Complete Lap of GT5’s Nordschleife in an SLS AMG

If I was in Europe, I’d get myself down to this demo. And then I’d drive it. They’d have to kick me out!

that was pretty cool, seemed to be a lot more forgiving when he was on the grass, i think that was on standard physics, i’m assuming the default setup was sport S3 tyres, because a real SLS would run the real life equivalent of N3 tyres.

can’t wait for this game to land, i even take an update on GT5 Prologue with the new physics system to tide us over. actually, can’t imagine how much longer this title would get delayed if they decided to take the time out to do that….

It would have been nice if he said a bit about the sound, besides it being muffled.

@vitz: That’s completely true regarding the grass, but it was not so forgiving if you touched the rubber strip (correct translation?) as you can see in the first corner after the long straight.
You’re correct with the tires, too. We had to set the tires to racing tires before we could get really good times.

@DaveTheSTalker: Well, I can’t really tell you more than you actually hear in the vid. You know, there was a loop of a trailer and interview with Yamauchi in the background all the time and another installment on the other side. Combined with the quite silent speakers you weren’t able to make a decent drive with manual gearing because you couldn’t really hear engine’s rpm.

@slyght completely agree. all i have to base it on is the physics that came with the time trial demo, where if you put a wheel on the grass, you’re off.

great lap though, unlucky to get caught out on the main straight.

OOOOO YEEES SLS and Nordschleife – AGAIN !!!!!!

GREAT GREAT very New and revealing
it reveals that the game would have cars and tracs

@ Andrea
Very relevent post, well done.

Couldn’t help but notice that sense of speed aswell. Obviously the game is on standard physics, first because most people who go there aren’t gonna be very good, and second because if you were Mercedes, would you make people think your car was impossible to drive :)

AI still looks mindless

What is the name of the song? Same as the SLS trailer

I was driving that lap and slyght was filming.
There is a small competition for the fastest time so it was essential to get by the other cars fast to have room to drive.
Sound was almost not perceptible, even sitting directly in front of the speakers.

There was one guy turning on professional and, well yes, took a spin… ;:)
Others tried that physics too but didn’t finish more than one straight clean.

FF with the Driving Force GT was quite weak to give kids and everyone a chance to drive. Effects were very low.

Without any sound and feedback you have to drive strictly from monitor, checking speeds etc., that’s why some corners were too fast or grass

It’s standard physics!!!! With TC on maybe on 1-2… I want to see this car on ring with pro physics with TC off!!!!! I drive without driving aids…

AI still sucks monkey balls

I think the AI is purposely bad. They don`t want the people who never once played GT to get frustrated.

At last, someone who can actually keep the car on the track.

TheHell
GO far from here and play with you’r fuc…. fm4!!shut up man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@theHell
Forza4 will come soon, cause Forza 3 was just an UPDATE of Forza2, so it was Forza 2.5 ;)

This track looks good, but it is just and again only the Tourist Version without any racing atmosphere. That is bad.

I´ve found a video of the WIP Nordschleife 2009 for GTR Evo and rFactor by Com8. You can see, how the Nordshleife should look like

Hmmm…..there were absolutely no simulated vibrations in the cockpit when he ran over the grass at over 100mph. Now that isn’t real life simulation. I want bone shaking vibrations which affect my vision (well, image) so I am forced to be more careful, not a smooth run over the green stuff which can give me an advantage.

PS How does the DFGT compare to the G25? Those DFGT pedals look flimsy.

@ the idiots who say the the AI is “dumb” have you ever played Prologue?, it had an AI difficulty option remember.

anyways this videos show how good the driving is, the sense of speed, the perfect under and over steering.

Just amazing.

@TheHell, why do you bring an arcade game to this GT article?

so i am takin it there will be no bikes from tt in gt5… but this looks really good idk if anyone else noticed this but the trees look amazing

Duke Nukem Forever game designers are saying that the game will be released in a bundle with GT5

This looks awesome, even if it’s standard physics it looks like FUN with a capital PH!

TheHell: Hey douche, you better change your screen name in about 6 months or you’ll be eating a whole lotta crow. ps: lay off the vodka, your posts are embarrassing.

Polyphony, how about releasing this car and track for Gran Turismo 5: Prologue spec IV? :):):)

@Watevaman

If your in a competition and everyone has the same car, would you let that person at the back of you go through without a battle? The A.I. in this demo seems it’s in competition mode and not a track day mode dummy.

1 for car bastard

sam doesn’t know what he’s talking about

Well, at least we have some action, and nothing compares to nurburgring in it’s full glory.

The driver used standard physics as mostly of the players probably will do, of course professional is much more fun, but it takes time to master each track and each car.

@blubb – Yes, it’s a pity to see the Ring with absolutely no spectators and tents again, same as in GT4. I was hoping, they would do something about it with the power of PS3. What’s so difficult, placing cardboard-spectators, and some animated ones of course around the track ?
Guess, we’ll have to wait – PD might surprise us all !!

The average Joe, CAN NOT catch up to -4 place lead. Honestly, have you ever watch any JGTC races, or any race for that matter. If the AI was at max, then the game would frustrate everybody, and scare away casual gamer who would want to buy the game. In most, all gt races the cars are barely, CRUISING, so you may have a chance at beating them. The game it catered to the masses and not a selected few.

Very cool.

8 minute lap? driving pretty conservative but too much car bumping, grass coverage, and fatal collision at the end to be considered “clean”.
an normal mercs would come with sports tyres, I simply do not see this car getting N3 stocks. Maybe S2 or S3’s.
Like come on, even cars like the BMW M3 CSL get R1 tyres.

@Watevaman

A#$hole? :lol:

In a track day event that would be the right thing to do when there’s a faster car coming, but in a race session? Nope, a lot of people will just laugh in your face by doing that or you could do that if your car is damage really bad and unable to race. The point here is that they are all driving the same car and since the A.I. can’t be adjust to be a track day friendly A.I, your stuck with A.I. that want’s to win. You don’t have to call someone a#$hole to prove your point.

I still see the tires still screech on every little turn.

@JCee
you do know that damage is disabled in the demo. DAMAGE IS CONFIRMED as of last year.

heh there was definitely a few times where he should’ve lost it….then i noticed the ESP light flashing….however i recently had the chance to try the GT Academy trial on a 55″ LED Samsung TV sitting about 8ft back….let me just say this game is meant to be experienced on a good and big screen….it just looks unbelievable and so absorbing. I for one am happy that the game is delayed…gives me a chance to get more money and replace my aging 32″ LCD. When you see it on a big expensive tv, you can understand just how far this game has come and I can say it actually feels exhilirating to drive….Yamauchi and PD are truly working on something momentous….i cant wait to take a lambo or a ferrari for a rip!!

The guys that come on here just to trash GT5,I guarentee you work for Turn10.lets not forget that ugly freak Che Chou was handing out bribes on Neo Gaf and to Cnet to shut up.now thats sad.forza being the game they had to patch gear changing Lmao

Nice Ride.. beautiful deep queuing camera, slow AI and not that aggresive, that a Race would be.. but i guess is just a Demo.. LOL

Finally a video where some one can drive. I was getting tired of all those random videos of randoms driving. Great job. Too bad you ate the wall on dead mans curve.

@Bernd
it wasn´t any wind tunnel effect or aerodynamic effext while driving through the smok. The first car came on the grass and threw up some dirt, the second car did the same.

Very good lighting and an awsome sense of speed. Lets hope the frame rate can handle it with ZERO jerkiness. Man this wait is agony.

If I can drive my CTR Yellow Bird round here, I am in pure heaven.

PD must have a massive trump card up their sleeve, because this video does not warrant 5 years :-S

@big Ron.. I agree, but it does look interesting the way it acts in general, so they might have spiced it up bit, this is the kind of stuff that creates tension and exitement, and a feeling of a dynamic world around you, and it’s a little dry for what we have seen yet, from any new track, some of worse causes of crashes, is involved a lot of Tire smoke, which is the cause of other behind the crash, crashes as well, because of now clear sight, and also it would make the area spread with dust for the next round, and then i might be more slippery, but does it reaslly do that in this serie at all ?, it should though, because that’s some of the situations that causes a big difference in the standings, and it a typical unlucky thing that happens in almost any races today .. and fack’s up the standing for the championship for any good driver..:O)

Think it’s great to finally see the tower instant, when you go out to the straights last long section of the track, it normally pops up when driving in all other sims, But not in GT5 weee and that’s a big plus from PD..

But i still wonder if PD have planted the right trees around the track, because that’s one of the great things to remembering the bends and curves, the different tree sorts, is often used by real race drivers to do that, as I’ve seen in the 24hour Nurnberg Nordsliefe Race program, with a interview with Klock..

Its still a HD version of the GT4 track. For the on-track part it aint no problem since GT4 was just spot on, but the scenery is still from 2003/2004. Meanwhile the advertising around the track changed. The walls have OPC advertising on them instead of red arrows, and Audi placed some billboards around the track. And next to the Northsleife Hotel at Breidscheid a new apartment building has been build, wich isn’t seen here either. Yeah i know, it are just little details, but i do expect a perfectionistic company as PD to get it 100% right (guess we may expect that level of perfection after 6 year, and with only 20 locations in the game).
And the trees…… They are still flat :S

@sam
AI level means the sort of cars that are on the track. if you choose 1 then you have some slow cars. And if you choose 100(101 only F1) you got the fastest cars on the track. It has nothing to do with how good the AI cars react on you.
That’s still the problem that the AI cars still drive in one line on the track.
Sam you don’t understand what we mean so probably you are the one who don’t understand GT5p.

‘Micdog,
Me thinks some people have forgotten the whole ‘demo’ thing’

How long can PD get away with showing the same ‘demo’, with the same flaws.

Literally nothing new has been seen for the best part of 12 months.

We shouldn’t be at the stage were GT5 needs to be ‘defended’ anylonger due to each video looking so mediocre.

That is the best video in simulation mode, we´ve ever seen. Great fights, great driving, great physics. Thanks for the link

Thx helix_9 this is really a great video which shows the awesome driving in GT5.
Haven’t seen anything better.
