Been playing GT5P today and I used, for the first time ever, the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG. Amazed at the detailed handling...the thing wants to bob about through all the fast corner. It's ace.

I still regard GT5P as having the best AAA sim console handling model. I can't get enough of using rear wheel drives, giving them stick and watching the replays...seeing the back end kick/jolt/twitch out.

Everything looks so bloody natural.

Exactly 👍 1 thing I love about GT5P is all the cars behave differently 👍 Like Coolcolj said the TT was even better :drool:. GT5 is going to be the truth man, I have been playing GT5P for over 2 years, and its like 10% of GT5 IMO. GT5 will keep many folks busy for multiple years 👍

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but yes, you can actually polish a turd into a very shiny ball of poop.

Thats one of the reasons I accept the long development time, all the stuff packed in will keep us busy for years, and the online portion should add another couple years to it all for one $60 pricetag. I would rather have this than small upgraded versions for another $60 a piece, kinda like the Madden franchise.

Edit:
Weird you posted those pics becuase last night I was eating this chocolate that looks identical to that (Lindt).

The thing you notice, especially with cars like the F40, is how easy it is to drive in FM3.

Whether that is more or less representative of real life, I don't know, I haven't driven an F40. But i'm going to bet it's not as easy to drive as it is in Forza.

Yeah I got to playing Prologue yesterday and I was driving some of the cars I haven't in a while and I hopped into the F40 man I forgot how much understeer that car has. But man was it beautiful. Very easy to kick the rear end out too.

Yeah, the abrupt transition from understeer to oversteer just made me love that car at the first try, everytime I'm playing GT5P with friends, I always use the F40 to show how much technique and precision the game demands, nothing compares to a mid-engined, loose suspension oldie monster to show how deep Gran Turismo is. :D

Also, some cars just deserve to be driven through hours straight, the classic Ferraris were the best additions to the car lineup since GT4, both look great in cockpit view and both are intriguing and challenging to drive. Just some months 'till november. ;)

I'am getting so pumped for GT5 man I know the new physics are going to be great! Every car is going to be so fun to drive, please hurry up November.
 
Anyone else get the email from Sony today about GT5? Nothing new, they were just pointing out some awards GT5 won at E3, and the pre-order for the collectors edition. Nice to know they are getting a nice head start on advertising.

Edit: Wow....yesterday.

Veyron is only speed, not handling. It's handling is attrocious. Don't expect to beat Arcade Mode and GT LIFE with that one car.

Maybe it depends on the driver?

Was in Radio Rentals today (In Adelaide) and they had the new E3 Trailer playing on some Sony TV's they had on display.

No, there have been several on both consoles and PC, the earliest I can remember is Test Drive Le Mans on the PS2.

Eutechnyx LeMans 24 Hours had it in 1998. on PSone and it is still one of the most importatnt driving games around in my book.

It is a revolutionary game in some aspects, shame nobody almost heard of it because those were different times alltogether.

I always confuse the PS1 game with Test Drive Le Mans.
That's what I meant in my other post, was fantastic back then, complete with fireworks. :D
 
Its been a while since Prologue, so do you guys think with all this talk about premium cars that they upgraded the Prologue cars with more small details. From what we have seen they maybe wouldent stack up to the current premium models?

...which is so true. It's pretty much lifeless. Watching that F40 video I didn't see any corrective steering and that's with all assists off!

The wait hurts.
 
I don't know how's that possible. :lol:

But I think the highlight on that video was the:

Person1:"What is it?"
Person2:"Pretty sure that's a Lambo dude."
Tanks for phosphor112 for pointing it out :lol:
 
Actually the Veyron isn't THAT bad compared to other cars when it comes to time racing. They did a lap at "Top Gear" with the car finishing in the top 5 that time - you cannot achieve that with top speed only.

But I rather have a great handling car with less hp when I am racing though. So the Bugatti isn't my kind of deal. :)

What about the SSC ultimate aero, yeah it has over 1000 hp, but it is considerably lighter than the veyron... and almost half the price.. it looks like a beast to drive with nothing to "help" the driver, but if you could get to grips with that I think that would be a perfect car for controlling. I know the veyron is an amazing car but the Aero beat the veyron around the track, personally I think for a car, yes the veyron is technically great, BUT for sacrificing the luxurious side of things ,personally if they could ... I would love to see the Veyron stripped down like the Aero (if possible that is)... and see what speed it could do then.

I hope both cars are in the game, heres hoping the aero makes it...

Anyhow I think for what the Aero is, it is more than capable of beating the Veyron, but for a Luxury car the Veyron is an amazing machine.. But there is no denying the difference between the two cars is plain. The Aero is a car designed to be pushed to the limits like any "classical" race car. The veyron is designed with luxury, but is capable of amazing speeds and can hold its own in the handling department..

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: WOW BEAUTIFUL MUSTANG!
I think i prefer this model over any of the new ones!

If i were to rank Mustang

1) 60's Mustang
2) 80's Mustang
3) the newest Mustang GT and ford's new V8! 👍

Forgot about that one, which is odd since it came bundled with my first wheel.:P
