http://gt5.tomcatuk.net GT5 Prologue Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:24:40 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en The B-3 Eiger Nordwand time trial in the Mitsubishi Evo is without doubt one of the trickiest 3 events in GT5 Prologue to beat. I went over it again and again, and got highly frustrated with never getting better than Silver. I would imagine with a wheel (I don't have ... http://gt5.tomcatuk.net/2008/07/03/b-3-eiger-nordwand-time-trial-evo-gold/ OK, S-6 proved to be just a bit TOO challenging for me. Maybe it's possible to complete "properly" using the sixaxis controller, but I'm in no doubt I would have faired much better using a wheel. So...I cheated. If you want to cheat and get this one Golded, watch the ... http://gt5.tomcatuk.net/2008/06/30/s-6-ferrari-f40-gold-win/ This is on of the races I had trouble with. Hopefully the video is enough to show just how this race can be won easily. Car settings? I don’t mess with them much, I usually (certainly did in this race) have traction control set at 1 or 2. Never higher. http://gt5.tomcatuk.net/2008/06/28/a-8-ferrari-f430-race-gold-win/ This race caused me a bit of trouble at first, but then a super simple way to beat it appeared. Basically, if the GT Spec II Test Car is in front on the starting grid, you're going to have trouble catching it. Fortunately, you can change the starting grid positions. ... http://gt5.tomcatuk.net/2008/06/23/s-10-suzuka-how-to-beat-easily/ Finished...finally. Got all gold, all events in A, B, C and S class and (not that it's that hard) every manufacturer event. If you're reading this, you might be looking for tips on how exactly some of the events can be done. Patience....I will post the videos of the ... http://gt5.tomcatuk.net/2008/06/12/gt5-prologue-completed-all-gold-all-events/ Managed a bronze in the final Suzuka Circuit race using the Forg GT LM Spec II Test Car. I don't care what I read elsewhere about this car being an undriveable monster - the satisfaction comes from taming the beast. Once you have, it's supremely satisfying to drive. Without doubt, ... http://gt5.tomcatuk.net/2008/05/10/all-races-completed-s-license-aquired/ Finally got the Cappuchino race licked and now have all golds for the C series. B series all gold with the exception on the Mitsubushi Evolution IX Eiger Nordwand time trial. Have managed a Silver, but trying to get that elusive Gold! http://gt5.tomcatuk.net/2008/05/05/c-series-complete-all-gold/ S6 completed last night in my GT40 LM Spec II Test Car, so just the last race to go. Do still want to get a few more Golds in S Class before I consider it really finished though. S6 was the first race I found I had to adjust the ... http://gt5.tomcatuk.net/2008/04/28/only-one-to-go/ Collision penalties - first up I wholeheartedly agree with Polyphony implementing this feature. Previous versions were far to easy to "cheat" in single player by performing what I refer to as a "Shumaker" and pushing other cars off the track. However, the implementation doesn't seem to be exactly perfect as of ... http://gt5.tomcatuk.net/2008/04/27/colision-penalties/ OK, a new blog. Because I love the GT series from Polyphony Digital - it's the single reason I bought a PS2, and the single reason I got a PS3. Polyphony Digitals' "real driving simulator" puts you behind the wheel of some of the greatest cars this planet has to ... http://gt5.tomcatuk.net/2008/04/21/hello-world/
