I was speaking to LayNLow about the physics, and he said their not really comparable, for 5 is so much better, and HD is only a slight better than 4... Also, I'm wondering if someone can give me a break down on this?

And a Screenshot comparison between GTHD and GT5P w/ same car/track (preferred) Would be amazing... I think it would give allot of people THE idea behind the so called "ridiculously amazing graphics in GT5:P

I may be asking for allot, but thats what forums are for, and many members aye?

I prefer the 599 physics in gthd over gt5p.

GTHD had much more inertia known from GT4 on N2 tyres and it's almost constant slide. GT5p is better simulating tyre grip and it skids only from moment when tyres can't grip enough. But then, inertia influence is much less than it would be.

GTHD uses a slightly modified version of the GT4 physics engine. I don't know exactly what they changed but that's all it is. The main change was in the graphics, in order to showcase the PS3s ability to run 1080p smoothly.
This was because GTHD as available on PSN is essentially a tech demo to entice us all.
GTHD was originally due to be the sucessor to GT4 but this changed before the PS3s release.

Using the Standard Physics setting on GT5P, the game does not feel too different to previous GT games.

Professional Physics in GT5P however offer a far more realistic experience, with a lot better sensation of movement and the forces that act on a car whilst driving.
They use a higher number of parameters in order to accurately simulate the way the cars handle.

The best way to understand the differences though is to get out there and drive both GTHD and GT5P!
Be sure to use Pro Physics on GT5P and you'll see the difference in the physics straight away!
 
The moment i got gtp i even deleted gt:HD:dunce:

For me this says enough, the physics were just like gt4, a bit updated and in a HD jacket. And gtp the prologue to the gt5 physics, clearly feelable and clearly better.

Now i still think this tread is interesting, graphics wise:tup:
 
As far as I can remember, the wheels in GTHD looked badass! not sure if it was just my eyes playing tricks or what.. but the wheels (as I can remember), were much better looking (specially when going thru slow corners), in GTHD than in GT5P! Anyone with me on this?
 
GT HD

GT5P (spec I, early version)

So the graphics look similar. the Lighting has been improved a lot in GT5P
The Physics engine is a lot better in GT5p.
I also love that more powerful cars in GT5P tend to over steer rather then in GT HD powerful cars only under steer.

For me winner GT5P
I can't wait for full GT5 game!
