TGS 2004
As for the prospects of the future, Mr. Yamauchi said, "I think the presentation of damage is extremely important for representation of reality. Completing this will require a great effort on our part. This is the theme of 'GT5.' I want it to be so that when you crash into a wall, the car will be deformed according to fundamental physics calculations. Please anticipate 'GT5.'"

I have a feeling the damage wasn't meant to be turned on....

That thought has crossed my mind too. Why turn on damage, but not the scratches as shown in other builds? But on the other hand, maybe PD needs the feedback as soon as possible to get a feeling for how the audience responds to this kind of visual damage. TGS could be too late for that kind of feedback.
 
From 1:40 onwards. That car was smacked head on prior to that sequence. It kinda appears to be a lag in the physics engine. I think with the full damage and physics engine turned on, that AI car might have flipped immediately, but the demo has a setting that prevents it from doing so, but isn't quite working properly and so caused the glitch :)

BTW the dials are way too dark in some sections. I think if you turned off the HUD like some want to, you wouldn't be able to read them very well.

Logitech said somewhere they might have a new G27 replacement by end of 2011....
So I'm holding off on that angle. DFGT is good enough for now.

A DFGT-G27 hybrid would rock, which is what I'm hoping for
 
Rated-M3
Well on my way home from Baltimore today, I stopped by a confirmed Best Buy in Glen Burnie. I played it for about an hour since my local Best buy doesn't have it The controller was shot unfortunately, the right joystick was worn to where it was tilted down a tad bit. The right joystick is in the button configuration as Up = gas, down = brake. So, the car was constantly braking which forced me to use it for gassing and braking. You cannot change the buttons as the options menu is locked. I'm used to driving on a controller configuration similar to NFS: Pro Street, which I don't even use a controller. So my driving sucked. After a couple of races I became more interested the damage.



Physics

The Physics seemed solid on all the cars. It had a different feeling to it than Prologue. For example, the body roll felt much more realistic compared to Prologue where everything felt like flat-out understeer. It was also visible, the car would lean on either side due to the g-force. The grass didn't suck you in like in Prologue. It has a different feel to it, but it is still a slow ride out of the grass. Downshifting while turning is now detrimental, meaning the rear end breaks loose from the higher revs. Power cars with no traction control are prone to spin outs, even on R3s, could just be the suspension though. Having driven on a controller, I cannot give a true comparison to Prologue or the TT demo. All this was experienced under Professional. I tried one game in Beginners and it a huge improvement from Prologue. The car did not handle unrealistically well like in Prologue's standard physics. Instead it seemed to just handle better maintaining the characteristics of the car. Drafting takes effect at a longer distance, not to the extent of Prologue. Professional physics drafting seemed more realistic, about 2-3 car lengths on Indianapolis. In beginner it seemed to drag you in faster than in professional as well. For tires, the N tires seem to be much more improved. They aren't as bad as in Prologue. S tires are in between the feeling of N and R tires.



Damage

The damage was great. Almost accurate as far as speed and collision points. I say this because in the other demos at game shows, people were eating the wall at 100+ MPH and barely hurt the car. Not the case here. Damage appears on all 4 sides of the car. The Nascar is the only car that's hood pops open. It is also the only car to shatter the rear quarter plexi-glass. THE CARS WILL NOT FLIP OVER. I tried a hundred times and the cars will only go air borne. Damage does affect car performance, not sure if it is mechanically or aerodynamically.



Other Items

The AI drive a lot smarter, sometimes I felt they even hit me back after I hit them. They try to avoid collisions better than in Prologue. They themselves make contact with other cars and the wall sometimes. Cars will not do stand still burn outs, they do crazy awesome donuts though. The graphics looked a bit better than Prologue, but not by a long shot. You cannot destroy your headlights so you can't see in the dark either. Debris kicked off the ground: Grass, dry grass, gravel, dirt.



The overall review: I'm pretty happy with it, it will definitely be a better experience on the wheel. I think the physics and damage is only 75% of what will actually be in the final product.



I thank my wife who got bored recording me the whole time lol.

Real man knows his priorities :D My GF knows what is coming and she'll be hapy with all 3 seasons of True Blood in perpective for November. My fear is what will I offer her after the last episode of S3 :)

Of Course Sex, GT5, Alcohol as the first ones... ;)
These are the one that the real man knows, the real ones may be different :(

Legal documents? Just kidding...

The good thing for me is that the B Spec Mode is back, stronger than ever.
It will allow me a balanced use of this addictive product. I may imagine myself cooking and have a look at that beautiful race scenes, giving some commands once on a while. Hopefully the credits will be usable also in the A spec.
 
Only just last week my wife said to me when GT5 comes out the only thing that matters is your enjoyment and the Kids , general house keeping and work commitments come second .............................mind you I did have a bottle of Chloroform and a Taser gun in my hand at the time LOL

I just bought a g27 recently after a long period with a DFGT and I highly recommend you upgrade. I just reached 40th on the Suzuka TT, 3 tenths quicker after 2 hours of getting used to the clutch and pressurised brake pedal. More speed is imminent.

That's because using a clutch offers a speed boost in Prologue - it's actually a form of cheating ;)

No doubt it's a better wheel, but one of the fastest drivers here uses a DFGT and goes toe to toe with the best clutch users

My wife and I were enjoying a bottle of wine by a campfire at our house and we were just talking and I happened to say "My GT5 game comes out pretty soon". Her first response "That's great different subject". LOL

While the use of the clutch is true probably 90% of people engaging the clutch will end up missing gears quite a bit until they get used to it. imo. I know I did at first. Whats weird is some cars you can't even use the clutch.
Click to expand...

Yep I've been missing 4th to 5th heaps and I'm struggling to brake in a straight line while heel toeing :lol: I'm zig zagging all through the braking areas.


@ CoolColJ, There is definitely a glitch with the triangle button but it is much more difficult driving Suzuka with three pedals and a gearstick. At least with the oversteering Lotus 11R anyway.




I've tried flat shifting but it just stays in neutral. There's a cheat with the triangle button. I'd never do it in GT. Realism FTW.

Yeah,me too but I forgot why they put GT5 on their commercial in the first place.
EDIT:Just saw it again it was in between a movie preview on the OnDemand Channel. It was nothing more than a Ferrari California on Eiger Nordwand. It lasts for about 5 seconds.

Really? The one I saw had a NASCAR driver (Dale Jr.) playing the game as himself at Indianapolis.
 
gtracedriver
But still it should be on replays. After all replay are meant for viewing such things, like overtaking, crashes and so on. It should be more dramatic with different camera angles. But you are right. It is early build, PS beta event may be and not ready yet. The final version will be fine I think. Obviously it is impossible to make everyone happy and some people will always complain :ouch:

Exactly why it must be turned off right now.

i live over in towson and almost stopped by this best buy today.. i just hate the trash I encounter whenever Im in glen burnie

I had no problem, walked in and out. Security came and checked me out but didn't say anything. Not everyday someone walks into your store and takes video of a demo on the kiosk.

Re-iterating, this is just a public demo. We obviously seen skidmarks in the latest build. The damage in the replay will surely be addressed, if not already done.

Thanks everyone and my wife says "Thanks" as well.
 
What the hells the deal? about 7 weeks til the Aussie release and they still haven't revealed what Aussie cars or tracks will be in the game. Okay Polyphony.. I'm not trying to be rude or anything but when have you guys ever given us Australians publicity? The last time we ever got any strong publicity was GT3 days.

Please Polyphony Digital release some info on Aussie content. I know KY is crazy about NASCAR and that's a good motorsport but V8 Supercars and Holden, Ford Aust, FPV and HSV need to be recognized the world over and its up to you now to do that. So tell us some Aussie cars and/or tracks that will be featured in the game. You've favoured the Americans and Europeans heaps lately now it's our turn.


Peace out, Heath.

Maybe I'm a bit drunk but I still have a very good point. Paulie and any other Aussies will agree, yeah?

Think about my problem... GT5 is released on my girlfriends birthday! Ive asked "You did want GT5 for your birthday right"
She said the other night how she knows Ive been waiting a little while for the game (understatment) and it would be ok to play it on her birthday... being a seasoned veteran I smelled the trap and said nah its cool, its only one day. *Instant brownie point*

What I didnt tell her is Im going to go pick up the copy at midnight and give it a major play through the night, then grab 1 hours sleep, then on to celebrate my girlfriends birthday... while constantly drinking energy drinks haha

I would love more Australian content (especially Bathurst!) but I don't really agree. America, Europe and Japan are huge markets and Australia doesn't really compare so I am happy to get anything really. We will find out Australian content soon enough, but I honestly don't expect much if any more than what GT4 has.
