Gran Turismo

Tested the others. I probably should've bought the Gallardo or an F430 instead, but I think the LFA should do fine. My B-Spec driver even drove it worse than any other AI (placing last on the same damn tier). Will try out the Viper GTS once I've garnered enough money (god, maintaining the LFA just emptied my pocket).

Necro:

Thank you Polyphony Digital for not putting a choice whether to surely restart a race or not. Now I'll have to repeat 4 hours of racing.

FUCK YOU

Lemme guess - it was an endurance race then you accidentally used the "Race Again?" option that was included in the last update?

Yeah, i've heard a bunch of complaints already about that one not having a Yes or No selection.

Another thread bump. Related to the PS3's recent hack.


http://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-h...3-exploit/

Their first major accomplishment involves a way to easily duplicate game-saves between different PSN accounts.

That’s interesting, but the next step -- manipulating the game data itself -- could have far greater implications . Imagine, for example, the ability to manually set any attribute of any car in your garage (power, weight, etc.) to any value, or swap out engines, transmissions, and other parts.

however, this could enable dishonest players to compete with others using an unfair and hidden advantage.

Gads.

@ Fox:

I could give you a Citroen GT Road Car or its concept version, Bugatti, Black Mask, Ford GT LM Spec II, Scuderia, and a SuperVeloce if you want (add me). Just saw your post now.

[Fox]

Thanks for the offer, Goat, but it's more of a personal goal for me. Tell you what, i'll take you up on that offer for whichever of those cars i don't obtain by the end of the month. The annoying thing about the Veyron is that it only randomly appears in the Used Cars section, especially during time when i don't have any money for it.

Hahah alright. Btw, you get it as a reward at some point after beating a specific race in ASPEC iirc.

[Fox]

Must be one of those championships in the Professional, Expert and Extreme categories that i haven't entered yet.

[maitreya]

I think you get the Veryon in the Gran Turismo World Championship in the Professional Series (A-Spec).

And that car is, btw, one fast moving giant brick with auto-adjusting wings based on current speed (adjust the gear ratios for killer acceleration!). XD

[Fox]

Never expected to see one of these in the game.



Stumbled upon it in the Used Car section. Bought it and spent around just over a hundred grand tuning it. After getting the last of the upgrades, the result was a featherlight 672lb with an astounding 76bhp, which would've thrilled people in post-WWII Germany.

Yep, it sucked big time. Couldn't even place first in the Sunday Cup.

[Grim]

Holy shit. I wasn't looking at the thread title and I totally thought that was a photograph of a real car.

[Goat]

Yep. That's PD alright. GT on the PS2 even looked photorealistic as well, which is something to look at in retrospect.

I heard a few rumors that PD was supposed to have that sort of graphics during gameplay as well, which then took around 6 months to model per car. Like MGS4, they had to downgrade at the last minute when they found out that the PS3 still has its limits. It never went outside photo mode, pity.



Here's what I had before. Won't be playing the game anytime soon because I borrowed my uncle's Killzone 2 copy, lending him this as thanks.

@ Fox:
How's your shopping list btw?

I think I saw a Diablo GT-1 once on the online dealership. Somewhere around 700k iirc. You win the Ford GT LM Race Car Spec II from some race too.




@ Thread:

Anyone tried out taking pictures of a car's interior? Never tried it though, but if you look at it the detailing is insane; exactly the same irl.

[atdsutm]

theres a new patch adding a ton of stuff in GT5

including specifically changing gear ratios (only heard on forum posts havent directly confirmed it yet)
