As someone who hasn't played since GT4, what was GT5's like? I loved being able to manage the longer endurance races, or use the camera angles that were never really suitable for racing.

I understand it was a separate mode, and you couldn't switch it on or off during races.

Also b-spec mode didn't allow you to fast forward, one of the most useful features from 4.

B-Spec in GT5 was a poo poo mode, the AI was really dumb, bad and frustrating. It should be better here if what they say about the AI actually fighting for positions now instead of driving in single file is true.

This is also very true. To be fair, it was even worse in 4, but I mostly used b-spec in 4 for the longer races where you had to pit, in which I'd build up a massive lead before handing the car off to the braindead AI driver.

An AI driver did this in the last 2 hours of the Nurb 24 hour race and I had to redo the whole thing. I had done about 4 hours of a-spec in that race :smithicide:

Alright 2 pm pst or so or whenever here is all of the races and stuff in no general order and we can do other specs if you want. Hope you guys come out for one last hilarious hurrah.

Looking at old races I think I'll throw out specs to get ready with. I'm not certain on PP and stuff like that but go with it.
Veyrons and Suzuki Swift at Top Gear Test Track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5OIpuWtJBA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q--5V6i3dg

Transmission is open, setup is default unless different, power, aero is adjustable.

NASCAR at the ring in the dark in the rain, dear god. Own setup, Racing Soft
GT500 at Suzuka, 600 PP, Racing Soft
Sambabus at Monaco upgrade everything, Sports Soft
FGT at Indy Own setup, Racing soft
1 lap of terror with Cobras Comfort Hard/Soft at Laguna, we'll just take the default from the garage
Muscle cars at Davebo or my jump track 450 pp, Sports soft
5 lap Nurburgring enduro with Trans-Am cars (Trans-Am rules, look in OP)
SS7 with X2010 or whatever, screw around with your transmission
Go-Karts at Rome, most powerful go karts don't remember the name
Hot Hatches at Trial Mountain, 420 pp, sports soft
Luxury Yachts at Cape Ring, 500 pp, sports soft
Prototypes at Le Mans 700 pp, Racing Soft
GT cars at Daytona RC, 630 pp, Racing soft
RX7s at Spa, 440 pp, Sports soft
Modern high end cars at Tokyo, 600 pp, racing soft
GT-Rs at Eiger rally track, 475 pp, dirt/snow tires of course
Kei cars, 350 pp, sports soft
Veyrons, 660 pp, racing soft

These are all suggestions and can toss around ideas for track and cars, but I think these are pretty much all of the good specs and tracks we've mainly raced at.

And one thing should we continue the CCC name, should we bump it up to CCCC so we have 6 C's or have a new name when GT6 drops?

After seeing the debacle going on with Forza 5, and how much they are seriously trying to improve with GT6, I came *this* close to pre-ordering GT6. I'm telling myself I won't pre-order, and just wait one-three days for thread reaction here. I am seriously concerned about load times though.

What issues are you having? it should just work without issues. The options menu is where you would want to look, you'll see your wheel in there.

People are starting to play the final version now. Gaming journalists have the game now, but they aren't allowed to say anything until December 6. The only negative i've heard so far is the load times for races. Load times on everything else like menu's is really fast now.

That was only a show build or whatever they are called, not a finalized version of the game anyway.

Honestly, just cleaning up all the menu tediousness is enough to get me excited. I wish the PS3 wasn't so deep in to it's life span, I'd pick up another SSD for it. Buying SSDs solely for a small handful of games gets expensive.

It was not the gold build, but it was really close to finished. We'll see how the load times are now that the game is done, and with the day one patch, but I expect it'll still be the same.

Not really, I don't expect the game to hang up and seem like it crashed like that reviewer said when loading.

It won't be worse than GT5, I played the GT Academy demo this summer and the load times were extremely fast.

That was only loading one car model though. In GT5 when PD changed the way the loading worked, the track would load really fast, but the cars took forever. A full grid of all unique cars was a pretty lengthy load time.

No, it still loaded every car one by one even if they were all the same model just like in GT5 and it was still pretty fast.

You read my mind, dude. I was actually just thinking that I bet the moon track is a Coffee Break mini-game or Special Event. So it's something you'll have access to a few times in the career mode. The Lunar Buggy you can apparently drive on any track in the game though.

I've seen this mentioned about Forza 5 multiple times, that 5 was really bad/screwed people over. Can you elaborate? I can't even remember if I bothered with 5. Horizons was disappointing, though.

Forza 5 increases prices and decreased income while also heavily pushing its microtransactions. The small fact that it has the smallest selection of cars in the series and only 14 tracks only made the problem worse.

Amazon hasn't been offering release day delivery for me lately. :( They use to all the time, so I don't understand what is wrong with them.

Do you have Prime? I've never had a problem with shipping with Prime, but my brother doesn't have Prime and apparently it now takes Amazon a week or two to ship him in-stock items (as in, they don't even leave the warehouse for a week or more). There's a lot of people complaining about that; seems they're basically making their non-Prime shipping suck to get people to pay for Prime.

Thank you for making me go check, because I wasn't sure. Yes, I have Prime still. It may just have to do with where I live now, which is 3 hours away from a Amazon distribution center, but that doesn't seem too bad?

So people on the middle east have gotten their hands on the game before the update so they're spilling a bit of information and so forth on the game. If you have a gtplanet account, I'd say start asking. Hell I'm surprised he didn't put in the OP loading times.

I checked this list a couple weeks ago against GT5 and every Ferrari that was in GT5 was in it, but I just checked it again and some are missing including the F1 cars...

I hope we get more Ferrari's via DLC. I wish we could get the LaFerrari, but that is exclusive to Forza 5. I feel like the trade off though is those 15 or so concept cars that we'll eventually get for free.

Also :lol: at some of the hardcore Gran Turismo fans on GTPlanet, complaining about how GT6 looks disappointing. I set my expectations low for this game, and i'm happy so far with what new information has been revealed today.
