Gran Turismo 5

[Appie]

Pre-ordered off Amazon.com and it says my deliver is the 29th.. on 1 day shipping, lol. Way to go Amazon

Mine is set for Nov 30th (pre-ordered back in August). Doubt I'd get release date shipping, considering I live in Europe and really just wanted the USA CE instead of the EU CE (or Signature edition for which my country can't even join in the competition). I still find it dumb that their fastest shipping option to Europe takes 6 days at the least in their estimate, november 27th should be easily doable for express mail. What company do they use for their express mail anyway?

Was mentioned earlier in the thread I believe that you'll be able to create player lobbies and then pick your stuff from there, so it should be easy to organize BG Groups.

And yeah Aki, got you on my list already, I'm Genexi2.

Ah yeah, thought so. I think you have who you are in your little signature thingamabob.

Ahh.. yea, well I canceled my order to be delivered on the 29th and set for release date shipping for like $0.99.. so that's not bad.

Still hoping I can buy this on release date, got like 5 games now I haven't even opened yet and I'm now broke from it.

Anyway, full feature list for those interested.

i won this from the subway giveaway so i wonder how long it will be before i get the game.. i hope its within that week i would be very happy. but looking at the trophy list this game is going to take so long to platinum, getting some of the get gold on all types of tracks, and what ever the hidden trophys could be.. its going to be intense lol

[avelle]

Don't even have the words to describe it. It's going to look god damn amazing on big screen tvs. Must invest in surround system...

[Kaisha]

I wonder if there'll be any screen splash on the 800 cars that don't have a 3d cockpit.

Do the standard cars not have cockpits? I wasn't sure if the difference there just had to do with collisions or what.

[Akiyama]

this is gonna be the first car game I ever race from in the cockpit and not outside like a noob. I'm terrible at racing games, and will undoubtedly be terrible with this one as I learn shit.. but 16 man races = fun as shit. I hope it has a free roam of sorts like Burnout.

Also wow is damage shit.

Once you go cockpit view you'll never want to switch back. It really is immersive as fuck and some of the interiors of these cars are every bit as gorgeous as the exterior.

[Kaisha]

If the head tracking is effective enough I may try out the cockpit mode, otherwise I'll just stick to actually being able to see what the fuck I'm doing with the front-hood view.

[Lucavi]

I typically switch between cockpit and front-hood, with my front-hood or no-car being for serious, focused driving, and my cockpit for immersive driving. God this game looks incredible. Can we even call it a game at this point? This will be a vacation; an experience.

[Arc07]

Ughghghhghhh...

[m3lvin]

How does this game compare to forza motorsport 3?

[Lucavi]

...

So as not to simply postcount, I'll just laugh.

Hahahahahahaha...

I'm a fanatic about cockpit view now so I won't switch out of it as long as it's available. That said, I foresee a loooooot of wrecks in my future on those snowy rally tracks.

[Tajin]

PS3 limitations keep cockpit view as shitty as any other game, stupid consumer and their single monitor setup

[Kaisha]

GT5 has multi-screen support Tajin. You just.....need 3 screens and 3 PS3s to get the result.

[Akiyama]

It's sad when they post so much and so fast just to up their post count. At least his didn't consist of 'lol', and only had dumb questions in them.

Either way.. I've never been great with cockpit view, but I plan on trying it here. I'm terrible at the racing aspect of games like this, but I wanna get better at it.

[Tobi]

I was gonna ask what's cockpit view, since I haven't played a racing game in awhile, but I think I know now >.>

Are you a postcount spammer in disguise?
