So, I turned on the Spec 2.0 version of GT5, and immediately downloaded the new intro, I was gobsmacked. I know it's just eyecandy but man, I had shivers down my spine. I thought Forza had the best intro of a racing game ever but GT takes the biscuit here. And Forza's was incredible so I'm not sure what that makes Spec 2.0's.
Okay, flashy eyecandy aside, let's get into the game. I jump in my SLS stealth and head to cape ring, my favorite test track. As soon as I hit the track BAM it's loaded, in like 10 seconds flat at most. Once again, i'm astounded. Time to check the gameplay then. At first glance it seems the same, however, about half way through the lap, there is the corner I usually feel like i'm gliding through...its not there any more, instead my heavy piece of racing beauty is alive, I can feel the movement of it's body even through the DS3 and it feels firmly rooted to the ground. Once again, i'm loving this. So next, I come up to the Jump that CR is infamous for, i'm use to the car landing gently almost like a child going to bed...not any more. The car seems to slam the ground and I feel the force of landing, something which wasn't present before.
So, that's the moment Spec 2.0 had me in it's grasp, even after buying F1 2010 No more than a week ago I can see this eating up all my time. Well done PD
Oh and how did I follow this up? Going an hour into the 4 hour enduro at the Nurburgring driving the New GT-R.
