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.

    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
