And the penalties aren't in the races, you have to have 4 wheels off the road, hit a cone or really clout a car to get penalized in the licenses.

I've not been penalized unfairly in the game yet, but each to their own.

Anyone figured out if it is possible to take videos of replays and upload to Youtube etc? Either in a similar way to what BlackOps allows or other PS3 games.

yes and racers get pentalty points for it sometimes

Only done a few races so far, all my time has gone on licences really.

Licences you get disqualified for hard collisions with other cars or the wall, small knocks are ok (this includes the AI bumping you).

Arcade races don't have any penalties. Hit the wall at 260+mph in my Veyron and was still going. Some races do disqualify you. The karting special events aren't subject to disqualification but the Top Gear hippie van and lotus 111r events are. Also in the Beginner's Sunday Cup event collisions were allowed.

I'll try and progress further tonight and give some more details (that is, if I don't suffer a CF by the electrics again!)

And drivers can get penalties for such. Would you prefer it if you could cut corners and wall-ride and gold everything? This might not be the game for you!

Of course not, just what happens in a real race like in Touring car races, Daytona, F1 etc.

Thank you for the details, they are greatly appreciated.

cut corners

There's a fine line between severely apexing a corner and cutting a corner.

GT5 knows exactly where that line is and it's for the driver to discover it.

Sometimes severely apexing a corner to the point of just a few mm of tyre left on the track means the difference between gold and silver on a license test.

Audi R10 TDI and Honda NSX GT500 Stealth email just arrived

Lightweight Cup... how annoying

Still did it first go and won the last race by +0.0011

+1

A-8 teaches you that hardcore. If you don't get the apex just right and the follow through speed spot on, you either run off the course and get disqualified or fail the gold by 0.020

Not really loving this tbh.

The menu is horrible, it has quite bad loading times, and the sound other than engine noise are ****ing PS era sounds!

 

[buchtis]

So far so good, downloaded 133MB patch in about 3 minutes! Which my internet was as fast as this normally. Can't wait to have a proper go on this now, gonna go for a dump while the 8GB update installs itself.

Which would you prefer? Super HD 3D 5.1 Ultra Clarity menuy clicky sounds?

You know what I find funny. Is that the intro movie is being lauded around the net, yet I thought it was a bit - meh. The idea of seeng planet earth give birth to a car was novel, and the second part seeing 1080p replays etc of the game was ok, but really? wan't that special, and the piano at the start was a bit....

Certainly wasn't hans zimmer that's for sure. TBH I never thought that much of moon over the castle, but then I did like the GT4 intro. that was a good intro.

Anyhow, just think its odd. Maybe because the intro is so far out there is the reason its being well praised. I just didn't think much to it, as intros go it was ok.. Nothing more.

Right... Well enjoy and hopefully you'll enjoy the game afterwards..

I am talking about the Bass drum or snare drum being hit for collision noises, and the wowowowowowowo from GT4 for breaking and cornering noises.

6 years in the making and 6 minutes spent on these sounds.

Granted the collision sounds suck balls but I think every other sound is fine..

Nothing that annoys me so much that i've noticed it anyway.

How do I get damage? I can smash into a wall at 100mph and come away without a scratch :/! I want wheels falling off and ruined handling etc

You really didn't research this purchase much did you?

Will need Forza for that i'm afraid. I admit i would have liked to have seen that implemented as i thought that was a brilliant aspect of the Forza games. always GT6 for PS4 i guess !!
