binary solo on 17 January 2010

Cool if you can download someonelse's real life lap (the Stig for instance or one of the celebs who appear on Top Gear) and try to better their lap time.

It has plenty of potential other than you having to go to a track, with your own car, and drive around it. Still it is something to put on your list of things to do on your European vacation, as long as you can borrow the car.

I'd like to be able to do it, because I fancy myself as a fair sort of driver in real life and I think I'd find it hard to beat myself on GT5. I doubt I'll ever get the chance.

er... great!

We can ship our car abroad, do a timed lap, ship it back and try to beat it on GT5. Seriously... what is the point of this? Cute feauture I'll grant you but id be surprised if more than a few dozen people ever do this.

Just get the game out ffs.

so you are the new selnor in all the GTthreads.

track days happen every where around the world, if they can implement this on other cars and tracks this wouldbe a huge selling point to car guys you know the type you know nothign about.

Fei-Hung.... street racing is a criminal activity....

Edit: I think I know what you are trying to say, but not really. Next time don't use Street Racing...

And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

not at all, i will get the game the day it releases..... but this is pointless imo.

C'mon you've got to think there's more to it than having to take your own car on a world tour to race all the GT tracks. It'll be more accessible than your original response supposes.

It's a feature that well over 90% of all GT5 consumers won't use, but... for the small percentage of consumers that do, it is an extremely valuable feature that enables competitive or aspiring racers to break down their on-track performances at the end of a session.

And yes, something like this would be valuable even to professional racers as the information it provides is better than sector split times and video feed combined.

So no, the feature doesn't mean anything to most GT users. If you are just a gamer, this probably means you.

But no, this doesn't make it pointless in any way shape or form to those who will use it, namely the more serious drivers who use GT as a driver's tool rather than just as an entertaining game.

Seriously. Gran Turismo 5 destroys the competition.

^This.

NOTHING will compete to what GT5 has to offer. And I love that Toyota!

But Mario Kart was always the funner racing game.......right?

lol yes I agree with ya on that. I just meant in terms of racing sims. No other series ie Forza, Need for Speed, etc will compete.

But in terms of good entertaining fun, classic Mario Kart stuff deliver! And hopefully ModNation does as well ^^

Yeap, Mario Kart, Mod Nations, these are "arcade and for fun", this feature is like just 0,1% of PS3 users will really use, BUT IN OTHER WAY:

The lucky guy buys the car. Get in touch with this feature... after sometimes... BUY A PS3 for try this feature...

will be like this...



PSN: franco-br
MGS4, GH, MW2, GT5p, WipeoutHD, etc..etc..

I'd say 99%

You say 90%... and people tell me it will sell 10million... so 1 million will use it? 

I also think most professional racers are utilising more than mere sector splits and video....  much much more.

yahh you'd say, and your opinion on anything racing related is pretty worthless and we all know it.

Most pro racers use the most basic gps equipment for timing laps.  They can only dream of F1 like breakdown of laps.
