GT5 Prologue - PS3 - arrives tomorrow!

[gorrie]

I've ordered online Andy, and gone for picking it up rather than posting. Is it OK to pick up from Ocean Terminal or do I need to trek through to the weeg ?

[Andy G]

could get it from the office in Musselburgh?

[gorrie]

That would do nicely... I'll drop you an email later on your amp3 address.

Well, played it now, and bloody hell, its amazing!!

only one thing, anyone else try to update the game then find the update fails?!

Supposedly, I'm told, you cancel the initial update, then try and to the TV stuff from in-game and it'll update and succeed from there.

hmm shall try that later, meanwhile, PS3 off, time to do some work!!

[Andy G]

Think Shug is on the money. A similar thing happened with the Japanese version - haven't had time to get mine out of the warehouse yet

[gorrie]

My update is failing regardless how I try... so, no online available until it succeeds

Tried through 'news' & 'tv' & 'online'... goes for a bit then fails.... will try tonight again.

likewise... me thinks its just the amount of people trying to update it, considering the PSN still hasn't got GT5PRO on it, i think there will be quite a few folk running out to buy it and update it today!!

[Paolo]

..update took forever to download and install. Up and running now!!

feel free to add me...

Managed to get the download at 23:00... played 1 game which was a bit jumpy (servers probably still getting hammered).. started 10th, managed a 3rd (lost 2nd on last corner)...

Looking forward to some decent shots tonight. I'll add you Paolo but I don't think there is a function to be able to choose opponents just yet.

[Paolo]

...no tuning either I take it??

The C class race, to pass everyone in 1 lap (integra type r) is good. Took me quite a few go's.

Shame you can't just race friends??

[davejc]

spent a little too much time playing it last night managed to get thru class C and B, Class A's going to take ages!!

not tried the online bit yet, I thought the whole point in it was so you can challenge your friends to a race?!

usernames davejc, add me if you want!

2 classes in 1 night???

Your thumbs must be sore this morning!!

[gorrie]

Done C & B... and got 2 left to complete A.... but I've run out of credits & can't afford the Fezza or the M3 at the moment, so I can't even have a go at those races just now.

It's good that you earn credits when racing online, so you can buy more cars. I've not worked out if tuning is possible, but I was racing against a V6 Clio online earlier and it said (tuned) next to it...
