Gran Turismo 5 Prologue The Official Thread of Glorious Cockpit View

I have to ask...

Is it me or does the game look better when the PS3 is set to output at 720p instead of 1080p?

I have a 1080p 42" Sony XBR2, and I sit about 7 feet away from it. When the PS3 is set at 1080p, most edges of the cars (especially with lighting) are a jaggy flickering mess.

720p fixes this for me.

Is this normal?

It would suck to have to switch output for my PS3 every time I switch from game to Blu-ray just for GT5P.
1080p looks way better than 720p on my 42" Samsung set. There is a little shimmer in garage view, but other than that it's super clean.

720P has 4x AA vs 2x AA in 1080P mode. I don't see the "jaggy flickering mess" you do, the game looks damn nice. I will try 720P mode soon and see how well it looks.
No way this game has 4xAA... iirc it is 2xAA in 720p and no AA in 1080p.

same here in my Sony Bravia KLV 32'' , at 720p the game look like sex , at 1080i it's still good but not like 720p .

Online events are updated. Happened as I was playing, got out of a race and back to the menu and suddenly all events had ended. Clearing the cache revealed an all new set of events. Looks like these are good till the 15th.
 
so finally the game updated the events. now you can race online with the F1.

in related bragging news, this time i wasn't shunted by a cheater and managed to win one of the time trial events. the daytona road on, pro mode and 600pp

i was curious to see what yoy win... and you get nothing!

cheap bastards, not even a single credit in the game.

just bragging rights:D

btw, finally messed around with the F1, after the event update. now looking at time trial times in suzuka, GT is overexagerating a bit. i already have a 1'27'688, with some mistakes. thats like 5 seconds faster than real life right? so the car should be a bit slower.

other than that, i still haven't tested the actual races, so i don't know if they changed the reagion lock thing, as some people were debating over at GTP.

but they should. having the japanese version is a pain now, nobody is online. they should at least allow us to play with the NA people

Congrats, I just got my G25 a couple days ago and I'm loving it. I played almost the whole game with a controller and playing with a wheel is definitely a hundred times better. I just love to demo the cars. I was wondering though, what's wrong with the DFGT?
 
Someone please help me!!!!

I did something stupid!! I was trying to beat S4 with my Mine's Skyline, and then gave up to try the S6 race (F40), I bought the F40 and then realized I forgot to turn the 'auto save' off! I did beat the S6 race with the F40 but now I'm stuck with only 4k left.

What do I do? I tried the S4 race with the F40, but it has terrible braking and doesn't suit the track well. I've got the Mine's skyline with all power reduced to hit 630points. I've lowered the car a bit and adjusted the gear ratio so that I can take the turns in 3rd gear. This car feels better than the F40 for this track, but I'm losing big time on the straights.

Can someone please post their Mine's Skyline settings for the S4 race? I can't buy another tuned car without racing for hours. I will though if the Elise 111r will work here. But I'm hoping to beat it with the Mine's. Any help?

well , first it's full of cheap plastic ( G25 has leather/Aluminum pedals wheel spoke and paddle shifters ) cheap look and full of buttons on the wheel , uncomfortable and unremovable shifter stick with only + or - and no real "H-pattern" 6 speed ( the stick on it it feel funky ) , and yeah there is no fucking clutch .

Driving Force GT is fucking joke , waste of $150 , it's the 2nd best option tho yet it's pure crap .

There's no way to just rotate the camera around the car as I want in the showroom?:|

Have you tried getting it via the news section ?
Behind a router ? NAT 2 hopefully ? UPnP enabled ?
Wired connection ?

If everything fails, try connecting the machine directly to a modem.

im connected to a rdsl modem/router(inone), no security, firewall dissabled, NAT 2 and UPnP both enabled?

and yes it's a wired connection.

any suggestions? please? :(

i read on some site you need to open up ports on the router....i'm so clueless when it comes to router ports, check this thread out:

Anyone know where I can get some good setups for the F40? I'm stuck on S6 as it just keeps understeering through the Esses and I get rammed by the computer which then decides to give me a penalty because getting rammed off the road wasn't enough... >:l

I'm thinking about picking this up next week, however I took a look at Gametrailer's review.

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33541.html

Is this review pretty accurate?

It's hit and miss. Shameful that the guy (who is generally fairly accurate) doesn't understand what the word Prologue means, apparently, and that he also fails to acknowledge that a plethora of full priced racers don't feature as much content as GT5P.
 
It's definitely NOT 4xaa in 720p. Warhawk has 4xAA. Just compare that with GT5. Warhawk has near non-existent aliasing, while they're noticeable in GT5. Also, it's fairly easy to tell with just my eyes anyways, being the avid PC gamer that I am. /smug grin

That's quite honestly the most puzzling omission in this game. It would have taken all of maybe 5 minutes of extra programming to implement this. The only logical explanation is that they didn't want you to be able to move camera around.

Finally got my copy.

The install + the update is absolute bullshit.

But I got into a race....and it's just so right. OMG.

I just did an online race. that is some busted shit. i can't believe they released a product like that. The Japanese racers were very polite but I was bumped multiple times by this Canadian driver. I'd prefer it if there was no contact at all.

To single player I go.

why can't they incorporate the update in the discs now that the update is out? that way people don't have to download it.

kindda like how Windows XP CDs come with SP2 now.

News section... Skip the update after / before the intro, then go to NEWS in the menu screen.

I thought it was 2X on 720p and no AA on 1080p

I'm pretty sure it's like this:

game 720p = 1280x720, 4XAA
game 1080p = 1280x1080, 2XAA
menu = 1920x1080, no AA

Just got a G25 last week, my first driving wheel ever and I was wondering about some of the force feedback. First of all, is there some place where I can read about how this stuff works? I'm very curious to how they do the wheel resistance and stuff. Second thing is whenever I'm turning slightly at around 50+ mph I get a grinding feeling from the wheel, is this something normal? Last of all, I was wondering how durable the wheels are. How long should I expect the wheel to last?

Also wanted to put a link to this review for the DFGT on here. It's made by the guys at Inside Sim Racing. They are a hardcore lot that plays mainly PC sims online competitively so such a great review almost makes me want to return the G25 and get that, but the pedals pretty much made my mind.

Why cant i download this fucking update via PC.

I have upgraded my router(not because of this) and my PS3 is DMZ'ed on the router, i download from the PS store just fine but the best i have gotten is like 1% on the update.
Wireless, dont really have an option to plug it in via ethernet.

thanks!

is opening router ports important for the update?

Heh, besides Motorstorm, I'm hard pressed to find others.

Recently got it, got to play a little bit of it on my SDTV (just more convenient for my wheel setup, which I can't put in front of my projector as it blocks some of it, I usually have a spot for it but that's being taken up by some other stuff...gotta re-arrange it). Got golds on my first try on all A events EXCEPT for the one that required you to draft to get a record lap time...I really hope those sorts of events are kept to a minimum as I can see myself trying to even get bronze for them at higher levels and just finding it frustrating as you'll have to draft everyone for all their worth. Those sorts of events at the S class would be hell, I'm guessing.

Is there any way of comparing my times on the tracks with my friends? I didn't see it on the track selection screen, I'm guessing it's in the leaderboard area then, but I only see the top 20, I have to go through the manual for all these other features I guess.
 
am i the only one who really enjoys the online portion of this game? i have only been intentionally spun out by one little fucker but other than that i've had pretty fair races.

i gave up on s class. just trying to buy every single car in the game now.

Late to this, but DAMN look at that! It crushed GT4P and it still is going fairly strong.

Anyways, tomorrow's my birthday guys and I decided with some extra cash I'm going to be ordering my wheel officially. I noticed some prices have changed, but have you heard any deals or anything? What's the best way to go about ordering this thing. G25 by the way.
