Reports trickling in that the update server is being hammered / down, which is causing the game to hang.

Currently people are saying just wait at the hung screen and it will eventually start, or disco the ps3 from the net

Finally got round to watching Inception, very good film, loved the "layers" feel to the whole thing.

Also tried to watch Scott Pilgrim, what the hell is that all about, got about 40mins in and had to turn it off, awfull, awfull film, I guess its ok if you are 12, or have the mental age of a 12 year old, but other than its truely terrible.

r.e. mechanical damage.....

Kaz has just tweeted that it will "Come later", as to what this means, i.e. it is unlocked through level progression, or it will be patched in the future, is anyones guess.

Quite why there is so much confusion over such a fundimental feature is beyond me.

Except he says "you don't need to reach level 40 to unlock damage, you just need a lot of patience and a destructive streak"

Which would point to the fact that damage is there from the get go, but you just need to batter the crap out of the car for an hour to get it to show

Quote from Nadeo4441 :All your posts in this thread are like this, what is the matter with you? You don't have to comment here if you don't like GT5, which is quite obvious that you don't.

Do me a favour, I've owned EVERY version of GT, I've had a copy of GT5 on preorder for ever, of course I like the GT series, and I am sure I will enjoy GT5.

But all this blinkered fanboy shite is ridiculous.

Are people actually buying this "Reach a certain level to unlock damage" thing?.

Why on earth would they do that, its ridiculous.

Surely the game would tell you if you'd unlocked something as important as tyre wear and damage?

Quote from Fordman :
I mean, look at that farmer, that shot that bloke to breaking in, and got put away for Attempted Murder.(Yes these are real stories )

I take it you mean Tony Martin?

LOL, talk about half the story.....

You forgot the bit about the unarmed robber being shot with an illegally held Winchester pump action shotgun though!.

The reason he got sent down was because, according to the letter of the law, he used WAY more than reasonable force.

According to OPM (Official playstation mag)....

Quote :"Curious to test my virtual opponents' skill, I slam on the anchors and my immediate followers waste little time in powering past," it reads.

So far, so good for Sony's much delayed racer then.

"But just as things are looking promising, carnage ensues," the feature continues.

"Even though my car is easily avoidable, parked on the side of a wide straight, I watch the rear view hoping the next batch of rapidly approaching cars do the smart thing and veer around.

"They don't, and in that fraction of a second, the impact reverberates beyond the DualShock3.

"Gran Turismo 5's AI remains a long way short of passing the Turing Test."

OPM goes on to say that it seems as though AI has lost some much needed attention to other areas of the game such as graphics and content.

Ultimately, though, the mag labels the game as "unquestionably the most complete Gran Turismo experience to date. All those years waiting have been worth it."

Waste of money?, its all relative, people spend far, FAR more on things like fags and booze, which I personally think is a complete waste of money.

Each to their own, gaming is a pretty cheap hobby these days, what with buying games of the internet, and how much they are discounted.

What about those that play both then?

I have heard that you can actually do a background install, where it will install content as required, rather than doing it all before you start playing.

You know what, you could chat shit and post screenshot comparisons till the cows come home, but this is the fact of the matter.......(and I am not sure what the purpose of posting screenshots from a completely different game and trying to pass it off as Forza, smacks of desperation, but I digress.....)

GT5 is (supposedly, I haven't played it yet), the definitive next-gen console racing game, and its Sony's AAA, flagship racing product, correct?.

Right, assuming above statement is accurate, and regardless of what you think personally about the models, does 4/5th's of the vehicle content live up to that statement?, I think not.

Nuff said.

Quote from Vain :On the other hand, had they been left out everyone would be moaning about the lack of cars right now.

Meh, got to moan about something though, right?

Quote from Boris Lozac :Who gives a sh*t about standard cars..

Thats the thing though, they should have really been left out, but the only reason they've left them in is for the "1000 cars!" marketing ploy.

I'd love to see some comparison shots between some of the standard cars, and those in FLOPZILLA, hey Dustin?

Quote from Boris Lozac :If i can't level up with just the Online races and time trials, i don't know, i'll stick with those cars available at the start.. i really can't be bothered to go trough that 'career' and AI races..

Its not very clear at the moment, it seems in time trials you can choose "favorites" and "arcade cars" (and something else, I can't remember, but it wasn't "career garage" as far as I can remember), but its unclear if "favorites" are career cars or not.
