[Gran Turismo 5 @ Gamescom 2010 August 18-22] Request & Meet-up thread

[ItsHim]

Reposting bits of my impressions from last page so people don't miss it.

The "ABC" settings also set the level of the AI, IIRC there was no dedicated menu option elsewhere. Yet, I hope

Now, I was never a big friend of all this "physics" talk, and I know that I'm probably the only GTP member feeling that way.

What I can say is that pro physics were beyond the point where they worked for me. GT5 doesn't do actual g-forces, so why bother when a real car is twice the fun at half the speed?

However, if it comes to the game making "sense", lost for better words here, PD surely did a hell of a job. Because all those puzzle pieces fell into place and I could see the consistency behind what I did and how the car on the screen reacted.

It's the most comprehensive game to date, because PD just about does every aspect with up-most care and attention to detail. They may have had to make sacrifices and trade-offs, but by doing so if anything they made the game better.

I just hate those invisible walls at top gear track. They should have put a concrete barrier or tires to do the trick

Philistine!

Impreza Sedan WRX STi footage is done uploading and processing as we speak.
Uploading 330 P4 right now (you'll laugh at this one I think xD)

@Alba: a question about shift: in the demo you can insert a lowest gear respect the engin can support as seen in GT5P?
example: 5th gear at 200km/h in GT5P you can insert 1th gear...

another thing: Into the finals of GTA I've seen as the reduction of gears get more "engine breake", in this demo have you seen this feature?

Yes, that is correct. I forgot to mention that. It was quite hard overtaking the AI cars set on Pro which made me happy!

I agree, these new videos sound great 👍. The tire noise is fixed, the smoke is nice and thick, and we finally have skidmarks!

Oh Alba, just to shut up that many more people, did you stop and look at the trees?

 

[CoolColJ]

The videos posted by Alba suffer from the same phase cancellation problems I mentioned in the Kart and XJ13 sound clips, hence smearing the sound and robbing the bass and focus of the tone.
I'll fix em and you will hear the difference, although some of them are correct in places

Ok so what I'm going to do, is upload all my sound files alone and pass them on to you so you can fix all of them reu-pload them as sound file so we can check the difference. I'll pm you when that's done.

I did not, I should have

 

[ITSurabuS]

I think the STI sounds pretty good... It sounds higher pitch then I'm used to but it is revving far over what a stock STI would rev. Then engine sound is still pretty good and accurate. (I have an 09 STI and sounds are very similar).

 

[Organ-Donor]

Thanks for the time alba. 👍

 

[Madmurdock]

Thanks for the videos. Some great vids and the audio is definitely an improvement.

@Alba....have you seen question?

 

[alex291190]

Alba - Can i marry you?

Kidding, But Thank you for all these, they sound awesome.

 

[G.T.Ace]

The skidmarks seem to stay pretty long, good.

 

[hardvibes]

edit

 

[paskowitz]

New menu click noises! In other news the M5 sounds meh. Also the reflections on the steering wheel of the 330 P4 are

 

[CoolColJ]

G.T.Ace's videoshas the same audio problem as well
I'll fix em too!

If you only play one side of the audio, mute the other and centre it, you'll hear it the way it's supposed to sound

Real V10 E60 M5 for comparison:

The GT5 version lacks "meat".

 

[alba]

@Alba...have you seen question?

Yes, didn't try that but you can see a bit of it in the P4 video I believe where he goes from 4th to 2nd but I didn't really try that, sorry.

I think it might be because of my cable. This one is a bit weird and my Zonda R recording where I can't even hear the car at all... I'm trying to have CoolColJ look at it but I'll upload my video without sounds for that one, no choice.

Edit: Finished uploading Fiat 500 & Piazza Del Campo

[youtubehd]BqZKt0av0RM[/youtubehd]

This is my last video for today, I'm going to sleep since it's very late here and the only video left to upload is the Zonda R (only one where my sound file is corrupted or something since I can only hear the other cars).

 

[franz]

Why there was no wrong way sign when Alba took a shortcut in the M5 TG video?

 

[hardvibes]

Wasn't Piazza del Campo only for go-karts?

 

[RacingFreak2k3]

First of all, thanks a lot for the vids alba!! Truly appreciated, and the sounds are much improved in my opinion for the most part...that was the one thing I personally was most concerned about. The only thing I'm concerned about now is the sounds of the standard cars, as everything we've heard is from the premiums...I just hope they've all gotten the same treatment.

Also, did you end up getting a video of the Gallardo? I'm looking forward to hearing that one for comparison. Thanks again for all this.

 

[trk29]

Damn that vette sounds awesome!!!

 

[alba]

Wasn't Piazza del Campo only for go-karts?

Fixed, thanks!

Ok, I've sent all my audio recordings to CoolColJ so expect him to post his reworked ones in the sound thread!

Now I'm really off to bed, see you tomorrow everyone! Enjoy! 👍

 

[hardvibes]

Thanks a lot and goodnight!

 

[alucard0712]

I think sounds are really sucks...They just distorted that gives them more "live" but...However not so sure but sure.

 

[SrRd RacinG]

You've done well. Go to bed.

 

[yogaflame]

Thats fiat has an ugly cockpit, they should have not wasted to make this car as premium and they should have focus on better cars.

That was great

 

[scandisk]

Thanks a lot! Sleep tight bro!

 

[shirakawaa]

The Fiat 500 doesn't sound anything like the real thing.
Must be a placeholder sound...
Anyway, thanks Alba!
