Gran Turismo 5

[Buzzman]

The way I game and watch movies along with everything else in my life is called 4 hours of sleep.

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Sucks to be you. I'm married and play the fuck out of games.

I could probably squeeze in more but I'm going hardcore on P90X so that cuts into what used to be gaming time.

All my roommate does is play this, but he sucks and makes it unbearable to watch. He does three things:

1. Have the computer race for him for XP
2. Race with the cheater Red Bull car against the computer and laps everyone within 2 laps.
3. "Drifts" online

Yeah I avoid all those "drift" rooms online...so retarded.

Just for clarification, the Red Bull car is pure product placement right?

[MmmmBeeeeer]

That car was designed by the lead engineer for the Red Bull Formula One team, so I'm sure thats where the Red Bull sponsorship comes in.

You can get it in all different colors though, not just the red bull scheme

I think I'm the only one still playing this

Gran Turismo 5 February 12th, 2011 by Jordan

Mark your calendars! Kazunori Yamauchi has just announced via Twitter the next update will be made available for Gran Turismo 5 this coming Friday, February 18th. Via Google Translator:

In the next update. What day 18 February. RT @ driftlover35r: @ Kaz_Yamauchi PP scheme is implemented or when? Have the sameadvantage in torque power difference, I get the penalty.

As you can see, Kazunori also appears to confirm the return of the “Performance Points” system used to benchmark cars in GT5 Prologue may be returning to GT5.

In addition to new features and bug fixes, this will have an affect on the start of the third round of GT Academy USA, originally slated to begin February 14th but postponed until after this update has been issued. Thanks to everyone who sent this in so quickly – stay tuned for more!
