I admit to having sat in it for a good while to get my authoritative-regal-gaming-pimp-Daddy on. Some random person took a picture of me in it. *baffled*
@-MasterDex-: What are you talking about dex? Where's my twenty four hour endurance runs in S-Rank using a performance enhanced Skyline against super cars after sweating blood and tears trying to get through the license tests?
GTPSP allows you to decide how long of a race and in what car you want rather than forcing you into doing a race you don't have the time or desire to do, like for instance doing 10 laps in a Clio.
Like I said, perfectly adapted to handheld gaming.
@-MasterDex-: Glad to hear someone actually likes it. I can't begin to understand what they did with it. No career, too f*cking much money, too easy, no car modifications, weird random dealers management...
Technically, it's good and all but where is it going ? Once I nailed the driving challenges, I don't see any way of progressing. And if I don't progress, I don't get a satisfaction feeling for what I've accomplished. And if I'm not satisfied, I'm not satisfied !
But I'm still glad someone likes it that way. Means there are probably reasons for thoses things I don't like :-) [peace.ak]
@ak-blanc: While the random dealers management isn't what I would have chosen, looking at the good side of it, I can see that I buy cars and find some hidden gems I wouldn't have otherwise bought if all dealers and cars were immediately available.
Your disappointment at the lack of career mode and sense of progression is understandable but from my point of view it's more of a yearning for the carrot-on-a-stick method where you have a clearly defined goal told to you that you can work towards as opposed to the "do what you like, we'll reward you anyway" method that GTPSP provides.
As for setting a goal for yourself, I would suggest going through all tracks in succcession on each rank before upping the ranks and going through again, perhaps also raising the amount of laps as you go up a rank from say 3-5-10 and beyond. Apart from that, I would suggest finding some cars you really like and going hell for leather in timeattack to beat your own time and see how fast you can get a lap done in a particular car (this also helps with tigthening up your handling). Be creative and create goals for yourself. Just like adult life, no one's going to tell you what to aim for.
@-MasterDex-: Well I thought the the blood and tears bit would get it across, but alas I've not yet acquired my S-arcasm license. I've still got to get past the italics bracket and win a couple satires.
@-MasterDex-: I guess you can see it that way but imagine a GTA without story and missions. Sure, you can decide to steal a chopper in a military base, go shoot down a boat with it and then return to your hideout safely... but I just prefer to have goals that I can achieve. It's nice to find your own goals once you finished the game but in GT's case, I really miss the career (and modifications, and lack of money) [peace.ak]
@Jotsy: Everyone finds its own path to happiness :-)
In fact, I did that too, before and after finishing the story. I always loved to go run/drive in restricted areas (I mean the islands still locked at the beginning of the game) and try to make it the longest, or even get there, drive quite far inside and try coming back to a hideout.
I've got a friend who used to play Need for Speed 2 in LAN with his brother using the cheat to drive any of the normal cars in the traffic. One of them would try to disguise himself in the regular traffic and the other would try to find where he was...
There're always ways to find your own games into the games but does that mean the game shouldn't propose something to begin with ? [peace.ak]
I need goals, I need linearity, I need a sequence of events, I need to play according to the developers vision, I want to experience what the director intended. I don't want this... this freedom thing you all talk about!
absolutely hilarious! what am I doing awake?! it's already 5 am on the east coast. I should have put my helmet on, and GOT IN SOME GRAN TURISMO ! I applaud their dedication. 100 percent!
I played through GoW 1 but not 2. This is a sweet deal for me. Like some others have mentioned, playing the originals on a BC PS3 upscaled to HD isn't the same. Plus they're on the same bluray disk and the trophies are a nice incentive. I'm in and will be heading to gamestop to get my copy in an hour or so.
Can we get a Ico, Shadow of the Colossus collections...or maybe MGS, MGS2 and MGS3...Devil May Cry would be nice...FFX and FFXII
I am reminded of this comic, though I am sure those nice young ladies above are not the kind, or anything close to being the kind, in the Katamari in the comics...

Step1: Complete licenses/Challenges
Step 2:Complete a track enough to get to S-rank
Step 3: Turn the laps up to 99
Step 4: Select a tuned Skyline and away you go.

Then again I figure I could just wait for the inevitable God of War trilogy box set.
