I've played 360 games like that, but the one bonus is that 360 updates are many orders of magnitudes faster than PS3 updates.

I was excited about picking up a new title tonight.

 

[randay]

update?!?!?!?!

 

[Sadaiyappan]

Are you playing it with a force feedback wheel? If so which wheel are you using? The experience is much better with a wheel.

 

[randay]

he must be tearin shit up by now

 

[BRObedoza]

can you also update us when you hit the power button? and then change video inputs on the tv?

haha how is it?

 

[blurredvision]

Damn it, I want to play, too. I guess I'll wait another 3 weeks...*sigh*.

 

[dmw16]

Hopefully my PS3 will arrive by the time GT5 comes out. Damn ebay people not communicating.

I think most of the 360s suicide due to exhaustion from over utilization, not loneliness.

 

[Modeps]

Wait, what do you mean "installing"? Don't tell me this is Capcom-like...

I think he meant 2.2 update.

we may never find out cus i think he syringered our faces.

 

[biggestmuff]

I guess the game ate him.

Syringered.

OK, been playing it since the OP. great game. Lets run through some first inpressions:

- Feels like GT4 with better GFX/Physics. I guess this is the point and it is good
- Does not feel like a 'Demo'. Feels like a full game.
- Online is OK, but it matches you up with players. I can't play with buddies.
~Online is a ramming battle. :| I got a barrier penalty for being rammed from behind into said barrier. :| ++
- It's easy to earn credits and therefore cars.
- Online is a ramming battle and good clean races are rare, but good when you get them.
- GFX are amazing. Car dynamics feel very good, but geared more toward easy control, not so twitchy (Not tried Pro physics yet)
- Online is a ramming battle.

I'm just using a regular controller.

Ask away! (I'm hitting the sack, so answers tomorrow...! lol)

Nope. Already had the 2.20 update on it. It goes like this:

- HDD install
- Update

All in you will be loking at 25-40 mins before you get a game in. Add another 20+ for 2.20 if you don't have that.

WIN?

2 questions:

1.) So there's absolutely no options for custom online play, just simply a single button to throw you into a race?
2.) Do online matches seem to typically devolve into ramming battles?

 

[randay]

sweet!

just one question:

1. do you think it is worth the $40.

 

[aphex]

One question from me as well;

1. Is the online game a ramming battle?
