*Official* Gran Turismo 5 Thread - One thread to rule them all

[Tristicus]

A lot of your posts make no sense, might I recommend running them by someone else before posting.

Yessir Sergent Blops.

Yessir Sergent Blops.

Prime example it's "Yes[SPACE]sir Serge[a]nt Blops" again I recommend you run these by someone else, unless english isn't your first language, in which case I withdraw my suggestions.

Yessir, as you wish Sergeant Blops. But see, you also forgot a period there, and that obviously means you're probably just barely functional.


Anyways, back to the talk about Gran Turismo....

How does the random track generator work?

One last question, what does. "k, go have fun with "teh blooops" " mean?

Edit: What's a period in this context?

I'm not buying GT5 on principle, this "Launch title" doesn't deserve my money.

Sarcasm fail.

I'm debating whether I should pre-order or wait for the reviews.

I've seen a couple of videos of it in action. You basically start out by picking a "theme" for your track, which will determine the scenery and track type you race on. You then pick how many segments you want, which will determine the track length. Then you can adjust the complexity and track width of each segment.

After it generates your track, you can save and share it with others. From what I've seen though, the tracks are pretty barren and I'm not too optimistic on how useful the track generator will be. Hopefully I've just seen a couple of bad examples and it turns out to be better. At the very least, it gives a lot of re-playability after the game has been out for quite a while.

I bought a tv also yesterday in anticipation for GT5. Can't wait.

 

[Tristicus]

The more it is talked about the more I want it. That track idea sounds cool if you get bored with the included ones peritusONE. Nice to at least have it in the game.

Amazon is saying it could take nearly three weeks to ship if you pre-order now. That's with their free shipping though. Still, there must be a hella high demand for GT5.

I wonder if the local Gamestop will have them available before then.

You didn't pre-order the game?

I have now.

Went through Gamestop's website. They'll ship is sooner than Amazon was going to.

Sales are going to/are huge. I think anyone with a PS3 will buy a copy.
After all the times I made fun of GT5 not being around, I finally get to enjoy this bigger than life game. Its going to be ridiculous for you PS3 guys that are driving fans. I hope you guys are in heaven.

Do you guy's think this game will be that good, it's making me reconsider. The graphics look impressive, which is the only thing making me like it at the moment.

For me I want a driving game that makes me feel like a great driver with minimal effort, so I can have a quick drive around with a fast car maybe split screen with my friends, then go back to what I was doing, without having to commit hours completing career mode to buy the cars and spec them up. Is this the game for me?

I think GT5 is going to be amazing, and no, it doesn't sound like it's going to be for you. It is simulation racing, so you're not just going to be taking quick laps around in fast cars just to have fun. There is an arcade mode that would satisfy the quick racer in you, but sim racing isn't something you just pick up and play without putting some time into it.

i have a ps3 and will not be purchasing this game, and i bought a ps3 when they first came out and gt5 was never a game i intended to buy.

sim racers are just boring to me.

that said i just saw the GT5 commercial during the colts/pats game and it is pretty LOL. love the sony marketing department.

OK that's cool, thanks, I was wondering if maybe the whole Go-Kart thing might be my kind of thing?

Alot of your comments make little to no sense.

I don't think it's enough of a focus to consider spending $60 for. From what I understand, it's more of a "bullet point" for the box than anything substantial.

Yup, sounds like the new Need for Speed might be better for him.

 

[Sadaiyappan]

I have a special plan. I plan on getting my copy from Meijer (a grocery store), they actually have a section of PS3 games. And I'm guessing that NO one will go there on black friday, so I should be able to get a copy.

hmm ok Cool, I wouldn't spend $60 on it anyway, i'd have to get it for less.

It appears that head tracking only works in arcade mode and not in GT Life mode. Weird.

Still think its a useless feature unless I was running a 3 monitor setup..
