Gran Turiismo 5 Prologue (released today, april 16)

[green91]

I just got back from gamestop with my copy of GT5 Prologue. I got lucky and snagged the only one they had that was not pre-ordered, once my ps3 is done getting the 2.30 firmware update i'll be giving my review!

Also from what i've read, there is already an update for the prologue free online, which updates it to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spec II. Which includes:

-34 more cars (71 total!)
-high speed ring
-drift mode & 2 plyr battle
-real time adjustment (hell yea)

anyway everyone who also picks it up post up on here.

[Vteckidd]

i thought about going to BB to get it

[EJ25RUN]

wish i had a ps3 today.......ill be getting GTA4 for xbox but i'd rather have GT5P.

[green91]

LOL well ive been home with it for about an hour and a half and still havent got to play it,
first i had a ps3 firmware update, took about 30 mins. then to actually play the game, it has to install 6 gigs onto your ps3 HD which takes about 20-25 minutes to copy over. now that its on my HD ive been waiting about 25 mins so far to download the game update. so hopefully after this i can actually play the game.

Here's the updated 71 car list......GD STI is in!

I'm gonna get a ps3 at the end of the may and pick up GT5 and MGS4

[green91]

Ive played a few of the C races now, and they have changed this game a lot. first off the graphics are GREAT. the cars handle completely different imo. the game does benefit greatly from a wheel & pedals.

now my gripes:
-car sounds aren't all that great
-not able to mod cars!!!

so far so good though, as long as they implement car modding and stuff via updates or in the final release i'll be cool with it. still by far the best driving game for ps3

39.99. They'll recoup the costs through car purchases in the store, but that's ok by me I'm sure some cars will be free because the automakers sponsors them.

dam so u really do have to buy cars.... that is kind of cool...but kind of gay...lol

[EJ25RUN]

what do you mean? It's based on credit like always.

[JITB]

what do you mean? It's based on credit like always.

credit like microsoft points, do u have to buy new cars with credit that you have to buy with real money? thats what i thought he meant.

[BB1_Luda]

Ill go pick this up right now!. brb.

Woooo!!

[EJ25RUN]

credit like microsoft points, do u have to buy new cars with credit that you have to buy with real money? thats what i thought he meant.

No, you win a race and its based on money earned through game play.

Like you win and get 20,000 credits. No REAL money YET!

[green91]

Ive been playing pretty much all day, the drive ability is 100% better than gt4. i just got done completing b-class.

You playing with the g25?

[Nismo]

No toyotas, gay.

[EJ25RUN]

No toyotas, gay.

Umm....im not worried.

Got Ferrari, Tvr, and Aston Martin.....could care less about Toyota.

[green91]

Wow i dont know about the online game play, cars are very twitchy looking, some races are impossible to win because all 12 guys have the same car... I actually got passed by a guy with the same car side by side, not sure how he had a speed boost. definitely needs some work though

[P-town-zenki]

ya'll basically payed $40 for a demo of gran turismo 5


good job

[green91]

Its a little more than a demo, there are actually licenses, 70+ cars and more than 1 track, as well as online game play. Its not the full game but considering the full version wont be out until 09, im glad they released this and its definitely worth the $39.99. Thanks for hating try again later.

OMG you have absolutely no idea.

It has more cars than NFS, It has better tracks that are more realistic than any other game PERIOD.

And it blows Forza graphics out the water. It's not a Demo, GT5P is the first real release of GT on a PS3. It's not the final product but i would pay $60.00 for it cause it that good.

[green91]

Its not even full $60 game price, its $39.99. and it is that good. the online gameplay is actually pretty badass as long as you arent doing oval tracks lol.

[blaknoize]

Hey could someone buy it for me and send it to me? I'll send u the money first if u already have 2 copies. It'd be like ebay. I'm all tha way muthafukin serious!

[ironchef]

Waiting for 2.3 to finish dling then I'll be playing. Anyone want to hit up some online races? "ironchefigor" add me .

[BA4Life]

Beat the game yesterday....sorta....Got a good bit of the manufaturer events done....oh yea and after you "think" your done...youve got an "S" class added. Still want that F40!!

[nreggie454]

How does it stack up against Forza 2? Is it worth the 1+ year wait?

[ironchef]

Anyone else having a problem dling the updates?

[Nemesis]

Anyone else having a problem dling the updates?

Nope, all of my stuff has gone through just fine. Having a hard time finding time to play though. Wish sometimes I was a kid on summer vacation chilling with friends playing all day and bumming money off mom for food!

I have to finish event A, I just don't have time.

[green91]

I got the game update on the 2nd try, the first time it failed.

[ironchef]

This is gay, no matter what I do the download wont go .

[green91]

Im doing some of the a-class races now and they really jump in difficulty from the b-class. The driving experience is so much better imo. with the GTR you can really haul ass and when it understeers into a high speed turn, modulate the gas off and oversteer it. imo the drivability is 100000x better than gt4 or any other game ive ever played.

[BA4Life]

Been playing Gran Turismos since sometime in 97 (japanese release) for the PS1 and have bought every addition and this go round is much better (realistic) than the other GTs. Take off all driving aids, and choose professional physics....thats how Ive played GT3, GT4 and this game. TCS/ASM= . Cant wait till the whole game releases!!!

[Ronsam2006]

Damn yall some lucky ass mofoss.....I still have the Ps2 and the GT4...which I am still happily rockin...

The GT-R is balls out, its insane. I was using an STI '05 for most of the stuff in class b, then bought a GT-R for the GT-R only race, and the difference between the two is night and day, its nuts. Still dont have the goddamn update though .

[green91]

Yea i used the evo ix for most of the b class races, but its simply outpowered once you get into the a-class. ive been using the GT-r and bought a z06, but it sucks, buy the ford GT instead. the z06 is geared long as **** and handles like jello.

Chuck and I played for pretty much 13 hours straight saturday. We have only completed one of the S-Class events so far.....

Im not real happy with the game content and layout but other than that....

Graphics are definatly the best there is as far as driving games go
