GT5 is unbelieveable! Alot of people are confused though because was supposed to come out november 4th...then it was pushed back to january 1st...and then last minute they decide to have released it in a few days, which was today on the 24th. Alot of people don't even know it's out yet, they still are waiting for january lol.

I like how the first segment for the liscense test is with a Vitz RS. First car I bought was a used Nissan Silvia, turned it into a competitive beast!

eTiMaGo · 11-26-2010, 02:54 AM

top gear test track? damage? oh my.... That's the reason I did minimal research on this game, so it can really blow me away :D

2 hours to go...

Kaotic Lazagna · 11-26-2010, 03:10 AM

You're name's been added to the list on the first post.

eTiMaGo · 11-26-2010, 09:39 AM

well those *^&$%%&^$ sure kept us waiting, but it was worth it :D Only scratched the surface of the game (in a red Yaris of course), and it just feels like hanging out with an old friend :p

Interesting to see the fundamental difference between this game and Forza 3, from the makers themselves, Forza is an "automotive sandbox", more focused on tuning and upgrading, while GT5 is more of a clinical "real driving simulator", and has a more linear approach to advancement through the game.

I sadly have work to do now, back to reality

frownonfun · 11-26-2010, 01:09 PM

So I noticed there's a car maintenance section where you can get your oil changed and things like that. Is there an actual point to that or what? Like if I keep racing the same car without an oil change am I gonna blow my engine? Just wondering.

I have a 208hp Vitz now. I went with the supercharger instead of turbo. Seemed better all round. So many other things you can do to the car to make up for the hp loss by not going turbo. Oh if only I could do those things to my car in real life.

Also I know I've added a few of you guys but my PSN is frownonfun

.Kevin. · 11-26-2010, 01:22 PM

I believe it shows KMS on a car etc you can change its oil.

I started with a black yaris won some races, played online etc now I am in a black nissan skyline 1991 with 180hp and sport tires.

eTiMaGo · 11-26-2010, 01:23 PM

I did not check if it's like the previous games, an oil change as soon as you get the car (to performance oil, presumably) will give you a small power gain.

As you race the car more and more, it will require an oil change (a light will show up on the speedometer when racing), and you would lose engine power if you leave it unchanged.

Same goes with the engine and chassis refreshes, I suppose, no idea how long until they are really required, though!

As for washing the car, well, it gets less shiny over time :D

And yeah, I know what you mean about doing those kinds of mods in real life :D 150+hp without forced induction? would cost a pretty penny!

frownonfun · 11-26-2010, 01:33 PM

Now if someone would just buy me one of these I'd be all set...

interesting... would love to see the 208hp Vitz vs the 180hp Skyline... I think my money would be on the Vitz

also if 5 is like the previous versions, not doing an oil change will cause your hp to drop... i would bet that the drop will be permanent if you don't change it.

I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.
