   Yeah Monza is cool and the karts are also interesting but they don´t look so realistic, i mean the physics. It is a bit arcade like and it does not drift well like the real kart does in curves. But its a cool feature just rain and dynamic weather needs to be added the last 2 and a haf months till the release and we all will be cheerful :D

     The physics could be set to standard… if they’re not, I don’t think I’ll be using karts much. :P

    Course Maker, hm… hm ….

    @Jordan
    So we`ll soon need a section here to share new track. And i suggest as rule #1. The first one to create the Initial D Akina track gets a news entry here and kisses (on the mouth) from all of the members here. :)

    So finally the whining about missing skidmarks and the lack of processing power to simulate them will stop.

    Congrats guys, u have your skidmarks !

    • August 18th, 2010 at 5:57 am - #

      It isn’t the processing power that’s a problem, it’s the amount of RAM that’s the problem. Big difference between the two.

      256MB XDR Main RAM @3.2GHz
      256MB GDDR3 VRAM @700MHz

      That’s a tiny amount of ram.. even for a 5 year old PC. That’s a HUGE bottleneck of sorts, and limits the PS3 in a lot of different ways. Smoke, dust, skidmarks, and antialiasing are probably all affected by this limitation. Processing power has nothing to do with it really.

      Agreed, lack of RAM, not power.

      GT4 run only with 32MB of system RAM and 4MB of VIDEO.

      Luke

      You have to tell that to the people talking about the lack of processing power.
      I never cared for skidmarks.

    • August 18th, 2010 at 7:35 am - #

      BWX

      I care about anything that happens in real life. The more realism they can stuff into the game the better. I’m glad they did skidmarks..

    DoctorFouad

    Hi Guys, great news ! But are we sure the skidmarks will stick to the ground the whole laps, or will disappear after a determined number of seconds

    wont this need a lot of RAM from the ps3 ?

    • August 18th, 2010 at 6:14 am - #

      GaBe_LoGaN

      Maybe they create a magical algorhytm to use less RAM. All is possible.

      They should somehow cache it to the hard disk.

    I hope the will put this demo on the PSN ! I’m fed up to watch videos of demo, I want to play them !

    Nevertheless that is some great news ! Now waiting for :
    - clear definition of differences between Premium and Standard car
    - car & track lists
    - damage improvement
    - confirmation of untimely breakdowns
    - Big IA improvement
    - Max number of IA on track (last videos shew tons)
    - Porsche ??? In such game this is bad not to see such a historical sport car builder, want to drive GT3 RS, GT2, GT1, 917, 918, 356, Carrera GT, 993, … and more !

      Marcus

      yeah i think porsche has missed the mark completly here giving not giving gt5 there cars. i wonder why forza 3 and nfs both get them.

    Ferrari P4 Race ‘67, XJ13 ‘66, MkIV Ford ‘67
    Search for the cars on google. OMG whaaa
    GT5 will be superb.

    joel

    ahh ok. i think F1 2010 may be doing this. dirt 2 also has varying levels of grip around some of it tracks. but gt5 is pretty big as it is anyhow!

    the ’20 locations’ thing is starting to make sense.
    Piazza del Campo is a square in the city of Siena ; the San Galgano abbey is only 15km away. And… both are in Tuscany.

    • August 18th, 2010 at 5:01 am - #

      gt3luke

      i think the 20 locations are countries

    • August 18th, 2010 at 5:07 am - #

      MSH

      Possibly, but they have always been mysterious about it.
      So maybe in this case ‘Toscana’ may count as a location too.

    joel

    Does a little dance. i cannot wait!

    Just wondering. Race days online, starts of as a green track, the more use, the more it gets rubbered in? dynamic track conditions?

    combine this with dynamic weather? it rains one day at laguna seca, track goes greener?

    that though has made me a bit moist.

      Bernd

      I don’t think PS3 has the capacity to show all the skidmarks
      throughout the entire race. We possibly may see that in GT6 on PS4

      terminator363

      I want gt6 on PS3!!!!!!!!!!!

      terminator363

      gt7 on ps4, I don’t want to spend money on new consoles
