GTPedia

[Famine]

At least now you know your pain is shared.

 

[C_Raccoon23]

Glad you like that

I did my very best to generate a methodology that would get every AI car but there remains the possibility that I missed something rare. It was a pain to do and no mistake!

I'm sure it was. Really appreciate you putting all of this together.

 

[Odyofil]

Price is too high for me, its like 45 Turkish Liras, and its expensive for a univercity stundent. Please drop the pdf one's price to like 10$ huh

 

[maxpontiac]

I ordered it earlier this morning!

Famine spent approximately 18 months putting all the data for this book together and that was day in, day out. That wasn't including all the data he had already collated previously from each game shortly after their release.

He stopped only a few days before our baby was born last November and then Jordan took over, spending another year sorting out the layout, editing it and making sure it was perfect before finally releasing it for sale. I have seen numerous draft copies and revisions of this book.

Would you expect something, which has taken that much time and effort to not turn at least a small profit? Would you give that away for free?

I'm sorry if I seem blunt or even defensive but I have first hand seen the amount of work which has gone into this project and I keep reading negative comments which make me feel really quite dismayed

GTPedia. Breaking up families since 2012.

J/K.

Again kudoos for the massive effort, and I can't wait until it arrives!

Respect to them for their efford! 👍

Just makes me want to get it even more!

I guess it's great, and I appreciate the effort required but can't ignore this: insert.wikia.com (GTA one is the most detailed and elaborate), MGS4 Database (PS3 software) and many more (not to mention wikipedia.com). All of these things took much effort (many years), yet all of these are free.
I don't know, it's morally inadequante to profit on someone else's intelectual property (even tho it's legally possible), even more morally challenging when similar things (such as wikis, and such) are distrubuted at no cost.

 

[KinLM]

Considering I'm 14, the money may take a few weeks to save up.. But this is absolutely a must-have!

I'd just like to thank you both, Jordan and Famine. I've been quite upset lately whenever I've looked up any unofficial information on Google and found it to be wrong, so to have something made by people with a serious attention to detail will be appreciated! You have my purchase!

Or.. You WILL have it when I get the money..

 

[Omnis]

Uh-oh, labor theory of value...

Although I agree with your final sentiment. If you're a GT fan, you owe it to yourself to pick up this gem of a book. Being that it's such an impressive collection of knowledge and utility, it certainly doesn't deserve any negativity from the audience for which it was created.

 

[Northstar]

Kudos for compiling all the info.

However, as much as I love supporting this site, I don't want to spend money on something I will never use. So I will buy someone premium sometime soon(I realize the irony there).👍

And can also be edited by anyone, regardless of them actually knowing what they are talking about or not.

You must hate the non-fiction section of libraries...

 

[C-ZETA]

Went and downloaded the pdf. It's certainly a very lovely thing.

Where would updates for the book be posted where necessary though?

And wrong.

Yeah I know. Look at all the moral inadequantes in the reference book industry (particularly dictionaries that profit from the intelectual property of everyone - our language). Also, (sic).

GTPlanet costs money to run. In fact it costs a crapload of money to run. You're currently using it for free - Jordan is personally throwing money at you to complain at him, while the two of us spent slightly more than two years putting together the greatest single reference guide to the Gran Turismo series ever made to help ensure this site's survival as a community.

Tell me more about morally challenging behaviour.

 

[Speed XII]

Guess you're right, although not every wiki is wrong (hence I said GTA wikia).

Anyways, went to check if I could buy this and to my dissapointment - I can't, country not supported.

 

[ch3ng]

I looked at the sample. I must say this is great thanks for your work. But is it possible to add some picture, because sometimes it looks a little bit boring.

 

[Brend]

Gonna order this on Friday.

No questions asked. This looks like a fantastic item for my Gran Turismo collection.

You can always get the PDF version of it.

 

[Speed XII]

Can't, country not supported.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Can't, country not supported.

What country do you live in? If you have an internet connection and a way to send the money, I don't understand why you can't purchase it. Considering the book ships to 190 countries and there are only 196 countries, there should be a very good chance your country is supported.

 

[Speed XII]

But it isn't, oh well.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Like I asked before, what country do you live in?

Do you think GTPlanet will die?
I doubt it this community is the best and nicest ive seen...
Very active too

 

[mattythedog]

Famine said he might be able to get a box shipped over to the UK, thus reducing shipping costs for us outside the US. Any developments on the idea?

 

[Famine]

Yes. It's ludicrously expensive and we'd have to pay import duty and import VAT (despite VAT not being applicable to books in the UK).

I'm investigating a plan B, but it's not going to occur before Christmas.

 

[tronrider345]

I only have a question ..

How will you update the book , when for example , a new DLC comes out?

Thanks for the update. 👍 I think I'll just buy the book now.

 

[Famine]

A pdf will be e-mailed to those who've bought a copy of either the eBook or hardcopy.

This is true. The MGS4 database is definitely wrong. So not worth the free download. GTA wiki and Futurama wiki are far from the best.

As for the GTPedia, I wholeheartedly appreciate the effort Jordan and Famine have put in, and cannot wait to get a hardcopy of the book, pending Famine's plan B.

Same here:tup:

With regards to purchasing the book, I will hold off until Christmas is over, then see if Famine can get a box of them for us in the UK.

 

[Johnnypenso]

I appreciate all the effort you guys put into this site. I'm sure a lot of us take it for granted but it really is a relief to come to a place to discuss GT5 and not have to suffer through textspeak, poor grammar, fighting and bickering and overall childish behaviour. If it wasn't run the way it is, I wouldn't be here it's that simple.

With that in mind, I'll show my support by ordering a hard copy of the book for the Chistmas Season to give to the only person I know in my real life that is a fan of GT5...me
