Premium. You can tell by clear windows and has cockpit view.

That might be why i cannot tell, been rarely using cockpit view. I finally forced myself to later on, seem to be getting used to it finally.

Tip: Change your sound settings to small theatre!

Nice, will try this now. My wife is gonna be even less happy. :laugh: The engine rumble in the sub is something of beauty.

Couple of questions here since some of you are "expert" in gt. What site can we access the pictures taken ingame, and 2nd question has anyone tried the VW Camper. I can't seem to move up the list from 12th position whatever I try, all the damn campers stay the same position they started with (In Top Gear Test Track).

Could be wrong but pretty sure you have to access the pictures off of your xmb itself.

Did not realize i got a free car from amazon...

Dear Amazon.com Customer,

....

This code will give you the in-game Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Stealth Model car.

I'll take a free Benz.

^ I just got the email as well, Really nice of amazon (Y) . I know you can put the picture into XMB but I'm not sure about the online features yet, since Sony's online logins are Piece of CR@P (yeah they have sign up page but no sign in page anywhere). Only login works best is at playstation.com and gap that's it, all the gaming website where they have PS login integrated works like s***.

As for the pictures, yes you export to your XMB then you can upload via the Photo Album app to either Facebook or Picassa, or just put to USB and any online hosting.

With the 12 camper vans, use the drafting method, can normally take one in the first set of cones and another 3 during it, then down the long straight and the slow corners go tight through them. Got 1st place on first clean attempt after realising you get DSQ'd for cutting corners :(

Oh I remember a question I have...

Am I the only person that feels much more comfortable having the accelerate and brake mapped to the triggers? Is there an advantage using the default X and SQUARE buttons? Right now I am using automatic so shifting gears is not a concern.

I use the right analogue stick for my throttle/brake. Easier to do slight adjustments than buttons. Not tried mapping to triggers yet though.

Does that mean you have some spare codes? rofl.gif

I think it's just mapped the way it is for gear shifting on manual.

Thats what I use, the triggers, I find it much easier to control then the right stick. Plus you can tap the brake while accellerating on some corners can give a slight advantage :D I've always used the triggers for racing games, but need to have the clip on extenders(??) to get a better feeling

Actually that's what I did some of the races I would rather have the controller then wheel so I did a little remap of the controller settings. Also some of the races you can't go on without going manual.

Oh no, I am definitely screwed when I have to go manual.

Same here, using the real triggers. (Y)

Haven't gotten my e-mail for the Benz yet. Totally unamused.

I literally got it right when I posted that, so was about an hour ago, so thinking you should hopefully get it sometime very soon.

Hmm... well got home, got the patch, installed the game, went through all the setup and had an hour or so at it.

Got to be honest.. I think I prefer Forza 3 so far! :( Obviously need a bit more time to get used to it, etc and enjoy it - hoping that multiplayer is going to improve my opinion of things when I hook up with some friends.

Finally got into the game. Really enjoying it but to be honest graphically it is nothing special even for a racing game. Still the driving part of it is was matters and they've nailed it.

Loving using the wheel, although i really suck. I win easily but isn't the most prettiest of driving. I think it could be they always start you with an Front wheel drive car to get you used to the game. I did one of the licences test with the s2000 and that car is already known to be tail happy and it was. Slightly too much power and that thing goes into a slide.

LingwoMK2 if anyone wants to add me and race.

i leave it the way it is, i hate the trigger buttons on ps3. i know you have those attachments though so i understand why you would do it that way.

I suspect this will hurt more than then help:

Lens of Truth: Forza 3 outperforms GT5

Conclusion: There's no doubt that Gran Turismo 5 and Forza 3 are beautiful looking racing games, but quite honestly we were expecting a little more from Gran Turismo 5 in the performance department. Not only did Gran Turismo 5 constantly fall below the 60 FPS mark, there was quite a bit of noticeable screen tearing occurring throughout. While Gran Turismo 5 may have a slight visual advantage over Forza 3, our analyzer proves that Forza 3 out performed Gran Turismo 5 in almost every video we captured. Lets hope Sony releases a performance patch in the near future, but Sony please don't make us wait too long…

and yeah, i think the standard cars should be in photomode quality even during races, its not like they already have too many polygons or something.... the premium cars have enough of an advantage already with their damage modelling, cockpit views, extra customization etc etc that pushing down the visual quality of the standard cars during races is just pushing down the whole game... after all, standard cars are the majority and premium cars are the minority...

You know I am not letting PD off the hook anytime soon for that lol.

and you shouldn't. they have 400 cars that look good, gt only 200... but the 200 smash the 400 though IMO. but kaz said the game wasn't done yet, and it clearly shown. from all the reviews their biggest beef was the lack of polish.

and also i played forza a lot and i dunno, i just like the way gt5 does things more. To me it's like this, forza is a racing game that is trying to be a sim (not saying it's a bad sim or anything), gt is a sim that has racing in it.

i also love the menu system, it's pretty much the same as the PSP version so i'm used to it already.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
