Thanks smile.gif Actually, that makes a lot of sense. I'm working through B-Spec and it seems clear that eventually those 24 hour endurance races could actually be 24 real-hours. Well, maybe not, but this looks like it might have some use then.

Anyone know if you end up having more than 1 driver and end up swaping them in and out of the car in longer races. Just started and want to ensure I don't invest ALL my time in 1 driver :p

You don't get to pick the gift car btw. :p

And I wouldn't be surprised if it is a set car too, lol.

FUUUUUUUU

Man that sucks, they made it seem like a gift that I can choose. So will just get it tonight if I play.

just to clear this up all of the endurance races are based on real time, also when you do get to the 24Hr events you should have 6 drivers to swap out as each of them will eventually get tired and mess up.

I haven't got that far, but it was becoming clear that this is what was going to happen. Thanks for clarifying.

It's a ball-ache though having to build each additional driver up to an equal level as your others. I'm putting a lot more hours into B-Spec than I am in A-Spec, even though I'm further into A-Spec. My drivers are level 11 I think, but they are racing level 15 races, because I've completed the others. This makes it hard for them to do well without spending a fortune on my cars. The answer, it seems, is to go back and race in races at your current level even if you've already completed them, which seems like a bit of a waste.

Yes it is pretty bad but what makes it worse is that you cannot pause the game in B-Spec.

POWER!!!! Doesn't always win races :p Just realised that in the early races you can simply pump the BHP up and win every race, but when you get to the extreme series (lvl 20+) its much more difficult. This is a good thing, but now how to tune a car..... Any GT5 guide out there? I've only seen the GT4 one on GTPlanet, actually I'm looking for a tuning calcuator as well some guides are in-depth and I'm outa my league :blush:

Where are the tuning options? I can see where to change tyres, but what about adjusting the ride height or tweaking the gear ratios? Where's all that gone?

If you want to do it outside of races, you have to go into the garage, select the car, then there's a Tuning button next to Change Car.

Yeah, I got that far, but then what? I can choose which parts to put on the car, but I can't see how to make adjustments. Hmmm, I need to look a bit deeper into this because I'm obviously missing something.

If the part is adjustable, then there should be a little icon on the right side of the part when you go to pick the parts during tuning. Select that, and then you make the adjustments.

Ok say you bought the Adjustable Suspension. Go to your Garage-> Tune-> Suspension. Then move your cursors to Select the little dial button on the side of Adjustable Suspension.

Don't need a video to show this sort of stuff, anyone who couldn't see how it had been set up in a corner vs a straight was a fool to the usual fanboyish nonsense.

Though I had already posted a few videos after someone posted the first one showing the AI was perfectly fine at getting past you when you don't purposely park in the corner of a track.

Not to mention, we don't need a video to show us that the AI needs work, because if you played the game, it plainly obvious.

Have to agree with you there. I am level 17 and still have not seen an improvement in AI. There are two types of AI, the 3 designated to take first, second and third. The rest are designated to block me and have no physics to worry about. The AI does not promote racing. It promotes moding my car so that I can blow past them and then drive the track all by myself. A good AI is very possible, F1 2010 has a decent AI and makes the racing fun, GT5 AI makes the game frustrating or boring. As for the video, yes sometimes the AI will go around you but most of the time they will smash right into then turn you side ways and keep the gas to the floor pushing me like a snowplow so yes the AI sucks.

Should have waited. It literally hurt spending the cash on tuning up that clunker. :laugh:

I done it earlier after doing the intermediate mercedes school, earned quite a bit.

And yes, it hurt laugh.gif

    • 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 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.
