I still havent tried it but were are the mid save endurance.

You have to pit to be able to save. When you pull into the pits the game asks you if you want to save, if you choose to save the game makes you quit and return to the XMB. The next time you play the game will load your save and you'll start where you left off at the begining of the pits.

The new intro movie looks good

Is it weird that I'm most excited about the paint pack?

Me too, the purple chrome and pastel blue,green and purple look great.
Also, has anyone got two cars in photo mode yet because I can't find the option and i'm sure it was added. Furthermore, the replay rewind and ff isn't what I expected - skipping to frames minutes apart.

 

[TiZzla]

I barely ever paint my cars.

I've hardly even scratched the surface of GT5 when I think about it.

I'm so happy that they have added all of the things I really wanted.

Slipstream effect can now be reduced, shuffle racing can now have the car types tweaked. Pretty much all I do in this game is race online in either shuffle mode or same car mode and the slipstream was the only thing killing it. And shuffle mode needed faster cars.

Sounds like the shadows have been improved too.

I'm waiting for the TV to be free so I can play until the early hours of the morning

The X2011 has me really intrigued. Im not a huge fan of the X2010 but it'd be interesting to see what changes have been made aside from the cosmetic work like the wide rear wing and the front wheel cover been drawn back to meet the back...

 

[Xenn]

Is it me, or does the in-door go kart track look really out of place?

I'm still waiting for my 2.0 update to download, hopefully I won't be dissapointed.

Not knocking anyone's taste but the anti bad taste livery gang will be most upset.

Purple chrome I'm sure at least one mod would like.

No, it won't resume from where you left it. Either download when you have faster speeds, when the GT server load is less or just stick with it.

 

[Spagetti69]

Endurance download. Nice. No option to save your download.

For the pure download junkie. A true hardcore download mode.

Lol. Mid-Download saves- Coming February. Cue the anti-mid-download flame. First argument- Its about the realism. Do YOU save a download part way through IRL?


On topic. I do like the mid-enduro save. Think I may tackle the 24 hour over the next week...

 

[okami11408]

I'm really dissapoint with the DLC car. Those cars are just RM version and should be in the game in the first place.

We'll nerver get Koenigsegg, new Pagani, new Lambo, new Ferrari in GT5.

NEVER!

Guys, I have a question (I cannot verify myself now).
Tuning can be locked In the Lounge.
I hope this means tuning and parts (like if you select a recommended car from the garage).
Can any one confirm that if tuning block is on also added parts are not considered?

Thanks

 

[leepangfu]

Holy ****. Found out that when I did create thumbnails for all cars it only did my 300 premiums. And that took half an hour. Now it still has to do over 900 standard cars. I imagine that will take a while

It does block added parts. Only complete STOCK can compete.

 

[Tired Tyres]

That is the best addition to the game by far. 👍👍👍👍

 

[TiZzla]

Yes the biggest problem with online racing is that most rooms are full of wildly varied cars that mean the racing is crap.

So anything they add to make the cars more equal is better.

 

[Mush_nz]

Not something I recognise. Don't think it's London.

Is that excessive bloom or is that set at night?

 

[nissman]

I dont get why PD didnt include GT tracks!?

I'm guessing they only put Spa for first DLC to get as much money out of us as possible. Probably they have another one prepared for GT tracks later on, to get another bundle of cash!.

*dreaming on*

Its just a darkened London.

Implying that it's quick and easy as 1-2-3 to model a racetrack with the detail that Polyphony does it with.

 

[calvins48]

Spa is one of the hardest tracks to acquire a license for, we won't get it.

What's that?

I think you need to eat your words, sir. Rule number 1: Don't jump to conclusions.

[opelman]

There is working meters in chrysler powler interior view 👍👍

 

[Risco]

Well they did not fix the terrible car sounds, and the AI is still terrible. They added saves, so at least I can attempt to complete the endurace races...

Other than that it was overhyped to the max. I don't do online apart from the b-spec part. PD messed up with this game, and no patch will fix it.

 

[Spagetti69]

Great. It is 2011 mind.

Working meters. Lol.

 

[MatskiMonk]

Have to confess I'm kind of excited about this, and the DLC.. it starts to re-kindle my passion for the GT series, I just hope the DLC packs start to come a bit more often from now on.

 

[MONSTAR-1]

Err, Houston we have a problem...

I went to try out the new physics at a custom track i had already made.
(Well i got it off a friend. )

When i clicked on the track and went there. It was raining, but i cant turn it off.
Can someone else check to see if it happens to you please?
Maybe it has been brought up, not sure

To be fair, this is PD, that enough said.

ditto mate i have all the standards & taking for ever. Only gotta do it once though i guess

 

[Crumpet]

Not much has been said about the new option to have your driver with the car in a picture.
