   @mancubus… have you ever thought to yourself…’am i cutting my nose off to spite my face?” for god’s sake, your opinions are just bordering on the nonsensical. The game has not even gone gold yet are yet you are making ridiculous comments/criticisms.

   You say that you will buy it one day so it seems to me that you are just here for the sake of being here. TBH, why don’t you come back when you think the game has met your standards because by that time no-one will have remembered you. well I for one at least will have forgotten you but I will remember how much of a whinger your are as I bring my baby home and enjoy her. Oh and BTW, do you have a better version running around at home?!

   Peace out.

   WTF? The SLR on the Nürburgring… the damage looks just so ridiculously bad. I reeeeeally hope this is far from final. The grill just bends totally wrong and then pops into a new position after the crash.

   I don’t exactly like the damage of Forza III with all the scratches over the car after a roll and no real deformation, but this looks just plain bad.

   I will buy it day one and I just want to drive my favourite cars on the Nürburgring. I don’t intend to crash a lot, but if it happens and it looks like this, I will rather turn it off…

   Wargh! The dust in the rally looks so bad. Well, it looks good in some camera angles, but most of the time it looks strange. More like water sprinkling up. And the dust is disappearing way too early. It’s something even Codemasters doesn’t get right, but I had hopes PD would make a better job. So far it’s just disappointing.

   And why ist the dust coming from the wheels even during a jump? That looks really silly. :(

   Why is it only 8 cars now? It’s been quite a while since I’ve seen a video of GT 5 with more than 8 cars on the track. Should I be worried?

   There is constructive criticism and then there is whinging for the sake of whinging. All games are open to criticism, but there comes a point where it becomes idiotic. One poster implied that KY/PD didn’t know how glass shatters, because of the lack of it in the videos. Hmmmm, let’s see. Is the lack of glass shattering because A) PD don’t know how glass shatters or B) because they couldn’t implement it into the game. Anyone who thinks the answer is A is a monumental retard. So yes, there are lots of retards posting here.

   1:45 of the 4th video. It’s scaring me that this track disappearing glitch seems to be happening quite a bit in some videos I’ve seen. If that glitch is in the full game it’s gonna really be a major bummer.. :(

    When I get this game home, the very least thing is race in the Nurburgring. IM TIRED OF THE NURBURGRING.

      Mr Frappy

      Yeah, I know what you mean. It’s not like it’s a major technical achievement in racing games anymore, and it’s not like it’s an amazing track to drive on. Sure it’s OK, but there are far better tracks in GT – a lot of which we have not seen yet than goodness!

      I wouldn’t say hating on it. It is an incredible track and probably the greatest in the world. But . . . It can become a task driving it, specially if you’re not really looking for the 13 miles of Green Hell challenge. Great track, but even ingame it takes the right state of mind.

    It’s been a long wait. I’m hoping this demo makes it to the local best buy. If I hadn’t started I-racing I’d be chomping at the bit alot more. The damage I’ve seen looks decent but it’s not perfect. I do get the feeling it was rushed to please but I’m not going to complain about it. It’s not the most important feature to me. Mechanical damage is far more important to me because of how it affects immersion in the sim. Seriously considering a VR3 or GamePod to upgrade from my Playseat. Between I-racing and GT5 I’ll no free time left at all. Just the way I like it. I was quite suprised and happy by the announcement of a track creator. This is huge and the fact that custom tracks can be used online is even better. I’m not that creative when it comes to things like that but I know there’s alot of guys out there that will do tremendous things with it and I can’t wait to see what they come up with. One minor feature I’m hoping for is realistic shifting with the clutch. At the start the car should stall and die if you let off the clutch without hitting the gas. No sim that I know of has got this right yet. Not even I-racing.

    why does it have a sticker saying “DO NOT SCAN” on the bottom right of the tv? does that mean they dont want people taking videos??

    • September 6th, 2010 at 1:34 pm - #

      I wondered about that too, I think it’s for the BestBuy employees – so they don’t scan the TV as a “for sale” item, as it’s a display model (with their handheld barcode scanners)…

    There can’t be another game series with more whinging, moaning fanboys as GT. The amount of complaining that goes on here is ridiculous. Sometimes I hope that GT5 is rubbish because you retards don’t deserve a good game. You don’t deserve the hard work that KY/PD have put into GT5. What a bunch of utter losers you are.

      So true, people are crying like little kids.

      There’s no other racing game that offers what GT5 does.

      Racing, Nascar, GT, Gokart, meaty online mode, RPG element that lets you manage a racing team, best graphic to date on any console game, 100% detail on tracks (nürburgring springs to mind), track creator, great physics and from what we’ve heard from the latest build good sound aswell.

      On top of all that you got 16(!!!!!!) cars on the same track, 24 hour races, day and night transition, great particle effect on smoke and dust being catched by the wind, good deformation on cars, upload videos with HQ directly to youtube and ofcourse being able to put your own music into the game while driving..

      Probably missed alot, but this is what springs to my mind right now.

      You got your wish. Whingers will never be happy, so they won’t enjoy GT5. People that appreciate GT5 for what it is will be happy with it.

      The only retarded losers (to coin your terminology F.G.) are those who think discussion mediums like this only exist for people to sing praises and kiss the backside of the games designers regardless of the quality of their output. It’s even worse when you let such comments get to you so much that you feel the need to post in your manner.

      GT5 is going to be a fantastic game, but for all of the things it does well, it’s still not perfect. There are bugs in that demo, and there are things that could be done better. Saying so does not mean the game is crap, as you seem to think. Believe it or not, it is possible to look forward to the game and throw out some constructive criticism at the same time. Only fools like you misinterpret that and take it to the extreme, getting all upset about it.

      Let the people give their opinions. Just because you comment about whiners doesn’t mean that they’re going to stop complaining. You don’t need to call them retards and losers. And anyways over half of the people complaining about GT5 is still going to buy this game. Chill out dude. Let people give their opinions and their discussions.

      @Mr Frappy You’re absolutely right

    I don’t think the damage is great for only one reason, they don’t have it on every car. I think it makes the game look incomplete. But don’t get me wrong, the cars with damage look GOOD and like many have said before, “it’s better than nothing”

    Damage is supposed to be the least wanted thing to hope for while racing, can’t someone please post up a GT5 video of some actual racing as opposed to treating the cars in the game as if they were in a destruction derby?
    As for my opinion on damage in the game, its as realistic as its gonna get for now, they deserve a pat on the back for making it look that great, and remember, this isn’t the first time that damage has been in the GT series. There was mechanical damage in GT2, It was done okay but without the visual damage, it felt too artificial to be in the game
