Gaming Gran Turismo 5
- Thread starter Garethw
- Start date
If you had it at this time of day would you play it?
The perks of being a student on a Micky Mouse course at a Micky Mouse university i believe. Plus, it's officially the easter holidays.
Apparently an error occurred during the downloading of the update. Massive sigh at that. Looks like i can still play the game though, just doubt it will go online.

How have you lot got it? Say it's out tomorrow and I can't find it on the PSN.
I pre-ordered it from GAME last week, and it arrived, to my surprise, this morning.
Ah, nice one I got up early this morning for it aswell
8:50am ffs.
Should be made available on PSN tonight and in the shops tomorrow. I look forward to bitzing you all online.

Any idea what time tonight? And yeah, should be awesome online although I must stress racing games tend to be my bitch!
Not sure to be honest, they tend to vary. Just keep checking every hour or so.
Yeah I will do, what's it like anyway? Really good or..
Brilliant. The full game is still around a year away aswell, so it is going to be immense! Hopefully they will release more tracks on the PSN to download, as there are only 7 currently available. Well worth the £20.
This game really shines online. It's fantastic. I had such an urge to win that i don't really have when playing other games online, i'm usually relaxed when i play, but i really wanted to win in all 4 games i played just now. Needless to say, i came 4th, 4th, 5th and 11th

I don't think you can race against who you want yet - I think that it simply picks the other players for you.
Lucky bastards! I've been playing the demo for the last hour
Can't wait until tomorrow!

The demo of the demo that must be then?!?
Yes lol, the one from the Jap PSN store.
still not on PSN store for me, so gutted I can't take the waiting
I can't take the waitingPS Store is normally updated on Thursdays at 6pm GMT/BST, you have 10 minutes to wait.
Hope so mate, don't think I have enough alcohol to drown my sorrows if I have to wait until tomorrow
EDIT: Just wondering with the final GTAIV trailer due today, would they postpone the update further, so that they could accommodate it?
It's on the PS now - downloading....
Picked mine up this morning from Gamestation.
The in-car-view is brilliant! It feels sooooo realistic.

Got it a couple of hours ago. Not downloaded the update to get online yet. Got myself a orange Focus. Walked the sunday cup.
Just turned the game off without saving since earning a further 120,000credits ffs.
im tryin to play but its being gay, why do we have to instal games ffs i instaled it, then it said you need to download an update, this is taking longer to download than install the game
now it comes up with download failed
now it comes up with download failed
Got myself a ps3 today with this and rainbow six vegas 2,well impressed with the graphics.Now waiting 10 years for the system update to play online.
For the people having trouble with the update. Cancel it, go into the game, then go onto GTTV and use the update from there. Don't ask my why, but it downloaded fast and actually worked when i used that method.
Right have been waiting to get a PS3 til this games comes out (good deals on now), anyways so is this game not a full version of the game?! Is it like a demo? Also, I've heard mentions of F1 being in this game...can someone ellighten me further please?
It's a 20 quid demo. One F1 car is in it.

Think of it as GT5 BETA. GT5 will not be out for another year at least.

ahh I seeee....
cannot beat the time trila with the cappucino or come first in the honda accord overtaking challege
grrrr
grrrr
For what it is, it's well worth 20 quid, it has a lot more to it than a lot of full priced games. Ok, only 70 or so cars instead of the 900 that will be in GT5, only 6 main tracks instead of the god knows how many GT5 will have, no online matchmaking as the full GT5 will have, but for 20 quid it's worth the price and will get updates as the GT5 release approaches.
Me neither - i have tried loads of times. Best i have is silver in each. I have given up and moved to Class B.
Just a suggestion, but try accessing the replays of those with the best times, and see what they are doing right and you are doing wrong. Trouble is, some people are playing it with a wheel, and with a pad you will not be able to do quite that well.
Here's a YouTube of some bloke in the F1 car. I think the comparison is Schumacher himself.

Trial Mountain here we come
Wooh wooh wooh!
No wonder this game is taking so long, as they are fecking about.

Get the fecking game out you bastards!!!
At least now it seems that they have improved the engine for the full GT5, as it says that it is outputting at Full HD 1920x1080, whereas Prologue renders an anamorphic 1280x1080 image.

Gran Turismo in 4 times the resolution of Full HD
Polyphony Digital also presented two technological trials for the next generation at this event. Both of the presentations, were founded on the philosophy of “achieving the highest possible quality” held over the years by Gran Turismo.
One of these, was a time trial competition using Sony’s newest digital cinema projector, the “SRX-S110”. Gran Turismo 5 prologue is already in Full HD resolution at 1920 x 1080 pixels, providing the highest resolution possible in today’s TV content. However in this time trial, the Full HD image was increased to twice the resolution both vertically and horizontally (4x the surface area), enabling game play at an ultra high resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. This was performed by connecting and synchronizing four Playstation 3’s outputting a quarter of the image each at 1920x1080 pixels, but you must remember this demands an extremely high quality image from the source that can withstand the ultra high resolution. It can be said that this demonstration was only made possible, because the source image was Gran Turismo.
What supported this time trial on the display side, was the newest digital cinema projector from Sony, the SRX-110. This “4K”SXRD”(*1) projector is the next generation in projector technology, enabling a resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels, equivalent to the high resolution image of 35mm film. The high 4000:1 device contrast ratio and a response time of 5 milliseconds, also adds to the level of breathtaking image expression introduced here.
The crowd was simply amazed by the clarity of the image displayed on the massive 220 inch screen, and the players who participated in the time trial expressed their excitement of how perfectly in focus the screen is even close up, and at the quality of Gran Turismo.

The Ultra-Real, 240fps Demonstration
The other display was a playable demonstration on a Nano-Spindt FED / Field Emissions Display developed by Sony, with a frame rate of 240fps (240 frames per second).
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue has already achieved a frame rate of 60p (progressive), but in this demo, Gran Turismo was made playable at four times this frame rate at 240fps.
The SXRD demonstration described above used four PS3’s to improve image quality, but this used the same to increase the frame rate.

Hmmm.... this has got me thinking and is something I alluded to (the reason for the gigabit ethernet port on PS3) 7 months ago in this post in the GTAIV thread: https://www.redcafe.net/4453641-post339.html
I really do not think that we will see a PS4 anytime soon, even if Microsoft release a new console I don't think we will see PS4, but rather PSThree. This might sound like madness, but looking at what they are doing here with GT5, Sony could replace the PS3 with a PSThree for new machines by placing an extra Cell and RSX in the box with an extra 1GB of RAM, with an add-on for existing PS3 owners that would simply be a slender rectagular box that your current PS3 would sit on top of and connect to the PS3 with an ethernet cable. Inside would be a Cell, RSX, and 1GB of RAM, with 2 gigabit ethernet ports on the back. New games at that point could do what GT5 here is doing, if on a PS3 it would run at a lower resolution/framerate, but if on a PSThree or a PS3 with the add-on box, would up the detail/frame rate/resolution. The entire thing is highly scalable. It would also be very cheap to do.

Wild speculation. Though if Sony do produce it, it could make things very interesting.
Yes, I know it all sounds a little odd, but why does PS3 have a gigabit ethernet port and why are Polyphony Digital doing this type of thing? It's certainly not for laughs.
You're maybe right, but it will turn out to be a Jap only release, like so many of the major add ons for the PS2. They could have made the original PS2 half the size, if they didn't have the massive gap for a HDD, which was never released.
