It's a combat-centric racer that has real-world cars (arcadey physics tho of course) basically is like Burnout with powerups.

VERY addictive multiplayer.

Blur demo/beta basically felt like Mario Kart mixed with Wipeout to me.

I wonder how much longer until Gran Turismo 5 becomes the 2nd longest developed game behind DNF. I see the GT5 thread bumped at gaf and I'm like "wait, that never came out?" Hasn't it been like FIVE YEARS or something now. Absolutely ridiculous how Kaz still has a job and isn't selling all his cars to buy food.

cool breeze · « **Reply #858 on:** May 21, 2010, 02:45:05 AM »

yeah, its funny how long it has been. They keep adding things like head tracking and 3D playing it off like they won't release until it is finished. They'll probably rig in Move support and delay it another year.

Also, three demo/betas have already been out. Gran Turismo HD, GT5 Prologue (cost $40 I think), and that GT5 time trial one. There will be another one for the final release. They do all this stuff yet they're not releasing the game.

am i the only one who see a pattern here? let's say the truth,i loved mario galaxy but mario galaxy was more than happy to repeat his own gimmicks (for example by having 2 bee galaxies,or by having more ball rolling levels) but it was ok because those gimmicks weren't repeated much and they were good gimmick (well except the manta race,that was horrible) so why are we hammering the fact that "IT'S SO VARIED!" so much? is there any other reason beside "IT'S MARIO SO IT CAN'T SUFFER FROM SEQUELITIS NONONONONONONONONONONO!" i get even more suspicious when they tell me that one of the level is made up of old chunks,that's not a throwback,that's a recycled level in a game "SO FULL OF VARIETY!"

In Europe, they're preferred to be at room temperature, or maybe cellar temperature (13 to 15ºc), so GPUs are commonly stored in basements or pantries until they're ready to be used. In the USA people prefer their GPUs to be chilled, so even when they're not in use they are kept refrigerated (7ºc). In either case, it's not advisable to let your GPU go unconsumed for more than six months, as there is a noticeable drop in quality, so don't let it just sit on the shelf.
