GT5: anyone get it?

If you want some realism, turn that shit off.

I've been doing that forever...I don't think my galant vr4 has Traction Control Settings and Active Stability Management (tcs and asm) settings in real life, if it did...that would be quite the awesome. lol.

Shane is my man. If you play the game with all of the assists on, like steering assist, skid control, traction etc etc, and then you complain about "rubbery" feel.. LOL If you want some realism, turn that shit off.
I did turn that off and I still don't like the feel of it. When suddenly lifting or hitting the brakes mid corner at 100mph the car is supposed to swap ends. Let me know when that happens in a console game and I'll give it more attention.

This was my biggest grip too, Matt. Hard to make the FF platforms rotate like they do in reality. LFB seemingly does nothing.

Not trying to rag on GT5 here too much, but this made me laugh.

That said, if you were looking for a single excuse to buy a new video game console and racing wheel and spend the entirety of this holiday season in pure gaming bliss, we're sorry to report that the long awaited Gran Turismo 5 isn't it.

Whoopsie...

LOL. I think it was just too long for this game to be released. hahah, everyone expected a game like forza. I do agree that the AI is prettty lame-sauce in GT5. As for the standard and premium cars, you can REALLY tell the difference, which does suck BUT would you wait another year or 2 for all 800 other standard cars to be released in premium? I don't know, I wouldn't. I'm pretty sure there are some small "bugs" that need to be cleaned up like loading times, ai intelligence, pixelated cars, etc.

To me, I think the game feels 75-80% finished. It's missing something but maybe that's because there is a 'level' thing now.

Oh, forgot about that... The shadows are all pixelated. WTF is that crap?!

ahhaha!! have you done a burnout? When you're doing a burnout full of smoke, your car goes back in time and gets at least a Sega Genesis remake for some odd reason. I saw this last night when my friend and I were racing. I spun out in the Pagani Zonda R, 1-2 burnout and BAM...I thought I was playing an 16 bit game

Hopefully the patches start fixing a lot of these issues.

I bought this saturday, I have played 15min, and its a lot harder then GT 1-4. I am thinking of picking up a good wheel and setting up a "simulator" with a race seat.

I'm also seriously thinking about getting or building me a wheel/seat setup. I should take a picture of how I'm playing it right now lmao. It's a joke how I'm playing it. BTW...just found out that you can't upgrade your brakes... *facepalm*
