GT5 prologue is an appetizer... it IS a demo.. but since GT5 is an incredibly huge game the demo is not ur regular demo but a lenghty one...

Imagine Oblivion's prologue would be dark messiah for example...

however i am certain that prologue will keep as entertained until GT5 releases... there are 65 cars.. as much cars as there are in Need for Speed... So it is still huge...

It is a demo, but if you compare it to some of the other racing games available out there its equivalent to a full game. I will be buying it because I need my GT Fix as soon as possible.

I'd much rather pay $39 for GT5:P then pay $49 or $59 for games like Juiced 2, NFS: PS etc. :)

My thoughts exactly, people complaining that it's just a demo, well a demo would just have have a small handfull of cars, and just 1 or 2 tracks, so it's not a regular demo, but an extended preview. I have no objection to paying ?18 for an extended preview as it will be a lot better than other driving games that I'd have to pay ?40 for

This game is getting around 80% score from many review sites. They are disappointed with various things in the game and even said that the game has been stretched out too much just to make it look like there is a lot to do. Also they said online mode is weak.

Well I'd probally cut them some slack on that one, this is their first attempt, so you can't expect them to get that perfect off the bat but they seem commited to making it work though :)

To the rest of the game, it's fantastic but it is clear the game is still a "work in progress" type of thing. Also coming from games like Forza 2 and PGR3/4 I have to say the tracks don't look that good at all, kinda flat...the cars look breathtaking but the tracks let them down (this I feel is mainly due to PGR3/4, the details of the tracks in those games is awesome) still, GT was always about the cars so it's to be expected.

Overall it is fantastic and well worth it. There are some minor issues I've noticed while playing it, but since this is only a demo of what they currently have, issues are bound to show up. Essentially we are paying to be beta testers for Polyphony, but to be honist I don't mind at all :happy:

Could be just me but - my game keeps telling me the date/time settings are not correct, every time I start it... but there's no option to change it?! At least I can't find it!

Also; Where are all those extra video's? I have the disc version, but I can't seem to find 'em? Do I need to unlock 'em or something? And how about quick tuning? I just saw a video by "Mr. Gran Turismo" himself using it in wnat seems to be the start menu or something, but it's not there on my end.

edit; seems like the quick tuning thing is something you only get when using a steering wheel. Nontheless, other questions remain unanswered for me :\

Tuning is there, you just need to complete the three classes (C, B, and A), then it opens the S class and tuning.

As for the videos, not sure. Not seen them, not really bothered. Its something they can, and will update as time goes on.

Well, after giving it a bit of a beating, I quite like this game.

Graphics are great, and Im getting the hang of the driving physic'y bits (Im not a big driving game player).

I can see now that some peoples complaints are justified, my biggest complaint has to be the 6gig of data installed when you first play it - considering Ive got a 40gig machine, that's an awful lot of real estate.

I also picked up Folklore, and EGWT, EG is 'install happy' as well.

If this trend keeps up, Im going to either need to remove data from my drive, or buy a bigger harddrive if I have a few more games, which is something I really dont want to do. I know the problem is the BR drive only reading at one speed (which increases the loading times), and I can appreciate why companies want to do this, but really, do they have to copy off so much?

In regards to real estate some of the games really shouldn't be installing the likes of 5GB, I dunno why they need to cache that amount of data.

However with hard drives mandatory to every PS3, you can see why PS3 developers won't be "put off" with criticism to mandatory installs.

All they'll probably say is the hard drive is their for our advantage, and yours, and also either

a) Delete our game cache when you are finished with/not playing our game

or

b) Buy a bigger hard drive

I'll be sticking the likes of a 120GB/200GB or maybe 320GB hard drive in my PS3 eventually, especially when PlayTV comes as storing movies/tvshows/games and game install data all at once will be near impossible...

I have a 40GB machine.

At least drives can be picked up really cheaply (Y) And there is a backup system in place for installing a new hard drive (Y)

By the way, im having great difficulty installing this Prologue update - Keeps saying "an error occurred during the download". Don't know if it's a mix of wireless/lots of people downloading and the fact the PSN store is being updated, or what?

Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it

      i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
