GT ad-hoc mode, just me then.

now, i don't know if it's the time of day or the fact most Urpian gamers haven't got the Ad-Hoc utility, or have actually managed to figure it out (learn some japanese people) but i was the only one in all the servers a while ago. i did accidentally bump into 2 other people in server 'J' but they vanished pretty quickly before i figured out how to open a msg window, maybe they had heard of my l33t driver abilities.

excuse the usb lead jacked in, i was just trying to save battery power (i'm sporting my new psp grips too). but there we have it anyway, GTpsp running in ad-hoc with the ps3 screen in the background, and me, poor lonely me sitting on the server twiddling my virtual thumbs, there is some small power vibe though from having ALL the servers to yourself.

the Ad-Hoc utility seems to be a nice bit of kit, easy to use, nicely laid out, with a clean old school greenness to it, i did spend a few minutes chewing my knuckles until i realised i hadn't turned my psp's wi-fi on d'oh!! but after that it was trial and error to find out what buttons did what.

think i'll log into my Japanese account in a mo' and see what goes down.

  1. nothing worse that an online mode where you can't find anyone, and I sorry to say most games are piss poor at matchmaking.

    Let us know how it goes tone

    FUEL anyone? :) i have since decided ad-hoc mode in GT is pointless unless you're racing against someone in local wi-fi range, ie. the same room. seems too much hassle to set up. think i'll leave the online racing to the big console.

    maybe if we ever get an official release of ad-hoc here things will be different.

    the lobbies under the top button had plenty of people in chatting away and making rooms but i couldn't find anyone under the third button playing GT. seems to have a big Monster Hunter contingent in 'J' server though.
