PD ruined every license in GT5, a unbelievable waste of money!

Nascar... WRC... Ferrari F1 license... Top Gear...

Let´s hope T10 will do it better...
 
3D displays are only here for the short term. 3D is a gimmick and will be gone before it came. The 3D movie attendance is already down year over year and that is with MORE 3D movies out.
Pretty much my thoughts 👍
 
Anyone else think maybe Turn10 has scored exclusive rights to the Circuit of the Americas? Could that be one of the new tracks?
 


New vid, and I'm posting this with two things in mind:

>Now they are finally addressing the surface issues.
>Time Changes?(or two versions of the same track with different time setting, CGI movie is also possible).

Finally, something that makes me interested in this thing.
 
I saw an Oreca Peugeot 908 HDi FAP! Better add that to the car list (if it's not there already).
 
What's the car they show, when the developer is sitting at the computer playing the game with the Xbox controller?

@2:52
 
Oreca Pegueot 908 HDi FAP that ran at Le Mans and Sebring this year ;)
 
I'm not entirely sure, but judging from the quick cockpit view, it looks a like a 908 HDI.
Edit* Ah, tree'd.

If I had the motivation I'd take a screenshot and compare the nose of it to the real thing but I really cbf, however, you heard it from me that the 2011 Oreca Pug will be in FM4 first! :dopey:
 
When this game ships it needs to come with 3 pairs of Hanes underwear because there's going to be some "OMG !!!!" going on. That track and lighting looks fantastic. One thing I'm starting to feel is they can cut back just a tad on the glare. Somewhere between FM3 and what they have now but leaning more to what they have now. Just my 2 cents.
 
I wonder if they'll give us the older Hockenheimring?
 
I see they have improved the tarmac shine and over satuated grass.

Looks awesome.

And has anyone noticed different gloves? I have noticed both Forza logo gloves and Alpinestar gloves in various cockpit videos between E3 and the above posted video. Possibly something that is unlockable in career? Sorry if I am asking about old news...

Well a nice update with that new trailer and lets hope this is one of the tracks on the show floor at Gamesom.
Grabbed some snapshots which may not be reflective of the true games quality but nice all the same to look over...

Noticed as well that indeed different gloves are shown. Also no sign of the overdone effect in past FM's with the brake discs glowing. Well certainly not from this BMW that I noticed.

Visually a big step up over FM3 for sure.

Xbox Play Day Event
With no press event but just a "Play Day" they have the triplescreen cockpit running with what seems E3 demo. We will likely see more on the proper showfloor when it opens to the public later in the week.

I am just really hoping for hand over hand steering animations. Why dont more games put this in? I hate moving the wheel 360 degrees and seeing hands move 180. Or give the option to turn off the wheel in game.
 
Hockenheim sure looks sweet. But... Guys, did you hear the F10 M5? My god, that think roars like it wants to bite your head off :drool:
Now, if T10 give the same treatment to the good ol' Nordschleife, I'll be a happy camper :dopey:
 
NICE! Hockenheim!! I knew it'd be a German track being Gamescon is this week.
 
Interesting comment from IGN about the new track...

Indeed, including Hockenheim in the game was almost like a personal ambition for Greenawalt because it was a circuit he had loved watching Formula 1 cars race around as a kid. It's this love for motorsport that has meant that not only is Hockenheim in the game, but it's playable at any time of the day. While it may not sound that impressive, driving around the Nordkurve at sunrise is a very different experience from racing in the middle of the night. Choose the latter and visibility is obviously impacted dramatically, the dazzling glare of brake lights preventing you from having a clear view of the track when you're sandwiched in the middle of a pack of cars all vying for pole position. In stark contrast there's almost an air of calm when tackling the same race at dawn as the sun blinks over the horizon.

It's not directly from T10 but is this confirmation of night racing?
 
It certainly looks like it. Kind of hard to use the term "middle of the night" to describe any time of day where the sun may be visible.

Unless they have a race track in Alaska. ;)

I'm not going to do it to myself. I'm just going to say he's making an extreme example of how the track can seem so different depending on time of day in real life and we'll get some of that in the game.
 
I am with T.O. on this. I think it comes down to the way it's been worded.
 
Well, if their image based lighting system is supposedly able to render the track in different lighting situations anyways, it's not unlikely that they're implenting night-time races as well. I mean, it would be the natural thing to do. Jusst add the headlights and let the image-based lighting do the rest.

Doubt it. It looks like he's talking about RL, not the game.

Read the line before the one I bolded, I quote 'playable at any time of day.'
 
I really, really hope photomode shots can be exported...because if it's still hosted through the website I'm just going to be turned off of it again. There's no reason FM4 shots can't look like that; there was no reason FM3 shots couldn't look the way they did in the dev shots.

Holy cow! That nearly confirms night racing. Lets hope that it wasnt just a mistake. :/
