One more question,lol (i admit, i\'m retarded with this game outside of the driving..i dont get the tuning, how to get better cars, whether to buy/win/buy a used car, etc, etc. Even the driving i\'d probably get killed online)

Plus I want to figure this stuff out during the beginning races before I move on to the cooler, more expensive cars. I\'m only on beginner still since I\'ve been doing all the licences and special races too

Anyway, On beginner races like the Vitz, Japanese Classic races, and European classic (i think its \'european\'), I have a car for each of those races but theyre\' extremely shitty compared to the other racers so I\'m getting killed. Do I need to upgrade my current cars (kind of sucks to spend money on a crap car) or wait till I get a better car/buy a different car to compete in those races?

Well, for any race/championship, check the list of participants, so you get an idea of type of cars and horse power they have. Take a similar car with similar performance and you will have fun(I go with less powerful cars mostly to have a more challenging race, otherwise I win too easy). If you feel your car is a shame compared to the group, just upgrade a bit, it\'s not expensive.

I\'m having a lot of fun with GT5, now busy with the Expert Nascar Special events and Extreme races.

I have 6 b-spec drivers all at level 27-28. You need to use any 4 of them for the endurance races. They do level up pretty quickly when you add new drivers so eventually they will be a similar level.

I just pick any 4 of them and set it going then go to bed or whatever. They have not lost an endurance race yet.

Any other screenshot whores? I thought keeping the blur of moving would look better than it looking crystal clear but it looks kind of shitty unfortunately

yea i\'m having a bit of a problem of balance with the game. Either my car sucks so much compared to the others that I dont stand a chance, or its equally as good/better than the others that I end up dominating. Part of it is the big jumps from upgrades

I hate being frustrated so I\'ve been opting for the \'dominating\' by upgrading cars more than i probably could\'ve

Yep, this is one thing that should be changed/improved in future GT games. Devs should put a limit on the power in most races, so you don\'t have the "problem" to master races and win with your hands down. Why to lose time in finding the right upgrades to have fun ? Anyway, if the best of your opponents has a car with 350 HP, I generally go with a car with 300 HP, sporting tires and suspensions to have fun in tracks which are not too fast.
If your car is not competitive enough, just add FEW upgrades and try again.

In the way it is now, we have more freedom, flexibility and you can do whatever you want; in the other way, with power limit, improving the opponents driving skills, etc, it could be more realistic; just a thought.

ps: Some of the expert Special events are very challenging, didn\'t get all Gold yet.

[size=+1]Gran Turismo 5: New update coming this month[/size]

Quote

For those waiting for a new Gran Turismo 5 update, Polyphony Digital’s Kaz Yamauchi has provided a timeslot as to when you can expect one to hit. Gran Turismo 5 released exclusively on the PlayStation 3 in mid-November and has seen a number of patches since launch to fix and tune minor game elements. Another update will be coming to the game very soon according to Yamauchi.

When asked on Twitter when the next update would come, Kaz replied with: “Will be updated in mid-February.” February is an incredibly short month, so the update won’t be too long off. No details as to what the update will contain or fix, but after being on the market for several months now, what do you hope is tuned in this upcoming update?

I\'m at level 24 now, but with LBP2 just purchased, GT5 levels will go up slower

I bet it\'s just generic fixes, possibly adding official support for more steering wheel models.

nothing to get players salivating over.

I\'d actually like to see a save feature during championships and endurance races, the game is crying out for that.

also, the ability to save car setups. me and a friend were talking about that last week, it\'s a joke that such a feature is not already in there.

Who\'s playing on-line ?

Cerberus · « **Reply #189 on:** February 25, 2011, 05:45:19 PM »

I haven\'t played online yet, having said that, I\'ve not been playing it at all lately. my PS3 has been relatively unused since I got my new pc.

I\'ve not really been that bothered by the online side of the game because from what I can gather, it\'s full of idiots who just want to ram into you to win at any cost.

I\'d consider playing it with people on my friends list, I just don\'t care for playing online against random shitbags who just want to drive you off the road.

eh eh, I couldn\'t say it better. I only play MP with my friends, so many random idiots are on the net, with a so low level in terms of skills, maturity, etc...

I hit another wall with this game. I have 3 million saved up, but people are telling me to save up another 2 million to get the GT5 f1 car...but i find it stupid to spend that much \'money\' on a standard car. If I drop all that cash (aka my time) on a car, itll be a premium car

But I\'m at the extreme races (and a few in expert), and once i finish \'Like the Wind\' ill get a car that will help me win a handful of other races till I get an F-1 car...only problem is I cant win the Like the Wind race. Supposedly people are beating it with the furai and/or the Zonda R (both of which I have..fully upgraded). But I still cant win the races

and i dont know nearly enough about tuning to do anything substantial enough in that area

Have you checked the oil if it needs change for the Zonda? Many tend to forget to change the oil in their cars and they dont get the full performance of their upgrades

I assume you are referring to the A-Spec, right?

Anyways, the F1 car although its a standard it does wonders in beating a shitload of races without effort. You can buy it and use it in various B-Spec races that allows it to race which will give you back lots of money and unlock many cars easily
