Penalties in GT5 Prologue - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

What a raving pile of sh1te!

I agree that the earlier games could have been improved by removing the ability to use walls and other cars to perform emergency stops from 200mph in half a second but GT5 Prologue has taken it too far. Sometimes a ramming penalty is awarding when you simply seize somone's racing line and they swing into you. Then there are occasions when another car spins across a chicane and hits you, sending you wide onto the grass. Not only do you lose time due to some AI arsehole putting you there but you also get a Short Cutting Penalty!

Indeed....
I hope the full game has this sorted or its going to be a disappointment. I'm a great fan of the GT series and it was the whole reason I bought a PS2. I am waiting till GT% full game is released and then I'm off to buy a PS3/GT5 bundle.

All I'll say is it had better be good....

TT

lets hope the damage model will make it to the game in fall 2008 as a free download. Along with private lobbys this could make GT5P interesting again.

And who set the default gear ratios in the F40? It had long gears, but it didn't do 140mph in 2nd.

I'm starting to think that Sony have a personal grudge against me when I'm racing on-line. All the "chavs" in their tuned Clios seem to get away with murder - ramming, short-cutting the suzuka chicane, etc. - without appearing to get penalised but if I "breathe" on anybody or get half a wheel over a kerb I'm ground to a halt for 5 seconds

There are far too many tw@ts on there who use the rear of my car to do their braking or who lurk off the racing line ready to barge you into the armco/gravel as soon as you pass them.

It is REALLY p1ssing me off and totally spoils the enjoyment of online racing.

Same happens in Forza 2, say you beat the Ai round the bend but he has a highet top end and bumps into the back of you, YOU end up getting the time penalty

You lot downloaded the update?

andyneed4speed · 24th August 2008, 07:30 PM

Yeah, I've got the update.

The problem is that the AI isn't smart enough to try and avoid you and isn't affected by penalties. I've also found that you're more likely to get a penalty if you're doing well and for about 5 seconds after a penalty, you can do as you please.
