GT5: anyone get it?

[rose0529]

It is very frustrating you cant upgrade the brakes, I do agree. I did find however last night that the brake distribution is set up 50/50 and can be adjusted!, and my cars back end would come out on me in a hard brake. I turned it to 70/30 and it completely changed the car i was driving.

Also saw this yesterday...

GT5 creator reveals fixes in the works, more functionality comingby Jeff Glucker (RSS feed) on Dec 1st 2010 at 6:32PM

Gran Turismo 5 has been pretty polarizing, right out of the gate. Some diehard fans are so excited that it's here, they may not care about the obvious issues the game has at launch. On the other end of the spectrum, some folks are quick to deride the racing sim as being terrible when that's far from true. The reality is that Gran Turismo 5 falls somewhere in between these two extreme points of view. It is pretty amazing, while its flaws are clearly visible. Creator Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that fixes are planned, and should arrive by early December.

What exactly do these fixes include? Mechanical damage will be added to the existing cosmetic damage, the "blocky shadows" will be resolved, online functionality will be increased and the ability to disable the HUD is mentioned as a possible option.

Whatever your gripes with the game may be, it's nice to hear that Polyphony Digital is listening. The ability to implement fixes and dole them out by way of a download is a far cry better from the old days of waiting for the next generation game.

That's good to hear, hopefully it'll help people like myself enjoy it more.

Is the brake bias adjustable on all cars or only certain ones?

[rose0529]

I think its all cars. It was a "standard" car i changed it on.

on a side note, purchased my first evo last night. picked up a 1999 Evo V in white. modded it to 390 hp.... and i dominated the 90's Japanese cup!

[goodhart]

What all versions of Evo's are on this game? I was kinda dissapointed that Forza only had an VIII MR, IX MR, and X GSR as far as the Evo's that ever came to the states. I would have liked an VIII or IX RS, or at least a JDM version. I wanted to make my car and of course...no JDM rear bumper

Probably model year versus production year. For instance, a 2003 Evo 8 has a 2002 production date which is probably what the game is showing.

[123abc]

Cars over there are usually released a year ahead of the American market.

There was one in my used car dealer last night, I almost bought it... but I didnt have a race for it yet.

[Tachyon]

Oh look; it's 5:00. Time to go home and drive my 10,500RPM Spoon DC2.

[dumb_ricer]

The only way to go if you want an actual simulation game is PC.

Live for Speed > rFactor for regular racing, and nothing can even come close to touching Richard Burns Rally with RSRBR2010 for rally racing.

Richard Burns Rally is easily the most fun to play game of all time with a decent wheel/pedal setup. I love my Driving Force Pro, but I kind of want to upgrade to a G25/G27.

So, I went to scheides to help out for a bit tonight, and left Rachael playing GT5. I came home to find out she had saved a replay for me too see, she drifted a corner really nicely. She then proceeds to say "I like watching the replays after... because its like looking in a mirror while having sex!" LOL

Haha! Now she has no reason to let you buy a wheel and pedals.

[rose0529]

Bump for some pics uploaded from the ps3....







This is what happens when you let MattD drive your corvette! (take note ryan!!)

[scheides]

Hahaha awesome!

[Kracka]

LOL he pulled a Scheides!

I'm really liking GT5 though, sure it has a few odd flaws but 1. its a game! 2. what game doesn't? It's a lot of fun. I have one more test to pass and I'll have my National A license and I already have a modded white IX and modded white X. The in-game X has the SST transmission and they did a really good job of recreating the interior.

Nice! I have yet to pick up an X, but I have an 8 and 9 already.
