GT5 Latest News & Discussion

[Terronium-12]

Is this new physics model less realistic and more arcade than that of GT5P?

No. I can't really describe it as I've yet to run the Time Trial demo with anything other than a DS3...but download it and evaluate it on your terms.

 

[Raitziger]

I can say that with wheel overall feeling of driving is better but oversteer physics are much more snappy. It might be that n3 tires do not have right grip model or something.
Check out my videos on youtube go get some idea how 370z handles.

What could this be? Cars have changed trough out the game dev process? Rally stickers change troughout the tracks? Can this stickers be part of a "Livery Editor"? Is this an old finding thats utterly irrelevant?

I'm not sure if it hints at a livery editor or not, and I think their idea was to just 'plaster' the logo on the cars in a random spot. But it's a very interesting observation

I like the dirt and scuffs on the Scooby...

... not noticed that before, as i had only looked at the bonnet damage etc.

 

[Zimmerd]

Nice observation of the stickers..
we will see!

 

[MatskiMonk]

Having to pay for damages is a must in my opinion, one of the aspects that is unrealistic about GT is that it costs nothing to go racing, once the car is bought.

 

[Heath_1]

Paying for damages would be good but I'd hate to have to pay to go racing.

 

[patriotzero]

They are old but i didnt see 2 of them on down

 

[Jay]

They have all been posted here a few times. (top car is the Audi TT)

 

[Heath_1]

Looks like that old gull wing Merc. The 300SL or whatever its called.

Edit: I've just seen where it says 300SL my bad.

I don't know if this is new, but with speedemon08 we discovered that the stickers on rally cars change depending on the track they are racing at. We've seen Rally Toscana, Rally Japan, but there's also a "Rally Tokyo R246" logo on the Focus, Impreza, and C4 WRC cars. It's interesting to note that the Impreza comes with "Rally Japan" graphics (on E3 Trailer) but has the "Rally Tokyo R246" in a batch of released screenshots. Have a look:

Pics to support my argument:

Impreza with "Rally Japan" sticker from E3 Trailer.

Focus WRC racing in Tokyo R246, notice the sticker on the hood.

Citroen C4 WRC head to head with the Impreza WRC. Notice a sticker very alike to the one of the Focus on the hood of both cars. The one in the C4 easily reads "Tokyo R246" with the track logo, the one in the Impreza reads "Rally" above of what should be the "Tokyo R246" bit. Also, notice that in the three cars the sticker is in a different place on the hood (Upper right in the Focus, Left in the C4, centerd in the Impreza).

Here's the track logo for you to compare.

What could this be? Cars have changed trough out the game dev process? Rally stickers change troughout the tracks? Can this stickers be part of a "Livery Editor"? Is this an old finding thats utterly irrelevant?

Excellent analysis, this probably means there is a Japan rally track... and more to spot on other WRC cars..

Well done.

Livery Editor wooooo cannot wait.

I would rather think the sticker as an official's sticker after prerace inspection.
I would think that the game adds this sticker when entering the race.

I'm not sure about the WRC, but NASCAR has a sticker every car gets after inspection.
For NASCAR it doesn't show the event, only that it has been inspected and passed the inspection.
In this case it's for the WRC Tokyo event.

This does open the possibility of a Japan/Tokyo WRC event, as in the earlier photo of the WRX on a dirt track.
Possibly a stage for such an event.
The R246 being another stage.

The difference in stickers is probably just a design change that PD changed, or changed just for Tokyo.
Here is a sample of a real WRC car.
Similar to the early post.

It still doesnt confirm any kind of livery editor. I think it's just attention to detail, like the poster above said, it could be just the inspection thing or something similar.

Exactly.

 

[Heath_1]

If they were showing off Livery Editor it wouldn't be a sticker like that on a WRC car. I'm sure it'd be some random car with a full custom made livery. I think it's just depending on what country/Rally track you're on it depends on what it is. In that instance its Tokyo R246. It probably has a different one if you enter a rally in Italy, or Grand Canyon.. etc.

Forgot yeah sorry it is definitely Luca.

 

[patriotzero]

[Custer85]

His name is Esteban Tuero....

If all those people preorder the game and some more, GT5 might be the best PS3 game launch since Uncharted 2.

Livery editor is a must for GT5 would be extremely poor if its not in.

[happycorey]
