Those cart races look damn fun. They made the right move by putting that in with GT5. I wouldn't want to play a stand-alone game of just that, but it will definitely be nice to shake things up when you get tired of doing regular races all the time (a common problem that I have with Forza 3, which is why I play that game on and off now).

I'm definitely getting a racing wheel for this one.

Reverse lights, signals, and flashing high beams are already confirmed for premium cars.

This game is shaping up to be better than anyone could've ever anticipated. I don't care if they charge $99 for it, its worth every penny lol.

Yeah, it's really shaping up to be something truly epic! I still can't justify paying the ~$AUD300 for the "Signature Edition" but by the looks of things, even my humble standard edition is going to be an exceptional experience (Y) :happy:

I know what you mean, I play Forza 3 off and on too and I'm in Year 6 now and the races are long and feel quite drawn out...still a great game in it's own right but can only play it in short bursts now because the races are too long and boring :p having the Go Karts in GT5 is a good idea, after having a long race (or just after a few short ones) being able to "jump in" a Go Kart and have a quick blast sound great to help keep things interesting :)

Yeah, I got a basic wheel I got with GT4 (Logitech Driving Force) and I'll just be using that with GT5, sure it's not as fancy as the new ones with clutches and gear shift and what not but it's enough for me and still adds to the experience :)

Fixed the tag. Use the "wyoutube" tag instead of the "media" tag. You only need the video code at the end as well (after "watch?v="). ;)

Neowin need to fix that, with the amount of videos I post I cba manually tagging everything because their "Insert Media" button is pretty gimped.

Not sure if this picture is on the last page, have to repost it because god damnit PD...

:woot: those latest pictures are epic! and then I went and saw all the other ones over on GT Planet :drool: :omg: everyone was starting to doubt Polyphony when this games was taking so long to arrive (I know because I was one of them) but looks like Polyphony are gonna deliver and then some! I might have to take off all of November for this game but I can't imagine doing anything else! :D

Doubting PD is like doubting you'll get fire ass after a very strong and spicy curry rofl.gif

In reality though it's just because they're Japanese devs, modest and rarely run around bigging everything up until its properly ready, and lacking in the competition mocking the west is full of. Want proof of that cultural gap, just look back in these forums to after E3 2009, the amount of ridiculous **** Americans and EU members of this forum were saying was laugh.gif Tbh even the media was full of it, glad PD just kept their mouths shut and worked away without getting caught up in telling gaming outlets to STFU.

Yeah your right :) well now I know I was wrong to doubt them!

Yeah, I remember how sure everyone was that Forza 3 would destroy GT5 and already crowning it the best racing game of all time. However, in it's defense Forza 3 is still an awesome game and Turn 10 did a fantastic job with it and I give them alot of kudos for continuing to bring out new cars etc for it but come November, it'll be time to move over and let the true king show everyone how's it done :)

As you say Forza 3 is a great game, but it doesn't come close to the sheer scale and polish that GT5 seems to be bringing. But as people mention, Turn 10 pump them out quicker than Polyphony do. I guess it comes down to how long you're willing to wait.

Given the time it's taken to arrive, I still think some of the things it is offering are beyond peoples original expectations. Lets hope that the Sony servers are up to the task of the online side because if they are I can see this being one game that will be played for a VERY long time.

At the very least, I hope the online system is the same as Forza 3, because GT5P's system is terrible.

When you consider the PD has 5 GT's under their belt for the PS, a GT mobile for the PSP and a couple GT prologues, a GTHD demo and a GT Academy demo, one would hope that GT5 is the polish. Especially after how long it took to make. Turn 10 just made their 3rd title, which is leaps and bounds beyond what Forza 1 was, and was well polished in it's own right. Imagine Forza after the team has churned out a few more titles!

Indeed. This game not only matched my hype for the game, but it exceeded it. I already have goosebumps thinking about unwrapping the game when it comes in the mail. I agree with the online. That is something they are not known for, nor have the experience. If the backbone can match/hold what they have displayed, it will be so choice w00t.gif

I have to say the Go-Karting in my opinion looks extremely boring and incredibly badly done! It appears the AI just follow the same line all around. I guess I won't be using that feature much. I can wait for the game because I'm not hugely hyped for it but it should be a nice game, just a shame they have taken forever to make it! Stop adding more and more features and just release it already.

I am curious as to how they have manage their online aspect of the game but we'll see I guess.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
