wow all that hype and its still got jagged edge's

Well it isn't so much that, but more Polyphony wasted so much time making ~200 cars so insanely detailed that the other ~800 look like **** :/. Plus they know they look **** because all the demos had premiums (not even one standard to show people the difference) and all the promotional media features premiums. As much as I love GT and can't wait for my copy of GT5, I still feel Polyphony dropped the ball when it came to the whole premium/standard thing, it feels half arsed and more like a lame attempt at one-upmanship (i.e. we have 1k+ cars and you don't). That is my 2 cents, take with a grain of salt.

If the cars perform as they do in real life, then that should be what matters most for a simulator. When we're all playing on Wed I bet the majority of the worrying about standard cars is dropped ;)

Just seems like standard cars will be a mixed bag, some better than others, all looking better in motion through your TV rather than from direct feed.

I agree with you AB, but we have been hearing for years how this is the supposed to be the graphics king. Now that it has been proven not be that, many are conveniently forgetting how important that bullet point was.

Gameplay is my number one priority. Not graphics.

Edit: I just found out that my pride and joy, the 2009 ZR1 is a standard car. realmad.gifdevil.gifno.gif

Well if that's the case you can't suddenly just ignore 16 premium cars on a track in rain/snow/day/night.

The standard cars don't make the premium cars technical achievement any less impressive.

I agree again 100%. It seems they are best shown in photomode, but the replays are showing a lack of AA in the premiums as well.

Everyone is posting back about the graphics, but nobody is talking about the online features and community features, as well as the garage. I want the nuts and bolts, not the icing.

That's because the online servers aren't up till tomorrow.

but as you said.. GT is known for it's jaw dropping graphics... the gameplay is a given.. it's a Sim.

the hell is an axela? is that what europe calls the mazda 3?

I think Japan calls it the Axela. Funny thing is, GT was what introduced me to the crazy world of car naming (i.e. one car having different names in different countries) before that I was clueless :p. Another example of the Mazda MX-5; Japan it's known as the Roadster (often badged as a Eunos), NA it's more commonly known as the Miata and EU the MX-5 :s if your head isn't spinning yet, it soon will be :laugh:

well i guess the Standard cars are just a small part of the over all game, but i hope the rest of the cars, the Rally ones for example arnt shoddy efforts.

Small part? there are ~800 of them! I'd hardly call that a small part. Granted though, there is more too it then just pretty cars and the primary part of the game (and always has been) the driving experience, which from what we have heard will not disappoint.

but as you said.. GT is known for it's jaw dropping graphics... the gameplay is a given.. it's a Sim.

GT has never been about jaw dropping graphics though, it's been about the driving experience. The cars get most of the attention (and rightly so) because they are the stars ....and because Polyphony as perfectionists :p

I can't wait to rip the arse out of special stage route 7, this track is made for SPEED!

Some nice rain effects in this video

I'll leave the official photos/videos thread for actual video uploads from GT5 (youtube support for it should be working when online is turned on tomorrow).

It's been both driving experience and graphics :p. As I said, it's a given for Driving Sim = Driving Experience.. but yeah ... anyway I'm gonna pick it up anyway. :p.

Right I'm away to bed, I'm up early and away out tomorrow, but my postie better come! realmad.giffun.gif

That right there is why I'm willing to let my disappointment with the standard cars go! Just looks epic. I think SSR7 might end up being my favorite "go fast" track too :)

Still waiting for Amazon to ship.....

Same here. No shipping confirmation yet either, and I am supposed to have same day shipping. Considering they absolutely messed up getting me Call Of Duty on release day, I am not holding my breath I will actually get this one.

Amazon here too. Not shipped yet. I'm going to be seriously ****ed if I don't have GT5 to play all day on Turkey Day.

I really don't know what to say about this game.One day i am like "I want it now" and the other i see some pics like the above that really dissapoint me.

I think i am gonna wait as i did with many PS3 games for the price to drop significantly or buy it used because after that image, 70 Euro's is way too much for me to spend.

(Yes i know that this is not a Premium car but still...)

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
