Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, Out this week in Japan, and guess what.......... Options

[manphibian]

It's got DAMAGE MODELLING!!!!

according to this and a few other sources:

http://www.psu.com/Gran-Turismo-5--Prologu...a0002132-p0.php

There are no pictures of it, and it's released in Japan in 3 days so i'm a little sceptical, but it looks promising

I really think i'm gonna have to import this now, especially as it's not due for EU/US release till well into next year.

If anyone in Japan gets it, let me know if has damage

[shin]

is this game already out? if it is i should be able to get my hands on em.

It's out 13th Dec in Japan, easy to download if you have a Japanese address and credit card

This is the retail version, not the free one that was up there a while back.

[shin]

so this game is only available for download but not sold in japan as a disc?

Yep, there is a disc version too. It's just cheaper if you can download from Jap store.

There are loads for sale on Ebay.

[manphibian]

Crapsters, the review has been edited, looks like the damage has been pulled for now

ah well, just spotted they've added a London Track, pretty special :drool:

cant wait put off buying a PS3 until it comes out, racing games and blu-ray dvd player are the only real reason for buying a PS3, FPS are crap with a joystick.

I thought that, but i'm totally used to it now, you get almost a quick as keyboard/mouse eventually.

COD4 rocks on PS3

LOL Oh man i spaced out for a second and thought there was a game out called "Cash On Delivery 4"... Im in desperate need of some starbucks

[Kadett]

Dont own a PS3, but a colleague of mine does and had some network problems. So I went there to fix it and played some GT5 HD (first demo). Ofcourse with the ST205 WRC He said that he couldn't drive the ST205 and only got bad laptimes. I did 2 runs and got a nice 1:15 or something. Good enough to make him stare at the TV for 30 seconds.


Gonna get a PS3 when GT5 Prologue gets out here. Along with a nice HDTV. So I still have a year to save up

i'm kinda disapointed by it, i was hoping it will have more cars, more tracks, car damage, and support the logitech g25 steering wheel.

[shin]

bought the disc version yesterday and it's just awesome. graphics are breath taking and game play is just as good as it's always been. in car view is a very good addition and track previews are like watching travel channel HD. but i gotta ask, we can't tune the cars yet right? or is it that i haven't unlock it yet? and how does online play works...

[shin]

so wat's the deal now? nobody's playin this awesome game other than me and manphibian? so i haven't progress much, own a suzuki swift, integra type R, the new wrx sti and R35 GTR. the R35 sounds mean and it's quick. easier to go sideways and still controllable imo. manphibian, since you're playing, know how we're able to do a online race?

Still waiting for mine to arrive

Damn Christmas Post If i'd have thought of it quicker i would have bought a Jap PS Store credit card off ebay then downloaded straight from the store.

[shin]

ya gotta get connections man. call up your local game store and get them order it for u. ya missing out on all the fun man. the demo's nuthin compare the the prologue

[Aus]

so whats the procedure if you have a uk ps3?...do jap games work??

[tim86]

yo shin, so it is a must to get the disc or will the downloadable version be the same? Ive seen the japanese copies on ebay, and I was thinkin about getting that bc it says its the same... what do you think?

[manphibian]

so whats the procedure if you have a uk ps3?...do jap games work??

Yep, games from all regions work fine (i have a Hong Kong PS3)

Obviously it's all in Japanese, but no way i'm waiting till March when it comes out in UK!

[shin]

i have the US version PS3 and the jap disc version works fine. the download version is the same but only problem is it might take a while to download since it's a HUGE file.. and manphibian, ya know ya can't resist the temptation, BUY IT NOW!

EDIT LOL:

I'll sell my disc version when it turns up.

no it really depends on your connection speed...i've done it at my house in about 20 minutes. i did it at my friend's house with dsl and it took 40 to an hour. i have the japanese version downloaded and its sweet

It's really not that much of a problem, a lot of the icons have English under them, but it's really straightforward to use, there's not a lot of reading you need to do.

I will probably have a copy for sale when it arrives if you want it

[tim86]

^ ill take it But yea, i really do need to get this game soon

[shin]

awesome. now we all just gotta figure the online play thing... and Aus, it's pretty straight forward...if ya played GT4, the menus are pretty similar so it shouldn't be a problem.

[manphibian]

Ok just got it now

Apparently the Online mode is available for (free) download on Dec 25th from Jap PS3 store, along with some other stuff, so i'm off to get some practice in

[Aus]

Thanks for the info guys...might be getting it very soon...

[shin]

do u have to download from ps3 store or maybe it'll just upload automatically from the disc if you're connected to the internet? cause from wat i read on gamespot.com it says that menus are different when you're online or offline. but anyway, for those of u when have the game, post your best times. for london track, and fujispeed way

[manphibian]

Has anyone managed to win the last race in class B yet? 6 laps of Daytona in an Audi R8. Man that is hard. I keep tagging the slow cars, best i have done so far is 3rd


EDIT: Just got 2nd, 4.8 seconds back. Don't think i can go much faster.

Just about to start Class A, not sure what car to get next, maybe an M5. Although i guess i should get something quicker than my R8.

This game rocks.

GT5 goes ONLINE!!!!!! it's sweet, takes alil while to update but it's all good. online racing is exciting, but figured my GTR ain't faster than Ferrari lol.. after updating, there's features like online and ranking. go update and lets race!

[Daftboy]

Man....i wish I had PS3....=[

[manphibian]

OK, finally downloaded the update, man that was slow.

Haven't tried online yet, will try it tomorrow, is there an option to invite friends so we can get it on?

[shin]

i dunno bout that since it's all in jap..... but i'm guessin that we could join together on the available races... and not like NFS where you can create your own room and invite people in to race.

[manphibian]

This game is awesomeness.

If you see me on, i'll most likely be in the 2nd race down, in my R34

[shin]

wat track is 2nd race down? london? i might be on tonite bout 11pm my time.

[manphibian]

Errr, Suzuka i think, the one where you can enter with Evo 9, 10, WRX, R34, etc.

[shin]

ooo.. i think that's the one where my R35 can't enter.... guess i'll have to buy a R34 to keep up with u lol. or i could try out my EVO X or WRX on it 1st.

R34, Evo X and WRX are all pretty even.

Just checked time zones, 11pm there is 4am here, so unless i really can't sleep i think i'm gonna miss ya

[shin]

aiite. so we gotta compromise lol. lets set a time where we could both be on.

[manphibian]

hmm, well i'm pretty free for the next week.

Your time (EST right?) i could play between 5am and about 7pm, maybe 8pm (which is 10am-midnight/1am my time) probably not much good if you're working

There are loads of different races on there today btw...

[manphibian]

i'm still a little shaken up as i type this....

I took my new M3 for it's first spin and.....

[shin]

lol nice flip and 360s. so they updated again but other than more races in online mode wat else was updated?

[urbandork]

you can download from ps3...japan version...easy to do. the game looks very very nice!

i have a friend who has done this and on his huge @$$ tv it looks super amazing
