A couple of pages back, someone mentioned the sense of speed in GT5, implying it is poor.

What is wrong with it? The sense of speed is spot on in GT. When you're watching an off-screen replay you don't see it, but when you're driving you naturally focus on the track ahead of you, and because everything is moving past at speed, (At the actual speed you are travelling) that naturally creates the illusion that blurs objects outside your field of view.

I hate it when game developers implement an artificial sense of speed. Need for Speed is notorious for over-doing it. It's like that "Fast and Furious" sense of speed where everything gets blurred if you go over 125mph. Even if you take a still image/screenshot.

In a real car at speed you can switch your eye focus to a passing object (Tree, Lampost etc.). The sense of speed is created by your eyes narrowing your focus/field of view.

lol, way to put words in my mouth, i said i brought a 360 because of FM3, and yes i owned it, so what the difference between owning it and playing it for a long period of time.

it seem some of you hear, try to smart by arguing something that it less inters and forget about this being a GT5 thread.

if you want to talk about GT5 then please comment about the 2 vids i posted for GT5 shifting animation.

and if you don't like my posts, theres a ignore list in your GTplanet profile, use it.

Isn't that what you said some pages ago? I may have misunderstood you and I'm sorry if I did but from what I read that's exactly what you meant.

And ignore list? I just want to understand what you're saying, that's all. From what I read you said two things that contradict each other so I'm asking you to elaborate so I can make some sense out of it.

Totally agreed 👍

The sense of speed, as we know, depends on the track as well.
I saw some recent Ring game-play videos and I think that the sense of speed is quite good there.

Keep acting like that and no one will take you seriously, your just a little troll who like to argue with people and pointing the figure at others, this is my last comment to you, i hope you will grow up and respect opinions.

and Btw welcome to my ignore list.

Hey buddy!
I have no clue what you're talking about. I pointed out your lies. That's all.
This has nothing to do with opinions no matter how you spin. I didn't even say a thing about your opinions. Your credibility is ZERO and your post history is the reason.
 
Ok, it's time to end the petty insults here. 👎

Let's try to keep to the topic of GT5 Latest News & General Discussion without throwing around direct accusations of trolling and other personal attacks.

Infractions have been issued, and more will follow if members cannot behave civily to one another.

Disagree with one another by all means, but make your posts and rejoinders non-personal in nature.

A few years ago, I decided to watch carefully a section of highway while I went down it at 70mph, memorizing how it looked, how far ahead objects were to pass out of the field of view at three second intervals, stuff like that. Although it really seemed sedate, not fast at all.

I went home and fired up Prologue, did a time trial but marked my speed at 70mph, and it looked the same.

As Seismica and others have noted before, other games hype it and hurt the truer sense of speed in proper sims.

It's accurately portrayed how it should be, if you want a higher sense of speed you simply have to drive faster.:)

It's all to do with you're field of view, computer racing games are doomed to give an unrealistic perception of speed due to the 'tunnel vision' nature of playing on a Television screen. A panoramic super-wide screen, or a multi-screen setup could of course help with that.

I would agree with you, that games which incorporate an artificial sense of speed (such as blurring), ruin the sense of speed and make you appear to be travelling disproportionately fast. I felt NFS Shift overdid the sensation of speed, and it made driving fast cars a little awkward.

You deserve Post of the year for your lucidity and wise words... I totally agree with you. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

And for the life of me, i could never understood why some people would like to be fooled by such trickery as put out by Grid, Blur, & NFS SHift;
and worse yet when other fake visual effects and exaggeration, they hold them as their truths...

So deceiving, and yet some people are able to say that those games are better... How in the world, i just cant understand.

Fun?! I dont know, i dont see that as fun... Probably the same people who likes tuning cars à la Fast and Furious, the crowd that just want to stand out in a "tasteless" way... Sorry to all of you out there who would be in that group... I should stop here as i am stepping into the subjective realm. On your defense, and from your perspective, i agree that i might sound boring and lifeless with my unexciting taste. So be it, but i dont hold fake as my truth...

Anyways, coming back to the sense of speed, i wish more people realize it about GT5, and less people are fooled by the "in-your-face" tricks from other games by saying how good they are...


EDIT: i might also add that:
this is another reason why i like GT games so much, that kind of philosophy on things, take it naturally, as pure as it comes... no added chemical, no preservatives...
something that very few games intendedly try to pursuit, but instead choose the "easier" way out...

I know what I'm about to say probably won't be believed, but I'm going to say it anyway.

I was on vacation in Spain last week, and believe it or not I think I saw a GT5 TV commercial. It was a black Audi R8 turning a corner in a city track, coming up to the camera and stopping. Then it showed the GT5 logo with a PS3 in the background. I can't find it on youtube, and it was about four seconds long and I think in Spanish so I don't remember it in great detail.

Am I crazy or has anyone else seen this?
 
CAMAROBOY69;3927871 And thats coming from the person with an "Anti-Forza 3" avatar. You are clearly a F3 hater. Talk about hypocrite. At least the rest of us are open minded gamers. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE
I played Forza1,2,3, and you??

Haven't seen it, but if you weren't asleep ( or on substances ) whilst seeing it I believe you although it is a bit strange as you'd expect a streamlined European campaign.
 
I don't think I was on substances, but you know about the food over there... :sly:

I was with a friend that definitely saw it also, but it seems really weird for it not to be on youtube or being talked about here.

No, but if you repeat it in every god damn post you write, you are.
We know that Forza 3 has the steering buffer aid, or however you want to call it and we all know your opinion about it, now move on please.

There in lies the problem. This site is full of people who won't "move on".

Look at the threads in the section, and the people that post in them.

Same garbage.

This place needs to change it's culture.:indiff:
 
GT5 is AWESOME! I've just played and early copy of it and it's the greatest game ever...No, not really. just trying to get this thread back on track. :P

Well, if you shared the same food it might rule out the other witness ;), seriously it seems strange it went unnoticed, maybe some Spanish members did see it.
Are you sure it wasn't a commercial for that "other" game as I do remember the R8 was their cover car.:sly:
 
Theres a lot of Forza vs GT talk in here of late... Ive played both and enjoy both, but its the little things the GT series offers that for me make it overall winner... For example even though its hardly mentioned GTpsp.. I feel this game gives a good example of what the series is all about, not only do you get beautifully modelled cars 800 infact (which would be huge by big console standard) but the animations on each car... the Enzo and McClaren SLR spoilers coming up at the right speed and my favourite the Veyron, Spoiler down, reach a certain speed spoiler up, go faster spoiler goes into sleek position and hit the breaks and it flips up like an air break... Now from what I remember of Forza its failed to have those kind of animations... like I said youve gotta enjoy the little things!
