Oh men november couldn’t take any longer! I can’t wait for my signature edition!!!
In the cockpit view, what is that white thing beside the driver’s right hand?
I must admit that the scenery isn’t as good as, say, FM3, but when you’re moving at high speeds, you can’t notice the 2-D halves at all. It’s quite the wonderful mind trick :)
(or eye-trick, whatever you want to call it)
2012 GT6 release? Sarcasm; I love it.
Yamaguchi is make this world go under! We must act now.
In 2011 another financial crisis will be present due to people being fired from their job, just to play GT5.
Mankind will survive, but not by much!
And we all know that the world will go under in 2012 due to the GT6 release.
Yes. I was very impressed by the trees. I won’t be able to stay on the road in GT5 now because of the beautiful scenery and trees.
Thx for linking my vid Jordan. :) And did someone note the pseudo-3D trees at around 2:30?
I need a break from Le Sarthe. I just spent all last week doing the Circuit de La Sathe II 24hr endurance race in a barely drivable Jag XJR-9.
“super colossal”
it was a piss take for all those whingers and moaners!
Anyone notice the “Flash” button on the Calsonic GT-R’s steering wheel. We’ve seen a SuperGT Lexus flashing it’s lights. It’s cool to see further evidence that we will, indeed, be able to flash our lights at slower traffic…or maybe at people who are over blocking or just to say hi.
I want a proper hood cam… it feels like driving a bus from viewing that high up…
JORDAN is there ever going to be another playable psn demo before the release date in the uk
I don’t think so.
Finally–a video where the player actually KNOWS how to virtually pilot a car! Those have been few and far between at Gamescom and the rest.
The track detail is outstanding. It looks like you can read the track a lot better looking for bumbs and such should be much easier.
1:36..
Need I say more?..
I’m so dissapointed with the latest videos, I can still see no evidence of birds flying or insects hitting the screen. What about leaves and other debris on the track, so unrealistic…….
This is GT6 Prologue…
It’s SSSOOOOO unrealistic because of those things…listen to yourself…we’re not going to buy GT5 to birdwatch. Focus on the actual purpose of the game. It’s a freaking RACING simulator. Not Tiger Woods golf tournament.
@Super_Colossal
I’m pretty sure he was being sarcastic…
I would sell my Mother for customisable Race suits, helmets and gloves.
You probly wont get much if your mother was any more useless than that idea of yours is…
You were able to do that in Tourist Trophy, so what you said is irrelevent.
@LoneWanderer
Yeah but in tourist trophy your driver, well rider, is on a motorcycle and able to be seen. in GT you cant see the driver in any view for the most part and if you do, its just his head. so whats the point. it would just be taking up space that is needed or better things
Nice shutter effect… not too much but it gives the feel of speed… and the sounds seem to be MUCH, MUCH better now…
I wonder if there’s a video from Gamescom showing damage, especially on NASCAR cars.
I don’t expect that, guess, we’ll see it all at TGS, end of September
2nd video had atrocious driving as always
First video is among the first 2-3 we’ve seen from gamescom
I thought Gamersyde didn’t want their videos anywhere but on their own website.
i wish if they put nitrous in gt5 xD … it would be fun … they can put it in arcade mode …. why they don’t put it ? .. they use it in real , so why not ? .. :)
nitrous was in GT4 too . obviously its gonna be in GT5 too .
i hope ur right … i’ll buy 2 gt5 and play with my brother, it’s really kool …. i hope the customise is better then the other games , i love customise in car games like need for speed … i know this game is different but it will be kool if it gives us the same experince like need for speed pro street , i made a car in it and then i saw it in real ,it was kool ..
Insane reflections on the front of the car in the first video!
Nice!
They seem to have captured the changes in gradients a lot better than F3, coming back up towards the Porsche curves, the change in elevation is more pronounced.
First video was awesome, also SPA GP was great. Spa would be a nice addition, but for now, I’m happy with what I have.
“[…] also SPA GP was great.”
What are you talking about? O.o
Forget it. You were referring to the F1 race yesterday XD
Played Forza 3 the other day with the same car (first video) on the same track (ironic, huh?), and, of course, the cockpit view in this is A LOT more detailed. Same with the outside of the car. And Forza 3 doesn’t map out the bumpiness of the straight. Plus, the engine is sounding closer to Forza 3’s. What the heck, Forza can’t compare to this!!! GT forever!!! :D
It’s not that the bumpiness of the straight isn’t mapped out in Forza, it’s just that cars are ridiculously stable at high speeds in that game regardless.
Oh… it still proves which is better, though xP And Forza’s physics seem more like NFS: Shift’s physics the more I play GT5:P. (can’t wait to port my completed garage into GT5!!! :D)
I’ll just ask you this; are actually saying that FM3 physics are like NFS Shift physics?
How are you playing these games? With a steering wheel or a regular controller?
I see what you mean… I don’t have a wheel for the PS3, sadly. I made an oath to get one for GT5, though x) (I don’t even own an Xbox, I was playing on my friend’s)
Also, in NFS: Shift, there’s lag on the steering, so that doesn’t help to compare either.
Ok Geo 212, but even with a regular controler Forza is wayyyyyyyyyyy ahead of NFS Shift.
Perhaps you’re right… I haven’t played NFS: Shift in forever, since I dumped it after maybe a month of playing it. I’m probably just “remembering” wrong :P
Saw a weird hand movement in second video when he is spinning out he tries to shift when his left hand is it 12:00
Man the head vibration seems a lot better now that almost looked real going in to the first corner
I think we need dynamic rain in this game, that would be better than damage in my opinion and would add immensely to the game.. hope it’s in.
nice!
It could be awesome to drive a go-kart race on Circuit de la Sarthe, a long lap, but still going to try it, if possible.
Talking about the technology of the GT5 engine…
Look at the reflections over the car. The scenery pops up (sec. 0:54) and the other cars are not reflected, but this is better than nothing, and better than all the others.
So while in game, when something is marked by PD as “reflectant”, a little image of the scenery is calculated (like with the mirrors but with less detail).
Don’t expect dynamic weather, if there is any. There is no enough power to calculate it like in F1 2010 (at 1080p it is impossible). Sorry. But with dynamic day/night (and all the other details) and this quality I am happy for now. Expect it for GT6 and with an engine improved.
is it the sl55 or sl65 ?
in the 2nd video, the hood looks like SLR Mclaren.
look closely the 2nd video at 1:00 till 1:03s
Yeah the give away was the outside cammera…..
Hmm…
Seems like the crazy slipstream effect is still in. That skyline just eats the other cars up in a straight line, just like in prologue and every GT game before it.
Hope I am wrong.
The slipstream effect isn’t THAT pronounced.. the reason he catches them quicker than normal is because on exiting the corner before the first long straight, he runs way over the exit curb allowing him to carry a lot more exit speed than the AI that stayed within the track boundaries.
He gets a tow no doubt, but it doesn’t look like the vacuum that used to suck you along. The question that really matters is how pronounced the slipstreaming is on normal cars that don’t have any aerodynamic parts, because the tow should be minimal.
Another possibility: The Player1-car is always a bit stronger to help these mostly unexperienced players
I agree with Bernd, plus the possibility of the Calsonic being faster than the other cars. There’s another Calsonic going very fast.
What concerns me is the abrupt movement of the other Calsonic exactly at 1:35. He turns right too fast to try to overtake.
@Vulcao – You’re right, didn’t notice that before. I’ve seen F1 cars moving that fast, but I doubt a JGTC can do it
Really nice driving in 1st video and i love the way that supra tried to overtake him. In gt4 or gt5p the car would of just gone straight into the back of you and make you go wide in the corner and then overtake you.
I can’t believe that of all the stupid things people moan about on here, no one has picked up on the most annoying thing about this game. The moving sky. sky doesn’t move when you turn a corner, or go around a gentle curve (in real life). The only time the sky doesn’t move is when you are going in a straight line on gt. when i look at all the other amazing things in the game, this doesn’t bother me that much. but when i watch a video like the one above, with lots of skyline (not the car), then it becomes noticable. I know it’s just a wrap around sky, but you’d think they could make it better with all the advancements in graphics and cpu power we have now. Anyway, great game. cant wait. rant over.. cheers.
Relax
And one of the most stupid things ever said is your sky comment.. wtf, I mean when you turn a corner the sky will move as you are changing direction… It looks fabulous.. can’t see the problem.
Only real problem with this game is I’m not playing it right now!
Ukgtfan, I hope for your own sake that you were being highly sarcastic there.
No, i wasn’t being sarcastic. look out the side window next time you’re in a car. The sky doesn’t move. It’s so far away as to give the illusion of not moving. when you are in a car travelling, the clouds don’t whiz past!! they remain static. The sky does not move as you turn slightly round a corner.., it completly spoils the illusion of racing in a real environment..
Ok, do me a favour, go outdoors, look up at the sky, then walk round a corner and tell me if you’re still looking at the same piece of sky! If you are then I’m afraid you need to get checked out.
Actually UKgtfan, the sky doesnt move, your direction changes, giving you a new field of view. in real life it seems the field of view doesnt change much due to periferal vision. Due to the fact that you looking through a tv screen, it becomes much more apparent.
now pipe down!
Actually, on GT5 you can tell the sky is fixed to the ground, when you turn a corner, watch the buildings move and the sky moves with them. this is not correct.
Now this is becoming silly.It looks absolutely gorgeous. Besides, I’m not looking to the sky that much, when I’m in the middle of pack.
Amazing!!!
i love JGTC’s cars!!
In many video’s the colours seems are a bit of, especially the grass. I don’t know about you guys but in my country the grass isn’t that (almost radiant) green. Does this have something to do with how they captured the video?
I just think about it, perhaps it has something to do with the settings of the TV.
Lots of TV’s have their greyscale purposely set incorrectly by the factory so that when the unit is on display in shops, you get really green grass and people who don’t know much about TV’s think that it must mean the picture is really good. It’s the same as making the whites a little bluer… it makes them look more white than true white.
The fact that this is all “off-screen” footage means that it’s impossible to judge the graphics. In fact the game will look slightly less photo-realistic when you play it yourself as the lighting changes that occur when capturing to camera often make a game look better than it is.
Not long now though :)
I think, the grass is too colorful, like in GT5P, while the track is too dark and glossy. Normally tarmac should be grey and matt, not almost black, unless it’s very new tarmac
But – no problem with that
Woot! Finally a decent driver. You guys don’t know how disappointing it’s been watching people play the game ahead of time and all they seek to do is crash, CraSh, CRASH! PD has done an epic job with GT5.
Online the do standing starts, in career yho the norm is rolling, not sure why tho
Porkchop sandwiches?
Anybody know the release date for Australia??
Don’t Worry. I Found It, November 4!
Crap I got the 3rd off work for nothing … although I would probably be too distracted to work anyway.
Spa > Sarthe
you < other peoples opinions
LOL
Karun Chandhok > Bruno Senna
The first video is top notch. Doesnt matter whether you have the racing line on or not. Ihave seen some videos with it on and the driving is actually appauling.
The LA Sarthe Track looks fantastic. Going down the Mousanne straight with the two red bands either side of you feels differnt and the track looks a lot better than Codies version in Race Driver Grid. I didnt do the Le Man 24 hour but I did do the Nordschlieffe 24 hour in GT4 as well sa the 4 hour enduro but to be honest I would much prefer it if they had the choice as they do in Race Driver Grid. 20 minutes = 24 hours or 2 hours = 24 hours or the whole 24 hour race. But for me if its 24 hours then you would have to be able to save it. They give you speeded up dynamic lighting so theres no way that the option is not available to be done. But I suppose we will have to wait and see.
As to Rolling starts, I think with 16 cars on the grid, that will be the norm. If its 1 on 1’s for certain things then it could be a standing start. 16 cars is the max that will be in anyone race so I cant see with everyone starting at once from a standing start then it will be a tad much even for the Cell Proccessor. Again we will have to wait and see.
Can you explain what’s the difficulty, why the cell processor can’t handle that ? Is it smoke or the sudden movement of 16 cars (or both)?
after racing on this track on grid. The track seems to be too narrow on gran turismo because its really wide on grid. i know codemasters lazer scan their tracks. im not sure how PD does it other than photos
In some videos I have seen from PD they had a camera tethered on the roof of the car looking forward backwards, tot he left and tot he right. helicopter shots, trackside shots and quite possibly another way but I cant remember what its called now.
Back in 2003 or so, I read that PD’s accuracy in copying tracks is better than 0.75in
Codemasters didn’t model it as accurately. In real life, this is pretty much how the real circuit looks. Hell, look at the Ford Chicane. We all know in real life you can’t go through there at the speeds you do on Grid. You have to at least go down to 2nd or 1st gear. The curbs are also innaccurate as they for the most part are flat.
I didn’t know codemasters laser scan their tracks. their version of Spa is pretty poor, the bus stop in particular.
How long before all the whingers start moaning about these videos. Counting down the days :-)
Hmm, I’ll start. Sense of speed didn’t look too crash hot in video 1, for what those cars on, they didn’t look very fast.
We can’t 100% judge the videos till we play the game, but that was just my observation.
It felt like that to me but dont forget the speed was in KMH and not MPH :)
And don’t forget, driving on a circuit also reduces the sence of speed compared to driving on normal road (in my opinion).
ZoID is absolutely right. I think the sense of speed is fairly accurate. Games like NFS SHift are severely exaggerated.
Don’t forget that youtube videos are not recorded in full FPS.
ZIEL!
Pardon my ignorance but I’m new to the GR franchise but have we had any standing start footage yet? Hopefully it’s not a rolling start on every race
Not sure about standing starts in GT5, but we had them in GT4: Tokyo R246, El Capitan, Trial Mountain, Apricot Hill, Suzuka, Fuji come to mind. So we can hope for some in GT5, I think :-)
lol that’s exactly what I wanna know! Grid starts are more fun, they better include them!
Im not sure. But i do know that for F1 races online in GT5:Prologue were standing starts
@ Philmangt
What edition of Prologue are you playing? There were no grid starts in the entire game.
@Super_Colossal
Just the regular version lol. Like do an online event with the f1 cars only. usually the expert events. suzuka, fuji are always standing starts
1st video good driving? I thought itvwas pretty average, (plus he had the driving line on!)
Anybody seen 16 premium cars on track? I’m starting to wonder if it’s 8 premium and 16 non std on track……….
Anyway, looking great!
Compared to the other videos, the guy driving is not as bad compared to the rest of the blokes. Can’t blame them though, some of them are actually getting the footage for us while driving with one hand.
Not an easy feat, I reckon.
Yes, i clearly saw 16 premium cars on the nordschleife video before.
and even in GT5 Prologue you have 16 cars in track and there is premium cars in GT5P
nice trees
63 more days!!!
Someone reply to me with a good playlist of artist or musical
I mean something relaxing for GT5
Im looking for music to relax on 24h races & photomode
:) so help me out with good relax music any song
& thanks Jordan
You should be the one who owns the GT official website
You give us better news!!!
& woah
I cant wait to use an FTO LM Edition
:)
I hope they have that car
Or it would be funny if the old van from GT2 is on GT5
The Renault van
Yes, the Espace F1, I’d like to give that one a try on te Nurburgring.
Hey xSTRAIGHTEDGEx!!! Ive just saw your request of some gooddddd relaxing music.I’m also counting the days with a little counter on my mac,and for all these years of waiting I continued to expand my music library on my ps3 considerably reducing the last few gigabytes on my HDD.I will recommend these artist: Air,Glenn underground,Ryuchi Sakamoto,The Cinematic Orchestra.Try also to check those albums,you can easily find it on google: Cafe del Mar,100 Chillout Classics,Cafe Solaire,Chilled Acoustic,Hed Kandi Lounge,Ibiza chillout,ibiza lounge,la nuit,Stereo Sushi.Check out also these radios:deep fm,deepinside,Dogglounge.If you have other question send me an email.Bye.
Hey few moments ago someone said something like 90 days left and now we’re only 60 days away from GT5 /fap fap fap
HI there, ow are you man! if you want a killer artist to listen to, try Prince and especially a track called ‘computer blue’ the guitar lick in there is just awesome. Also try Outkast, red hot chilli peppers with the californication album, fleetwood mac ‘the chain’
those are the ones off the top of my head and one more system with their albums hypnotize and mezmerise.
If i remember any more i will let you know.
bye4now
Finally someone who can drive .
I like the cheeky attempt from the a1 to overtake. (2.45 first video)
Yes, but he had to withdraw. I’ve seen a similar attack in the German ADAC GT-Masters this weekend. A Lamborghini Gallardo didn’t want to withdraw against an Audi R8, both cars wrecked and out of the race :-(
Scratch a man’s back and he’ll purr like a walrus.
Wow! I’m Surprised That This Guy Can Drive Properly! :P (1st Video)
And Circuit De La Sarthe Looks Awesome, Can’t Wait For The Whole Game!
Calsonic! My Fav!
1st video : At 1:36.
Really good!!!
Yeah the AI was impressive there. how it darted to the other side since you were coming up on the on that side! XD
Good to see a proper hoodcam view, will come in handy on standard cars. Also looked like the stig was driving in the first video compared to some other videos we have seen lol.
soz, I’m not down with the times but have PD changed the outside car view so that its closer now as compared with GT5P?
@J1M_Aus On the Skyline it looks like they have but for some reason on the SLR McLaren it seems annoyingly far away.
I thought the same at first, but that is just the normal roof cam on a very low car.
I like the hoodcam view. The most convenient.
And probably will be easier to do better lap times on the track than on the camera inside the car.
lol that’s what I thought too.
Nice too see how the car handles and stuff instead of going full speed into the wall.
Also, can’t wait to see the led lights on the G27 to light up in corresponding to the RPM of the car.
Le Mans + Night Racing + Dynamic Rain (Hopefully) = Unprecedented awesome.
Ya that why i won’t care about the 10 GB of space needed to run this AMAZING game. and I’ll add to what you said. 24 hours of Le Mans + Nurburgring + Dynamic Weather + Graphics = The Greatest Simulator Ever Made
thats true, weather is probably the last thing to be confirmed and its the thing i want most of all in the game!
anyone see spa gp yesterday? i want a race like that on gt5 all the rain and pitting for new tyres would be awesome, as long as your not jenson button! :)
@jaketovey. I saw the GP and was exciting.
Imagine in GT5, the race of 1000km of Spa with some good race car of LMP1 like Peugeot 908 HDI-FAP or Audi R8,10,15??? or LMP2 like Pescarolo… also the LMGT1 and LMGT2 category with: Corvette C6 R, Ford GT, Viper SRT, DBR9, Saleen S7, Murcielago, Ferrari F430 GT, BMW M3, etc. And you can only choose one category, the others 15 cars are the same category, that means a tight battle. And finaly imagine Spa closed by dark clouds, driving in cockpit view and finally crossing “Eau Rouge” raining.
Already started moving all my ps3 stuff to my 1tb hard drive
@witham
Can you link to the 1TB 2.5″ HDD that has a height of 9.5mm? Every one I look at seems to come in at a height of 12.5mm and wont fit in my PS3.
I would buy one this very moment if a 1TB drive would fit inside the system.
For future coolness, remember that 750GB is the biggest number you can throw around when referring to the size of your hard drive installed inside your PS3.
…unless you’ve somehow cleanly modded your system using precision craftsmanship to accept the taller 12.5mm height of 1TB 2.5″ drives or simply ran some SATA extensions from the stock connections. Awesome, if so.
1TB 2.5″ 9.5mm drives should arrive at some point, but that time is not today.
Nice!!!
Funny how those desperate to get the first comment in rarely say more than a couple words as they panic over it!
@ Mr Frappy
LOL That’s so true!
Mentality of FIRST!
by FlareKR
A long time, when computers weren’t around, people were thirsty. They would walk around the desert looking for water. When one of them got water they said “FIRST!” due to a speech impediment, bringing on a lack of producing a TH sound, brought on to them by lack of water. They usually drank it all, while everyone else killed themselves drinking motor oil after watching Quantum of Solace.
Later, people “thirsty for attention” and lack of a certain male organ, started to do the same to the Forum GTPlanetum (and just about every thing you can comment on), barging through the front doors of the forum without a toga screaming FIRST!. However, after a while, people with lives started to get pissed off, apart from the anger building up from the invasion of trolls that were knocking down columns.
After knowing they would be ridiculed repeatedly, the “thirsty” GTPlanetans, started replace, FIRST, with other one syllable comments like COOL, NICE. Other sane people replied with less nicer one word syllables, usually those starting with an F. So in the end, you can bring a horse to water, but he’s probably already there.
-The End
Phew, I’m saving that and putting it on every “first” from now on, lol. It’s good to see LeMans, but I think we already confirmed the track. We need to start looking for a complete car list.
@FlareKR
Cool story bro.
