official Gran Turismo 5

Can't say I know what the Chrome Line is, lol.

The Joystiq article says these will be japan only, hopefully there not, but if they are then I hope they work across accounts or I guess you can just play the game on a Japanese accept and gift them to your proper one, lol.

Chrome Line were the DLC cars to those that bought the Collectors edition. Stealth to the Signature.

Congrats You Win!

Thanks! :) Shame the game isn't connecting to the servers for me to claim it now. Hopefully a reset will work.

*sigh* I'm connected to the servers now (I think), and nothing's showing up in the Gifts section. :( I had this problem before with Pheee. He sent me a car no problem, then when I sent him one, it came out of my garage, but it never went into his.

restart your console, goto community and check gifts.

[MightyJordan]

^ Still no luck. :( I'll try another restart, as when I started up this time, it told me straight away it couldn't connect to the servers.

Well just wait till the servers come online and you will get it, it might just take some time.

Okay Problem solved for MightyJordan, After the recent server maintenance and Fiasco last Saturday you have to clear your network cache in the settings menu regardless if you are not experiencing any problems it might improve system performance.

Uhh.... no. The AI is really good.

Uhh....no, it is not. Sorry, F1 AI blows it away. I would rather have a little less graphics and little more intelligent AI but thanks for your opinion though.

[MightyJordan]

I'm currently doing my first endurance race; the 60 lap Grand Valley Speedway race. I'm up to lap 32, I'm at least 2 laps ahead of everyone else, but it's really grueling now.

[MightyJordan]

Finished at last. :) Went pretty well, but I had a scare on lap 57/60. I was halfway round, then all of a sudden, the car's power cut out. I ran out of fuel. :rolleyes: Fortunately, it wasn't the end of the world, as instead of spluttering to an undignified stop like you would in real life, you're simply limited to cruising at 49MPH until you get to the pits. It was my fault for getting cocky, and trying to see how the car performed on a light tank. :p

[Aaron Olive]

Oh my, my install for GT5 has now amassed to 12GB, whoa. :|

[Livin in a box]

Got this game on Friday, enjoying it so far and on A-spec I'm on level 7.

Only complaints I have right now are the awful shadows, most noticeable at the beginning of each race, and no damage. It's really starting to get on my nerves now that there's no damage immediately, can someone please tell me when I can expect to see some damage?

[Aaron Olive]

Mwa ha ha ha, i finally got my hands on this grubby thing FINALLY. :shiftyninja:

[MightyJordan]

^ Argh, jealous! :cry: I think I'm still a long way from getting the X1. I'm only level 25 at the moment. :(

full damage in arcade from the start...i think theres some at lv.10 and full at lv.40 but i could be mistaken. it was mentioned a couple (man) pages back in this thread

shadows really disappoint me each time i start a race, that and the tearing, so much tearing

The challenge to get the car is super hard man, good luck when you get to it cause it's frustrating.

[MightyJordan]

What level do you have to be at to unlock the challenge? I'm running out of events to finish now to level up. I've completed all the Special events (still got to get gold on a few of them though), got gold on all championships on the first three A-Spec tiers, with just one to go on the Expert Series, and two on the Extreme Series, then the remaining 8 endurances to go.

You unlock the challenge at level 30, to level up easier try doing all of the special events as they give a lot of XP for Golding them, but as others said (let the grinding begin) as you will have to do already unlocked events repeatedly to make any progress to the next unlocked event and level.

Also here is a spreadsheet with everything you might need or want to know GT5 Spreadsheet

Ha. I remember running out of fuel on my first endurance race in Forza 3. I wasn't happy.

I haven't gotten to the endurance races in GT5 yet.
