Tourist Trophy! [PS2]

TraumaOne · 04-10-2006, 10:57 PM

ok... I got through Suzuka... the answer lies in the Yamaha...

I hate you all...but 172$ later, I have a new slim PS2 (holy F tiny!) and a new copy of TT.

The game was $36.53 and they had about 20 copies in stock as well.

Kicks ass, too bad I should be sleeping

I did the exact same thing when GT4 came out. Slimline + game. Now I own a total of 2 games.

I was up until 12:30 last night working on my license tests.... got my first 5 golds in Expert.

I was kinda thinking that too.

Maybe they think your hand/eye coordination isn't good enough for a true simulation?

phobiaphobe · 04-11-2006, 12:06 PM

You do have to brake a lot earlier than I would have expected. It probably just feels a little slower because it's scaled down to your TV set.

From a standing start in some of the license tests it really bogs, like you're launching from idle. That is annoying. It would have been cool if they'd included a drag strip like in GT4, but this game is WAY down in content compared to GT. Doesn't mean I don't love playing it though.... maybe the next generation will have more depth.

I just wanna go home and get that NR.

LUCIDDREAM57 · 04-11-2006, 12:44 PM

perhaps they tone down the power a little for the vast majority of players who don't ride in real life thus aren't used to ludacris speed as i, uhh err, i mean some bikers are.......

maybe... That would be swell. I see the XBox 360 has caught up with demand. They have them in BestBuy and at Sams club. I have no intention of getting one however... The PS3 on the other hand...

not even the melatonin could pry the damn controller out of my hands..I was determined to win that damned NSR250se.

I hope this is TT light, and that the PS3 will have a nuts version...I know the MotoGP thats sposed to be out (June) for the 360 looks pretty awesome.

So..what do I need to get the ps2 to do 1080i? I see it as an option

Thanks - I should have been more specific with a 'does anyone still stock these! cause I havent seen them at bestbuy or CC...well ok they did have the 100$ monster ones (f-that) but the 20$ OEM ones are fine for me. I just cant find them in-stock online anywhere or in stores, I think tourist trophy just brought the finish-stock of these cables out of the warehouse

Kinda cool how you can save screen shots from the photo mode on USB thumb-drives!

yes, very cool. I spent over an hour playing with that last night...

phobiaphobe · 04-12-2006, 12:21 PM

I didn't know the PS2 had a usb port. I'm gonna get me a kick-ass wheelie shot on the NR750.

TraumaOne · 04-12-2006, 12:58 PM

I took a few last night...

TraumaOne · 04-12-2006, 12:59 PM

While the ZX-10R plows like a truck in the corners, it wheelies on demand

phobiaphobe · 04-12-2006, 1:06 PM

You're using the same leathers and lid as me.

TraumaOne · 04-12-2006, 1:10 PM

They were the closest to something I would actually wear

*Mo Noyz* · 04-12-2006, 1:18 PM

How long do you have to play before they let you wear shorts and flip flops?!!

I have the cammo pants... I'll try and get some photos of that

SomeStrangeGuy · 04-12-2006, 7:39 PM

So what's the secret to the monos and stoppies? you have to be in pro mode and what other hoopla?

phobiaphobe · 04-12-2006, 7:54 PM

I'm not using pro mode and the gsxr750 comes right up in the first 3 gears... just power wheelie like in real life. Close the throttle and open it up again while leaning back. I was mono'ing that bitch all the way down the main straight on Grand Valley.

I thought I was lacking in computer-bling. I didn't realize that all you needed was a jump drive! Time to make some desktop wallpaper for work.
