How was the online in GT4?
Any lag or was it smooth?

I don't trust Amar to review the game objectively. He is so giddy over the game that its impossible for him to give an objective review. He is good at telling what the game has in terms of features, but i only care about how the cars drive and i don't think that he is capable of pointing out any shortcomings, if there were any, about the physics.
A lot people put physics secondary to graphics/replays when it comes to GT. After 4 it was unplayable to me. Prologue was great before the last couple of updates messed it up.
Doesn't matter at this point though, since the game is coming out soon and I'll get to see for myself.

pew pew pew. Not bad, but CozMick was better.Metalmurphy said:
Anyway, is the DLC always region locked? Can I buy the US version of the game and then buy the DLC in one of the European PSN stores? Would it work? And how about online?

They should have a part of the game called C-spec, where you play the harrowing tale of the cameraman who runs out in front of your car on Grand Canyon road. They can implement crazy dodging mechanics and all the camera features of photomode, and even online features where you have to dodge traffic and get behind the invisible barrier first as players try their best to run you over
People form Washington state are the best, but I also place my odds at getting this early at roughly 0.05%. I just hope that I get my amazon delivery on release day, and that ups or whomever comes to my house fairly early.chifanpoe said:I live in the States, Washington State to be exact, and no one here has received their copies yet nor would sell it early if they had

Arr, to buy a driving wheel or not to buy one? I don't even have a stand or table for it.

Same here. I'm waiting to get the game to see how 'into it' I get before splashing out on a wheel. Got some work in though so if I did want one, I could get it
Hopefully someone can tackle this one without getting into a console war. (I have 360 & PS3, love both).
I'm a casual racing player. Pad all the way for me, I'm sure wheel is better, but I can't justify the investment.
So can anyone paying on dualshock say how it feels? This is an ephemeral thing, and I can't really quantify it. With Prologue and Forza 2, Prologue always felt a bit "slidey/floaty", whilst Forza 2 felt more "real". Forza 3 continued this feeling and I wondered how GT5 is.
Anyone get what I mean?

Buy a wheel and a stand. Problem solved. :lolPatrick Bateman said:Arr, to buy a driving wheel or not to buy one? I don't even have a stand or table for it.

It's likely personal preference, but I'm in the same boat. I prefer Forza's physics and GT's graphics.
Supposedly the physics in GT5 have been improved over prologue, but there are still some videos of cars catching more air than they seemingly should, so I have a feeling it's still pretty similar in terms of the feeling of weight.

There's a new driving aid called Slide Recovery Force (which takes the place of standard physics), that might help make the handling feel less 'twitchy' with a pad.
You'll probably have to wait until its out in a wild before you get detailed impressions.

God, those F40 pics make me sad. That car should never be seen like that.
So uh...
I just got back from Gamestop in an attempt to preorder. Here is a brief transcript of my conversation with the store clerk.
Me: "Hey, I'd like to put down a preorder for Gran Turismo 5...."
Clerk: Ok.... [types types types]
Me: "....... for PS3"
Clerk: "Oh PS3? Ok. [types types types] Well I'm not seeing it in the system at all. I think it got pushed back."
Me: "Huh... well, I know it got pushed back a lot, but I'm pretty sure it's out next week. It says so on your website even."
Clerk: "Hmm, yeah I'm not seeing it. Believe me, I want to see it in here... I'd love to sell you a preorder, but it's just not in here. And that usually means there's no official street date or it's been pushed back again. I mean even Gears of War 3 is in here, but no Gran Turismo. Sorry man, I can't help you."
Me: "Oh... well ok thanks anyway"
This was right after I told the sales guy on the floor that I intended to preorder GT5 and he enthusiastically talked me into doing it right away cause "preorders are flying off the shelf."
So after stifling a mild bout of hysteria, I thought it through and determined that either he's an idiot, Gamestop is an idiot, my Gamestop isn't getting GT5 which makes them another idiot, or the least likely scenario: no one's an idiot and the clerk was right and we've all been duped again, in which case Sony's an idiot.
Anyone else get this from GS? I swear I've never had a pleasant preorder experience with them, something always goes wrong or I get screwed or it doesn't take or something. Thought I'd give it one more shot after years of avoiding it and I get this. Lesson learned.
