PS4 - Other than saying no I haven't got one, I haven't got a difinitive answer to your questions.

I had been putting money aside with the possibility of getting one (or an Xbone!), but my PC has now given up completly so it looks like I'm going to have to put the money into that. And then there's the Logitech wheel support problem as well. It's all money, or the lack of it, really.

Put it this way, at the moment if my PS3 broke down I'd probably get a new one of those since I'm still getting enjoyment out GT6 (while the servers are up) and my wheel works with it. I've also got lots of games I've not even tried out yet. (Grid Autosport is great fun!)

If my wheel broke I'd probably get a Thrustmaster replacement that would be compatible with a PS4 so I'd be at least part way ready.

And if I was to get a PS4 I'd want to wait until GT7 (not GT Sport) was released because there will hopefully be a reduced bundle. There also might be a later PS4 slim (or similar) by then.

But there's also a chance that I might even skip the "next gen" and wait for the "next next gen".

Why would Sony require a monthly subscription to PS+?

Sony said that they invested a lot of resources in online infrastructure and that in the choise between charging players for online gaming or lowering the online quality they picked the first option.

 

[polysmut]

I'll get a PS4 when the GT community makes the switch. As it's the only game I play, I haven't got any other reason to get one.

 

[Harsk100]

In answer to @Harsk100 membership of PS+ is required to play online - I believe it is cheapest to pay annually via Amazon for this.

For me, that's unfair. 👎

I had no idea...

 

[LexLathor]

[Harsk100]

I will open an hour later

At 18:00 PM, right? At 19:00 PM, I'll have to make a call for a best friend of mine.

If it was on Zahara, then it would be 1 lap because it is a long track like Nordschleife.

It was a good practising, no divebombing and no contact at all! 👍

2-2-3 please

Although I'm not sure if I can join on Sunday. I hurt my shoulder today, I'll let you know tomorrow @Sick Cylinder if it's got any better.

 

[bloodyboyblue]

I vote for 2-2-3 also.

 

[Sick Cylinder]

We will do 1 - 2 - 3 subject to time. If necessary race 3 will be trimmed to 2 laps.

 

[Harsk100]

2-2-3 please

Although I'm not sure if I can join on Sunday. I hurt my shoulder today, I'll let you know tomorrow @Sick Cylinder if it's got any better.

Why 2-2-3 instead of 1-1-1? I didn't mean to be rude, but it was just a question.

 

[eran0004]

Why 2-2-3 instead of 1-1-1? I didn't mean to be rude, but it was just a question.

Because I like the track

And 1-1-1 would be less than 10 minutes per race, which is shorter than what we usually do.

 

[Flaco13]

The more the better.

 

[Manasseh257NSX]

@Sick Cylinder I cannot race this weekend. My job has me coming in at 9:45 a.m. (They never call me in on Sundayd..)

 

[Sick Cylinder]

@Sick Cylinder I cannot race this weekend. My job has me coming in at 9:45 a.m. (They never call me in on Sundayd..)

Thanks for letting me know Manasseh. This means there will be spare slot on the grid for a reserve driver - it will go to the first to respond. If any other slots become available on race day I will message any reserve drivers who are online.

For attention of: @LexLathor (for Zmihalik), @Sutsagrd , @XK50 , @S_Bridge , @TonyLomas , @Cu3e

 

[eran0004]

I'll probably race tomorrow, but I'll be a little slow, will mostly be driving with one arm

 

[Harsk100]

Why with only one arm?

 

[IfAndOr]

Why with only one arm?

I think you'll find it's because of...

I hurt my shoulder today, I'll let you know tomorrow if it's got any better.

Unless of course it's some new handicap system that Sick has introduced.

 

[eran0004]

Why with only one arm?

I displaced my shoulder a couple of days ago, and now I can't find it.

Nah, I really did displace it, but only for a couple of seconds before it slipped back. I don't want to stress it too much, though, so I'll do the steering with the other arm.

 

[TonyLomas]

Hi Sick, any chance I can take that reserve slot at the back of the grid this week?

It'll be good to see you Tony, it's been awhile. 👍

Sounds painful though. Perhaps reducing the force feedback effects might help until it mends fully.

Yes Tony - that would be great.

That's sad to hear. Get well soon!

Guys - I am having PS3 problems - please run race 3 without me!

bad news. I'll send you the results.

 

[LexLathor]

long track + full room = wrong combo
no quali, because I was lamer.

 

[bloodyboyblue]

My connection couldn't handle all that obviously because everyone's car was pretty jumpy for me and I'm sure for others as well, got better as the race went on and everyone spread out though. Mine and lex's cars never seemed to be in sync right, we hit each other a whole bunch of times, and a few times his car looked as if I hit him even though I was like 20 feet behind. We caused that wreck at the start by his car jumpily drifting in front of mine when I was against the pit wall and I had nowhere to go and we got stuck together. I'm sure on his screen he was way clear of me.

 

[Harsk100]

It was a good race for me.

Race 1: I was 2nd on the class and 5th overall. Then, I see @bloodyboyblue spinning out. I had an amazing fight with SimbaLora and @IfAndOr . I could have been 4th if I hadn't braked too late in a corner, which has overshot me into the sand. But I still have won the class and 5th overall.

Race 2: I started very well, but in 2nd corner, @bloodyboyblue overtook me. Still not bad, as I improved 2 positions comparing to the previous race and 2nd on the class whose @bloodyboyblue had 3rd overall and 1st on the class!

I also had an amazing fight with Eran0004.

Race 3: This race was marked by several connection issues and Sick has got PS3 problems before Race 3 has started. I was 1st on the qualify, but Siggers has overtook me on the last minute, therefore, I have decided to stick with a class win.

In the beginning of the race, @bloodyboyblue has lagged out which caused damage to the most of us, but because I was in front of the field, then I had no damage at all. But then, Lex has said to restart the race which has eliminated my chances to win the Race 3!!!

Well, nevermind: We have started the race 2 again and before the first corner, I saw a lag behind me which caused damage to most of us. I was 2nd behind Siggers and Eran was 3rd.

In the 2nd lap, I have done a braking late which caused my car to hit the wall, but fortunately, I managed to rejoin the track very quickly, as Eran was far away from me. I finished 2nd overall and first on the GT40 class.

Thanks for @eran0004 and @LexLathor for helping me on being a better driver.
