[QUOTE="Master_ShakeXXX"][QUOTE="GeneralShowzer"] 8.0 is the average this game is getting.NeonNinja

Well, you should cancel due to the lack of overall content in the game, but hey, what do I know.

And I know someone's going to tell me "BUT IT HAS OVER 30 CHARACTERS, NEON!" I know. I know. It's still lacking in content and it's almost criminal that Capcom are holding so much of it back for DLC.

And with that, I am going to wait patiently for Arcana Heart 3. 8)

Yeah its true the game is a bit lacking in terms of content. I mean things like a Time Attack mode or a Survivor mode would have been nice and frankly should be there honestly but I still plan on picking up the game and having a great time with it. I will just probably be pissed when Capcom comes out with a MvC3 gold edition or whatever next year with 10+ new characters plus all those other game modes all for only $40 lol. I'm sure they gonna do it too but I can't be bothered to wait.

Porsche is under contract with EA. There are RUFs though (which are like Porsches).

gaming25

Perhaps but that would be kinda odd cause GT is a really big name so you would think Porsche would want their cars in it. But meh I can live with RUF's I guess although I really wish some of them were premium cars so I could use my cockpit view.

Why is my B-Spec driver so retarded?

He fights so long and so hard to get to the lead in a race in the last lap...only to blow it all by spinning out on an easy turn.

I'd fire him but then I'd have to hire some other inexperienced newbie who's bound to be even more stupid.

The_Game21x

Yeah, I'm really not diggin the B-spec mode much either. You can't pause the game during a race if you need to and you really have to baby sit your driver even if hes in the lead otherwise he will start driving at 20mph for no real reason other than to let the competition to catch up just screw you over for taking your eye off the race for a little too long. Really I wouldn't bother with it at all except for the fact that you can win some decent cars from some of the events.

More in a game isn't better? Eh, I don't follow that one. Sure PD is known for their beauty details and they have it pluss 800. The failure in the game isn't in the amount of cars.

I, keep on noticing people talk about if there were 400 premium cars instead of 800 regular. Why do they say this? I think making 200 premium cars takes longer time than 800 normal ones.

gaming25

btw, I find it amusing that in the week that I've been gone this thread has almost matched the amount of posts that it previously took 4 months to accumulate :P

You can't really ignore them completely actually. One of the Extreme events in GT mode requires the use of one. Its annoying me too cause its one of the lastseries I need to finish to complete the Extreme set races but I'm stuck waiting for it to show up in the Used car lot. When is that car gonna show up I dunno but I think I could of lived with the used car thing if it just gave you a list of all the cars available instead of just randomly cyclying a set of cars.

Just wondering but is anyone else having problems with this game at the main menu? I just tried booting up the game like a dozen or so times and everything looks fine but when I get to the main menu the arrow cursor never shows up to let me select anything. It does it every time, like it just sits there continuing to play music and showing that background video. I don't get it I mean the game has been working fine for me from launch but now it starts this. Its really starting to frustrate me I wanna play some GT... :(

The review will depend on the online based on what Calvert has said.

So has anybody used it?

PBSnipes

Going by reviews, it's seemingly pretty terrible. The friend-based stuff (ie gifting, messaging and profiles) is supposively pretty cool, but the actual multiplayer sounds terrible: ****ty netcode, no quick-'n-easy matchmaking, apparently no easy way to restrict races to certain types of cars (not as sure about that one, but Eurogamer said virtually everything is 'bring your 1000+bhp monstrosity'), no rewards (ie XP or credits) whatsoever for racing online and most inexplicably, no goddamn leaderboards.

Assuming that's all true, I'm actually shocked GT5 is scoring as well as it is. Obviously the game's main appeal is the SP (and it certainly shows up in that department), but to put forward such a half-assed effort (actually, a half-assed effort would've still included leaderboards, so call it no-assed) is inexcusable.

I haven't got the game yet but yikes no leaderboards is pretty bad as this is a racing game after all. Hopefully its something they can add in later via a patch.

heres some new videos from ign http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/113/1136263p1.html

looking good

ScreamDream

It seems like the cockpit videos look best on this game but not all cars have cockpit view.

Yeah its really disappointing for me that not all cars have a cockpit view as thats my favorite way to race. Same thing for all cars not having the same level of customization. Really I would have been happier if they went with less total cars like say around 500 but all of them had a cockpit view and full customization. That way things would of beenmore consistant. Oh well, I'm still excited for the game though.

Pretty good review. Sounds like the game is good just the tech issues bring it down a bit. Maybe they can fix that with a patch or something but eh I doubt it. Either way I will be picking it up at some point down the line as I really enjoyed Fable 2 quite a bit and this looks like more of the same.

How do you use any buttons while using the touch screen?

gamer0100

Just curious but what happens if you're left handed like me? I've not played the DS much but if I'm using the stylus with my left hand how would I move? I'd imagine the face buttons as theres no analog stick on the right side but that seems rather awkward to me.

Well for me personally, I'm gonna pass on buying Kinect until I see a core game that interests me and takes advantage of the tech. So far all I have seen is more aimed at the casual gamer which is fine, its just not for me. Also I won't be buying Move cause while it has games like SOCOM 4 and Killzone 3 that use it I'd much rather use a standard controller that I already have instead of shelling out money buying Move controllers when that money could be spent buying more games.
