Gran Turismo 5

[mazur]

I'm down. Haven't played GT4 in forever. Been playing GT5P. But I will hook the old PS2 up again, for some fun. Been wanting to drive the 'Ring again anyway.

So what car do you want to get your ass kicked in? And whatever car it is, should it be fully modified? You know, so there's no way you can be cheating

I'll throw out the DTM Mercedes as a suggestion. Fun car to drive on the ring.

What kind of car do you run?

Limit it to street cars, or are race cars open?

Don't matter, we just pick whatever random car and fly with it. So what's it going to be? Maybe I'll make a separate thread so others can join in and post times, as long as both of you are game.

LOL! Have to get a cable to hook my PS2 up to my new monitor. Once I get that, I am down. My choices, off the top of my head, are fully modified Miata, or 787B. Been over a year since I played 4, and I am sure I will feel the most comfortable in those. Not sure I will be able to crack the 5 min mark in the 787B again, but we can try. ;)

My PS3 is on. Supposedly I should be able to download the demo from 11AM this morning...

[SpyHunter]

Was wondering that. I fired mine up this morning to try and get it before I went to work, but couldn't find it.

To me the physics on prologue were horrible!!! I hope the new one doesnt have any of the same physics.

I agree that the physics weren't good. The part that got me the most is how sensitive some cars were to weight transfer...just keep spinning out. Especially with the Lotus!

We need to convince them to change our shitty Indy 500 prize in the US...

I know! WTF...I wonder what the technicalities are on that.

Can't seem to find the demo either. =\

it will be plastered all over the front of the PSN store when it is released. they usually update the store in the afternoon.

I spent the afternoon playing the Academy on the Indy track. Boring track, and very lame Nissan. Car has a very strange response to weight transfers and "left thumb braking". ;)
