looks nice..hope the windshield can break away too or are they like that in racecars?

I am still getting the game, but one thing that worrys me is that it looks like you can flip to easy, the crashing look amazing for a video game, but every time i spin into a gravel trap i dont wont to flip. Man i hate complaining, thats the only thing that kind of worry me.

Dont think so...they are provoking them...and i think many cars roll over as in high forwardspeed fasion then i can see its a game, but often it looks great and when i see real life crashes they often roll when hitting grass in high spead sliding in.

Every simulator which want to be respected should have a realistic damage systems, it makes you more cautious of the consequence of bad driving and makes you a better driver... a more REALISTIC driver...

Almost all simulators out there have physics damages. The visual rapresentiation is very cool but it's not a crucial point. Once you go off the track against a wall, all you need to know the race is simply over, in Pc sims there is a raw graphic rapresentation of a crash and the car wont work after. in GT5 you can do this online A shame they didn't implemet in career mode. Anyway thumbs up to SMS for the detailed collision and damage system.. better than Burnout series.

That proofs that they are arcadedrivers :)

Most of them are using chase cam. Unfortunately that crappy view has the best sound!!!!!!!! Every other view with the LFA sounds horrible. Just watch Top Gear's shakedown of the LFA. The engine tone can clearly be heard in the cabin.

This over use of gear whine drowning engine noise is getting old.
 
It does look a little amped, but I've always wanted a racing game where one big crash really punishes you for the mistake/being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
 
The game freezes a lot ! specially while tuning/modifying the cars as i said before
, hope they solve that problem soon ..

Is it a complete system freeze and you have to power off your system, or is it a game freeze and you can quit to the xmb and just restart the game?
 
game is great! no complaint whatsoever so far except you need to level up to customize stuff, however it takes no more than a few races to unlock some decent rims.
 
There's no forced clutch. If you disable automatic clutch you can still just slam the h-shifter into any gear you want like in the last shift. 👎
 
The vids on the previous page look amazing. It seems that Shift2 is going to offer what I expected from GT5.

Can't wait to get it.

You can use h-shifter? Didn't know that. Sweet. Ok, getting in shower now, got to get over to GameStop and get game and stop reading about it on the internets!!
 
S2U & Fanatec Wheels

Although no response has been forthcoming by EA on its NFS forum,

.....or the official EA NFS Blog,

.....and its affiliate SpeedHunters' Blog regarding status of the now "not officially supported" Fanatec wheel for PS3 despite numerous posts requesting clarification....

....the great people at http://www.insidesimracing.com have posted a video of the Fanatec wheel in action on S2U with a PS3 along with the settings they used.

See: http://insidesimracing.tv/videos/view/437/0/Inside-Sim-Racing-Episodes

Seems as if it is recognized as a G27 wheel, just as in NFS S1, although not officially supported.
 
I don't know which addition to get. Normal or Limited Edition. Didn't people note from a video posted the other day showing all cars and there was no Nissan Silvia, Lamborghini Murchielargo or Alfa Romeo Guillietta Cloverleaf (I think thats what the UK version is refered to unless we use QV as well) which are the carss from the Limited Edition. Does that mean they are only available with the Limited Edition and not the normal version?
 
I have the limited edition but the redeem code for extra content does not work yet - the server responsible isn't up, so you won't be seeing any extra content videos just yet.
 
I got the limited edition because it was sitting on the shelf at Blockbuster, I didn't pre order. My code worked fine and I got the cars, and they're nifty indeed. So, anyone who had problems getting your code in should try again.
 
And it's not seeing the T500!!!!!!!

Maybe a thread on their forums should or will be started by someone to ask for:

A) Confirmation they are working on it
B) Encourage them to do so.

If plenty of people want it and post in such a thread on the games forums. We know EA were sent the wheel as TM via Facebook confirmed this then it is likely to come with some patch for the game.
