This post is just a load of fan boy crap.
Well said, and that's why Dan and Che should be banned from GT Planet forever.
Unlike some posters here, I have only been "fooled" into thinking a couple of FW3 pics are real, though they are for the most part very good. But the variance in quality is really baffling, because not all the crappy pics are old. I suspect that FW3 will be like F2 and we'll be treated to a mixed bag, some things great, some things not so graet. The tire sounds are poo in F2, and they're using the same ones in F3 vids, so I'm praying they're placeholders for new samples. The ones in F1 were actually very good... WHY did they change them?!
Every car oversteers, I hope that's overwith in F3. Cars refused to lean around turns, even old street cars, as if they had stiff racing suspensions, I hope that's gone too. Bugs in the livery editor and Auction House,
please be dead!
I have a feeling that F3 is going to be the true F2 we should have had. Some things like the Auction House - or maybe it's the Store Front now look very appetizing. The sandbox style of F3's Career Mode, I'm still dubious about, but as long as I can get all the racing out of the way I want to, or most of it, it's all good. Personally, I think the 360 is about maxed out. I went ahead and ordered the Collector's Edition for the extra goodies... which I can't even remember now.
So along with a few others, I'll give you a full report when it ships.
FW3 is a third gen game in which you usually see a system hitting its stride, so I suspect T10's inability to even squeeze nine cars on track, which was my joke about F3, signals to me that a NextBox is a year or so away, and F4 will be on it. Maybe this time we'll be able to use our existing Logitechs on it. Meh on MS's proprietary crap.
As for the E3 video looking like GT5... it's possible. That trailer is essentially a string of replays. And probably an opening cinema with those jets flying over Daytona, then shifting to the pit area with the cars facing the wrong way as one sharp eyed member here noticed.
It's hard to say. As someone mentioned, the gap between Prologue's release and GT5's shipment is about as long as FW3's entire development cycle. Will we be getting a game which is essentially a GT5.5? Could be. Considering the magic Kaz and his team of wizards have been able to accomplish on the PS2 in GT4, I wouldn't be shocked if replays in GT5 looked about as good as the E3 trailer. I'm thinking a bit shy of that, personally, and I'd be as happy as can be if it looked as good as Prologue, because those replays for the most part look astonishingly like racing film. But better? Yeah, I think that's doable.
I will have to reiterate for those who can't stand waiting for every shred of GT5 news out there, I'm afraid that this is what we have to look forward to for the rest of Gran Turismo's lifetime, unless MS gaming dies. Turn 10 basically stole the the entire GT concept, lock stock and spoiler, so there will probably never again be big blowouts of info like we had with GT4 until a month or two before release.
Yes, there are differences between racing ingame and photomode, but, even so, this is a mess.
