Grand Turismo 5(PS3)

[Haggis and tatties]

^^^A major patch is on the way this month....as well as mechanical damage.

I love the game, i am gobsmacked when i think this is running on a 4 years old console with 4 a year old based GPU and 512meg of mixed memory.

It's nice to have the Top Gear Test Track (I'm still searching the used car dealer for the 'Reasonably Priced Car' !), however that Special Event with the Top Gear track is mind numbingly dull and pointless. You start off in last place on a perfectly even field, in a VW Kombi. Nothing against the Kombi, it's a fine vehicle and every hippie's dream car, but it's got as much grunt as a shopping trolley and there are 12 of them (including yours) which are all absolutely identical. You start in 12th place, and through some miracle, you are expected to rise to 1st place in only 3 laps? Ludicrous.

Yeah the TG event is a pain if you're playing with a controller. That's how I played it the first day (I didn't feel like hooking up my wheel). The next day I hooked up my G25 wheel and switched to manual shifting and I got first pretty easily. Btw, you have to get from 12th to 1st in two laps.
