So basically, they could have avoided this altogether had they released it october 31st? Why delay rather than make it earlier!?

Quote from Woz :

GT5 is the new Duke Nukem Forever lol

The term is "vaporware"

Quote from 65D :

I would like to have that package what you have, you should consider maybe HD 59xx graphics card, but even that is way enough.

you really have a liking for the 5970 don't you? haha. A single 5870 or gtx 480/470 is usually enough for most people

What about the U.S. release? D:

Quote from Tomba(FIN) :

He was a bit sarcastic about the electric bill I think.

anyways, why would anyone need more than 60fps? Unless using 120hz CRT..

And you couldn't run crysis 5 times.

Computers definitely DO raise your electric bill. PSU's are more or less 80% efficient.

Me personally, I have two 130w gpu's running 100% 24/7, as well as an HDD and such idling most of the time. On my 650w psu, lets say I'm using about 400 watts, I'll be pulling 400 watts + about 20% lost energy the PSU uses to convert the power. Then add the monitors and you're running a pretty penny!

I personally fold on my gpus 24/7, so I do notice an increase in the electric bill, but it also makes my investment worthwhile. It's not just sitting there showing off to people, it's helping cure diseases and such. Also on an HWBot team so makes overclocking funner and more significant. Don't have too much time to game anymore because of school and work 5 days a week, but it's great knowing I can play newer games as well! It's not like you buy a computer, it gets used for a year, then it gets thrown away. I've been upgrading this one for awhile now, and I can always sell components or donate them to someone.

Anyone know if the SST Lightning is compatible with the PS3/GT5?

Quote from theirishnoob :

yes, in the playstation hub over here their is.

one hour and 23 hminutes of tokyo city circuit is all i done ( silly long loading screens )

honestly... its alot more stable then say forza or dirt or anything else...

also the damage isnt all its cracked up to be... but still a great laugh

I cant find WRC 2010 or the GT5 demo D:<

And god I hate long loading screens. I tried modnation at best buy and nearly quit before I even got to a race since it took so damned long.

Quote from theirishnoob :

i was playin the demo today and f*** me... easily the best hour ive invested in the last 6 months...

Forza fan boys will hate this game

there's a demo?

Quote from Inouva :

One feature of gt5 is , there is no more upgrades for cars, all cars runs on stock, the only you can change is the Tires for sport cars (no slicks only low profile tires with a better grip compoud) and races cars ( r1/r2/r3/r4 tires )

Quote from Boris Lozac :

lol, no.

Maybe for future DLC cars..

phew. was about to put my PS3 on eBay if someone said yes.

Quote from Inouva :

having the "Bonnet" view insted of a cockpit view gona kill part of the game

but i`m sure there is a marketing behind this "Cockpit view ( Prem cars ) vs bonnet ( non-prem cars )

Wait, do you have to pay for premium cars?

Quote from MAGGOT :

If I wasn't so damned busy I'd do the same.

I <3 my Solidworks

Hah, yeah I've got about 10 minutes free a day between work, school, and girlfriend so it'll be a slow moving project for sure. Hopefully will be done by november though. I've got a nice leather cadillac seat I'm gonna use

Quote from brandons48 :

STFU about the Xbox.

Anyone else pre-ordered GT5?

My dad's going to weld together a wheel stand and seat to use with my wheel, getting an old car seat on there. Should be a nice little project.

Same. Plan on using solidworks to design a ripoff of the simpod and build it in my school's workshop haha.

Less talk. moar funnies.

Quote from R34GTR :

Oh man, 3 months for the price of 1 if I renew. Surely I would be mad not to?

Only for new accounts.

Quote from Boris Lozac :

He meant there's no need for this GT6 talk, it downplays GT5 and it really does sound stupid..

Ah thought he meant before passing 6 years in development.

In other news, I bought a PS3 for GT5!

Quote from Sueycide_FD :

Umm can they get GT5 finished before going on about 6

November 2nd...
