Pre-release GT5:Prologue Thread Firmware 2.17 mandatory for GT5:P? (and Pictures)

[KSaiyu]

What is with number of laps?

Single race in Arcade seems to be set to 2 with no option to change - the events vary.

I want to ask if there is an option to do a track meet like in GT4, and not really race, just you and the track (and some cars that you can choose to race if you want to...)

That's what I was thinking of - that is what time trial in the events is like, although the time trial in arcade mode has just you on the track by yourself

EDIT: Each manufacturer under the dealership screen has a one make race that puts you in N3 tyres. Touch dissapointed with the fact they chose the 135 for the BMW race instead of the M3, but I think these will be my favourite races.

Is there an offline multiplayer mode or not?

I would love to have some confimation on proper clutch support in gt5P, if it is true (so many rumours have been a load of rubbish lately) then I will probably rush out and get a G25 pretty soon.

How much G25 cost in Australia?

How much G25 cost in Australia?

Expensive, they retail for $499AUD (rougly 298 Euro) but I have seen them as low as $399 AUD (238) and everything in between.


On another related topic, my concerns have been all but confirmed...... UPS says I will get my copy Monday 17th. Order didn't quite make it before the weekend deadline.

Can't see one, sorry.

Yeah I agree, well worth it..... well it will be when I get one.

Yeah I never got the tracking number either, but I went to UPS and tracked by reference

http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/reference?loc=en_AU&WT.svl=SubNav

I put the invoice/order number I got from Play-asia and put it in 'Shipment Reference' box (as well as add other info like post code).

UPS site gives much more info like expected delivery date, tracking code, wether it is on time etc.

[J-PaP]

looks like according to your info i will get mine monday/tuesday.

 

[amar212]

Same here in Croatia, Monday or Tuesday.

Bullsheet.

I payed the most expensive delivery option available for most expensive 0-24 world postal service - AKA FedeEx Priority Envelope - and I have to wait it for 4 days. 96 hours in the world where there are thousands planes on air every minute.

Disgrace and shame.

 

[DustDriver]

interview with Kaz

All very good news, especially for our US friends.
GT5P will be released in Europe AND the US.
http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=news&newsid=23545

So if i understand correctly, GT5P will be like a test game to look what is possible, and that there will come updates with new content like night/day driving and maybe even damage.

 

[Tenacious D]

I keep watching the intro video. Now THAT'S how to start a Gran Turismo game! SCEA make note.

My lady friend is possibly getting this for me for Christmas, but I need to figure out if she is or not pretty soon. I can hardly stand the suspense.

Thats so awesome! And the Daytona road course is on there! Absolutely love the Music for the menu and the Dealership looks great, but Why have there been videos of only the oval and not the road course?

 

[Pebb]

Here is a bunch of shots I took early on.

Note: I tried my best to capture each shot

Note 2: I will upload some more later on.

 

[FoolKiller]

Do those GTTV videos have to be redownloaded or can it pull them from the GT5P demo files?

I had to re-download them, but then again I did delete the videos I watched on the demo version.

 

[FRED SIMÕES]

TVR&Ferrari_Fan did you already tried the BMW M3 Coupé? How is it?

 

[TsLeng]

grrr.....

looks like I have some saving up to do....

Lets see...

PS3 + GT5
HDTV
G25

that's be quite some $$....

 

[GT4 genius]

grrr.....

PS3 + GT5

PS3=€450 GT5=€60 HDTV 26" Bravia=1500 G25=?? (say) 45
Total = €2055 ouch!
But its well worth it, I think!!
Maybe a CRT TV would do you for a while!

I don't have to have the HDTV for now. I'll just use my 20" Sony flat screen. I just want to play. Graphics come later.

Track name in upper right corner? Spakenheim?!

 

[Studentdriver]

Changing from Spa to Hockenheim, or vice versa.
