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

[gtone339]

I will transfer both, but will start with a slow car.

 

[HenGTX]

I will not transfer my cars or money. I will enjoy searching for a good car for a small amount of money to start with and working my way up in GT Life.

Also a lot of cars that are in Prologue I would never buy in GT5 if I don't need them.

According to the article in PSM3 you can transfer your favorite 100 cars. I kinda like this better.

This does not sound like what everyone was talking about when they said cars transfered would only go to arcade mode.

To get a head start sounds like GT Life (career mode).

 

[DCP]

I only have GT5p, so there isn't more then 100 cars to transfer...:-)
I will definitely do the transfer coz I will want to view and enjoy the game with friends and family in arcade mode. I'm sure there will be a few other cars the game will have in arcade mode. I just hope there will be a few tracks. It also won't affect GT Life mode, which is like a bonus. A game of this magnitude must be started from scratch.

This doesn't make sense seeing as the favorite selection (in GTPSP) only lets you select 30 cars.
And from everything I've read transferring cars (from GTPSP and GT5P) will only concern the arcade mode, i.e. you can only use them in arcade mode.

I'm not against doing this as I'll be doing it, so my friends can play with a wide selection of cars against me in arcade mode.

Maybe it is possible that it is using that same feature, in the sense that it has the ability to "mark" cars as ones that you want to transfer. Not that it will just automatically transfer your favorites. If that makes sense.

I won't be transferring any data over. Want to start from scratch and get the most out of GT5.

In other words, mark 100 cars that you want in career mode, the other 700 cars, plus your favorites, will end up in arcade mode.

No, I won't transfer any data from Prolouge, I've been a GT fan scince GT1 and didn't transfer from GT3 to GT4 either. For me it takes from the experience and that desire/anxiety/obssesion to climb the ladder to get into faster and better cars.
I will definitely not transfer anything!

moving cars to career is heresy and a bleak portrayal of the need for instant gratification

Look, I not a big fan of watering down the game play, so I'm totally not gonna transfer over.

As much as you or I might like the traditional path through GT, not everybody does these days. So I can see the arguments for wanting the quicker access.

That said, the article does go against previous comments about other games only affecting the Arcade lineup. And as mentioned, PSP only favourites 30 cars. If anything affects GT Mode, I won't be doing it, but I'll probably be doing anything I can to open up cars in Arcade Mode right away.

I wonder if I can configure it so that I can import one car only, and no cash.

If so I would definitely import my beige Volvo 240 estate.

Surely it won't force you to do more than you want. 👍 But again, (for everybody) this is only transferring to Arcade Mode. Not GT Mode.

According to this, you will only be able to use transferred cars in Arcade mode, anyway:

Concerning Transfer from GT5P and GT for PSP to GT5:

Can We use our transferred cars only in Arcade mode or in Online mode as well?
-Arcade Mode only, sorry. In order to race a car in Online mode, you must earn the cars in GT5. A free tip, though, start with either the Silvia Q's or the Honda Civic Type R for best results.

If you can import one car only then I'll do that with a Veyron or GTbyCitroen. I don't mind only using Arcade for imports.

 

[Willbo87]

Sold Prologue and GT PSP to get a DFGT, then they knocked back the release date! Gutted!

 

[JM1681]

You know, it's been months since I answered this poll, and lately, I'm thinking I might not afterall.

Having to go through the license tests sucks, but they help introduce you to the new physics.

Call it the 86 complex; you'll only appreciate the better cars, once you've gotten good at driving the slower cars.

Doesn't matter anyway, it was confirmed transfered cars will only go to Arcade so you will still have to start Career mode (GT life) from scratch.

Not sure about the stealth and chromeline cars though.

Ah, my bad.

Good to know though, thanks

 

[SleazyBig slim]

Niether, I'm basicly treating GT5 like an MMO, I'm gona grind may way through it as I plan on playing it for a very long time, years. This is why I'm so stoked for online play, its gona add tramendous life to the game.

 

[z33_mike]

I will not take anything from gt5p. I plan on doing GT Career and online, so I will only use cars in my garage anyways.

That does suck!..good plan, just bad timing - hopefully not long to wait now.

 

[Starfirebird]

I'm not really sure yet.One side of my brain says yes and other says no.

Why you sell your GT games for a wheel anyway?

 

[sweatynumbthumb]

I am doing for the chance of racing the Ferrari F1 car at the likes of Le Mans and Monaco, etc.

 

[Aarron_M]

As it only transfers cars to Arcade mode, I'll be transferring what I can from GT5: P

 

[blue night]

With everything said and now that we all know that it's only going to arcade mode, I have to say I disagree with the lot of you guys opinions in and what GT mode should be.

You all want to start with a cheap car buy a better car buy a even better one etc etc, just like all the other ones. I don't think that should be done. Instead of working your butt off to get a pretty fast stock car or getting low amount of credits just so that it takes you a long time to get a Nissan GTR or an Audi R8. I dream of a GT where you work hard to get race cars, built and bred for the track. I want to see Gran Prix modes and other types of races. Not take your dads Civic down a track.

Those 70000 credit cars shouldn't be the end game nor take that long to get. The experience should be in the more professional ones.

 

[VW]

I'm going to try transferring prologue data onto my second account then see if i can sell all the cars, if i can ill do it on my main account sell all the cars then start with a really good car

I know people that think like you lol.
There would be no point of having any of the the slower cars if everyone thought the same.
You woud just drive the fastest ones all the time and 990 cars would seem unappealing afterwards to you and next to having no reason to exist.

IMO It would completely ruin the experience and detract away from the car ownership and racing realism which GT5 is trying to capture, at least in the beggining of the online mode.

I want the exact opposite of what you said.

I think you should be stuck with your first car for many hard days and races.

It should be a diffcult and costly thing to be able to build up and maintain lots of cars in the online mode, and at the start next to impossible, so you have no choice but to pick wisely or to have to sell your car if you want another one unless you do really good in the online races.

This way you can truly form a good bond (or hate) with your car and have to live with the postives or negatives of the choices you've made.
