Will you transfer your GT5 Prologue or GT PSP Data to GT5?

[Sprite]

Niether for me, I have never seen the point of doing this. I like to start a fresh with every new GT game. It's like walkthrough's and save files.

 

[Cimanu]

I thought that only the GTPSP garage will transfer, not GT5P. Further, GTPSP has an export garage function whereas GT5P does not. I am guessing that having a GT5P game save will give you similar to GT4P ie a fixed amount of credits and maybe a bronze license or two. So you get your cars from GTPSP and some credits from GT5P.

mm, I remeber hearing it confirmed that both gtpsp data and gt5p would be transferrable. I may be mistaken but I do hope that's the case >_>.

Whilst most of GT fanatics ( like me ) prefer a whole new start, I must admit that I don't have time to grind for money to buy all the cars, so I'm going to transfer my GT5P garage just to test some supercars. But I'm definetely going to buy that '85 Supra, and GTS-T-Type R32 as always.

I usually start with a vtec box but 32 always :]

I was just re-reading some old Playstation.Blog stuff and the moderator for Playstation responded to that question in the affirmative; both PSP and 5p would transfer.

May have to rethink my 'scratch-start' position. 💡


Edit: As I was very much NOT born with a silver spoon in my mouth in the real world.....In the virtual world I may have options...

I'll post it when I find it again.

 

[chromatic9]

No way am I transferring cars or credits. I'll savour every moment.

 

[albteman015]

I probably wont be doing it. I feel that you are a better player if you start the game from scratch. What i mean by that is simple. Not transferring forces you to use some of the slower cars in the game and skill will be eventually gained for you to feel comfortable with those cars. As you further progress in the game you will start to use faster cars BUT you will have the skill to handle them properly. If you just jump into it with a fast car it will take you longer to develop as a driver. Im saying this from experience because i did the transfer in gt4 and i noticed that it took me longer to really master the game than it did with the previous gt games.

End / rant.

??? All I got with GT3 to GT4 was a couple of licenses and 10k??? Don't remember any cars coming with me. Maybe they did. That was many brain cells ago...

 

[Veprman]

No, I consider it cheating. As I don't have to work my way up with the cheap cars.

you got 100000 cr. which was more than enough to get a brand new r34 and still do some mods to it that's what i meant by it.

Haha, same here, although I probably will start from scratch ( because that's part of the GT-experience for me ) but I'll agree there's a limit to how much real-life needs to be simulated ( aka my real life ) as the charm of the virtual world is often that it isn't real in terms of economics....

 

[FishforRent]

Point taken. I thought it was less $$$. Went back and looked at my GT4 Diary and my first car was the new (back then) GTO; Couldn't have gotten that for 10k.

Still on the fence about the scratch-start. 'Probably' will not transfer (if we still can). It was a Playstation.Blog moderator from '09; not sure she would know things accurately or that they would still apply now.

I agree with analog^; I'll prolly start poor like real life.

 

[qtgt5fan]

The only thing i will bring over is my copen and cr5000.

 

[mani_23]

Either way, pd should just put in an option to transfer the cars when ever you want, through settings, so once people finish the game (or go pretty far) they can tranfer the rest over (nobody wants to do thousands of races to obtain all 1000 of the cars ( or atleast 900 once you end up beating the game), il be very happy if it did happen. I would try focusing getting the last 20 cars I'm missing gt5 prologue..

I would do it I did it in gt4 why not in gt5. Yes I know I'm loser

 

[eSZee]

I'm transferring over everything they allow me. I spent all this time on gt5p and I'm planning to use it as an advantage in GT5. GT games have always been car collecting games first and racing games 2nd to me.
Plus, my wait for gt5 didn't start til 5 months ago so I haven't been waiting 5 years like the rest of you.

 

[SavageEvil]

I'm transferring everything I possibly can, why? I spent copious amounts of time on both the other games and if the option to carry my hard earned money and achievements over to the next game is there I'm taking full advantage of it. GT5 is going to be a pretty long game, based on previous full GT games. I'm 31 and I don't have the luxury of time like I did as a young kid, besides I want to spend as much time racing online against GTPer's anyway and I can't do that if I'm busting a sweat trying to race around in some econbox on La Sarthe. To each his own, but I will see you guys online when this game hits, DAY ONE!

 

[lpcjr]

I want to play gt5 from the ground up, so will not transfer anything from gt5p. I do not have a psp so that's out also. I just think i will enjoy the over all experience of building my racing stable and cash from scratch much more than if i did transfer anything from gt5p.

Here's my take on things.

Even though you may have ploughed countless hours into GT5P and GTPSP, and earned loads of cars and lots of cash, to me those are totally different games. Chances are, the equivalent cars from GT5P will end up slightly different in looks, handling, and sound anyway. Certainly those from GTPSP will be (one would hope!)

So, given that it is essentially a new game, and the fun of the career mode is working your way up towards the better cars, why bother transferring? Let's say you transfer for arcade purposes only. Great, so day 1 you go racing around a given track in the Veyron, Enzo, Gallardo or whatever. Straight away there is no anticipation for those cars anymore. Each unto their own I guess, but for me there is only one way to start GT5, and that's from scratch.

I wonder if people would be swayed from transferring stuff if you were penalised in terms of trophies?! For example, you would be unable to get the 100% complete, platinum trophy if you did so. If I were so inclined, it would not bother me at all as I'm no trophy whore, but I know there are breeds out there that feed on the damn things!

I don't like hat this is again turning into a "my way is the right way". You're trying to enforce your views of the game and tell others doing it any other way is somehow wrong. If you're not, you're still just arguing the views of others, that's all your post is about. Your disagreeance with the way others are going to proceed with the game.
GT5P to me is not just another game. It's GT5: the early stages.
As for trophies, other will agree, that they are about as pointless as anything PS3 related.
As for the cars, if the game sees that you own the gt5p equivalent of a gt5 car, then it will place that gt5 car in your garage. I don't see anything wrong with that. It's not like you're taking a car from gt5p and pasting it straight into gt5.

Had a bad day or something, or have they just introduced a new rule around here that says you are no longer allowed to state your opinion, even with rational reasoning?

It's no more a "my way is the right way" post than either yours or SavageEvil's. I'm just expressing how I see it as taking way some of the shine and anticipation within the game by doing so. By all means do whatever you want with the game - it's your time and money you are investing after all.

Of course different people will do different things for different reasons, but me "not getting it" isn't me saying that you are all wrong.

You've stated your opinion in this thread before. You reply came after a few people, myself included, said what they would do and it pointed out those things and why you thought they weren't right.

i agree with you and as i said in my other post i did transfer when i got gt4. You are right even though that transfer wasn't much it ruined that sort of majestic feeling that I usually get from gt with having to work hard in the beginning.

I like that feeling of not really knowing what to do when I start games even though it is gt and I'm familiar with it. And come on guys stop arguing, it's just an opinion.

 

[TokyoDrift]

So what?! Has another rule been introduced that forbids you from posting more than once in the same thread?

Whatever you might think, not everybody reads through every thread from beginning to end, so posting more than once potentially catches those just casually browsing, and balances out the "pros and cons". Besides, in my previous posts I never really gave much reason why I wouldn't do so.

So I, "pointed out those things and why I thought they weren't right." eh? What things? We are talking about one thing here - transferring or not transferring. You gave your opinions/reasons why you will, so I gave my opinions/reasons why I will not. If you choose to be threatened by that, assuming it is me telling you that you are wrong, that's your prerogative. If I wanted to tell you that I thought you were wrong, I'd have just said so.

 

[maxpontiac]

I was 100% positive I was going to. But now that I think about it, I am not. Half of what Gran Turismo is to me, is the journey of getting there.

Starting out with all these cars just might make the experience alittle less fulfilling.

 

[Turbo-Kai]

NO!
reason: it is less challenging! and it is a much better feeling when you spend hard earned money for tuning etc... like inreal life!
as usual I will not buy a car at the very beginning...I will try to win a few by getting the licences on gold...

 

[speedee911]

Why the hell not? I'm not a gaming nerd.. I'm going to play the game FOR THE CARS/DRIVING/RACING.. And nothing else.. I've been in love with cars since i was 4-5 years old, they're my passion. I could care less about Sony, Polyphony, Kazunori, a game, etc. And if I find a gamesave online with all the cars in the game unlocked, I sure as heck will use it (like I did in prologue). Just like I've hacked Modern Warfare 2 for the 10th prestige.. I'm not gonna waste 2 months/1000+ hours of my life to get there, playing stupid video games. But I still wanna enjoy it, from time to time.

While I think you are being a bit contradictory by saying you think video games are stupid, yet here you are, on a gaming forum saying you will play the game, I also have no problem with that approach. Either start from scratch or do as you say and obtain a 100% save with all cars, gold licences and loads of cash for upgrades.

I'm no gaming nerd either, but as I've said before, I'll be starting out from scratch because I want to experience the fun and anticipation of working my way through, possibly nabbing a few trophies along the way. Eventually though, I'll hit a brick wall in a case of diminishing returns where I've experienced all of the tracks and the cars I am most interested in. I did with GT4, and at that point I'll probably do the same again and switch to using a game save.

The save I used for GT4 had all gold licences, no cars, but loads of cash. That way you could play through the career mode, but have no limitations on the cars and their upgrades. It also meant you could buy the cars in the colours you wanted.

What kind of game save I'll use and when with GT5 remains to be seen, but I am looking forward to the challenge of starting from scratch and earning my first Veyron!

 

[Conquerer]

At this point I'm thinking I'm going to transfer my Prologue cars but I'm not going to touch them until I'm at least a good bit into the game, if not finished career mode. If I need an F430 I'm still going to buy a brand new F430 even though I already have a few. I went through the trouble of playing Prologue so much and acquiring all the cars, multiples of some in different colours, so I want to have those at some point, whether or not they're just sitting there doing nothing until I get there.

I don't want to use them early on since it will ruin the starting from scratch feeling and the anticipation of slowly moving up the food chain with better cars. I want my cars so when I'm done the game I still have them and can use them. If I haven't boughten a black F430 throughout the entire game then I will have one if I want to drive one for a change instead of the red one I did buy. And also if I want to experiment with some tuning or different setups and appearances and other related things I can do this with the same models I already own. Instead of buying another brand new one I can just use the one(s) I already have.

I just feel that I've earned those cars so I should have a right to them. I have a right to chose when to use them as well and I will utilize that. If you're allowed the option to transfer your cars at any point then I won't bother until I'm done. But if there's that one time only option at the beginning I'm going to do it instead of regretting it later on. They may be in my garage but I'm not going to use them for the time being. I went through all those hours of Prologue playing the same tracks over and over again to buy these cars so I'm going to keep them when I move on to GT5. And if I'm running out of space in my garage after I'm done the game, I can sell anything I don't want and also acquire some extra credits to buy some of the more expensive cars if I want.

 

[scope72]

When I first heard that we could do this, pride kicked in, and I said, "no way". However, I have a room mate who isn't as serious about the game and a few friends that always come over to play. So, I think I will transfer all cars and money to the "general" psn account, but leave the gtp_scope72 account "untainted".

Plus, it will be great to be able to grab a car that I like to drive, pick a track, and go. I love doing this on GTPSP (even have an excel file that randomizes it for me), so I will definitely want to do this with the g27.
