Thanks for taking all that time to fill our brains with GT goodness Amar 👍

 

[mr_VOLCANO]

Thanks for all the great info amar!

I knew GT5 is going to be epic, but you just confirmed it for me

 

[nuclearfire]

Thank you, Amar212

 

[Eat2thebeat]

Thanks for all the time and effort Amar. Has really helped fill that time gap!

 

[SlipZtrEm]

A huge thanks Amar, for the comprehensive Photomode update and the answering of my question. I wonder if we'll be able to fiddle with the height of that free-roam camera...

Look forward to seeing you online next week!

I wish he did another preview because the last days are going to be very long.

Hello Amar, thank you for your efforts they are greatly appreciated.

Just a question for the rain stages. In cockpit view, can you see the direction of the rain falling if your car is stopped or reversed? Going forwards the aerodynamics will push the rain upward on the windshield. How about stopping or going reverse? The rain should go downwards. Just curious as the rain effects are superb.

Hi Amar, thanks a lot for this review, i have one question

GT5 will have full support of the G27? Like the pedal shifters and actually being able to change the options for the wheel?

 

[happycorey]

It's crazy how far of a leap forward GT5 is yet how backwards the features are

 

[Road Grime]

Thanks Amar! I looked forward to your review every day, it sure helped ease the pain of waiting for release day.

I hope you can get the head tracking figured out, I'd like to hear more on that.

 

[Traviizter]

Thanks again Amar, stunning photos and information you have posted for us.

Backwards? Care to elaborate? How much more do you want?

I just would have like features from GT4, to be carried on, or even improved further than what they are. Not a lot, but why drop good things that helped make GT4 re-playable for years? The game isn't ruined but they're going to have to listen up from the community for GT6 to be what GT5 should have been

I would like specifics. I find many people have been very nitpicky about the game. Including myself, I have since over come my disappoints. GT5 look like it will be an amazing game and with 220 premiums, I don't think I'll ever buy all of them.

Over the weekend and especially from Monday upwards many new screens and videos will arise, so we should be quite entertained.
But then there is Sunday, yeah, this day will still be a long one...

A million thanks! looks like I'm gonna be staying on my TV forever with the awesomeness that's gonna bombard us in a few days

 

[raptors195]

Thanks for the review Amar. Hopefully you can get the headtracking to work because I'm really interested in that.

Yeah... man it's amazing how 4 days can seem like a year when wating for something :|

Problem is that you can't view replay after the race I know it is not funny, but since there is no replay, you can't save it too. I really hope PD will include option to have and save replays in 2PSS races, since I presume zillions of players will race GT5 casually on split-screen.

bye bye to one of my favourites features in GT... play with a friend and enjoy the replay....

 

[irnbrutwinturbo]

Every time I see the number 212 I will forever associate it with Amar and GT5.

Thankyou.

 

[tinram]

Thanks Amar, that was great!

Well I have usually become really accepting of it's flaws, but otherwise the game seems to have been rushed. First it was the standards were of lesser quality, I find it okay now, they don't look TOO bad. But I was accepting because I figured I would still be able to customize them as I did in GT4, build cars from the used car dealer, put some wheels on them (usually from Today's Special) and race and drag race them, and then with my friends. Then I come to find out the wheel selection is limited, the fact you can not change the wheels on standard cars and there is no 0-400 testing to be found. In addition, two player split screen is still there, thankfully, but no replays? You can't save replays either? This is pretty significant in the replay (continuous play) factor and enjoying it with friends who may not have the game, and saving good races/funny things. Among others, there are a limited amount of updated cars, despite the 1000 car mark. Combined with the lack of returning tracks (Midfield, Apricot Hill, Infineon) is unfortunate as well, but with the new track editor it should hopefully recreate some old favorites.

Amar, if your still around. In photomode I believe you can change the format from 16:9 to 3:2, does this allow for higher res pictures than 1920-1080?

 

[GasolineJunkie]

It seems kinda wierd that Amar mentioned that you can do one make races in Arcade but it seems that they have deleted these in GT Life.

 

[Gavster11]

Well done amar212!!

An excellent review and a WAV file added as well for us who hate BGM! FANTASTIC!!!!!
👍 👍 👍 👍

 

[qwkbowtie]

I havent read every page (only most)

Can anyone confirm that we wont have 400m tests!??? Are you kidding me??

We went from talk about including a drag mode to not even including a test? I will be extremely disappointed...
