GT5 Prologue

tpunx99GSX · 04-16-2008

So who went out and bought GT5 Prologue today. I know I DID. I went on my lunch, then went home and played a little. That game is FREAKIN sweet. I cant wait to go home and play some more tonight. The graphics are crazy. Played from the in car cam and for once i finally used the rear view and side mirrors! 10/10 worth every penny.
So who else got the game today, 16 player online is going to be nuts. we gotta get a DSMStyle race going sometime.

for x box 360? if it is i cant, Both my x box's are fried and microsoft wont do anything about it.

tpunx99GSX · 04-16-2008

Hell no, its only for the PS3. Its the forza killer for sure.
I see the 33% fail rate on the 360 is really hurtin you.
Fail Rate of PS3 = <1%
Fail Rate of 360 = 33%
Total Win for PS3.
Microsoft needs to stick to Operating systems.... maybe they just need to be buried.

this is off topic but write a one page letter to xbox and send it in for repair.... I had opened my 360 to try and fix it, then it died, and with a bunch of phone calls and a letter they sent me a brand new one with another1 year warranty!!!!

and i wanna play gt5!!!

My main question is can you upgrade more than just performance and wheels in GT5? Damage? It looks pretty nice, but it isn't really fun to me unless you have those factors.

33%!? wow thats crazy, i only know 1 out of 10 people i know that have them that have gotten fried, it was mine haha. microsoft sent out a new one asap though. 33% fail rate is a small risk for much better gaming

jking guys

Like body kits? This aint need for speed, Ricers not welcome! And why would you EVER put a body kit on a Ferrari.
Damage i think will be coming with the full GT5. But not sure.

So this is like a demo version then? How much does it cost?

AwdGSX13 · 04-16-2008

As far as im concerned i should have never switched from the sony gaming systems. The fact that ive had to purchase two now totally disturbs me. Microsoft FTL!

Your doing a whole lot of gaming now eh?

Reasons to go with PS3:
Blu Ray player
Media server player
More room for advanced games with the higher storage disks.
<1% fail rate means you have a good chance of actually being able to PLAY with the system.
Free Online gameplay.
GT5
Do i need to go on?

AwdGSX13 · 04-16-2008

hell no, way better gaming console, even for the price difference. Plus the price alone for having a blue ray player is a great deal.

They already had a demo version that was able to be downloaded, with 1 track and 10 cars.
Its a Pre-Game before the larger more robust game comes out. Its $40.
They will keep updating this game with new tracks, new cars and content up until the real GT5 comes out (right before xmas).
Its more to get your mouth wet and your pants.

I didn't think it was out yet, I don't know if I'm gonna buy it or not.

Its totally worth it! plus it will get you ready for the full release. Who knows maybe they will be nice and offer Upgrade pricing. (doubtful)

Cool, I will have to look into picking a copy up.

Does it have the physics of Forza though? I never played it, but when I watched Demos on Forza looks like they put A LOT of time into the physics engine. As in your car has wear to it in everyway like a real life car would.

Or is this game where you can just slam on the brakes and it has no effect to tire tread, tire heat, brake heat, etc?

tpunx99GSX · 04-16-2008

Knowing the folks that make Gran Turismo it will be just like real life. Currently they dont have performance parts upgrades but will be doing updates with new content very often. Check out this chat transcript with the games developers http://boardsus.playstation.com/play...d=20&jump=true its really informative as to where Prologue is going.
The reason they even have a prologue instead of releasing the game is to get the users input as to what they want to see, so its like a beta but better. It makes sure that the end result is going to be the most kick ass driving game you can find.
The GT-TV is going to be cool as well having the show Top Gear playing and such. I love that show.

INTRIGUED · 04-16-2008

Bought this on my lunch break today, Just loading it up right now. I could not get home fast enough! I have been rambling on and on to people at work. Probably looked like a dork but I have been waiting for this game for a long time. I'm so damn excited for this lol

turbotalon1g · 04-16-2008

Wow i really doubted this prologue thing but it sounds badass, also another reason for me to not keep on sucking at COD4

INTRIGUED · 04-16-2008

Yeah I couldn't even say when I'll put COD4 back in. I am going to be hooked on this for quite sometime I can already tell.

It was a question. Maybe it is nice to be able to have a different hood on a car for once. Or get rid of some gay ass spoiler. Or maybe a top secret front end looks better on a Supra. Didn't need an asshole relpy.
