Reading peoples threads about "my final thoughts", "what gt5 should have included", "omg ze zhadows" just makes me wonder if perception is that different, or we're playing different games. Sure the game has flaws, but why concentrate on them when the overall experience is as good as it is?
My guess is that they just like tabloid headlines and think they must have an "end of the world" feel to it.
Since i got the game in november, i constantly notice new things.
For example, the grass on eigerwand flows as cars pass, as being blown away by the draft caused by passing cars. Stuff like that just makes you smile as you see it, it's a tiny thing, but still!
The X1 (X2010) doesn't have windscreen wipers, so when it's going down lemans track in dusk, and rain hits, it creates a funky pattern on the window, it's as if you can see how the air flows around the car. As soon as it hits a corner, the water just flies straight off, as the air would take a different direction.
The FGT car when spinning out gets dirt on the tires, and it disappears after a little while on asphalt, just like it would in real life, i guess (not that i've driven any formula cars to try this out with)
The cars get filthy dirty, especially noticable on 9hr Tsukuba. Sides get greyed out, and you can clearly see the exhaust filth over the exhausts. Probably just a little texture being applied, but it's a little thing that adds up.
Experiencing Bob going from a loony not being to overtake 200bhp cars with his 450bhp, to a skilled driver taking alternate lines to overtake, winning the FGT, just a little thing, but it's the stuff you need to see to believe.
On the other hand, that same "skilled" bob will keep spinning out on the same place on the same track time after time again - he might be learning, but not from his own mistakes
So, this might not be gamechanging things, but these are some of the things i've noticed while playing (or watching bob), and for the most part, i'm like "huh, so they did this as well, that's cool".
Now, i just need to get a bob or to finished up to 40 then hit the signature competition in EU. Anyone have an XP-list on what XP required for the bobs to hit 40 (not a-spec/b-spec xp chart)?
