Gran Turismo 5 Prologue


Recommended Posts

how do you invite friends to matches, i really wana play against my psn friends but is see no way of inviting them toa game ...

cheer sfor any help :D

You can't currently.

But they did say that they will be making private rooms available in a future update. :D

I've got a pile of 5 games, and they go up the pile as they're played.

GT5 is at the bottom. And it has been for the past week.

NOT interested anymore. Why am I wasting my time playing what essentially is an extended demo? I've played it, dabbled with the features.. no reason to pick it up again.

Can't sell it either. No barcode! Ugh. :)

from what ive read to get enough credits to purchase new cars you have to keep doing the same races over and over and over again

true...

u will be in the same tracks over and over again.. playing it for many times before purchasing a new car...

besides almost half of the trakcs u can not compete with any car. u can only compete with 1 car that is eligible for the race. I had to buy a stupid suzuki capuccino, a bad mitsubishi and spend lots of credits for those cars to complete just 1 race.

so irritating.

Man, I hate that car!

GT5 Prologue.....online......is a bust!! Not only does it have 100% arcade feel but no in-game voice, no control being the host and the horrid way in which you join up with people online just totally kills the online experience! There are no words to describe just how crappy this game is ONLINE. Offline I really like the game but online is terrible at this point. Yes I realize it isn't finished but I didn't expect it to be this bad online.

As someone said before me, GT5P online is like a game of dodgems with other players not playing 'correctly' or unsportingly. Nudging your back end, using you as a barrier on corners etc. As soon as damage turns up and the penalty system is improved I'll stick to playing offline.

How's that any different than before? In 3, you pretty much had to do the same thing until you could afford a car worth racing or at least that was the easiest way to do it.

Let me start by saying I have never been a big fan of racing sims. They usually wind up getting to hard for me to quick and I just give up on them, I just do not have the patience nor the time to try and master a certain track. So I am a bit jaded...

With that said, I got my rented copy of Prologue yesterday, and I have to say I am really, really enjoying it.

I have owned PGR 3&4, and Forza 2, and first and foremost to anyone saying this game is not the best looking game out of the bunch, they need to get their eyes checked. Part of the reason I found myself so immersed is because of the graphics themselves, they really look fantastic. Running 1080p on a 50" Sony projection set, and WOW does it look great.

Sure, not having damage is a huge oversight IMO, I agree with anyone who complains about that, but lets hope they do fix that in an update.

And I dont know, maybe it is because I am so immersed now, but this games controls just seems to handle better than those other games. I am not all over the place driving. I am concentrating harder than I usually do, so maybe that is it, but I really find myself actually wanting to learn the correct lines of a track, where I never really cared about that in those other games.

So I am not completely sold on it just yet, I only did the C class races (have 2 left) so it may just be all peachey and rosey since I am doing the easy parts and once the harder driving comes in the frustration will set in as well, but I really am enjoying it so far. Way more than I thought it would. I am actually thinking it is going to be a shame that once GTA 4 comes out, I will completely forget about this game almost guaranteed.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
