope that makes a little more sense as to why this glitch bothers me.

I wasn't trying to use the comparison of gameplay, sorry for not making that clear. What I was trying to do was compare the mentality of "its not against the rules, so its not cheating". Which is the same mentality I see in this thread.

Everyone with common sense knows this is a loophole, something that PD will hopefully fix, because I can bet almost anything that if you asked PD if this is how they intended people to earn cars they would say "no", then if you asked them if this was against the spirit of the game they would say "yes".

 

[DOUQA]

It makes a little more sense yes. The thing is, none of these cars are rare,(how many copies sold?) anyone can obtain the cars. You're never going to know if the guy you're racing earned it or duped it. Does it matter?

I hope you don't let it bother you too much and enjoy playing the game as you see fit. I'm tired of this discussion. Maybe I'll see you online one day and we can enjoy racing. For me that is what GT is about.👍👍

 

[tyl0r_r]

Well to each his own I guess

If you actually believed in those words you used then you'd likely be complaining much less frequently about things that don't affect you in any way whatsoever.

 

[Bounkazz]

It's not cheating, it's just exploiting a loop hole in the game.

This, and it's not a glitch either... Lol?

 

[GT Motion]

If you actually believed in those words you used then you'd likely be complaining much less frequently about things that don't affect you in any way whatsoever.

I do believe those words, however, it does affect me because of online. The way it was before, it would be rare to see the hard to get, hard to find, or expensive cars online. Now with this glitch, it makes it easy and possible for anyone to have anything without any real hard work.

Anyways, I think I will leave this thread, I hope you guys can get the cars you want without it ruining the fun of having rare and expensive cars online, if not, then oh well I guess.

My own take:

Online is about racing. I'm very thankful for the exploit because it has had a hand in letting me have X1 races online, along with other higher end cars. I could care less about rarity, rarity has no value IMO. Everything should be unlocked to facilitate the best online racing possible.

 

[jonny_goddard]

It's not cheating, it's just exploiting a loop hole in the game.

sooooo........ it's still cheating.....

 

[7HO]

I had a real problem with the birthday cheat because it required you to make an account with fraudulent details so I didn't do it.

But I have no problem with this. I have three accounts because since I bought my PS3 I wanted to change my PSN twice and the only way I can do this is to create a new account, that's Sony's fault. I like GT5 for the sim aspect unfortunately it also forces a game aspect on me and this is not the way I want to play this game. I haven't used this exploit yet, I wish I had of before I sent all my good cars from my second account to my new account, I just can't understand why people get so upset about others trying to play the game the way they wish to since it has no impact on anyone else's game.

I challenge all those who think this exploit is an unfair cheat to tell me they have never entered an A-spec event with one of their fastest cars just to get the gold, XP and credits. That's an exploit, you are exploiting the lack of restrictions to get what you want as easy as possible. I do this all the time because I don't like all the events in GT and because I don't enjoy driving certain types of cars (such as FF and Japanese ****boxes, no offence to genuinely awesome Japanese cars intended), when I come up to these events I use the fastest eligible car I own to easily pass this part of the game that I will never play again.

Some people grind the same event over and over in a car that can easily win just to get more money to buy the cars they want, that's crazy, you shouldn't have to, why would you want to? And if you do why would you get upset with people trying to do the same thing you are trying to do a different way.

IMO PD should just release a code or an option that lets people get any or every car so that people can play the game the way they wish. Remember this is a game that tries to appeal to lots of different people, some people are hardcore GT fanbois, they love the GT gameplay just as it is, others are car lovers who just want to drive the cars they dream of owning or race the car they own in real life, others are sim racers and they just want to race other real people in whatever car they choose online. There are a lot of people who just want to drive the cars they want and hate the grinding aspect or hate the A-spec gameplay, thankfully this loophole 1.05 has created lets these guys have more fun playing this game.

I really have to agree with a comment made earlier in this thread, using this method to get cars you want can allow people to play the game the way they want and let people have more fun playing the game by allowing them to concentrate on the aspects they want to concentrate on such as driving instead of forcing them to do things they have no fun doing.

FWIW I will use this method to get a bunch of cars I want in my garage but unlike others the cars I want most are not the 20 million credit cars, I just want multiple versions of every V8 FR car in my garage (and the vipers). So how does me getting a bunch of slow muscle cars easily hurt or effect anyone else?

 

[Bounkazz]

sooooo........ it's still cheating.....

No, exploiting. Using someting to your own advantage. Not necessarily cheating.

If you use a larger turbo on a car to go faster, does this count as cheating? No. You're USING the turbo the go faster.

He's USING Polyphony's generosity to his advantage. Simple.
