Gran Turismo 5 Prologue


Recommended Posts

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?

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
