Episode 19 - Furinkazen
Our next guest is a major presence in the Race Series section. Give it up for Furinkazen!
What has brought you here to GTP? How long have you been a member?
I became a GTP member a year ago, my passion for GT bought me here!
How has GT5 been for you?
I've enjoyed it for what it is. It is much improved from what it used to be when it originally came out.
What has been your favourite vehicle to drive at the moment?
I have a 80hp Fiat 500 (the old 1960's premium) that is mean as hell in black with red trin rims and a full bodykit. 80+mph and it's louder than an Enzo!
What about tracks? Are there any particular favorites you have?
Spa and Le Mans. Both fine pieces of work by PD. Racing down the Mulsanne Straight at 230mph is incredible.
Have you played around with photomode at all? If so, how do you like it?
Photomode is a brilliant feature, great at capturing the atmosphere and action of the race. Photo Travel is brilliant as well, it's a shame that we can use only premiums though.
What is your favourite GT game and why?
GT5 raises the bar above all else.
Are there any other video games do you enjoy playing?
Big fan of the hack and slash genre, with the Dynasty Warriors series and it's spin-offs Samurai Warriors and Warriors Orochi. Also throw Capcom's anime-based Sengoku Basara in and I'm sold
Switching over to real life, what do you drive? Is it in the game and if so, how does in compare?
I don't even have a car yet
Whats your favorite car and what is it about it that you like so much?
The Shelby Cobra. Pure power and old fashioned muscle. Especially my special with 750hp
What's your other hobbies?
Japanese history buffs may get where my username comes from, but ancient Japanese history (in particular the Samurai) interest me. As does the Kaiju Eiga or Japanese monster film featuring Gamera, Godzilla, Ghidorah and other famous kaiju monsters.
Anything else you'd like to say?
Good luck to all the GTP Community in 2012 and also keep an eye out for my Racing Series - Vintage Le Mans, NASCAR Nationwide, IROC, and the flagship TOCA Series all kicking in
Thanks to you all
