+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 Download at 70% now, furthest it's gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 Finally downloaded. It failed at around 85%, then it shot up to 100% after a min or two on next try. Lots of changes on menu! It's faster for me as well (navigating the menu). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf- Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 If the download is still getting hammered... I'd hate to see next week when its released in the USA. Think of the amount of users updating it compared to the European's. The calendar, or rather todays date has been screwed up for sometime now. It's marked as April 4 for todays date, but the calendar itself displays correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more PS3's in Europe than anywhere else right now. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the amount of users updating it compared to the European's. It comes as the store is updated. I'm hoping the hammering is inflated worse than it really is just now due to the ongoing work on the store. GT always sells more in Europe though, so that fact alone might mean issues aren't as bad in the states. GT4 for example, As of December 2007, Gran Turismo 4 has sold 1,230,000 copies in Japan, 70,000 in Southeast Asia, 2,870,000 in North America, 5,640,000 in Europe, and 110,000 in Korea. 2x that of America.

vf- Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Perhaps the mass flood of it updating... I don't know to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 7, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'd also expect the updates we needed to run will already be in the American version of GT5 Prologue :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corris Veteran Posted April 7, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2008 I finally got it done last night, woot. I waited till about 11pm and tried, it was a Sunday and it was late, so I figured it would be the best time. I waited, it got about a 1cm before half way before getting stuck, so I waited and waited and it didn't move, just didn't go anywhere. So I cancelled it, started it again and it did it instantly, woo. :p Really loving this game, I've done all of C and B class, and I have one more to do on A, just need to get the funds to buy the Ferrari car. Loving this. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WooSH Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 ^ can we get some ingame screens? Those screenshots that are taken when you are in your garage or when it shows a replay are not accurate as the game upscales those videos to produce better shadowing and lighting. I played a limited version of Prologue at the NY Auto Show, and the graphics sucked @$$ compared to those shots. But i have a feeling they werent even using proper cables for that.

I played a limited version of Prologue at the NY Auto Show, and the graphics sucked @$$ compared to those shots. But i have a feeling they werent even using proper cables for that. There's very little difference in quality between in the garage/dealership and in game. This game doesn't even have a photo mode like its previous versions where it ups the quality of the models/shadows. There a few cars that has blocky shadows on them, as it appears there's a rendering glitch that has encountered.

sn00pie Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks again for the great pictures and videos, voo! I was talking to a friend and he said GT5:P comes out on the 17th instead of the 15th for us North Americans... is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maeby Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 as far as i know that is untrue, it will be there when the new store opens on the 15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf- Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Amazon has it down for April 15, and they are pretty good with release dates. Hmm after reading GT Planet. America gets more cars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maeby Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 im still confused on the release date... ive heard a million times it will be there when the new store opens on the 15th...all retailers (amazon, gamestop etc) have it for the 15th, but on the ps store now, it says the 17th. is it just an old pic they have up they havnt changed or something?

sn00pie Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) I'm guessing that retailers will have it on the 15th, and the online store will have it on the 17th if not the 15th... EDIT: NEVER MIND Future Shop is saying available April 17th. ****! Edited April 11, 2008 by Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corris Veteran Posted April 12, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think I'm going to have to print off a list of all the vehicles to tick off, I keep forgetting which ones I have when I go to buy another one. My memory is like a sieve. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted April 12, 2008 Veteran Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) I was playing today and notice a news update saying that there will be maintenance on the 15th, the day of the store update, and that some records and player assigned controls will be reset? The only reason I can see for this is if they are going to be giving us an update again, otherwise I don't see how server maintanence would reset player controller assignments. Maybe the extra cars that are in the US version so we can play against each other? Edited April 12, 2008 by Corris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
