Car available will be

Ultima GTR '00
Ultima Can Am '01
Ultima Spyder '00
Ultima GTR 640 '03
Ultima GTR 720 '06

Damn you know I want to go buy a PS3 to get this game. I just got to keep in mind my kit will be coming soon and I will be too busy building that to play games. That's what will hold me back wink

I was wondering whether they'd include them!

I got the game, not that impressed so far but am stuck with the standard cars at the mo which seem to be a direct port from GT3!

Will have to see what the career path is for the Ult's - that would make it worth investing some game time in yes


...and having done so, I can't seem to Google anything?

Can you confirm how to unlock them Dom?

HI
Ive been informed the Ultimas are available on a download which will be available soon...only 350 or so cars on your CD , of a total of 1000 cars they developed

Yes Im stuck with the standard cars at moment but there are a couple of helpfull options to steering you quicker... the delivery truck has some free cars to use and special events are easy money..

I also wasnt too impressed to start, but now I have my rally seat and Logitech G25 pedals and steering my god this rocks and the driving possition is just like in the Ultima(even got right hand 'H' patern gearbox....biggrin

If you want to learn Silverstones new GP track then F1 2010 is the practise sim for your planned track days next year..

Thanks Dom,

Interestingly, the factory had no idea that the cars were being included (if they do finally appear as a DLC)! Interesting one re. licencing for Polyphony smile

Still, I'd love to see them in the game. It was great to see them in PGR so I hope GT5 does them justice.

I think GT5 will be a slow burn. The standard cars are pretty poor and it takes quite a while to level up (have done the special events etc.) but once you start to unlock some of the premium stuff it gets much better.

Still can't forgive the absolutely tragic shadows and the unrealistic tyre skid marks.

Definitely need a wheel to make the most of it, but like all games, they're always a poor substitute for the real thing! Nothing can replicate the feeling you get in the seat of your pants when you're actually driving. It's always amazed me how we take for granted the tiny nuances that we instinctively feel through the wheel/pedal/chassis/ar$e when driving that help us make it round a track in one piece - still, much cheaper to crash in a sim wink

If you fancy some on-line sometime, just ping me your gamertag - mine's 'PHStig' on PS3 and 'BeeAitchPee' on Xbox 360 wink

Have you got PGR on Xbox? Ultima's in that too smile Until Polyphony release the DLC, PGR and Toca are the only titles (that I know of) that include Ultimas anyway.

I have played it yesterday and i must say the gt modus sucks in my opinion, I do not want to spend the rest of my life in the sony universum.
In Arcade mode (select a car and then go) there is a quite limited number of cars and in neither mode I could find the ultimas ?
AND the NORDSCHLEIFE is missing, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, so still have to play the old GT for PS2

hi

u will have to play a few games before being allowed on the 'ring' but it will be worth it..

The easiest is to play in the special events and merc training....section by section then a full lap.

As said Ultimas to follow in a download later on... Arcade is nothing compared to proper game and if you cant be bothered let the game play its self in 'b' mode until you have enough races undeer your beltbiggrin
