Wow those do look terrible. What the hell happened?

that's how the majority of the cars look like. I'm going to hold off on picking up my pre-order and read some reviews. as of right now, if the game play part of the reviews isn't damn near perfect, i'm cancelling/returning it.

Yeah...OK

This is just unacceptable. Looks like something that was designed using MS Paint and even though Photomode looks very good it is not representative of the "in-game" quality.

Don't know about others but personally i have fun when i am actually playing a game and not taking screenshots of it.

only import 50 cars from psp :angry:

so i'm watching the gamespot now playing thingie and the replay is in HD, and the game looks like ass... it looks like AA doesn't exist.

So what do the cars look like, better than the Celica above or worse? :p

Very sad it took them almost 6 years dev time to create a half assed game. Oh well, I will still give it a shot but I will be renting before dropping the $60.

Yeh im renting first aswell, after playing forza 3, GT5 needs to be able to compete with it. If it doesnt, looks like im going to buy an xbox for one game :(

while i have played forza3 on a friends xbox360, never played the series when i had a 360. i did like it :D ,

but no way in hell im i going to buy a new 360 just to play it. :wacko:

yes the standard cars in tg5 do look poo some times

compaired to the preimum ones.

there is more to GT5 than forza3 and PD have done some amazing work with it. yes we would have all prefered every single car

to have "preimum" graphics but would you rather have some standard cars than Non what so ever?

For those who are into this game way more then I am (meaning veterans of the series) and who also know their stuff about cars (I know gas and brake, and how to change oil), if you could list what the good all around starting car and / or cars that more or less a noob like me to the series should focus on using and purchasing for awhile, it would be greatly appreciated.

When you start your drivers career it will recommend you pick up a used car, just ignore that and go to dealerships. You can buy quite a few cars new, but the Honda Civic Type R 1997 is the best bet for starting. Costs basically all your starting credits.

I reached level 6 last night, I love the RPG element added in regards to levelling up your drivers. There's so much to do, I took a break at level 6 to do the karting, it's actually a lot of fun laugh.gif License tests are as hard as ever in regards to getting gold.

I'll post a few pics of my starting car in a bit, spent a load of credits tuning it and adding some parts to the body.

License tests are as hard as ever in regards to getting gold.

Personally, I'd disagree about the license tests getting harder. I think they're getting easier, as I've actually got gold on quite a few of them already. :p I'll post my current tally when I get back on later today. All I can remember is that I'm up to the I-A license now, so only two to go. :)

I'll try and post some pictures later as well. I took a quick one last night of my go-kart. :)

You now have a racing wheel, STFU :p

I really can't wait to get stuck into this but I'm not going to lie about how disappointed I am by the state of some of the non-premium cars. I sold my Xbox 360 and Forza Motorsport 3 which I thought was fantastic, primarily to merge my BD player and games console into one unit.. but also because I knew GT5 was starting to loom on the horizon. It's impossible not to be disappointed looking at how poor those standard models are.

I suspect there will be some very, very critical reviews of the game because of these.

My copy should hopefully be waiting at home for me when I get back tomorrow :)

I'm really worried about GT5 now, seems like it's gonna be a massive let down :( I also have no idea when my copy will arrive, been in limbo for 3 days now at the depo...but to be honest, after all this talk about the horrific standard cars and poor graphics (for the tracks) I'm not that excited for it anymore :/ it's turning into the biggest disappointment of the year.....I'll reserve final judgement for when my copy arrives one day though. That is my 2 cents, take with a grain of salt.

I'm pretty enraged about how the standard car models look, looks completely as if no effort was put into polishing them at all. Not having 800 standard interior view is perfectly fine with me but I don't think there is much excuse for leaving the exterior as is from GT4 imported into GT5.

I don't think it'll be the flop some people are fearing. Just been reading some of the reviews from the big web sites and they're saying the same kind of thing - a flawed masterpiece. Lots of things about it are wrong, but they're outweighed by how good the rest of it is.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
