anyone else bothered by the shitty selection of races, like the truck race, all the classic car, f'in Lupo and Vitz races? god that sucks... imo, there should be more races that require modern day cars, which by GT5's standard are rarely ever needed.

GT games always had disappointing race selection through the first 2 classes. It's a tradition at this point to make players suffer through 20+ hours of ******** to get to what they all want.

A pretty good video:

YouTube - GT5 auto-pilot

i did something just as crazy.... i was doing a nascar race and i wanted to see how badly a nascar car would take damage so i ran the opposite way on Daytona and i hit the lead car coming the opposite way at full speed..... what happened next was hillarious... it shot that car so far up into the sky it almost disappeared... i tried it again and the result wasnt the same so it was one of those weird one time things i think.... seriously it shot the other car up in sky almost off screen my car didnt even really move

That is way too funny!!! :bowrofl:

:werd: thats a hilarious glitch

It's not a glitch. That's what happens if you land on top of a cpu car.

I don't know about you guys but I really love the chill lounge music and laid back jazz soundtrack of Gran Turismo games. It just adds that touch of class to the game and keeps that sub gently humming while I fix up my stuff.

Anyway, I was browsing though the music list, which you can customize fully to play each song at certain parts of the game and found that the entire (awesome) menu soundtrack from GT5: Prologue is in there, but they're all deactivated. So unless you turn them on you'll never hear them.

Did I mention the GT5:P menu music was awesome? So yeah, you should go turn those on in menus right now...

The only thing I don't like is that using a custom soundtrack for racing completely turns off the game's own music during the races. I liked a few of those songs and had to actually download them and add them to my HDD just so they'd be in the mix.

Should we start a new thread with PSN names?

Speaking of GTA how is the first set of challenges or whatever it is? I won't be able to play until mid next week. ;/

It's not starting till 2011...only the registration is open

Just bought a PS3+GT5 package at Best Buy 2 days ago, which means I now have all three consoles. Got it for $349 and they give you a $50 gift card and a Blu-ray movie with it. Not a bad deal at all considering I already had a $100 gift card burning a hole in my pocket.

I like the game overall, but is anyone else disappointed with the non-premium, "standard" cars. The modeling on some of those look like they belong on the PS-One. I would have much rather prefered more "premium" cars and junk all the standard ones altogether.

its open now... 600mb update gives you GT Academy 5 new A spec races where you can earn over 2 Million dollars
