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

[GT Motion]

I'm really glad we have members like you who don't read the rules and send an e-mail (three times) to every member of staff on the site when something they don't like happens. Incidentally, stop double posting and stop abusing the report button - it's for reporting things which break the AUP only.


You still haven't answered the question though. Is discussing cheats and glitches against our rules (while you contemplate the answer, have a look at this part of the site)? If it were, what on Earth are we supposed to do about people using cheats and glitches? Are we the Gran Turismo police now?

Well actually I originally just reported the first post, because I don't think we should have threads up showing how to glitch.

Then you replied with pretty "smart" comments, and as a moderator I don't think you should be acting that way. It doesn't matter though its just a forum, I'm ok if your ok.

Cheating is cheating. Whether it be duping cars or driving cars with ABS set to 1. Sure there might be degrees of cheating, but that's not really my point.

Driving cars with ABS set from 0-10 is in no way cheating, its an option they put in the game, and options available in real life cars.

Going to a gamesave file, and then copying it over, then deleting the older file, then recopying the other file etc is definitely an exploit or "cheating" depending on how you look at it.

Yeah, I've been saying that since the update too. But on here, it's all pointless. So you might as well just move on. It's more the dev's fault for not protecting the game better. With them just throwing out there some open ended data save. Of course the kids are going to run wild with it. People love to take short cuts. If PD was smart, they would have level locked each car. So dupe all one thousand plus if you like. But if you don't met the level needed to drive it. It's just something to look at until then. That way, everyone still has to put the time in to drive the nicer cars.

But knowing how lazy most gamers this generation are. They'll just get bored with the game and move on. That and give it a month or two and the game will just fall off the radar of most everyone's interests anyway. More so now that money ( credits ) and car earning achievements are both meaningless. I see more and more games on Craigslist nowadays for an avg $40.

ThE-1cY, I may have another sugestion for the save game glitch. When you recieve a "mystery prize car ticket" for example a Lv24 ticket for finishing the extreme tier level dont open the ticket but quite game and backup save game. Then go back in and open the ticket, if you get the most disapointing piece of snot car aviliable in level 24 like I did you can just delete your save reload your backup and the untouched ticket is still there.

You don't need to think. Look at the AUP - like I originally told you to do. The AUP tells you what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. Wasting the time of all the staff because you think something's wrong when it's not actually against the AUP is not liable to endear you to us (especially as that function has a warning on it to say you should only use it to report AUP violations). We have enough to deal with right now with people who are actually breaking the rules without having people complaining that other people are playing the game differently and that we shouldn't allow it - and that if we do, we're a site full of evil cheaters

It doesn't matter though its just a forum, I'm ok if your ok.

If you quit the double-posting that I've already told you about twice now, perhaps.

Going to a gamesave file, and then copying it over, then deleting the older file, then recopying the other file etc is definitely an exploit or "cheating" depending on how you look at it.

Oddly, that's exactly the method I'm using to generate accurate data for the car database stuck to the top of this forum, separate from my actual game. Who'd have thunk something so evil could be so useful to the community?

I apologize for "double post", I have never posted the same thing twice in a row, so I am assuming you are referring to when I quote one person, then quote another person after.

That is because I am not savvy enough to figure out how to quote multiple people on the same reply.

You are right, if this stuff in this thread is not against the policy of GTP then reporting it does me no good. Hopefully we can both be at peace now and just move on, sorry for confusion/whatever this was.

YOf course the kids are going to run wild with it. People love to take short cuts. If PD was smart, they would have level locked each car.

If PD was smart, huh? In your opinion. In my opinion, if they wanted to appeal to serious sim racers instead of a combination arcade/RPG from yesterday's generation, they would have unlocked all the cars and tracks from the beginning.

Licensing tests, fine. (Although I think the nature of the S tests was flawed). Special events, fine. But if you guys really think that grinding away to "earn" credits makes buying the cars more legitimate, well, whatever. You're never going to convince anybody who considers it a silly waste of time.

What you wrote contradicts itself.

ABS is an option within the game that you can use.

Duping is an option within the PS3 that you can use.

Both are options and both are freely available while your playing your PS3.

It's not like anyone is hacking Sony's server to dupe.

To the left of "Quote" (and "Edit" on your own posts) is a double-speech-bubble called Multiquote. Click and you select a post to quote. Do the same on others and you select a whole bunch of them. Click "Quote" on the last one you want to quote and you create an Advanced reply with all the selected posts quoted.

A lot of GTP's core members are insane. We have, amongst us, people who were aiming for 200pt in A-Spec in every possible race in GT4 (it wasn't possible, but there was a maximum that some people actually achieved) - and some who'd even do that and give the AI the respect and wide berth they didn't give back. We have. amongst us, people who tried to get 100% in the minimum possible amount of game time or real time. We have people who'd only A-Spec it and never use Bob. We have people who won't rally, or won't use F1 cars. We have hybriders. We have people who'll only use white cars. Now we have people who'll duplicate cars too.

The key fact here is that everyone plays the game how they want to. If you play the game differently, that's how you play it. You aren't a lesser or greater player to anyone else because you duplicate cars, or only drive white ones, or don't use racers, or only drive on Thursdays, or have 111,813 A-Spec points, or any other constraints or lack of that you can imagine. What you don't do is bring a hybrid car to an online race, smash every other bugger out of the way and cut the corners.


Do what you like offline - when I'm done with my current set of saves, I'm going for a 100%, minimum game time save without buying any car other than those required for certain events that you cannot use a prize car for and without receiving any gifted cars (I have an offline account for this). We're not bothered and it's not our place to be bothered. But behave accordingly online - you won't get banned from the site for driving like a loin in public lobbies (though your GTP_Registry membership might be terminated), but you won't be involved in our private lobbies if you do.

It is, after all, a game. Play it and enjoy it.

Which means you earn nothing on your own huh? The I-generation..... I-phone, I-touch, I-pad, I-earn nothing..... yeah lol some more.

Oh yeah, because we learn SOOO much by running Like The Wind 100 times against a bunch of useless, AI who most of the time do nothing but fall all over themselves. Yeah, that's it. Please. You're just making it worse.

I'm sorry, I just can't take any of these comments seriously. Learn life's lessons by NOT glitching cars in a silly game. That will do it. Get real.

You know, I get the distinct impression that some of you guys are just furious that all of your 'hard work', and I use that term loosely, has gone to waste because of other's glitching cars and the lot of you are irked that you can't strut around like peacocks and impress the n00bs with the cars you 'paid for after spending hundreds of hours playing your game.

Jesus Christ dude, STOP MAKING SO MUCH SENSE!

Your logical points have no place in this thread, go be rational somewhere else.

Don't you understand? When you or anyone else glitch cars on your account, it directly makes everyone else's lives worse. But please dude, don't tell the butthurts that GT5 has an "arcade" mode where they can play all kinds of cars that they didnt have to grind for....if they find that out, its all over dude.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Which means you earn nothing on your own huh? The I-generation..... I-phone, I-touch, I-pad, I-earn nothing..... yeah lol some more.

Your posts have repeatedly made some (erroneous) connection between people who have glitched/duplicated cars and the "lazy generation", as if all people who've done either of those things are all roughly the same age. That's a huge brush to be painting with.

And well, looking at your signature, and the low level A-Spec you're at, but the high level B-Spec... it seems pretty likely the only reason you have an X1 is because of Bob. As in, the free one handed to every single person provided they can run their PS3 long enough to get their Bobteam to achieve level 35.

I'm therefore a bit confused where this entitled "earning" complaining comes from. Other people haven't had as much time to... tell an AI driver to start a race? So they are getting cars gifted to them that were only a handful of days, maybe a few weeks, out of their grasp, since the X1 is a time-based prize, not skill.

Famine's one of those crazies who are going to try the minimum-purchased run-through for the game. I did that too for a large chunk of the start of my GT5 save, until I realized there were a ton of new cars I wanted to fiddle with for my own personal enjoyment, GT Mode completion be damned. We all play differently.

 

[Kwicko]

Or you could just save and backup your game, then buy an expensive car. If it's **** just reload. Obviously this is only for cars which are worth it, or rather expensive i.e. multimillion cars.

Yup. I found out about that too late, but it's what I'd recommend, and what I'm doing now. If I'm on the fence about buying a car, I'll back up my data before doing so.

In theory, using "The Glitch", you *could* do this, buy the new car, send it off, then reload your backup data; you'd have your money back, and could use your other account to send the new car back to yourself as well, getting the best of both worlds, so to speak.

I've been called a cheater in this thread, which bugs me a bit, since I've never stated whether I personally believe in using The Glitch, or exploiting a vulnerability in the game. I've just stated the possibility of someone doing so, and hypothesized on how it might be done, and other ways in which The Glitch might be utilized to a gamer's advantage.

Personally, I'm torn. It's not within the spirit of the game, but the possibility is *IN* the game. I'm reminded of the Indy 500 race in (I think it was) 1994, when the Penske Marlboro team came to the race with a new pushrod engine design, utilizing a loophole in the rules (a "glitch" or "exploit", you could call it), whereby pushrod engines were allowed to be far more powerful than their overhead-valve counterparts. This was because it was thought that such an engine couldn't be done, an oversight by the rules committee.

The Glitch reminds me of such an oversight.

Driving cars with ABS set from 0-10 is in no way cheating, its an option they put in the game, and options available in real life cars.

Going to a gamesave file, and then copying it over, then deleting the older file, then recopying the other file etc is definitely an exploit or "cheating" depending on how you look at it.

Actually, it's not. As you pointed out, THEY put the "option" in the game. Thus, using it is legit. Maybe they didn't intend that it should be utilized this way, or foresee that it could be, but it's there, so it's "legal" and not "cheating" to do this.

 

[GoldenGate]

I admit to using this glitch/cheat/exploit, whatever you want to call it.

You want to know why?

While browsing through the UCD I came across both the RS200 and 205 turbo rally cars. Now, I only had enough money to buy one of the cars, and by the time I'd saved enough for the second car, it would have disappeared from the dealership, meaning I would have to wait an undefined amount of time for the other car to show up in the UCD again, or use the save game exploit. Guess which method I used?

Yep, that's right, I used the save game exploit so I could obtain both cars to have fun with driving laps round my favourite tracks trying to beat my previous best.

If that makes me a bad person, then I'm sorry, but its not going to stop me enjoying the game. Oh, and here's my PSN ID: GoldenGateFields, add me to your block list so you don't have to come across my cheating scum online.

 

[Dazi]

not cool , i hate people who exploit these kinds of things , and the birthday glitch or whatever it's called .. Am i wasting hours doing endurance races and **** for nothing?

 

[GeneralJesh]

Yes.

 

[Mini-turbo-dave]

I used this for my own benefit. No way in hell was I going to fork out 4.8 million for the FGT to use it once.. Or one race series. Don't like it.. Don't like f1 or any open wheel racing. This us handy. I may use it again but it won't effect anyone elses game.. Even online. If I bother. At the end of the day there are restrictions online so I can't turn up in a 1,000,000 Hp car. It's the driving that counts there. And again it's only a game. Games are meant to be 'fun'. A break from the stresses of everyday life. Morgage... wife... Kids... All gone while u have a blast round the burg in your R8 LM. All u cheat haters are telling me you never once cheated on anything? Never a GTA lose wanted level Cheat or invincible sonic for the older gen... Meh! I'm sure there are bigger issues in the world than 'duping' cars on a game. PD still get there money... I still enjoy the game. Everyones a winner.

 

[Bounkazz]

Lol @ all the fanboy "cheating" haters, haha!

 

[kdryan]

Not really that simple. As far as anyone's posted that I've seen, the Ferrari F40 is the highest-selling car that you can actually SELL in the game, at 135,000cr. So you're going to spend an awful lot of time sending F40s to yourself to resell them for the cash.

I plunked down hard-earned money for some very expensive race cars, only to find that they weren't all I hoped they'd be - and then was stuck with them, since I couldn't resell them, and wasn't really willing to just give them away or toss them aside for nothing.

You *SHOULD* be able to resell them. Hell, you *SHOULD* be able to sell any car you've got in your garage. But it ain't that way in the game...

You're probably right. Seemed like a good idea at the time...

 

[Jebon]

Either 'cheat' or not, it's up to you. You pay for the game, it's up to you to do whatever you want. I may do this 'cheat' someday but not now. Now, I'm totally enjoying this game & love earns those cars by win races.

 

[Kwicko]

not cool , i hate people who exploit these kinds of things , and the birthday glitch or whatever it's called .. Am i wasting hours doing endurance races and **** for nothing?

Are you "wasting hours"? Depends. You still have the "accomplishment" of finishing the endurance races. But really, did you want that Mazda 110S ('67) badly enough to drive 4 hours at Tsukuba in a Miata to get it? Was that the whole reason you were driving that race, just for the car?

 

[Joey D]

not cool , i hate people who exploit these kinds of things , and the birthday glitch or whatever it's called .. Am i wasting hours doing endurance races and **** for nothing?

If you feel you are wasting time doing the races then why bother with them in the first place?

 

[Aztech2]

It seems that the argue will never be extinguished lol!@!@

 

[kdryan]

You will always have the purists who think that even accidentally cutting the corner on the grass is cheating. You will always have people who think a cheat to automatically win every race would be acceptable.

As with everything else in life, somewhere in the middle is the truth. It's up to you to decide for yourself where it lies.

The argument is unsolvable..

 

[coho1234]

I really cannot understand the furor over people using these cheats, exploits, glitches or whatever you like to call them. Nobody is hacking or changing the coding in any way. Nobody is winning any real money by using these techniques. I could care less what someone in China or Russia is doing or using. They paid for their game, they can do whatever they want. I've owned every game system since the Atari/Intellivision days and as far as I can remember, cheat codes and shortcuts have always been around. Its up to each individual what they choose to do and how they choose to play the game. If I felt that the cheat or technique detracted from my enjoyment of playing the game, I wouldn't use it. I remember back in the GT3 days, you could get 10 million in credits right off the back using a game shark. I didn't use it because I thought I would enjoy the game more by just starting from scratch and using whatever prizes I won from winning the games. I was not upset in the least that my friends were using it and owning FGT cars right off the bat.

As for the values of the cars being severely lessened because of this. Too bad. I don't feel that these cars should have any value outside of the game. If you earned an FGT or another supercar without using these cheats, then terrific. Just because someone was able to dupe or have a car given to them from using these cheats, shouldn't in any way diminish your accomplishments. Maybe I'm old school in my way of thinking but I feel that there is something fundamentely wrong with seeing some of these "virtual" cars being sold on Ebay. With these exploits, I'm glad to see that has been curtailed.

 

[David_GT]

Why do people care so much? I'm new to GT, GT5 was my first one, I am enjoying it a good lot but I am finding it hard at points, like the Top Gear challenge, the best I got was third and I really want that track, but I will play the game properly because thats how I choose to play it, if you want the best car in the game go ahead and do this glitch you won't hear a word out of me, I don't mind in the slightest.

 

[Ghova]

whats an decoy account btw?

 

[C_Raccoon23]

whats an decoy account btw?

A fake account people make so they can dupe cars or do the birthday exploit.

 

[Tvensky]

after reading all this! I still think this is the worst thread! This ruins the fun for me and other fair players who plays GT alot and earn Hard money to buy and tune their cars. Now people like me can't dominate with car collections (only with driving). Now when I see some guy with alot of cars I just will think.. ohh, probobly he makes money in this glich. I dont even want to buy some insane prised cars now, for me after this dumb commercial is pointless and fun ruined. There just are some **** people in this world who just dont understand.. and never will, not just this, but even other things! now you can jump on me! fell free 👎

happy new year 2011!

 

[Tonystew42]

I think this is exploiting the game and shouldn't be done, but I can see why someone would do it. I don't like it because now the rarer cars aren't worth near as much as they should be because everything has been inflated. If you're giving a car to a friend that really needs it, I can see why this would be applied. It's when these "fakes" (bad term, I know, but I couldn't think of anything else) start floating around on the internet to the point where you've got Wal*marts in the Marketplace forum selling these things like toilet paper that I'd draw the line. Unfortunately, there really is no way to stop this other than eliminate the feature to save on outside devices, I highly doubt Kaz would approve of either of these things.
