Whats the difference going to be between the real game then and the prologue that came out 2 years ago, and that I have completed? If its anything like the prologue then I personally won't be buying it, for me the actual game play has not improved over the GT generations, its just the same old game with a few tweaks and better graphics each time!

I got bored of the demo after 10 mins or so too.....

If the full game is like this i will love it, can make the cars dance about a bit untill the GT games of old.

Just had a play now the standard cars are crap cannot turn the TC off, the Tuned one with TC off i have managed a 1.40.456 on my 6th lap then binned it. Should be able to get into the low 1.39's i think but would be so much smoother with a wheel imo.

been playing it a little bit now- managed a 1:52.6 standard and a 1:40.3 tuned- its ruddy hard to keep it smooth and the traction control sucks on the standard car- i want to turn it off!
ranked 588 overall, need more practice.

I had the same problem, I removed the partial download, did a system update then tried again and it worked for me. I've not used my ps3 for ages, so had a few updates waiting for it!

Managed to get a low 1.39 but i think thats as low as i am going to get. I watched the reply of the fastest time set and that was with a wheel and pedals, it looks so easy to keep it smooth and i think thats where the time is coming from.

How'd you unlock the Fiesta RS Turbo on this game??






....when you're in the main 'General Discussion' bit, you'll see a "New Thread" button on the left hand side, click that and type your question in there mate.
