[Metalmurphy]

Hey amar,

Can you take the same picture in 800x450, 1920x1080 and 3,840px ×2,160px?

I wanna see if the picture is actually being rendered at those resolutions or just resized.

Come on Amar, it's already past midnight.

Because you know, people with GT5 aren't human and have to do what people say like a machine. He already said he's getting on it.

As I noticed yesterday, I am getting the same message as other members with the game about some functions "Not being available in this Version of the game". It is very safe to presume that players with connection to PSN will get some serious update as servers go up (on 24/11, as being announced on official web) that will unlock or make visible all community/online features.

This is what I mean when I say offline people need to find a connection.

Edit: Jason_Hall apparently already made a comment about this oops. My bad.

@Amar: could you tell what is this page of the Apex book about (sorry I don't know the exact page) ?

They don't seem to be tracks included in the game, but they don't appear to be real tracks either. What are those?
Are there more tracks than we currently know listed in the Apex book?

I have an extension in Google chrome that does that automatically for me.

The screen tearing has NOTHING to do with your monitor. The game engine drops the vertical sync instead of frame dropping, or slowing.

I would actually go with that if I didn't own two monitors that behaved totally differently in regards to screen tearing.

The top-left picture looks a lot like Okayama International Circuit, which is used in SuperGT.

It looks like Okayama, but it's different.
The track below too, looks like a mix of Old Fuji Speedway (with the banked section) + High speed ring + some internal sections.

 

[bonobos]

Come on buddy - spill your guts!!!!

 

[CodeRedR51]

He's not even on the thread right now guys. Patience.

I was under the impression he has it or am I wrong ?

 

[tarantula]

Almost three thousand people hitting F5.. wows

Alright now this picture is odd. Screen tearing affects the entire horizontal line of the screen, as screens are refreshed vertically one line at a time. Screen tearing as blatant as the one on this wiper would noticeably change the side of the car and the background on the track too... but it doesn't. This leads me to believe one of two things. 1. The wipers have an odd animation glitch, or 2. The camera recording the video simply couldn't keep up with the fast speed of the wipers causing inconsistencies in the video. Either way, it's not your regular screen tearing.

It just seems like possible configurations of a created track...not really a track listing because there is no discription or pictures beside it...

F--KIN HATE that i cant buy any car at the dealerships, just premium ones. This is the biggest **** i've ever seen in a while.

I have to wait for my favorite cars to pop up in the used cars list.

Kaz! What the F--- were you thinking? I have enough money to buy a new ride, but almost none is premium what i want!

~I think this is kind odd... but real. You can´t walk in a alfa romeo dealer and ask for a classic giulietta. I´m pretty confident there´s a lot of cars that are out of production or outdated ... ok ok, a lot of them could be purchased in the dealers, i agree... The possibility of buying all the 800 standard cars only from the used lists gives the game an extra flavor of "lucky". I mean... rare cars are probably hard to find, you need to be lucky.. to walk by a person selling a rare or classic car. So, what i am talking here is "Everyday you play gt5...a surprise will be waiting for u... just go there an check".

I like it.
