No way in hell there going to ditch cockpit view for standard cars for snow and rain on all tracks.... think about it.

Two totally different things, one is a effects system (snow and rain) and the other is modelling on mass scale. modellers do modelling. Programmers, artists and designers do effects.

Well yeah, you have to compensate some things on consoles.
 
The Sony Rep actually says "snow scenery and rain scenery". He may just be referring to the road condition, not actual snow and rainfall. Wet and snow surfaces are not new in GT as they were in GT4.
I'm not expecting rain on most circuits. Rallying perhaps. But recreating rain and snowfall in real-time is a big drain on the CPU. Codemasters new F1 game (which look excellent) has real-time rain, but only runs at 30fps. Remember, GT5 has to be 60fps at all times.
Still, I'd love to have a race on the Nordschliefe in the rain. Don't think it's possible though..
 
Why would they include wind physics, if rain, snow & possibly fog isn't in ?.So you see how grass moves in gail force winds nah.

read the post above you m8.

The PS3 isn´t something God created and then gave to Sony for them to mass-produce. PS3 has it´s limits too. And as far as i know, GT5 is dancing on that edge right now without dynamic weather etc..

The aero model is probably there thanks to Adrian Newey and will simulate wind like we have seen.

Let´s say you take an Enzo and blast up to 300km/h, then crash it gently so you change the aerodynamics of the car, and then try to reach 300 again.

My english sucks big time but i hope you get my idea.
 
I know i realised that, so that's why i edited my post.Before you posted.I was replying to Slackbladder anyways.No probs.

Yes, correct as everybody knows it was retrieved from that 1947 Roswell incident but only recently made available to the masses.
Still impressive though after all these years.

Yeah to an extent, still very over hyped.
 
What the PS3 is over hyped, really ?.Who hyped the PS3 up then ?.
 
The fans I suppose.
Same as GT5 or anyother product with a fanbase.
They big up the product and expect miracles.

May as well not waste my post: A guy on the US boards says there is a GT5 demo in the US this weekend. Anyone else heard anything? http://boardsus.playstation.com/t5/Gran-Turismo-Series/bd-p/granturismo

Can you tell me where to find a $300 computer to play those racing games?
 
If anyone can push the PS3 it's PD. Being a part of Sony I think it would be safe to assume they have access to all the technology and engineers to get GT5 performing to peak level.

However it does strike me that people are expecting too much...I mean the PS3 doesn't have limitless power. Here's a small list of things people are expecting to see in a single race:
- 16 'Premium' cars
- dynamic procedural damage
- transitional global lighting for a day/night cycle
- headlight effects
- dynamic weather
- wind effects

That other simulator does none of those...for a reason.

At most I expect 16 cars, dynamic damage and, on circuits only i.e. not city tracks, day/night cycles.
 
I wouldn´t say it´s over hyped. It performs really good for what it is but then we have a small selection of people who thinks that the PS3 can do everything. It´s also this small selection of people who think everything will be in GT5 too.
 
What racing games.

Edit oh sorry your on about the ps3 being hyped.

BTW The upcoming F1 game will feature some of those things listed, weather etc.
 
TBH i don't mind if dynamic weather isn't on the fictional tracks.If weather is working in them races great.If it helps GT5 run better, with weather on real tracks/roads.Then there is probably nothing we can do about it.

What you mean Rfactor, GT legends, GTR, LFS? If so What Computer specs do you have now? I can run all theese games good on a 300$ laptop. I can max theese games out on a 600$ desktop:) With real flag rules and mods which are easy to make and install you will become biased to any other racing game lol, However i'm not on here to preach about pc sim racing. It's like that guy said a few pages back GT has a certain style that attracts people...GT has great chemistry with the player that no other game can touch. But certain things still pisses us off : )

GUYS, can someone confirm that GamesCon is an event that Sony will definately have a GT5 blowout...or will it be another lame duck for GT5?

I can't remember reading, seeing or hearing that Sony will be delivering lots of new details about GT5 in Germany. It would make sense to do this in Europe, mind. But then I'm thinking TGS is closer to GT5's release date.

I think they mentioned showing much more than they did during E3 at E3 ( in an interview ), not sure what that really means though.
TGS might just be the icing on their PR-cake, I also think GamesCom will include more European content as opposed to E3 where they mostly showed NASCAR and muscle cars, could be TGS therefore focusses more on Japanese content ( LF-A? ) and the overall game as a complete package.
 
Im in need of some serious better news than what is currently out. Come on now show us some Go-karts racing and the rain effect and finally reveal the customisation.
 
Wonder if they're going to release a full car list of all the cars in GT5 before release. I know all of GT4's cars are in but im keen to see the 2010 models. My bad if they have. As long as Scoobie has a bigger list and my Zonda Coupe F is there i'll be happy.

Dell Inspiron 8500
Windows XP
Pentium 4 mobile
NVIDEA GeForce4 4200 Go with 64 ram
512MB Physical memory
2 GB virtual memory
More needed?

And can I hook this laptop up to my TV, because I'm not playing on a 15 inch screen, I don't know?

I hear about the Rfactor and a league I would like to check out.

I was wondering whether the image shown last week or so in that French playstation magazine of that go-kart was just a photo of a ( real life ) go-kart or an image/screenshot of GT5?
I´m guessing the former, but can anyone confirm this?

Sorry man, need at least a 256mb gfx card to run it pretty good. Hmm hell do you have a desktop whats the specs? if not you might be able to run LFS on low however it will probably be a slideshow. It's so cheap to build your own computer but you have to know how......How much did you give for your laptop? last year i got HP pavilion with 3 gigs ram 1100mb gfx card vista for 500$. edit which is to much considering you can build a desktop with them specs for about half the price.

I don't care for PC sims. Well, I do like them for what they are, good simulators. But I tire of them quickly and don't go back to them. Heck, I usually go back to GT4.
  • There are a handful of cars in strict racing classes, and in the case of GTR, not all that many. And I usually hate all the liveries.
  • rFactor cars are fake, so are Live For Speed's, save for one or two.
  • The graphics are poor, like PS2 level with better shaders in HD. DON'T LOOK AT THE TREES!!
  • They're clinical and dry, with very little passion.
  • Very few goodies like Photo Mode, and saved images simply show how bad the graphics are.
The A.I. is also nothing remarkable in any of the games I've tried. And I'm not too fond of the idea of going online against people who have been racing for years, perfecting tunes, racing lines, and honing wolfish skills. And frankly, the physics aren't that much better to Prologue, not to me. And certainly not the TT demo.

And don't start proclaiming how wimpy and old the PS3 is in comparison to a modest gaming PC. What's a graphic powerhouse game? There's Crysis for instance, which required quite a bit of work to get as good looking as it is, and you need a pretty beastly gaming rig to get it to run with a high framerate with all the effects and resolution up which will set you back several hundred dollars even leaving off a decent monitor.

Uncharted looks pretty darn close. Prologue looks better. And on a now $300 system.

PC gaming has its place and all, but I, for one, am not buying your viewpoint, and I'm not alone.
 
Can we focus on GT5 news again please?

I asked that one myself too, but it's not really visible on the scans
http://www.4news.it/images/stories/games/sony/GranTurismo5/20100730/pic004.jpg

I couldn't find the same pic of a go-cart with a simple google search so at least they didn't just take any pic. Plus it's been taken in a white room so it's either a promotion picture for a real go-cart or taken ingame. I really hope go-carting makes it into the game because I think that this would take GT5 to a whole new level of realism, noone starts his racing career with winning prize cars at License Tests :lol:

The main problem with PC's is that usually the "best" is outdated in less than a year it was built and for the majority of consumers, they have better things to spend their hard earned money on than building a supercomputer.

Especially in this economy at least here in America, we like to see our money go far and if the PS3 will last till 2014 as Sony says, then I'd say that's a pretty good investment; at least, it's a much better investment than a supercomputer I built for 2k-3k which will be outdated in as I said, less than a year.

As for me, taking game development classes at DePaul University and getting input from game designers in the real world, it amazes me what they can do with "inferior" technology from the PS3 and the 360. It just takes hard work and passion to create games on consoles.
 
Yes zod, it looks like that picture could come from GT5 ( with that background, etc. ) but it isn´t clear enough to make a judgement as it could also be a promotional photo or digital drawing from another source.
If it was a screen from GT5, we at least had confirmation they were in.:)
