Oh my god… I think I just came in my pants a little bit! This game is going to be insane! Forget Forza 3, it’s just a Gran Turismo clone. It can never beat the real thing!
When this game comes out I wont eat, sleep or leave the house for months! Lol, I’ll have my girlfriend saying “c’mon honey, lets have sex…” and I’ll be like “no bitch! can’t you see I’ve nearly got enough money for the Lamborghini Murcielago!?!?”

Okay, people. I had a chance to look at the actual magazine article. Let me just tell you… Polyphony Digital never fails to deliver on surprises. I noticed the two pictures of night racing with the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG. The track in question was most likely Special Stage Route 5. The environment actually looks and seems dark. The night pictures from the pages of that magazine has about the most realistic night look I’ve seen in any GT. It’s actually DARK, and I even noted reflections of the paint on the road. This game will blow minds.
I’m very impressed with the night driving deal as much as any other news tidbits from this magazine. How can you NOT be excited for this if you are a GT fan?

As good as all this news is, I still can’t stand the uber-stiff chase cam. This is my preferred view to play the game.
After playing the time trial demo, it seems even stiffer than GT4, which I forced myself to get used to, just so I was able to play the game. It’s a nightmare on the rally when the rigidity of the camera makes it appears that the car remains motionless and the track just spins around it. As it does whenever you spin off the track. It makes me feel sick and sends my eyes funny!
I’ve owned and played every single incarnation of GT. They went back to the more loose chase cam for GTPSP, a la GT1-3, to which I rejoiced, and hope it would be like this for GT5.
The thing is with me, I just love to see the latest car I’ve just bought in the game in all it’s HD rendered glory, not the bumper cam where all I see are 2 giant dials, that’s basically a total waste of time rendering the car!
I suppose the cockpit cam is the next best thing, but it’s not ideal for how I like to play the game. Which is why it won’t be an essential purchase. More a rent to see if I get on with either the stiff ‘rotating track round the car’ cam, or the cockpit cam.

It’s Gran Turismo, what did you expected?. Those who criticized GT4, try to make something better with PS2 Hardware.

Posted about this months ago. Most of those things were talked during the last E3, those who were there know about it.

This is not a fake, if you were doubting. After seeing the news update I went and picked up a copy of the Feb. issue of Playstation Mag from one of our local stores. Sure, enough it was on the shelf…

tire marks should be in it because the creator, what ever his name is, said in an interview somewhere that he likes to pay attention to detail like a tree on the side of the road that is there in real life and you might not no that, so if he wants to make it that real i think that little things like tire marks and reverse lights are a must have, and tire marks do make my experience much better, and for those of us that like to muck around would like it too, it gets boring just racing around tracks its all the same, they need to have a open world stage and more customizing and i no allot of you just race fanboys hate but the majority of people want a bit more freedom than just a car and a circle to play with, thats why forza is not such a bad game it has a real community, i could go on and on but i just hope gt5 delivers.
