What's the minimum config required to play GT5? If I buy an older 40GB one, will it run on that?

Yeah, it should work on any PS3 system. It's just a matter of HDD space available. I think the later models just ran cooler because they didn't have PS2 compatibility.

I'm running it on my 40GB.

.Kevin. · 11-30-2010, 05:45 PM

PS3 slim plays ps2 games?

and on a 40 gb it will roll but you cant have like call of duty on it lol its bigger than the consoles memory

Bluevitz-rs · 11-30-2010, 05:54 PM

weird, Mine's a 60GB and I don't think it'll play PS2 games.... well I never tried, but that's what I remember the guy saying when I bought it.

JBougie · 11-30-2010, 06:22 PM

None of the new PS3s play PS2 games - it was limited to one console when it originally came out, and then with the update prior to the slim version they nix'd that and now none of them are backwards compatible. Which sucks, but it's understandable why they did it.

JBougie · 11-30-2010, 06:24 PM

Here's a little guide if you want to know if your PS3 is backwards compatible or not:

about game.. GT5.. those who have played it.. how is it comparable to forza 3 in your personal opinions?

eTiMaGo · 12-02-2010, 10:46 AM

Oh boy, I could write a book here :D

Gran Turismo 5 is more or less the same game as Gran Turismo 1,2,3, and more, but more and more refined, sleeker and sleeker. Its focus is more on the driving dynamics and the skill of the player, upgrading and tuning the cars is of little details. It is, as the developers call it, the real driving simulator.

Forza 3 on the other hand, the developers call it a virtual automotive sandbox. As well as the racing aspect, there's a big focus on the upgrade and personalization of cars. Whereas in GT5 you can upgrade your engine with 3 stages of engine builds, 3 stages of turbos, etc, Forza breaks this down into smaller parts, you can buy cams, strengthened blocks, oil coolers, even engine swaps, making this aspect of the game much more close to life. Add on top of the the non-performance related stuff like paint jobs and decals, this game is more about replicating the whole car ownership experience and letting you experiment with all sorts of things.

So overall, I must say I think Forza 3 is the better game, in the sense of overall fun. I'd call it a simulation with an arcade feel.
But, GT5 still has this racing purity aspect to it, and it really is a continued evolution of the previous games. And it has some really cool features like a wide range of odd cars (I got a WWII VW Kubelwagen....), Go-kart racing, rallying, and the Top Gear Test Track

So there you have it... I can't recommend one game over the other, each has its strengths and weaknesses... So... buy an Xbox AND a PS3 and enjoy the best of both worlds

enviri · 12-02-2010, 07:52 PM

yeah sure i got a dodge ram i can lend ya. question is can ya handle it? :P

.Kevin. · 12-02-2010, 08:39 PM

How do we even get a truck? I was also trying to do this.

I got a fully upgraded almost 800 hp with like 600 tq Dodge Challenger atm unstoppable lol

and forza is for HURR FAST CARS AWESOME MAN while gt5 is moreso the beauty of cars.

Also what is the second song in the intro of gt5 not the piano one

47_MasoN_47 · 12-02-2010, 08:43 PM

I think GT5 is just about being pretty. As far as gameplay it doesn't hold a candle to Forza IMO.

enviri · 12-02-2010, 08:59 PM

PSN ID is xienji.

the truck has 725lb/ft torque so look out for midrange rpms lol. i left the tranny stock so you can play with 4 gears lol

you can also use it in the professional league muscle car champs and win. easily.

JBougie · 12-02-2010, 09:53 PM
