It is a great decision IMO.

It is pure RPG - you can't fight Cactuar in Corel Desert without having appropriate Materia and XP Lv. It is pure & beautiful old-school and 100% based on GT philosophy-principles.

I know that many will find it flawed, wrong and such, but hey - it is simple:

You want full physics, full damage and so on? No problem. You just need to progress into the game.

Besides, it will make a greatest handbrake an all potential flood of damage-only videos I was really worried to see all over the internet. If damage was enabled from the start, all you would see on YouTube with "GT5" tag would be "Enzo Crahfest", "F40 wrecked", "Murcielago Crashing ZOMG" and so on. This design-decision will just make it rare - and that is good.

Even from business perspective - I can see that all principals (manufacturers) that gives licenses to use cars to PD will praise such decision in long terms, thus allowing them to use more cars and everything in the future.

Above all things that are exectued in unique and perfect manner of GT heritage, this one stands out the most in my book.

Good luck :p

Apparently the install is 8GB and takes 20 minutes, if true, dunno who made up the 40 minute thing.

Three ways of starting the game

1) No install (don't have to wait)

2) Install everything (have to wait)

3) Install while playing (don't have to wait)

Pretty much a given I'll just be installing everything, game will be in my PS3 for days.

Yeah I will be doing the full install, still got about 60gb spare on the drive so not going to miss it, plus will uninstall GT5:P which is about 6gig anyway.

Have now realised that I didn't bring the ?120 gift card into work, which means having to go home first! :(

Hope yours turns up today mad.gif(not jealous, honest)

Hi

My copy was delivered this morning but having trouble with it. Installed the game but it comes up saying a connection to the server could not be established?

The game loads up to the homescreen but then the cursor disappears until you get the error again?

Any thoughts?

My internet is working so I know it can't be my end

Cheers

Got my copy from Shopto today. It downloaded the update and I did a full install and started the game, there's was a 5minute long loading screen until it showed a connection to the server could not be established. Now I'm at the screen where the white racer is walking on the track and none of the controls work?
