Game is out.about 19 gigs download

Built on 3.30 sdk,lol
Not playable at the moment though...some 3.50 spoof required

I wanted to get excited about this so I popped in my copy of GT4 in the PS3 and set it to 1080i mode to get hyphy... Unfortunately it was just so boring. I know I'm going to wind up buying this game but I'm gonna feel like a chump after it just sits and collects dust.

Rrrrghh...I might get it if there are any nice offers involving gift cards or preorder bonuses or some shiz, can someone help a brother out

[Bebpo]

Amazon has a $10 gift card but that's pretty boring.

There should be some good sales during xmas.  It's probably arriving too late for BF sales this week.

Resist, Sho Nuff. Just play that "has the whole enchilada" version of Forza that just came out.

[Third]

How much is this going to sell? 500k? 1 million?

Yeah, in one day.

I'd say ~10mln units sold in its lifetime.

[Third]

The franchise has sold over 55mln units so far. It's still one of the biggest franchises around. 

[pilonv1]

Another thing I read on QT3, Eye Camera head tracking only works in races where you don't have a pit stop.

[Sho Nuff]

I have to say I've been looking at some of the screenshots on gaf and they are pants shittingly nice looking.

[TripleA]

So it's going to top the NPD then? Do people still care about this franchise?

1) No, COD came out this month.

2) The demo for GT5 sold more copies than all Forza games combined. So there's that.

Playing them.

Now that GT5 is out Sony should fire Kaz and put a normal guy who will make a game every 2 years in to do GT6+

hmm

[Bebpo]

The game is going to get ripped to shreds for sure.  It's simply too big with too many features and too much bullshit pr over the years of development.

It may do 30 things right, but there will be 20 things it does wrong.
Should still be enough enjoyment for $40-50, but it will definitely have annoyances.


I'm guessing it scores around 8.5-9 at most of the sites.

[maxy]

Nice to see that Sony is still supporting PS1

[Sho Nuff]

Wait, er, what

What game is that

[maxy]

GT5

That shot doesn't accurately portray how GT5 actually looks. The person that took that shot clearly turned down the resolution, AA, world detail, and...OH WAIT

[Sho Nuff]

But surely it doesn't look that bad

[Bebpo]

It actually doesn't.

If you've played GT5P you know how GT5 looks, it's not like it's going to be a big surprise to anyone.  GT never captures well because the engine is ridiculously jaggy.  In motion with 4x AA @ 720p or no AA 1080p it looks pretty clean.  Plus that picture in particular is just one of the troll pictures focusing on the 2d trees that are in GT.



The ground textures are pretty nice and the cars look good; the trees suck as does grass outside of the main track.  Geometry just depends on the track.  Some are empty, some are good like the cities.

[Sho Nuff]

The amount of bullshit I have to wade through to unlock the good cars is making me hold back on this one for now.

[pilonv1]

I just want to drive the Top Gear test track a few times and I'll be done.

[Cormacaroni]

Watching Sho Nuff gradually morph into Isamu has made this whole GT5 thing worthwhile.

I wonder if you can pull that off online 

[TripleA]

My score predictions:

IGN: 7/10, needed more Oscar-worthy writing.
GameTrailers: 6.9/10, buy xbox instead lolz.
Destructoid: 0/10, worse game evar 
Giantbomb: Sandwich. Twinkie. Beef Jerky. Sandwich.

It looks kinda like old unreal 3 problems...

Although some EU racing nerds say that not all standard cars are made with the same attention.

Bullshots look amazing. Reality does not.

True true.It was a long time ago,but someone posted some PGR3 pics somewhere(gaf probably),complaints erupted...
And then it turned out that those were real-life pics,apparently reality has weak textures and crappy lighting 

The more I look,watch game screenshots,videos the more faults i can see.Sometimes I feel sorry for artists and devs,they must be praying that nobody notices anything.

shit/bin, ban TripleA

[Bebpo]

This is the easiest game to troll in the world since 800 of the cars are PS2 models and taking pics of them makes it look like a ps2 game.

[Bebpo]

Well there's usually about 4 models of every car and 1 is premium.  There's even a premium Prius in there. 

More awesome gt5 replay shots:



Online is not available until Wed, so no one has any idea how it works and the day 1 reviews will have not gotten to try it.  Gonna kill the review scores.  Sony 

[Raban]

This whole game is a fucking joke. Before we saw actual in-game screenshots, the argument was that GT is boring as fuck, and the fans came back with "At least it looks pretty!". Now we have actual in-game screenshots and the game looks like flaming asshole, and the damage control has reached new heights of idiocy.

None of this would really matter if they didn't spend five whole years developing the game to make it, in the words of the developers, "perfect". That's one skewed idea of perfection.

[Bebpo]

It's like no one played GT5P...


The game looks good, just nowhere near photomode shots.  It'll be about the same visually quality as Forza 3 during gameplay with F3 having better track graphics and GT5 having better car graphics.

[archie4208]

Photomode

Replays

Gameplay

That's how you market a game

I remember people at GAF proclaiming they bought a PS3 for the Blu-Ray player.  Sony is just catering to their audience who hates interactivity.

I think you're on to something there.

I'm so confused

Yeah,but that is not our fault.If that Archie picture is not some bug,glitch,whatever,then Sony has the full right to deploy tactical nuke on PD headquarters.
I read somewhere that some models are imported from PSP,if true that could explain it

[Raban]

Jesus fuck

[maxy]

If they can import PS2 models,they can do that with PSP too,some people claim that PSP is like PS2 portable,so why not,developers always make a "little" higher quality models anyway...it makes sense from a business standpoint i guess

I don't doubt that this will be a good game for racing fans,but some decisions really make me lol

[maxy]

Gamespot has GT5  and this is 1 hour GT5 video

It will create lots of angry posts around the net probably,conspiracy theories ahoy

PD should've scrapped the 800+ standard cars. 200 premium cars should've been enough.
But options are always nice.

The standard cars look below average in photomode but fine in actual gameplay.

I know. Already played the game. The graphics are amazing. Forza 3 looks like a NES game in comparison.
But 200 premium cars should've been enough. The standard cars really stand out.

Of course 200 cars are enough, but you must understand that some people are fickle. They will bitch about anything and everything if given the chance.
