anyone out there playing GT3 yet for ps2?
ive played it a couple days now and its blowing me away

[mackerel]

Yet? I've been playing it since it got released in the UK, whenever that was. Sometime in summer I think. I even took a day off work to buy it on launch day :D

Probably the best game I have on PS2, but then again I've not bought that many yet...

My lord, never thought a ironing board would be so useful!
im totally hooked on that game... as i was hooked on the first ones too... i need a 40" plasma screen and i would be set for life!


Whats your favorite car in the game?

[tripodal]

i didnt think it would quote the picture too ... sheesh!

[mackerel]

My fave car in GT2 was probably the Ford GT40, although not fast in a straight line, it cornered at insane speeds which more than made up for it.

I haven't got that yet in GT3... so it's back to my old fave either the Skyline on fast tracks, or the Evo 6 on more bendy ones...

[tripodal]

i like the skyline... but always went for the supra.. 1081Hp mmmmmmmmm
never tried the evo tho...

[mackerel]

A fully modded Skyline gives 1000+ hp too, but under that condition I have yet to find a way to get it round a corner :p

[tripodal]

i find that the RWD supra is suicide if you touch the gas in anycorner except the test track where i run at 265mph all day long...

BUT make sure you adjust your final drive in the test track!!!!
i ran the 15lap version (60miles) with a bad gearing and lost 29hp permantly!! (i was constantly in redline) DOH!!!!
man was the oil messed up that time!

hi guys, i know this comment may b a bit late but hey...i wasnt that taken by GT3, i loved GT2 and also GT1 but 3 just didnt do it for me, sure the gfx are amazing but i thot that the playability was lost, i dint think there was as great a feel for speed as there was in the first 2 games...it just dint have that special something that the first to installments did...

nitan :)

One feature of GT2 that didn't make it into GT3 is the hp limit in races... I think without it, it's too easy to just mod a car for an easy win, instead of learning how to handle the car and the tracks.

Also you can't get many cars any more. I want a Micra! It's the first car I drove in GT2 :D

[tripodal]

That is definatly a big issue, lack of cars... you'd figure that with 6gb or space they would have more cars than gt2... but there are less :(

i think the gt3 is better than 2, even tho this flaw exists. but i think some of the features make up for it...
analysis of your races!
odometer! gotta love how many milse you put on
tuning your cars... MUCH easier ( no longer guessing on what manufacturer from what town made the myster car you just won)

i definatly like the fact that they made it much more difficult ot win cars/money in the game.. it takes longer to develop a car to its full potential

Zonta.

Awesome little Italian beast. Corners like it's on rails :)

I've been grinning like an idiot for over a week since winning that :D

I'm also partial to the Clio, once tuned up to the max. Drives slightly more nicely than my non-virtual model....
