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.

      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.
