Re: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

I will do it and get a MOD to sticky it if allowed.

-Edit-

Further update: Download of GT5:P Update failed at 90%. The Update servers are being totally hammered. Perseverance is the key here I think.

Also, I've read on various forums that the "Beyond The Apex" video which is meant to be on the disc is not actually on it!!!

Re: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

Some of the events are quite tricky. I would recommend using medium traction control or cmpletely tuning it off on relatively easy courses (Daytona) and using lots of traction control on the slightly difficult courses (Suzuka). Use driving line for the first few races.

Might be wise to start a seperate thread regarding hints & tips?

I seen your name pop up on screen to let me know you signed in.

The only other issue I have found regarding this game, is changing the date & time settings within GT5. May be another update will fix this.

Enjoy!

Re: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

Europeans have additional features, than the Japanese/US version:

From my original post:

Drift Mode
– The player’s drifting technique is measured based on drift angles, racing lines, and speeds within evaluation zones located at various turns on the course.

In Depth Car Tuning
– Players have the ability to adjust the vehicle’s performance, including power, tyres, suspension and the ability for quick tuning whilst racing.

Two-player Split Screen Racing
– Allows players to race head-to-head offline.

New Race Events
– Online racing fans can join in on a new set of scheduled events and time trials.

As well as more cars to toy around with!

-Update-

40 Minutes gone and about 3/4 of the way through downloading the update. Patience is the key here. Remember some other European countries got theirs yesterday on official release and they will be hammering the Sony servers like no tomorrow, so bandwidth is going to be maxed out for a wee while. I think Sony may offer more servers for future updates, following updates to the PSN & Store which are due this afternoon.

I could recommend playing the game and downloading the update maybe in the wee small hours of the morning. Having said that, if GT5:P is released on the store today then the update servers may still be maxed. I guess patience is the key here.

@STONEISLAND - PS Store updates take place every Thrusday so it may be there today, but they may not make the download active until midnight tonight. As soon as I hear anything, I will be sure to post here to let you know.
finally arrived at some point between that post and 2pm and no one told me!

around 35minutes since i put the disk and i'm just starting the gt5p update after installing it to the hd and updating ps3 to 2.20

Re: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

The game is 6GB when installed to the HDD. I was about 98% done on the update on my 5-6 try and the servers went down for maintenence lol just my luck.

As for the game itself its just amazing. I cant think of anything else to say. Its everybit as good as I was expecting infact I would go as far as saying its surpassed my expectations. To think that this is only a taster of the full game is mind blowing. The cars are beautifully rendered and the tracks look superb. Gotta say its hard being away from it . . . . . . ok am off for another game lol

That Honda Integra is brilliant for the Class C races. I went with the Mazda Atenza first which was not bad and got me through the first races well but once I picked up the Honda everything just got alot easier. I went for looks at first lol There both nice looking cars to. Gotta save up for the Audi R8 or a Austin-Martin DB9 ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ! lol Beautiful Cars.

Re: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

Yeah I got the Atenza first, good cheap we car that leaves you with plenty of credits left over. Bought a Swift SSport, Suzuki Cappucino and I am now doing a few races to get the Alfa T1. Only need to finish 2 more races on Class C then I can move on.

Need that Cappucino to move it's backside and beat a lap time of 1m 39secs to win Gold. Grabbed Silver with it, but it understeers like a don't know what!

After the Alfa, I am getting the Integra.

I cant believe a demo gets so much hype (enough for people to actually pay for it )

Re: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

I got the Update now finally.

Cerberus Did you sort out the time problem with it ? If not this is what I did might help you or anyone else stuck with it.

The games goes off your system time setting so go to your time setting's and just click update via internet and it will update your time. You should turn your daylight saving to standard to first. Mine works fine now since doing that.

Hope it made sense lol.
