Re: [update] GT5 Gets released 24th Nov
 

Hi guys, i've been playing GT5 now for it seem like ages.

I've managed to get all my licenses on gold bar 1..... forget which license it is in but, its the one with the cones..... so frustrated i must have spent hours trying that one alone, only because i have all the others, all with using a standard wireless controller.

I'm now on level 30. If any of you have reached this level yet, go into the special events and try the "Sebatian Vetel challange", fast is not the word, try playing the demo it will..... I'll let you decide.

On the endurance races I've done the first 5. I certainly won't be doing the 2 24hr races, my original PS3 will probably die lol!.

I've also managed to complete all the challenges i have done so far on gold except one.... it's in the professional series, the "Nascar Challenge". I can't get gold in that if my life depended on it. So frustrating.

Cracking game though.

The Sebastian Vetel Challenge is,,, in a word,,,, insane..

I tried it repeatedly till my eyes were watering so bad I couldn't continue,,,, I gave it up as a bad job in the end,,, its just too damn hard man

Anyone else found the any useful glitches yet ;)

Me and a mate were on last night driving underneath one of the maps, started a 200 lap race which should have taken 6 hours and it was done in about 20 mins.

Just kept driving in circles under the start finish marker and were doing a lap every 4 seconds. :D

Kerching

Not much fun but driving under the track was a giggle, it was like we'd discovered a lost city.

Hi Pabscars, which race was this? is it one of the endurance races? what level are you on?

Re: [update] GT5 Gets released 24th Nov
 

PD patched them. READ 1.08 update notes.

B-spec online driver glitch allows 2 friends to fill a 16 car grid buy them selves
Top 6 places filled will result in <Cr 97,000/exp <100,000 for a single 20 min race for just 1 player.

This pays out the INDY 500 endurance EXP in only 3 races. With 2 times the cash as a bonus. added.

havnt even managed to get bronze in any of the sebastian vettel races, been trying since january!

Re: [update] GT5 Gets released 24th Nov
 

I've just finished the level 32 4hr endurance race. I'm afraid thats as far as I'll go now.

I'm still using the original launch PS3. I don't want to fry it doing the remaining 9hr and the two 24hr races.... I love my PS3 too much.

Who on earth is going to sit at their PS3 for a MINIMUM of 24hrs to play a game? ? ? madness:dozey:

Re: [update] GT5 Gets released 24th Nov
 

I think most people will use B-Spec to play that race...I know its definitely the only way I'll play it. It would be nice if the PS3 (mine's a latest model 320gb Slim) would take the hammer, but unfortunately I doubt it would.

I remember way back to GT2 when I had my PSone and I played that for 8hrs straight and it burnt out the CD Drive motor :D

Re: [update] GT5 Gets released 24th Nov
 

the race is a spec AND b spec, no choice

good job it has pause

Re: [update] GT5 Gets released 24th Nov
 

Been playing this tonight after the update and there are a few instantly noticeable differences. There are some new seasonal challenges up: a new race, time trial and a drift trial. The prize money also seems to have been increased on the existing seasonal challenges.

The online collector's dealership has been updated and there are a few LMP cars up for around the cr. 2M mark, in fact the cost of the collectors cars in general has been drastically decreased: the Ford GT race car for instance is now cr. 10M instead of cr. 19M.

I couldn't even get GT5 to boot up (past the polyphony digital screen) after the v2 update...rebooted PS3 and doing system update to see if that cures it.
