I was about to order this on Amazon but it's telling me it doesn't come out until Wednesday...but it's really tomorrow...right?

RagnarokAngel posted:

He's probably referring to the fact that most games come out in the US on a tuesday, so his confusion is warranted.

GOD DAMMIT



But thanks for being your usual Feenix self, Feenix.

Never change, Feenix.

So, what's everybody going to do first when they get the game (besides spending an hour installing it)?

GreatGreen posted:

Well that's easy info to get. The cars you can buy from the dealers are premium, the cars you buy used are standard!

Not too sure how to tell what the prize cars are, though. You might need a spreadsheet for that to avoid those standard cars... if you're a huge sperglord whose video game good taste is beyond that of lowly, cockpit-less standard cars, that is.

I asked the dude at EB Games to sell me it early and he said he wouldn't, not even for a million bucks. Even if he earned like 22k a year (generous) that's like 45 years pay. Dude has no sense.

Ugh, is it bad that I'm regretting getting release-day shipping? I thought for sure that would be the fastest way to get this in my hands... oh well.

I know this had been touched upon, but wasnt the release date always going to be "Tuesday, November 23rd", ever since it was announced?


When did this "Oh wait, its actually wednesday" thing happen? Im so pathetic i went to about 3 differant stores on my lunch hour, none of which would sell it to me. I got them to bring it out of the back at target, but the register wouldnt let her sell it when she tried to ring me up..


I was taking out my wallet to pay for it! So close!

I imagine this all happening with a triumphant score in the background along with you running out proudly in slow motion, the game held high over your head while everyone, including the manager, cheers for you.

The confusion comes because the official US Gran Turismo site for a few hours announced that it was coming out on the 23rd. That article was shortly pulled and replaced with the correct date.

Can you have your b-spec driver race online with other players and/or their b-spec drivers?

Before I install this how much HDD space does it take? I remember reading a while ago it would take a whopping 12gb but the back of the case says only 256mb.

Can someone please verify?

magical_ape posted:

You can also just not full install straight away, after a few hours of playing my install was at 1.11 gb.

(This was before i did the full install.)

What does screen tearing look like exactly? I guess i'll know when I get my copy, but surprisingly I don't believe i've ever ran into a game that has it. At least not on the PS3.

Here is a horribly extreme example of what it looks like.

Yeah if you're one of the lucky people who doesn't notice screentearing then don't try to find out what it is, just enjoy the game because it really is one of those things you can't unsee.

THE HORROR!


Seriously hoping this thread doesn't devolve into nothing but how we all hate standard cars, we get that, seriously.

Woah, why on earth would they do that???

Gran Turismo 5 - Woah, why on earth would they do that???

Yup, we will be seing this a lot in the next couple of days as more goons get the game lol.

I really like this game, but some things have me scratching my head as well.

At first I started playing without installing. Then the Fanatec wheel started vibrating and randomly selecting things, which I've seen before in Prologue, so I quit. Then when I restarted the game (with the sixaxis instead) I got (and remain) stuck on a screen that says:

code:

Confirmation

Accessing game data
Please do not switch off the system while the HDD access indicator is flashing. 

OK

Except the HDD light isn't flashing, it won't let me select OK, and it's been 10 minutes. I have no idea what the gently caress is going on but I'm pissed off and bored now. I tried quitting the game and deleting the save which prompted me to download the patch again when I tried restarting, but nothing happens past the annoying "accessing game data" screen.

Then I read that some of you are having problems because of the network, so I unplugged the ethernet cable but no, still the same loving screen.

I think I might have hosed something up, but compared to the userfriendly Xbox 360 and Forza I'm not impressed so far.

Dr JonboyG posted:

Sadly, I have tried that, and it makes no difference.

Guy LeDouche posted:

just a confirmation - there's no way to speed up time in b-spec, right?

Future patches to update poo poo that we need are looking promising. Someone mentioned that Dec 7th is another planned patch date?
