Anyone on tonight? Would quite like to earn some money and rp! Feeling a bit left behind especially since everyone is lever 200 odd haha

I'll probably be on around 9-9.30

[XslaneyX]

Pre ordered for ps4 now so will be back on gta come the 18th! Sold my ps3 a while back hence why i have been inactive

[noell35]

Is everyone moving to PS4? I don't think I can get away spending £350 to play games. (well, I can to myself but it's not me I'd have to convince).

[AlleyCat]

I'm going to wait until January before I get a ps4

[BillyWhizz888]

I'm jumping on ps4 on the 19th as got it as a package deal than buying a ps4 and then paying more for the game

Still keeping the PS3 so prob be on that aswell

Ak_karosaki will be staying on PS3

[Bigkahonies]

Yes I will be getting it on ps4, I've had ps4 since release but pretty much been sat there gathering dust due to gta on PS3, so at last a chance to use it.

I've got to buy a PS4 and I've been waiting for the price of the GTA/PS4 bundle to be announced before taking the plunge. Cheapest I've found a PS4 on its own is £319, no longer available (currently £324 at Amazon) plus it's going to be at least £40 for the game (£47 pre-order price). All to play something I've already played for a year with prettier graphics... So it's me that I have to convince!

I'd like to see the reviews of the PS4 version first at least.

[AWRacing]

I'm sticking with ps3 although I do have permission to buy a ps4, I just can't justify spending £350ish on myself when I still have st loads to do on the house...

[Andurron]

I kiiinda want a PS4 but I dunno if finances will allow. Also people were asking about my silly playlists so here they are (excuse the .fr suffix, for some reason Rockstar thinks I'm a frog.)

Mallard GP (3 races, all locked to Mallards)
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

Vestra GP (5 races, first three locked to Vestras)
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

Sanchez GP (7 races, all locked to Sanchez or Blazer)
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

Off Road GP (8 races, mostly Off Roaders, one locked to Sanchez)
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

Compacts GP (8 races, mostly locked to Compacts or Pantos)
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

Very Silly GP (7 races, all kinds)
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

---

And for those of you looking for some other silly races to try, here are some of my favourites.

A Jolly Good Trucking - the 22-minute long monster of an offroad race created by Pinchy_UK who I don't think comes here any more.
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

Crusher Race - a brilliant drag race down Sandy Shores Airfield that's a joy to play, especially as a GTA race.
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

Nuts Deep - our favourite downhill-in-the-wet-vans race by IAmMilk, another of us
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

Parkplatz Rundkurs - German made super tight compact race.
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

Bikes on Water - An exercise in patience and why the Akuma isn't always the right choice.
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

BMX Go Up Building - Jobbo's favourite!
http://fr.socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/...

hi gang, hope you're all well i traded the ps3 for a 4 a couple of weeks ago which is why i've not been on. looking forward to all the racing, yank bashing, destruction derbying, offroading chaos when the new game comes out cant wait to get back into this and catch up with you all

[ChemicalChaos]

A good little 13-race off road playlist there between myself, Jobbo and BigKahonies. Shame BK flounced near the end - I stayed to the bitter end, despite fantasizing by that point what Jobbo and his smug avatar would look like being lowered into a pit of boiling lava...

[Lord_Howit_Hertz]

My PS3 has been unplugged for a while!

I will be back playing once this is on the PS4!!

[djdestiny]

I got a PS4 as soon as GTA was announced, Ive got GTA preordered, so will be on PS4 from release day
(Cant wait now, Ive not played it for a while on PS3, only occasionally to build up a bit of cash incase anything of interest is included in the switch)

[Maikeeh]

Does anyone know whether cars, cash etc. will carry over, or whether it will just be rank? I've pre-ordered for PS4 anyway but just curious.

You were really unlucky there - sorry if my character looks smug; apparently his mood is 'aiming' but I don't normally see his face because he has a helmet on.

DNFs are a complete killer in a playlist which I hadn't realised previously. There was one which you DNF'ed by millimetres and if you had finished that one, you'd have won the playlist easily. Good racing, though; cheers

[Jobbo]

I've just ordered a PS4 after my earlier pondering. £289.95 from Simply Games (including next day delivery) - a very small amount of Quidco cashback too.

Hey bud I didn't flounce out, I got disconnected from you two for some reason, I carried on too and won the playlist. They were tough courses but I'm not a quitter!!

I done the last race 5 peaks in the liberator took nearly 25 bloody minutes

[Jobbo]

I wondered why it said you'd got a record on Just Deserts as we were doing it!

Didn't finish the 5 peaks one; CC was nearly 2 minutes ahead as I crested Chilliad so I don't know where it goes after that. I'm quite grateful he did finish it so quickly because it was a bit of a mad long race. Quite well done; considering how far apart the checkpoints were, you didn't get lost.

Sorry BK, I take it all back!

Jobbo - 5 peaks descends Chiliad, then goes up the next mountain over the road to a finish line at the observatory on top. As kahonies found out, it takes a while so that's why I always run it in 4wd sports cars rather than the off road class! In sport cars it actually takes less time than A Jolly Good Trucking does with Off-Roaders. Brave decision though to do it in a Liberator

[Jobbo]

I was pondering which sports car to use - then remembered the Jester is 4wd. Could be fun in Adder/Entity/Zentorno too
