Gran Turismo Supercar Comes to Life in London

[Beefcakes]

I think this car is something I want need
and I'm not even a car person, let alone a Gran Turismo person...

Less pissing about with Citroen, more finishing your game please Polyphony.

Polyphony are very keen to do anything but Gran Turismo 5. Thats the only reason they're doing Gran Turismo PsP.

Exactly. They don't want to have to fix the problems which have gone unaddressed for several iterations now, especially now that online play in Prologue introduced a whole new set of problems. But they should know that if they don't fix said problems, I will personally hunt them all down and kill them.

On topic: As a car person, I'm far more interested in the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition, a carbon-fiber bodied, 1018-horsepower, $2 million dollar beast that claims to pull 1.5gs while cornering. Oh yeah, and Koenigsegg claims a top speed of 250+ mph.

Thanks a lot, now I have to change my shirt on accoutn of all the drool that escaped my mouth.
Awesome car, I hope one finds its way stateside so I can go and see it.

Who the hell are they making these cars for?

My guess: GT 5 Collectors Edition

lol, very big box, or maybe it will just be a tin and the title is in the box?

 

[cleverlymadeup]

that looks like a very nice car, wish i could afford it

 

[Outamyhead]

Hmm, a million more than a Bugatti Veyron and yet slower, and it's a French car, so of course the interior will eventually fall apart, and rattle in odd places. Looks like a deformed R8, in fact I'd take the R8 anytime over the GT, although I'd love to drive a Nissan GT-R.

Wow...this news is veeeerry old...like nearly-a-year-old old

They've already fixed most of them

I have seen no fix for the insanely ill-conceived penalty system in Prologue, and until I do, whether it is in Prologue or in GT5, I will have no faith in Polyphony Digital.

Any other problems? You spoke of multiple?

Prologue introduced a new format for starting races, in which all starts are rolling starts, plus the cars are single file and spaced about a second apart. Especially in the online mode, the disadvantage of starting at the back can be too much to make up, even in a superior car. The AI is so bad in the single player that I can make up the 16-second gap to an equal car before the second lap of a three-lap race. This, combined with the penalty system, really hurt an otherwise fun online experience. Plus, does any real world racing series start their races with the cars so spaced out? I think not.

 

[Lord_Panzer]

That's a very expensive lemon. A very sexy, expensive lemon.

This is why I stick to sims that are based on reality, you can have a rolling or stationary start, you qualify for your position on the grid, and if you hit someone something far worse than a 5 second penalty occurs (like you wreck your car), unfortunately besides a couple of 360 games, the PC seems to be the only platform that has any racing sims that are actually... racing sims.

Certainly valid issues, fair enough. Have you posted on PD or Sony's GT Forums indicating your reservations with these features?


Morne

No. I'm not even sure how many people share my complaints. Certainly the vast majority of game reviewers didn't.

 

[The_Bat_Dan]

Only 20 exist in the real world, but everyone who plays Gran Turismo 5 gets to try this baby out...shows you why Gran Turismo is the racing sim king, eh?

Yeah because driving the car in a game, and being one of the 20 luckiest sons o' bitches in the world ever are exactly the same thing, aren't they...
