Gran Turismo 5 - who's playing?

[IndianaVX]

LOL, i may be older schooler......for my racing, i play a couple of GAME CUBE need for speeds, but i play them in a wii, with game cube controller.

the need for speed for the wii had AWFUL steering controls, had to tilt the controller like a gas pedal....

SO... I now have roommates and it looks like we have reached an understanding... I will buy the wheel this weekend for $100 and get it on a mounted setup. Then the Playstation Eye and GT5 will appear out of nowhere next month! I understand with Eye you tilt your head and the camera adjusts to the direction your head faces! I am so drunk and the lights are off... this is tiough to type.

we should all meet and race on line some night

I was sad to learn GT5 was playstation only, Forza is a lot of fun, but I wanna race some Isuzu's. I wish there was more player made cars, but I understand licensing restrictions. Still, if someone wanted to build a VX and place it into a racing game, isn't that good for Isuzu? People will buy it on an auction house or w/e and say, holy cow this suv is awesome, where can I buy one in RL? Then Isuzu will have to recast the dies and make another 5k. right?

Yikes, I kinda did a hit & run on starting/abandoning this tread. Sorry.

YES! I would love to meet & race with other VX.info members. On PS3 my ID is MarsSpork. (Yeah, I know... stupid name. That's what happens when the previous 900 IDs you try are all taken then you give up and just put 2 random words together. Apparently I am the self-proclaimed god of war with Taco Bell cutlery. )

Quick Tip: If you don't have a "PS3 headset".... well, do you have a Bluetooth earpiece for your cell phone? Those can be used, too!

By the way, here are ALL the Isuzus in the game. Some may be known by other names in various countries. All are VERY fun to drive and well behaved without any modifications (possibly because most are somewhat low HP.) I make no apologies, I love older car designs and think they are also beautiful shapes!

That's an awesome name, everyone loves sporks! :P This makes me want a PS3, but just for GT5 wouldn't be too bright

There are worse reasons to buy a PS3 - I actually bought mine just to serve as a BlueRay player. Between that and Netflix streaming, I've spent a lot more time watching movies than playing games.
