So I don't know if we have any gamers out there or not (but I am guessing there's got to be a few) - but for us lucky PS3 owners, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue hit the shelves today and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

I think I will probably start my career with an RX-8 - though it does seem pretty silly to drive it in a video game when I have a real one out in my parking lot!

Any other GT fans out there?

 

Wrong forum mate, there are already other threads about GT5, search.

REgards

 

I have to wait till the end of this month. I'm half way there as I sold my 360 now I just need to pick up a PS3. Unfortunately the resale value of a 360 is as bad as the RX-8's. I'll be ready to race online whenever I get everything set up.

A few of the recent GT5 threads:

Yikes! Sorry guys, I didn't even think to search, I was excited about the release

 

did it actually hit the shelves or just ship out today?

no one in my area has it. target says they get them tomorrow.

 

wow im surprised, normaly here in australia we are the last to get anything, but looks like we got GT5 before you guys lol! been out over here for a coupl eof weeks :D
unfortunately i dont have a ps3 though

 

I think they're being shipped out today. Store tells me they should have it in tomorrow.

 

Now IGN says April 17th...

They got a review on it too for what it's worth...

several stores said it'll be in stock tomorrow. so looks like "released on the 15th", and "delivered by the 16th"

 

You guys are LATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I've been playing it for MONTHS ...... AHHH

SEE YA ON GT TV !

 

is it in Japanese or what?

 

The North America version is an updated version of the original japanese release. I ordered mine from WalMart with the Logitech racing wheel (not the g25) and it's supposed to ship today, but it still says "processing"

I wondered about the release date also. I think the disc is released today (or shipped today) and they begin selling it at the Playstation Store on 4/17.

Man, I can't wait. I played the older versions a couple of times, but I'm really looking forward to testing out my recently purchased PS3.

 

PS3 SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS XBOX is the **** holla...

 

Picking up my reserved copy tommorow morning

 

i got the game yesterday it was tite i got a rx8 just like mine in the game

 

Played a few races online tonight...there are quite a few people who races with an 8. I actually had an Evo all night because I was in process to beat event "B" AWD and was too lazy to switch. Fun times on GT!

 

I got mine on wednesday and im almost done with class A. I sure hope a new class pops out of somewhere or Im going to be mad.

 

you get b c a and once you finish those, you get S class and you can light tune the cars

 

class S is freakin hard. How are you all holdin up?

 

I've pretty much given up - some of these tasks are just preposterous and I've no room for video games that frustrate me past the point on enjoying them.

I sometimes pop the game in for a few online races - though it seems lately my 15 MB/s connection isn't fast enough or something, because it struggles to connect most times. Of course, most people online drive like drunken chimps too.

I'm still excited for the full version of the game, presuming it ever sees the light of day, but I'm pretty much done w/ Prologue for now.

 

I'm on the A class trying to save up for that damn ferrari so I can beat the last course.

 

so after i beat the three races in the beggining can I start fixing up my cars?

 

for me, im pretty much done with S class. I only have like 2 race events. Cars i use is Amuse 2k,
Gran Turismo Ford GT Concept,
ferrai 599
and Mines R34.

But since i do alot of drift trials, i havent gone back and do the last 2 races. i guess this weekend ill should. also play on professinal mode, with no traction, no abs, no assist steering.






yep, once you finished Class A, B, C you will get into class s after the ending movie is done. Only thing you can do is pretty much is , weight reduction and increase, HP decrease or increase, camber settings, down force settings, Gear ration settings and that is prett much it.

can't wait for the full version when they have the parts shop back in the game.

also i think ppl at the GT forums are pretty pissed because JGTC Amemiya Rx7 was suppose to make it to the game. but recently they have a new sponsor, which is probably why it did not make it to the car line up for prologue.

 

wtf? so you can't choose the type of turbo kit etc you want? and what do you mean by full version?

 

I found the game to be pretty fun. I am playing with the g25...I played it on pro until s class. It was almost impossilbe for me to beat some of the s class race on pro physic.
btw the R8 handles so good in the game.....
