It's been said numerous times by Kazunori himself in tweets, numerous interviews and on the official GT website, that there are no cockpits for standard cars what so ever.

Damn, seems your right..did a little digging myself seems I was very wrong there, it's officially confirmed no cockpits for standard cars. I must admit last time I read up about it was around E3 and around that time people were saying they would have cockpit view for standard cars, but not long after that Polyphony came out and confirmed no cockpit view.....I can understand, quite unrealistic to expect dashes on all 1,000+ cars but considering Polyphony's anal attention to detail, does feel half arsed still :/ bumper cam it is then! (well for the standard cars at least).

Cheer up, they did their best and it's not half arsed at all, it just wasn't possible in the given time frame to do 1000+ highly detailed cars inside and out. :D

That's what I figured. Going to order with Pixmania as it's ?77 on there.

Salivating at the idea of a nice wheel and the signature edition cool.gif

Wish I had the cash to have bought the G25 when play were selling it off for like ?70~80 I think it was.

Now this is cool

The rally Special Event is just one example of Polyphony's dynamic design approach to GT5. The game's weather system is also auto-generated (on endurance-based and custom tracks only) based on a trio of interacting factors: humidity, temperature and pressure. The combination of those three elements can result in fog, rain, snow or a clear day. Yamauchi said the team cannot even impose specific weather conditions on a particular race but merely suggest them by creating cloudy weather, for example. From there, the system takes over to create weather on the fly. It's an impressive feat that I'll probably love until I have to drive in the rain.

Dynamic procedural weather.

That looks amazing. I usually don't use the cockpit view in driving games (I like having the extra field of vision that the bumper camera provides), but it might be too much to pass up for GT5. The cockpit view with the Logitech wheel will be a sweet combo indeed.

Shame that the cockpit view is only in the premium cars, but I suppose it's understandable considering how much work probably goes into modelling it for a single car.

My pre-order is also paid in full and set for SAME DAY AS RELEASE delivery via Amazon. I can't wait to line this up next to my other GT games, it's been a long time coming. I am so excited about online it's crazy, but I always start out with campaign first. Not sure why.

Expect me to build up thousands and thousands of miles on the 2009 Corvette ZR1 w00t.gif

Damn it, can't wait to play this on my big screen. Looks great!

Anyone ever try the Microsoft Force Feedback Sidewinder Wheel on the ps3 to see if it works? I would love to use that instead of the ps3 wheel I have that doesn't have FFB. I don't recall ever installing drivers on my PC to get it to work, but then again, its a MS wheel and I am using WinXP, so it could have already been on there..... internet search gives mixed results.

Still looking at that Signature edition but there's so much junk too, what in-game items does the signature edition provide over the, say, LE / CE ?

The Stealth cars I believe, CE has different DLC cars.

Everything else is physical extras, Car/Book/Wallet/Keyring/USB Sick and Competition.

So all the physical discs will have exactly the same content (cart,tracks etc) and the more expensive editions will provide codes for the user to download the extra cars via PSN and not contain something extra in the blu ray itself.

Correct?

Yes I believe that is correct.

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).
    • DVD only? What kind of self-respecting optical disk backup/ripping tool doesn't support Blu-ray these days? I burned all my DVDs like 15+ years ago...

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
