i was about to install it but it said that it was going to erase all my music... so i said '' f*ck you apple, im not updating ''

Er, no it doesn't. None of the music on my iTouch (32GB third-gen) is from the iTunes store and it updated to iOS4 without wiping *anything* on the device, and it didn't pop up with any warning dialogs.

You're doing it wrong

Quote from freddyalek90 :

Yeah, I have lots of pockets to carry around a device that's almost as big as an iPhone AND another phone. Right.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it... iPod touch does its job as a portable media player brilliantly, a mobile phone does phoney stuff with aplomb; why the need to combine the two (see 5haz's post just above ^)?

iPod touch + mobile phone > iPhone

Fixed it for you

XP is ancient now, it's what... eight years old? 7 is a superior OS (I've been using it for a full year now), imo there's no reason not to upgrade.


I'll stick with WLM 14 thanks, partly because I doubt MSN+ supports 15 and partly because 15 looks like a dog's breakfast.

lol, maybe in the EU, but you sure as hell can't get wheels for peanuts down here!

Trust me, I would use a wheel if I could afford one.

Ever thought that maybe I don't have one?


Well, I do - but it's for the PS1/PS2 only, which makes it completely useless for PC and PS3...

Right stick up/down for throttle & brake respectively, with shift down L2 and shift up R2. Sure, it means no left-foot braking, but that's the control map I'm most comfortable with. I use that setup in LFS, rFactor, GTR etc as well

If this talk about a track editor is true, then as long as we can control track camber, width, elevation and textures (grass/sand/dirt/gravel/road markings) then I'm happy

Quote from trebor901 :

When Apple announced IOS4 they said the only thing the 3g didnt support was the multitasking but it doesnt support the backgrounds on the main page either.

I think you'll find they did state that it wouldn't support home screen wallpapers...

Quote from JJ72 :

And the point being?

That none of the previous GT games have had cockpits, yet nobody bitched about that despite that other games around the time of 2/3/4 had cockpit cam...?

If all 1000 cars were interior-less and were "standard" quality, would you people still be bitching? Or are you lot just whining because you found out that a new feature to the series was in fact only going to be used for a fifth of the game's cars? 200 fully-modelled cars is still a lot. GT3 only had 170 ffs...

Quote from Klutch :

The only game i use interior view on is LFS, every other game i use bonnet view because the in-game wheel is just distracting.

I don't find it much of a game-breaker, but eh..

I use in-car on LFS, rFactor and GTR2/GTRE and that's it. Hell, some of the time in rFactor (read: in open-wheelers) I prefer to drive in TV Cockpit, which puts you in the airbox - and that's not really cockpit view.

Quote from lukelfs :

As you said I also find ingame wheels distracting as they only rotate like 90°

Not to mention the wheel in Prologue always moved a lot slower than the rate at which you were actually turning, which made it look bloody bizarre.

Quote from lukelfs :

Also all you moaning about no interior, were you fine playing GT4??

I wonder how many of the people moaning have even played GT before...

For the love of god, who cares? It's still a QUARTER of all cars in the game... if PD gave every single car a fully-detailed interior the game wouldn't be finished until 2015. Be grateful for what you are getting.


Bumper cam for life.

Quote from danowat :

Again, premium with dashboard, standard without.

If this is indeed the case, I think I may even reconsider getting GT5

Are you saying you'd snub what is going to be a truly awesome game simply because it doesn't have a certain visual feature? Not to mention no other GT game has actually had a cockpit view, and you'll reconsider getting GT5 because a new feature that PD has introduced won't be applicable to every car?

Isn't that being a bit rash?

Anyway, the way I interpret the 200 interiors as are fully detailed cockpit view. Every car will have some form of cockpit view; for the "standard" cars they'll be basic (eg no stitching on seats, non-essential gauges in dash inoperative etc) and recycled for similar models (read: the million Skylines sharing a common cockpit) with generic brake rotors etc in terms of the exterior, whereas for the premium cars they'll be fully and authentically detailed both inside and out.

Quote from Mustafur :

Your joking right?

He must be, because Shift was the biggest pile of shit (*rimshot*) I've played in a long time.

You were joking, right?

Oh, wait... you (Takumi_lfs) said Criterion sucks at making racing games, so either you're just trolling or you have no idea what constitutes a good game.

Worth buying it for the 300-page car guide and the model GT-R alone, imo. Defo going to get it

Hot Pursuit looks, well.... hot. I can't believe it's taken until now for EA to give Criterion (the guys that made the pure awesome that is Burnout) a go at making a Need for Speed title.

There isn't one yet.

Buy the deed for it.

Wow, leaving two lines between the spoiler alert and the spoiler itself, good work. Changing the font colour to white would've been 1000x better...

(I've already finished the story so it wasn't a spoiler for me, but for most people it is!)

Tap RB/R1 to slow down, hold to stop. Simple.

I have the ending song (Still Alive) on my iPod. LOL
