gt5-prologue-walkthroughWith the quickly falling price of GT5 Prologue continuing to drive sales of the little game, many folks who have been holding off are finally picking it up.  Despite its small size, however, it still manages in-depth gameplay – the intricacies of which can be daunting for even experienced players.  To help out, GTPlanet user Conquerer put together this impressive, comprehensive walkthrough that leaves no stone unturned.

Starting out with a large FAQ section, Conquerer’s guide takes you through gameplay modes, detailed specifications on each car, techniques on how to win each race event, car tuning tips, and much more.  This is a really awesome compendium of knowledge, and it’s far more useful than anything you can pick up off the shelf at your local bookstore.  Best of all, he’s providing this information to the online Gran Turismo community free of charge, and you can download it right here on GTPlanet.  This takes a massive amount of work – please be sure to leave him a note of thanks on his profile page or in the comments below to acknowledge his efforts.  Well done!

    Awesome!
    say, i’m pretty basic, so forgive me if this sound’s silly; how do I download this .txt properly? I keep getting jumbled up words when I d/l it by right clicking and saving… :p

    there was a question about the GT-R black mask in which the response was wrong. You can acquire it by place top 3 in all classes which unlocks the s class. when you place top 3 in all the s class races you win the gt-r black mask. i believe this was how i got it correct me if im wrong

    “a bold effort, but ultimately, mostly plagerised from other racing guides.”

    Learn what you’re talking about before claiming plagiarism. The entire guide is original content written by myself with nothing taken from “other racing guides.” Your trolling and ignorance isn’t needed.

  4. Maggor

    Great job… I’ve made many guides by myself and I have to admit, that it is i pretty big time eater. So i appreciate this. THX

    Why bother converting a text document to PDF, will that magically turn it into full colour with images? Er, no. Again, a bold effort, but ultimately, mostly plagerised from other racing guides.

    marky5244, that description is straight out of the game’s tuning menu. And thanks for the comments, everyone. I wanted to make a guide for GT4 when it came out but never got that far. Thought I’d try one for GT5P since GT5 is still in the distance, and it was a fun guide to make which really didn’t take that long either.

  11. Psychotic

    You’re lucky, guys. In our country GT:P’s price will never drop under 30$ (it’s the miminum price for PS3 games here) and I’m not wasting that kind of money on that.

    That’s a really good document. Thank you. However, I would question the description of ABS – is this really correct?

    “Adjusts how your ABS (Active Braking System) responds by deciding how much
    tire grip is used to aid stopping, and how much is used to help you when
    cornering. The higher the value, the better your grip while cornering, but
    the lower your grip when stopping. Please note that this value will not
    change the actual amount of grip of the tires you are using.”

    This is just massive!
    Great thanks and congratulations!
    I can’t imagine how much time has slept into this!

As you may recall, today (June 30, 2011) was supposedly the last for GT5 Prologue’s online services. For unknown and unexplained reasons, Polyphony Digital has announced the service’s end-of-life has now been delayed (yes, there’s a lot of jokes to be made there) to September 30, 2011.

Secret Menu Reveals More Tracks in GT5 Prologue

Jordan Greer · · 74 Comments
Just when you thought you’d explored every nook and cranny of GT5 Prologue and finally laid the game to rest, it’s back from the dead with one more surprise up its sleeve: a super-secret “Special” menu. As revealed by @Mathieulh on Twitter, the Special menu gives you access to lots of hidden features. Notably, it shows several more tracks in the game such as the Nurburgring Nordschleife, Circuit de la Sarthe, and Tsukuba (though they can’t actually be selected). You can make all the cars available, create a race and specify the make and model of each of your opponents, tinker with visible menu options, and more.

US Gov. Builds “Green Racing” Features into GT5 Prologue

Jordan Greer · · 95 Comments
Programmers from the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the Society of Automotive Engineers have found an interesting way to build “green racing” features on top of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. Apparently, the system works by sitting between the steering wheel and the PlayStation 3, watching and recording controller inputs.

Jordan Greer · · 79 Comments
GTPlanet user Calcifer has been hard at work developing a unique application for the iPhone/iPod Touch and Android platforms: it lets you view the latest top 100 times posted to the GT5 Prologue in-game leader boards! This provides a quick way to check rankings without having to shuffle through Prologue’s menus, or just look at the status of your own hot laps regardless of where you are. The app is available for free on both the iTunes App Store (direct link here) and the Android Marketplace (QR code available here) – or just search the applications for “gran turismo” and you should find it quickly on either platform.

Could Gran Turismo’s Future be in ‘3D’?

Jordan Greer · · 31 Comments
According to a report by VideoGamesZone.de, Gran Turismo 5* is at Berlin’s IFA trade show…in 3D. The news comes off Sony’s press conference at the show, focusing on their consumer electronics products. The theme of IFA seems to echo what all the big players first started promoting at CES last January: 3D movies and games.

GT5 Prologue’s Motion Simulator at GamesCom

Jordan Greer · · 29 Comments
If you’ve seen lots of pictures and videos from the show floor at last week’s GamesCom convention, you probably noticed this full-size, Audi TT motion simulator running what appears to be a special version of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.  While this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a motion simulator hooked up to a copy of GT (indeed, this same Audi was brought to the Leipzig Games Convention last year), you can only imagine how badly manufactures of consumer-grade “motion seats” would love to interface their own products with future GT titles…

GT5 Prologue Sells Nearly 4 Million Copies

Jordan Greer · · 40 Comments
As you may know, Polyphony Digital publishes the sales figures of each Gran Turismo game on their website, and they just updated the numbers for Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.  In the last four months (going by the numbers from May), the game has sold approximately 700,000 copies, bringing the total to nearly 4,000,000.  No doubt, the Greatest Hits price drop helped drive retail sales, despite the fact that prices // continue to fall on eBay.  Regardless, this is an impressive milestone for a “small” game – and one which will, no doubt, pour fuel on the the fire of the endless GT / Forza debate…

Nelson Piquet Jr. & Fernando Alonso Play GT5 Prologue

Jordan Greer · · 41 Comments
It’s always kind of interesting to find out that a celebrity shares your hobby for sim racing – especially when that celebrity competes in the highest level of international motorsport!  Renault Formula 1 driver Nelson Piquet, Jr. gave lots of Gran Turismo fans something to smile about when he recently posted the above picture to Twitter from what appears to be his apartment in Monaco.  As you can see, he’s at Suzuka East with the “racing line” enabled – needless to say, that’s something that’s earned him some friedly jibes in our forums!  Regardless, Nelson embraces the web, and communicates frequently via Twitter about everything he’s doing – it’s worth following him at @NelsonPiquet_ (you can follow @GTPlanetNews, too!).
