server under maintenance

evo...ooohhh same here, i saw that the News on the home page for Gt5 career did mention network issue or congestion and they did say to play off line. Like u i noticed sometimes it hangs and if one were to read the news on the main page u just sign out and it works like a charm.

wat a waste to keep on running online all the time...the game very nice, i dunno how to compare it against forza though both oso nice game with own distinct characteristics.

i find it hard to control when online some use the calsonic where by i use the stealth audi and straight phail hahahahah car got >600 hp oso can loose to 490 ++ hp car....(driver sucks as well)

hahahahahaha

cheers and hope to see you online bro !!!

LOL

hahahaha thats a no brainer man....family first ps3 2nd.

took me 4 minutes to download the update.

For your case, just change the network card which controls your WiFi, BT and LAN, it's cheap if you know how to change yourself

Yup. he did. It will be awesome if they have course maker modnation style

hm..what i have read is related to the following:

1) Improve Damage Realism
2) MP - Leaderboard & Invitation
3) Some other patches & bugs fixes to smoothen the gameplay (especially on the regular connection to the internet that slows the offline gameplay)

I got these from various sources thru other forums and articles..so not sure it is true or not... but if these are the fixes, it should make GT5 even greater!!!

My views on this
- Graphics is kinda blegh. I was kinda expecting more, but I forgot PS3 is kinda aincent and can't really do all this shebangs that you can see on the PC. they need this for the PC quickly. Other than that, it's quite cool. Effects are nicely done, and unlike Codies, the colours looks NATURAL. GOD I HATE CODIES AND THEIR BLOOM. THANK YOU POLYPHONY!

- Controls. I am using the G25, and I must say it's quite good to see that it works straight away. No steering lag (deadzone=0 on simulation woohooo!! SCREW YOU CODIES!). But lack of customising is saddening. I can't even set the steering degrees of my G25, as I prefer it to be more sensitive.

- Physics. Kinda ok'ish, but since this is not really a full blown sim I can understand. Cars tend to not behave like you expect it would some times. Suprisingly Lotus Elise is hard to drive. Wonder why

- Sounds. Immersive, awesome. Soundtrack is great, and you can hear the car's engine sound bounces back from the trackside stuffs

- Penalties. Crap. I got bumped off the track by another car and was disqualified? WTF is that? AI is kinda too enthutiastic as well. If you were racing a real person, you'd expect him/her to give the corner. BUt noooo, they still want to grind you, and making BOTH slower.

- Menu. Old. Slow. Not intuitive. They need to revamp this. make shortcuts for important places. I mean why do I need to go back -> back -> back -> back just to get back to garage, when I realised I used a wrong car?

A 7/10 from me

Hey! Thanks for bringing this up. What kind of bloody ~!@#$%^&* idiot would have that piano part as the opening??!! Who the heck, in his sanest mind would do that? What a failure!

I finished downloading in 3'59.999

I win LOL

thanks. will go search abit on the model used by the old 60gb phat. maybe consult you a little after searching ya.

Just a question bro, you on Streamyx?
Because I noticed people with unifi has no issue ( I didnt get a single cent on this ) I have several friends, even with 4mpbs streamyx, still problem. and several guys on 5mbps unifi, no issues. Just a theory tho

Wondering if we could make a course out of NKVE from entry point Mutiara or Damansara and straight to Klang Bukit Raja and back again....i think that'd be cool.

thanks man. do you have the links? want to copy pasta

i'm on 5mb unifi. It happened to me 2 days ago, doesn't happen anymore, so maybe what you say is true

yeah on streamyx 1MB (but on my router page it stated 2048 downstream ) Unifi will available next year in my area.

No problem so far. The best experience i had was torrent-ing 2GB file in 30 minutes and playing CS on SG server with a ping of 5ms

Comments from Gran Turismo Series Producer, Kazunori Yamauchi

The elements that make up automobiles all originally came from space. And when viewed from space, the footprints that identify the presence of man on Earth are the roads that cut a path through the wilderness. And cars are what speed down those roads. Gran Turismo 5's opening cinematic movie contains these three motifs: elements, cars, roads.

We wanted to visualize the world of cars from a different perspective than the flashy display of cars you would see at a motor show. The War Sonata played by Lang Lang for Gran Turismo 5 gives the footage its rhythm, its tension, and above all else, its power.

Yamauchi-san, can you please come to my office? I have something important to talk with you pertaining your selection of song in the opening.
