Been having a blast on arcade mode this afternoon. Going to wait until my new HDD arrives tomorrow (stupid courier mis-routed it :angry:) before getting into GT mode. The photos the game can produce are simply amazing. Could spend hours in photo mode alone.

And this is what happened when I first let my sister have a go... :whistle:

(To be fair she actually saved the spin rather well before the Lancia ran into the back of her.)

The second photo has a bit of weirdness going on where the smoke is. Apart from this single glitch the graphics both in the race and in the photo mode have been superb.

Wrong thread, this is for GT5 picture outputs.

And secondly GT5 doesn't even run in that resolution and look at the HUD (especially Position/Tour and numbers below), JPEG compression much or ****ty capture setup.

Fair enough, just saw some from before and posted here, will post in the other. I admit there is some compression but the base is still there. Without the compression it still looks pretty bad for a game that has been in development for so long and even you can't deny that.

Considering it's being played by my GF right now I can see a huge difference in HUD :p

The screenshot looks horrible, but if it's your basis for an opinion on the whole of GT5 you're not being very fair.

Forget the HUD dude, that is not why people are buying this game. Even if you remove the compression, the game will still look like that as a baseline. It isn't magically going to look 100 times better. The trees and stuff are still going to look like crummy cardboard cutouts and that everything looks flat! It is one of the tracks that they didn't bother updating for GT5. It looks the same as the GT4 version on the PS2 according to some people.

Well duh, I'd like to think people were buying this because they're interested in driving simulators! :p

Just pointing out the poor capturing behind that image and the HUD was the easiest thing to highlight to let you see compression.

Yup, I can confirm this is what I see in game as well. Everyone should be actually, it's the consensus at Neogaf and GTPlanet.net.

The screens I have seen with the standard models while racing in 3rd person mode look like GT4 with better lighting... Im sorry but I think Forza 3 is far superior to this game, I will rent GT 5 to give it a chance but I am disappointed by what I have seen.

It was already explained years ago that 800 cars would be ported over from GT4.

-T10 has over 300 employees while PD has 140 30 of which are car modelers and 2 are track designers.

-T10 outsources most of their work while PD does everything in house.

- it took 6 months to completely finish a premium car for GT5

Now for you to say Forza 3 is the better game in a dedicated Gran Turismo thread without even playing the game first hand is an insult.

Forza is NOT A SIM and has a 2 year dev cycle just like the Call Of Duty franchise.

Neither of these games are sims, sorry just that simple. I have said elsewhere I will give the game a chance, and there is no reason it took 6 MONTHS to model one premium car for this game. I am strictly going off of the screens and I am not trying to compare the actual game play experience. I am sure it is a fun game but all of the press this game has gotten mad the game looking amazing and ultra photo-realistic and I am just not seeing that here unless it is a photo-mode screen/replay shot with a premium car model. Sorry, not trying to start anything.

Yes there is a reason 1. get licensing agreement, 2. setup photo shoot, 3. travel from Tokyo to the location of the car's to take photos and back, 4.put car's on DYNO for sound recording, 5. model the car, 6. Car Physics, 7. sound department for engine sounds and editing, 8. final Quality check.

Now if they left out the standard cars most hardcore fanatics would complain cause their favorite cars were not in the game, but as i see it was just not enough time to do 1031 premium cars and they did not have enough people to do it nor did they want to outsource.

maybe they should have... there is just no excuse for cars to look that bad in a game that is suppose to the game that defines all racing games.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      Thanks for the info, but I'm still not sure if I need this....
    • We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager

      By Steven P. · Posted

      We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager, 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; I figured it could offer some neck pain relief. What's in the box: SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager Rechargeable Battery (inside massager) Type-C USB cable User Manual Quick Start guide 1-Year Warranty In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official listing, here are the key features: Biomimetic Kneading & High Torque Motor: Designed with innovative biomimetic kneading heads that perfectly simulate the touch of human hands. Powered by a high-torque motor, this massager delivers powerful and precise deep tissue relief to effectively target stiff neck muscles and release built-up tension Soothing Heat & Integrated Sound Relaxation: Experience the ultimate Relaxationation with our dual-action approach. The soothing heat function gently warms your neck, while the built-in sound Relaxation provides calming audio tracks, helping you achieve a state of mindfulness and mental tranquility during your physical massage Cordless Convenience & Travel-Ready & Father's Day Gifts: Crafted for maximum portability and ease of use. Its lightweight, cordless design allows you to enjoy a premium massage anywhere without the hassle of tangled wires-whether you're taking a quick break at your desk or winding down at home Versatile Relief for Home & Office: An essential wellness companion for office workers, gamers, frequent travelers, or anyone looking to integrate mindfulness into their daily routine. It seamlessly fits into your lifestyle, providing instant neck relief whenever and wherever you need it Safe & Premium Materials: Manufactured with high-quality, skin-friendly materials to ensure a safe and comfortable experience without irritation. SKG backs this device with dedicated customer service, making it a thoughtful tech-health gift for family and friends App & Bluetooth Music Control: Connect via Bluetooth to control your massage settings through the dedicated app and enjoy your favorite music during your massage session for a fully customizable and immersive relaxation experience Red Light Warmth Technology: Features advanced red light warmth technology that penetrates deep into neck muscles to enhance blood circulation and provide soothing comfort while relieving muscle tension and stiffness Design With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. SKG does not say what materials are used to make the neck massager. However, on the product website, it mentions "soft-touch silicone" with what looks like PU leather cushioning, with the rest being mostly made up of plastics. On the inside of the massager, there are two "biomimetic kneading heads" that are motorized for the different styles of massage, which are not actually listed at all in the paper user manual, but the standard included modes are: De-stress mode, Mediation mode, Relax mode, Shiatsu mode. The massager looks quite premium and is actually very comfortable to wear. This massager is small and light enough to go anywhere, as it doesn't get in the way of anything, so I was able to use it in the chair while writing this review. Unlike the back massager, SKG does not warn in the user guide not to use it for more than 30 minutes a day (or two 15-minute sessions). However, there is a long laundry list of important safeguards to consider before and during the use of the device, and it is warned that the neck massager is not waterproof. It also includes a 1,400mAh battery with a rated power of 14W and input of 5V, which is the standard for up to USB 3.0 power (although the Amperage is not mentioned at all). SKG does not say how long it takes to charge, but a quick calculation at 2A (if that is what it is) would mean it would take roughly 1.5 hrs to charge from empty. In any case, the light around the button changes from orange to green on a full charge. In addition, it is not possible to use the device while it is charging. On the right of the neck massager is the On/Off and modes button, which also acts as a joystick. You can operate all the modes directly from the power button, as well as the app, which I'll get into a bit later: Push up: Short press to adjust Heat levels On/Off button: long press Mode Switching: Short press (while in operation) ➕ Push left: increase Music volume ➖ push right: decrease Music volume Push down: Short-press to turn Music on or off The massager defaults to De-stress mode, and it is not stated anywhere if the neck massager has overheat protection. This time around, regarding heat, the only detail I could find is that it has "triple action soothing heat." The temperature stages are not listed anywhere in the paper manual, Amazon listing, or official website. The heat levels can be adjusted through the app or directly on the device using the joystick button. Usage There's also the SKG Health app, which makes using the massager far easier than feeling around for the button on the side of your neck. If the app is stopped, you are required to log in with a verification code over email, which I am not too pleased with, as this means it will only work that way for however long SKG decides to support it through said app. However, I was not able to get the app to connect to the OS500, which I have reported back to my contact. Bluetooth appeared to be working on the neck massager as it became available to pair with my phone, but the SKG app failed to discover it. Before I forget, there's also a switch next to the USB charging port to deactivate and activate the Voice Prompt, which, when enabled, audibly tells the user when switching intensities, modes, or connecting to the app and informs when the massages start and are completed. That said, on to my likes and dislikes, which are listed below. What I didn't like Unable to connect the Neck Massager to the app Use through the mobile app relies on continued support from SKG What I liked Can be used without the app Cordless use Light and comfortable to wear Heat is also quite comfortable Where to buy: According to the official website, this has an MSRP of $249.99, but is currently $50 (on Amazon). To sweeten the deal a bit more, there's also an in-page coupon that knocks a further $20 off the price. SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager for $179.99 on Amazon (was $199.99) Apply the in-page $20 off coupon for the final price of $179.99 Just like the back massager, this gets a confused thumbs up (due to the cost). However, I cannot rate it through app usage as it failed to connect. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

      This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
