Real Life London Tour (Image Heavy)

[Mithster18]

Heres my Google Street View Tour of the London Street Circuit Featured here in GT5. I'm planning on doing other street circuits, unless somebody has already beaten me to it.

So here we go, around the streets of London.



Start off with a map of the course drawn out over google maps

Start Finish Line Crossing Wardour/Whitcomb Street

After that, (obviously) The First Corner

Exit of the Corner

After Leicester Square and going past the Garrick Theatre

Past the St Martin-in-the-Fields Church

Entrance to Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column





Down Cockspur Street and Turning right past the New Zealand House(the tall building)

Down Haymarket and turning left at the Haymarket Theatre

Southwest on Charles II Street

Towards Piccadilly Circus on Regent Street
stupid bus...

The penultimate series of corners that is Piccadilly Circus

Hopefully you enjoyed my nights work, and if people want I can make more topics like this.

Nicely done.

 

[Jav]

That's pretty cool stuff man! Well done!

 

[Crimson]

Pretty cool. If I had a decent camera I'd hop on the tube to Piccadilly and take a few snaps for myself, but that remains a pipe dream for now.

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Good effort mate 👍

 

[Duck]

I enjoyed it a lot. A bit addicted to track (even fictional) photo tours 👍

 

[CyKosis1973]

Whilst I didn't screen cap it, I did this tour only the other day. Good job 👍

If only the real London was as clean and tidy looking as the GT5 London.

Mate, I really enjoy your work collecting these pics..

Do it again with other city tracks please

 

[DENSO25]

👍👍👍👍👍

 

[tourist]

Good job!
I planned to do this in Bern.. but then.. there was no track in Bern

I am still a bit sad about that.. there are be so many great possibilities

 

[Nish]

I noticed the buildings that are beige in real life come out as brown on GT5 and white as beige. Wonder if they were trying to make them look more aged and classic.

Amazing observations. I will never drive around London in real life or in GT with the same "oh, this one again" expression. Sterling work that man! 👍

 

[Energizerrr]

Great job, loved it.
Amazed how race track look makes London not look like London at all.

 

[exiledfrenchy]

Great work man, very nice!

How long did that take you?

 

[BrandonW77]

Very nicely done man! all around!

 

[Alex p.]

Agree with all, great job. 👍

Don't like how they recreated London though, I have been there and in the game it looks a little too perfect and bright and colourful.

Project Gotham Team have been the best at recreating cities, PGR4 has some amazing city tracks for sure.

 

[Motor City Hami]

Pretty cool

 

[Mithster18]

How long did that take you?

If I cut out all the mucking around time, probably a 2-3 hours, taking pics/screen caps, cropping and formatting for posting.

And by the general consensus I'll make the other street circuits in GT5. And maybe 4&3

 

[Sele1981]

Yeah, great work

 

[MOTORTRENDmitch]

VERY COOL! that's and Awesome idea man!

 

[jvale]

Great job

 

[khooke]

very cool. the odd thing about how the textures for the buildings are rendered in GT5 is that it makes them look too shiny. the buildings in real life are definitely not shiny by any means. while the graphics in GT5 are impressive they have an odd plasticy/shiny look.

having driven and walked down most of these streets many times I was actually surprised that this track is actually based on real streets... I'd always assumed this was 'based-on' the look n feel of London but was fictitious. how funny

 

[blah blah blah]

Can we have tokyo if it's not to much to ask I'd like to see that one.

 

[greg666]

awesome ~ +1

 

[yoghurt_dog]

If only the real London was as clean and tidy looking as the GT5 London.

.....But perfectly clean, tidy and ordered cities are........*cough*(dull)*cough*

 

[Mithster18]

Can we have tokyo if it's not to much to ask I'd like to see that one.

Yup I'm planning on doing Tokyo either tonight or tomorrow. Be on the look out on this forum.
