is it just me or has anyone else noticed that they have sorted some of the crappy shadow issues with the 1.06 update, I noticed this in the in-car views on Premiums and on some tracks.
Self shadowing on cars in replays is still very bad, but the shadows on the ground from the cars have improved I think, but sometimes they can still look really bad.
I think it came at the cost of some antialiasing reduction though.. especially on tracks like Madrid. The jaggies are very bad in the distance looking at the road and buildings and whatnot. I notice this probably only because I sit fairly close to a 52" HDTV running 1080p. I knows the jaggies were btter controlled before the update. If I had a smaller TV I probably wouldn't notice.
nice, a guy offered me a 60' new Samsung LED for $3500 on Thursday, worth over 5k, wish I was rich, lol... Hey BWX, I added you on PSN, i'm in Queens NYC, I see your in NY...
3500 bucks? In 2007 when I got my 52" Aquos on-line it was $3200, and that was about $500 to $1000 cheaper than Best-Buy. Haven't checked lately but last time I did I figured I could replace it for $1800 or so if it ever dies. I wouldn't be able to do that easily these days, economy isn't like 2007 anymore, LOL.
I don't race online much (yet) but I'll add you. I'm sure I will race online more soon.. I'm in upsate, (about an 1.5 hours south of Rochester)- I have Roaod Runner though and have low latency to NYC.
just watching my remote race in Indy, ya it seems that the shadows are still lurking about, as long as they recognize it as an issue they plan to deal with I not too worried...
@BWX - put your B-spec driver online and I'll make you lots of cash, I'm just about done in GT5, Level 34A and Level 40B so the Remote Racing is my New Hobby...lol, have made over 300k just this morning for myself and my buddies... Anyone wanna add me, my PSN is richiem2282, just mention GTPlanet...
I'd stop short of saying resolved, but the shadows have definitely been improved.
In my opinion (and only that) the 1.06 update has brought GT5 up to the kind of standard I was hoping for on release.
That isn't a criticism of the release standard - I'm glad I've had the game three months already and am equally glad that PD are sticking to their promises.

I use my PS3 for web browsing and watching bluerays, (and GT5) but when I'm not doing that, sure that sounds like fun. I guess I'm way offtopic. oops!.
^Yeah overall I think GT5 looks better post 1.06, those extra jaggies I see are only on certain tracks and I bet most people won't notice or care even if they do.
lol
