Nice Trail Mountain replay
Replay camera is still the same as GT4, but other then that it looks incredible.
Nice Trail Mountain replay
When's the last time you all saw a car roll over in any form of GT racing?
playing GT5 prologue vs other racing games, is like playing a ps2 vs ps3 games, incrdible the leap in quality polyphony achieved...
I have a feeling GT5 will be for ps3 what GT1 have been on ps1 (an uparalleled revolution)
I quiet agree. After all the announcements and footage from E3, GC, TGS you begin to understand why its taken so long to develop. Infact im beginning to think PD have done extremely well to fit in so much content.
No other console racing game comes even close to what GT5 has to offer. Im sure Turn 10 who are currently developing Forza 4 must be shaking their heads thinking "how on earth can we match this". I've owned an Xbox 360 since launch but games such as GT5, Uncharted 2 are in a different league which is why im going to trade my 360 in.

I agree that T10 probably is shaking their heads; probably because they aren't given the luxury of a 5+ year development time and a much larger budget.
Don't get me wrong, GT5 really is shaping up to be utterly massive, the new standard to which all console racers will be judged, but I'd like to think that if T10 weren't hamstrung by the deadlines demanded of them, they'd probably get admirably close to what PD does. Maybe not best PD (or maybe only in certain aspects), but to create an entire series (and so far 3 iterations) in the time we've gone from GT4 to GT5 is a separate accomplishment in and of itself. Judged in that context, to even be considered a serious competitor (nevermind arguably the most GT-like competitor on consoles, the closest one), eh, congrats to them.
oh, pffft they have the budget cause they have more employees and remember when Microsoft paid R* 50 million for GTA4, all i'm saying is if they really need the money they could get it.
I'm sure it doesn't need to be said that Microsoft =/= Turn 10 itself. Just because the parent company can throw money at things like GTA4 doesn't mean they'd be willing to throw it into T10. And even then, they'd have to relax their views on deadlines.
Though just for fun, I guess I could also use the argument that, y'know, if Sony really wanted, they could get more money to PD. We all know it's basically a surefire investment!
Personally I feel what restricts Turn 10 isn't just development time but the fact they are restricted to DVD. Im old enough to remember video games on cassettes, cartridge and one of the main reasons why GT5 & Unchartered 2 are in a different league is because of Blu ray.I agree that T10 probably is shaking their heads; probably because they aren't given the luxury of a 5+ year development time and a much larger budget.

Someone over there needs to realize they should stop being rushed out, as they're in an odd middle ground between NFS' constant yearly editions and PD's more drawn out (though hopefully tightened up a bit post-GT5) schedule.

I also doubt their knowledge about racing. For me Forza has become more of a car game than a racing game if this makes any sense.
Good points 👍
Storage medium definitely does matter. I suppose that wall has already been hit for them, actually.
Funnily enough, I find it a bit ironic you say that about Forza because I feel largely the same way about GT. It's "racing game" status has always been kind of tenuous for me; with NASCAR being added, I guess it's taking a step in the right direction, but it's always felt more about the cars than actual, real racing. There's always been huge promise with SuperGT cars since they've always featured so prominently since GT2, but they've never really ran with it. I'm now really curious how the different disciplines will be handled, in detail, in GT5.
In the special effects video. But PD removed it![]()

They need to add some shoreline textures for the lake. Looks odd the way it is
yeah that's true, Microsoft's Xbox division is, hurry hurry hurry, money money money.![]()

microsoft did the same with pgr3 and gow.
On those occassions it meant the devs had to leave things out of the game to meet the deadline.
Their is a difference though with pd and t10
pd have been the main pioneer's being firsts at many things in racing games and have done so in the past.
Not only on software or game features and their high regards for attention to detail. However also utilising hardware to its max.
Examples:
Ps1
dual shock & analogue
proper ffb steering wheel
ps2
photomode with printer support
1080i output
triple monitor support
ps3
face tracking
3dtv
16 cars @ 60fps
1080p
clutch support
i cant admire t10 in the same light as i do pd even though they have done quite well but the way that greenwalt behaves and comments he has made in interviews in the past is mostly hot air. T10 will never reach the accomplishments with forza as a franchise that gt has become. It was also very frustrating for me to find fm3 went more in the direction to appease the general gamers particulary to appeal to yonger gamers with one button play etc. Of course the importance was on more possible profits than the focus was to take the sim genre further in the franchise. For me although a fun title it did little to appeal to the sim interested fans who really wanted a sim game with more sim elements over fm2.
As for commerical success i assume gt5 will likely sell more in its first week than fm3 sold in a year.
I have never played Forza and don't really plan on it. I might try iracing though. I think all the money put in to Forza should have been thrown for free at PD. It would be nice to have all videogame drivers on the same page instead of spread out playing all these arcadey racers.
