Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Online Multiplayer walkthrough
Giving a walk through of how the online feature works with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. I quickly filmed this race to show the Online Event Window to give an idea to those that haven't seen how it works yet. Basically, the Online Event lists 8 events to choose from. Some are race events where the others are time trials. The race events allow for multiplayer online play. I've played with up to 16 players, 8 players, and as small as 4 players. In this video, I raced around Suzuka Circuit with the Nissan R34 GT-R using in car view with using the clutch feature on the Logitech G25. There are some rough races, where drivers are driving everywhere on the course and hitting each other. The penalties help to allow some smooth play. Those that break the rules get penalized by not allowing to accelerate for a short amount of time. Not quite sure how it calculates it, but I think it depends on how serious the penalty was. Those cars will turn into ghost cars and you can drive through them preventing them from interfering with your race. In this race, I was lucky not to run into much of that besides one bump that threw me of course some. ------------------ ADDITIONAL INFO ------------------ About if the events get replace or just added...I don't know... I can't translate it 100 percent, but I see the window of date range where I'm guessing is when the event is up and available. Then after those dates I'm guess there will be an update and refresh of new track events. Not all courses are available for multiplayer race right now, so that's where I think in the next release they will close the current ones and open up with new ones. Also remember that these online events are just the same as the type of events you play in the single player more. There are restrictions and such and you will receive credits for playing Online. Which makes this concept pretty cool. Until the demand grows more, 8 online events seems to be ok for right now. Too many and it spreads out the online players. The events aren't even all filled up. I think past events will rotate throughout the year, I hope. New course requirements. It keeps us gamers curious as to what is next and looking forward to special track events like you do in real life with waiting for track events near your hometown or something to that nature to turn up. Then you excited about it because you've been waiting for it. Maybe there will be a posted schedule. Example of the feeling you get is like waiting until they do a race at Fuji with rules matching what you enjoy most... being simulation physics and Japanese make only to give an idea of how it works. Remind you though, there are other events too...and they seem to balance out what they offer for events to try and meet the needs of all games. There are 4 race types, and 4 time trails that are high lighted on the Online Event home screen.
