Any chance that is from GT PSP?

No GTpsp used dithering on the windows iirc, not transparency.

Let's just hope it's someone playing a silly joke. Not long now to find out for ourselves!

Will be picking up my signature edition on the Wednesday lunch time, Tottenham are playing in Europe on Wednesday though so means a trip to the pub. Might just leave the game installing! Should be done by the time I get home. laugh.gif

This has to be a joke, or a bug or something. I flat out refuse to believe after all the screenshots they've shown us, that they'd allow graphics like this. They're worse than what you'd see on the PS2.

It's not people with a launch PS3 (with PS2 compatability) running an old version of Gran Turismo from the PS2 for a bit of fun?

Wow those textures are horrendous. The back lights look shocking :(

Oh well, stick to the premium cars then I guess!

Check out the door handles on the MX and the car above. They look like they slapped on some scratch and sniff stickers.

Yikes... that MX5 picture is a bit worrying :|

Thats the question, Photo realistic rendering is one thing but what about in game, real time rendering, how will that look? Obviously anything we are seeing now is the best of the best, what about the everyday?

For a moment then I thought maybe you were on to something, people running PS2 emulator at high res on PC's but it has the same GT watermark in the top right corner like the other photomode shots, can just make it out in the dark blue of the roofing.

Not too difficult to photoshop that into a picture though mate..

I agree and I hope you're right. Really if I see anything like that lined up on the track in a race I will be very disappointed.

For reference

206 in GT4

Although I think we are going off the purpose of this thread and maybe should move into the OT rather than the photomode thread.

This is what I've been on about, what did you guys expect? Photomode graphics in game? I don't think so. Never anything of the sort.

Everybody see's rendered screenshots of replays and photomodes and thinks omg, this is how the game will look. Then you start a race and it's like... ****.

who needs neogaf for things like this when you have AB?

One would imagine that they are being picked up from the GAF or GT Planet though. I don't know of anyone on Neowin that actually has a copy yet.

Surely someone photoshopped the jaggies into that photo.

I just learned that you can upload 50 cars from the PSP version.. so my guess is those jaggied - low res cars are from there.

Was my understanding that although you are importing them it wasn't physically importing the models, just the car name and that GT5 would have it's own representation of that vehicle.

Yup, it's just the metadata that is carried over to unlock it.

^ photo mode or not, it's still hard to beleive that these are being grabbed from a video game

+1 Especially close-up shots on the lights like that last one. If you were to cut the scenery out it would be impossible to tell it apart from a photo of the same thing.

      Likely nothing will be done in corporate America, there have been countless Tesla self-driving incidents. Then again, there have also been countless human operated incidents. It's literally daily news here in Canada, to the extent that it's now odd if we get a day where a collision doesn't get announced on the radio throughout the day...
    • SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on

      By Steven P. · Posted

      SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk, mousing around. Apologies for the knife cut across the top of the box; that was my doing, being a bit too heavy-handed with opening up the outer packaging. First up, what's in the box: SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 1x Type-C charging cable User Manual 1-Year Warranty (card) In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official Amazon listing, here are the key features: Full-Hand Air Compression: OS500 wraps your fingers, palm, and wrist with multi-chamber air compression for a complete hand relaxation experience. The extended massage chamber helps cover more of the hand and wrist area than standard palm-only hand massagers Palm Kneading with 6 Modes & 6 Intensities: Built-in palm kneading rollers add a hands-on massage feel, while 6 preset modes and 6 pressure levels let you choose the comfort level that fits your day—from gentle relaxation to a firmer full-hand massage 3 Heat Levels with Cooling Fan: Choose from 104°F, 113°F or 122°F warmth to suit different seasons and comfort preferences. The built-in cooling fan helps reduce stuffiness during heated sessions, keeping your hand feeling fresh and comfortable Easy Visual Display & Smart Timer: The digital image display clearly shows massage area, mode, intensity, heat level, and remaining time at a glance. Select 10, 15, or 20-minute sessions for quick office breaks, evening relaxation, or everyday hand care Rechargeable, Cordless & Comfortable: A 3000mAh battery supports over 90 minutes of full-function use on a full charge, with convenient USB-C charging. The soft inner lining, smooth ABS/PU finish, and premium black-gold design make OS500 ideal for home, office, or gifting With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. I gave it a try on both left and right hands, and as you can maybe see from the above YouTube Short, (sorry for the shaky video), my whole hand fits in, but my wrist barely enters the Hand Massager. I was able to push through a bit more with my fingertips extending out the other end to get a bit of massaging on the start of my wrist. Usage For some reason, there is a strap that is very difficult to fasten to my wrist with one hand. I am not sure what function it has, and it isn't mentioned in the user manual. The only thing I could find was in the product images that claimed "wrist precision". Unlike the Bob and Brad Hand Massager, this device does not massage the wrist anyway, even though a "wrist mode" is mentioned, which must be for smaller hands than I have, as it is mainly intended for the hand and fingers. In addition, for its steeper price, there are no disposable gloves provided in the box, which is a bit of an issue considering the internal cover (which appears to be elasticated nylon) cannot be removed for washing; so you are left with only one choice: always thoroughly wash your hands before using it. I can imagine this thing getting a bit grimy after a period of use, and that is a bit of a shame. With that said, the buttons on the device, from left to right, do the following: Heat button: 3-level heat control at 104°F, 113°F, or 122°F Mode button: Auto mode Circular mode Soothing mode Relax mode Palm and fingers mode Palm and wrist mode Intensity button: from (First-time users) 15Ka, 25Ka, 35Ka, 45Ka, 55Ka, 60Ka (Intensive relief) Knead button: on or off (6 pressure levels) Power button: Long-press to turn on or off Cooling button: turn on or off the cooling fan Also, in the product imagery, it states there are 36 "custom modes," but nowhere is it listed what these modes are. I can only imagine that they mean a combination of all of the above settings in different intensity levels. The device itself seems to rely on a single "kneading" mechanism located at the palm area of the hand, which spins when in use, and the other massage features are mainly utilized through the air sacs, increasing and decreasing at various levels on the hand and fingers. I am not sure it offered too much relief for someone who is typing and operating a mouse for hours at a time; further testing may be required. It does feel nice, though. Finally, you may be wondering how this fits into the scope of a tech website? Well, let me tell you something: sometimes I sit for up to 15 hours working on Neowin, and although I take breaks in between, it takes a toll on my body. I think in the immediate absence of a partner to apply relief, a good massager like this Hand Massager can shed the strains of the day in just a couple of 15-minute bursts. On the official website, this has an MSRP of $99.99, but luckily for our readers, it is selling at $10 off for just $89.99 right now on Amazon. SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 for $89.99 (with $10 off coupon), $99.99 MSRP For me, this gets a thumbs hands(?) down. However, it could be improved by making it so that the protective covering could be removed and thrown into the washing machine, or get yourself some disposable gloves to use with it.
