official Gran Turismo 5

[AbandonedTrolley]

Yeah, I did use the code. I'll PM it to AB, but I doubt it'll work a second time.

Code Has Already Been Redeemed

:( Wheel out of stock on there now anyway

I'm not going to argue with you, just stating that PD are clearly not going to model something into a car that's not representative of it's actual interior.

No ones asking them to model something that isnt part of the car.

They did it with PSP GT why couldnt they just add the same view to GT5 instead of forcing people out of their preferred view.

I'm probably thinking of roof cam, sorry.

True, now you just need to lower your standards to 800 "extra" cars is better than nothing :p

Touch? me good friend :blush:

[Lingwo]

Mine was just despatched :)

The G25 is all ready to go. Hopefully it won't take an age to setup properly.

[Hedon]

Been reading more over at Neogaf from peeps that have the game. So far we are seeing average user reviews. I also just read that you can't even upgrade your brakes :(

[Vortex566]

The G25 would probably be overkill for me. :p I might end up only using the Driving Force GT on the PS3, as I tried it on the PC, and it was hit-and-miss. The Logitech software had a profile for GRID, so I tried that, but the controls weren't set, so I had to go and manually do it, then when I played it, it didn't feel that good. Almost no force feedback at all. Similar story with GTR Evolution as well, but the profile they had for it was messed up, as it assigned an invisible button to the clutch, so when I played, I couldn't accelerate. :p Once I fixed that though, it felt alright. The force feedback was pretty good, but I was terrible at it, as GT5P is a completely different monster. :p

Bizarre side note, the software also had a steering wheel profile for Deus Ex. :blink:

I'm still doing The Lucky Gamer as well, so if I come across a ?10 voucher, you can have it. ;)

BTW, if you've got a Google Mail/GMail email, there's a little trick you can do with it:

Insert a "." anywhere in between your username when entering the email address, and it'll count as a new email, so depending on how long your username is, you can end up getting loads of codes every day! You can also double the amount by using "@googlemail.com" instead of "@gmail.com"! :p

What is your set-up? Do you just have it attached to your desk or on your lap?

Got my dispatch note from Best Buy Entertainment this morning... yay :)

Amazonnnnnnnnnnnnnn :angry:

[Hellacool]

Weak, just watched a video comparing premium and "used" cars and there is no interior view for used cars?

I can understand not wanting to model 1000s of car dashboards but you get used to driving in one view then you get a car that doesnt have interior and you are forced out of the car, that would get irritating very quickly.

As the video stated even the PSP version has interior view though there is no dash you can only see the A pillars and the bonnet/hood but it still is more or less the same view as you would be getting in a premium car.

For a game that has been this long in development i would have expected the game to be a bit more polished.

That is a big deal for me anyway. I only drive from inside. This is disappointing.

By the way the hidden trophy for

taking a picture of someone special is rumoured to be the Translator Guy

Please be true!

[2xSilverKnight]

no word from future shop. The *******.

When I preordered God of War 3 they shipped it only the day it was released, and received it the next day.

They really sucks at preorders.

GTPlanet.net user HD photomode shot showing more jaggies on the new Honda:

More from Neogaf. Looks like they are complaining about the anti aliasing too:

[Fourjays Veteran]

I'm a little dubious as to how "real" those screenshots are. I've never seen aliasing so blocky as in the Mazda and Ferrari shots. Doesn't seem to just be jagged edges, but chunks cut out of the wheel arches in the process.

The Honda one is more what I'm used to see aliasing look like, even though there is a little applied.

[rajputwarrior]

weird, must be a bug, because i thought photomode automatically added AA to everything....

[AbandonedTrolley]

Look at the effects being applied to the scenery, maybe they have picked some pretty weird settings to almost make it look worse than it is?

Just to let you know Gamespot is Live Streaming GT5 now: http://uk.gamespot.com/shows/now-playing/?event=now_playing_gran_turismo_520101122&tag=topslot;thumb;1

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

They're most likely capturing in 1080i, someone on another board mentioned 1080p capturing at 60FPS requires really expensive equipment or something alone those lines.

Either way you have 1~2 days to see if that's what you see on your screen, and I seriously doubt it considering all the 720p video captures on youtube, many of which I've already posted on NW

edit: Or you could just watch the stream above!

[Hedon]

Stream above looks like garbage too. What were they thinking at gamespot. They don't know how to do live feeds.

[2xSilverKnight]

that's awesome ! :laugh:

[Hedon]

that's awesome ! :laugh:

I like this video response:

I don't see what's the big deal.

Chuck Norris drives like this all the time.

[Razorwing]

so I just saw Gamespot's Now Playing preview of GT5.. so far.. not really impressed. So much potential though. I'd thought with all the delays that would've ironed this stuff out. :unsure:
