They said that pro racers have been playing GT to learn about the track befor the race.

 

I got my pre-order at Gamestop,..when does it go public?

 

You my friend definitely has the real-deal skillz. I usually play some sort of video game the day before autocross, lately it's been Dirt 2 on the Xbox360. It helps me get into the right frame of mind, see you on the 12th of December.

 

game officially comes out Wednesday.

 

i have my copy coming from amazon. i can't wait

 

Where are the cheats to get unlimited cash and unlock all the cars!

 

Costco got their copies in but it won't be on the shelves until Wednesday. Item #551630 $54.99

 

Sweeet, the exact place I was planning on picking up my Ps3 from anyway.

 

I concur. I played games to learn Tsukuba, Fuji, Laguna Seca, Suzuka, etc., and remember every turn. The only factor if I do drive there in real life is if the car is set up for it and getting used to elevation changes. And just like Kiyoshi said, its just like a simulator for pilots more or less. Even though I don't fly in my career, I've flown the C17 in our simulator and it

Even though I don't fly in real life in my career, I've flown the C17 in our simulator and its basically a video game. Not as good as Polyphony/Sony graphics though, lol.

 

I get worse with playing games! I have to stay away from it till after autox, then I can go nuts... unless I can make a car that handles like my miata, with a tight autox type course.

 

So how's everyone take on it so far?

Reviews have been harsh and I cant shake the feeling is because they expected TOO much. Some are saying Forza 3 is better (which I didn't like at all, I don't care what anyone says, ****ty graphics, poor car modeling, average physics)

Still waiting to pick up my copy later today, but I played GT5 Prologue for hours and hours and never got tired of it. GT5 will absorb me.

 

GT5 is going to be harshly critiqued, simply because it was originally a Title release.. In other words, as all PS3 users know, it was supposed to be a release when the consoles first arrived.
Nonetheless, I can't wait to snag my copy today. Its already paid off!


On a side note- Any local feedback on the game yet?

 

One thing that personally disapoints me that the GT series never gets right: engine noise. They still all sound exactly the same, even in GT5. I know it may sound trivial to most of you here, but it's a huge reason I prefer Forza, and even NFS: Shift. Sure, Shift may be an "arcade" racer, but NO ONE has done engine noises better than EA.

I'm still not sure if I want this game now, because another thing I can't stand is long loading times, which a lot of people seem to be complaining about. And the whole premium vs regular cars thing is a big turn-off too.

 

I'll just keep playing Black Ops.
