Did I read that correctly? You can play through a web browser with your friends, providing your PS3 has remote play on?

That is very cool.

The Running Man · 16 Sep 2010 at 09:34

i took that as being B-Spec through the browser?

Lots of things they couldn't get into GT5. Lol.

But still lots of stuff they have crammed in...

Indeed Nickg

1:23 This version of My Home will appear on gran-turismo.com when the game launches.

1:24 You can perform races on the net through a function called "Remote Races"

1:24 So you can play with your friends through the Bspec mode

Content Challenges seem interesting:
Karting Experience
AMG driving school
The Stig Challenge
Jeff Gordon NASCAR School
Sebastien Loeb Rally Challenge
Gran Turismo Rally

I didn't know what B Spec was so just done a quick read up, disappointed considering what I thought it was!! That would have been completely insane and a big breakthrough. That is still cool though and a nice feature

Granted they have crammed a lot in, just made me laugh how Kaz wanted to have even more in it. Makes you wonder what he didn't manage to get crammed into GT5.

b spec browser mode for credit farming whilst your at work/school/holiday

LOL the joke pics have already started by Kotaku themselves.

Mr Latte · 16 Sep 2010 at 10:04

Hardly surprising as Kotaku love 360.
Yes hes mentioned in the past some things they will implement in GT6
Karting was one thing they were going to hold back but ended up adding in.

I think the bigger joke will be comparing this game to Forza

No I wont be arguing.
Im entitled to an opinion and its clear to me as a racing fan what game will actually offer much more content and replicate elements of various forms of racing. Having things like split sector times, tuning, night racing and now weather are all impressive elements to look forward to.

Demon · 16 Sep 2010 at 10:48

Nice to wake up to this type of news, the weather sounds good, rain and snow is pretty much all you ever want, I do admit that rain/snow/whatever isn't that big a deal to me, but it appeals to the wide audience, and I'll give it a go (Wasn't hugely sold on it in PGR).

Loving the online B-Spec stuff..

Is it me, or when you get these literal translations, it all sounds really 'odd', a horrible vagueness to it all, you never quite know what you will end up with?

Starting to get more excited now, and still wondering whether to get a PS3 GT5 bundle, or get a move one now, and just pre-order GT5.. hmm...

antijoke · 16 Sep 2010 at 10:49

Will the snow make a physical difference to how the car handles/performs?

Sp00n · 16 Sep 2010 at 10:55

I don't mind "weather" but I think snow is pretty pointless.

Oh I'm totally with you on this one fella, just saw the red flag go up in the 360 fans eyes to start derailing this thread into a spiralling argument about why Forza FOUR will be better or this won't be as good as 3 :confused:

Don't worry. I think everybody here is used to Mt Latte's antics by now.

My antics, maybe you should remember half the big talk you went on about promoting FM both here and on AVF for the last year and a half. FM3 fans need to deal with it that FM3 didnt really raise the bar or change much.

I don't see any "antics". In fact it's spiteful and meaningless posts like this that annoy me.

I have GT5 on pre-order and I'm looking forward to it. I couldn't give a toss if someone thinks this or says that - I will enjoy it and that's all that counts in my house.

The Running Man · 16 Sep 2010 at 11:16

look, no-one gives a damn about forza. no-body cares. if you want to go play it, please do.

There is a difference between talking about FM3 in a FM3 thread and putting the other game down in it.

There are fans of both games here you know.

Just remember who mentioned the F word first.
