Here’s a look inside the Subaru Impreza WRC car as it makes its way around Tokyo R246, as seen in one of the GT5 demos used at the recent GT Academy 2010 national finals. Thanks to CoolColJ for digging this up!
See more articles on Tokyo R246 and video.
omg u haters should GTFO, it looks awesome, to complain about the face expressions is seriously RETARDED, this is a racing sim, not ” The Sims”
@JackistheStig: I was going to say exactly the same thing about Solberg! It’s the first unrealistic thing I’ve seen on GT5…
Pro-Tip : When you want to find the name of a song. Type some of the lyrics into Google along with the word “lyrics”
Very nice.But the PUBLIC 2D,SOO UGLY!Please PD CHANGE!
I find it amazing for a racing game to have such useless animations… Imagine the level of detail of the stuff that count!! I want the game, it WILL be absolutely fantastic i am sure. As for the sound, having heard a WRC car live, well it could be much better.. But then again, this is a crappy quality video, so i do not care.. anyway i think they got the pitch quite right..
hmm.. not really impressed.. Okay, it looks awesome, but the sound…. is horrible. It’s fake. I’ve bought DiRT 2 and the Subaru in that game sounds way better than this. :(
The co-driver is saying: right 7. Looks like pacenotes are in the game.
@Ken, so when you drive a car (assuming you drive), does your head turn proportionately with the wheel? Riiiiiiiight. I’d rather just have the driver shake about a bit to give the impression of motion and bumps instead of this overly-animated rubbish.
Sorry, I have all the respect in the world for Kaz and the franchise he has created, but that is absolutely crap.
Wait a minute, that’s Petter Solberg and Phil Mills (Mills has the Welsh flag on his head).
Ideas: 1. Have the option to import your Home avatar. 2. Have the option to customise your driver’s and co-driver’s appearance.
I can see, the Co-Driver says “mimimi…..mimimi…mimimi” :D Looks very cool, much improvement to other racing games.
im not gonna lie i really REALLY hope that wasnt close to the final product! the car shifts long before you see the drivers hand shift!
i do however like the use of the handbrake in the rally car thats pretty realistic…
Thanks to the guys who helped me out with the name of the song. I adore it! :D
@CarBastard
The song is Jonathan Underdown – SURV1V3
That is ok I guess but a co-driver on a non-rally road track? LOL! Looks kinda silly. They need to have this co-driver in the game though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzbspSE-t9U
I reckon they should make the driver look the way the car is heading rather than in response to steering input. I think doing this would remove some of the unnatural head movements you see here. Not a big deal of course, but I still think it would be an improvement
It’s amazing k :)
Still sounds awful.
Great,
I hope the guy isn’t moving his mouth for nothin!!!! the animation is really good and about time we had replay view of the interior….btw who thinks the sound needs more improvement…only if they could hve sound like nfs shift…although in nfs it is drastically over imposed
The Song is SURVIV3. By Jonathan Underdown. took me ages to find. it, i think beemp3 and mp3raid have it though. hope I helped
It looks strange to see Petter Solberg driving without his mouth wide open.
Hehe It works. and that’s all..
Co-driver is just saying, Bla bla bla and pause and then Bla bla bla, and then Bla bla bla
LOL who gives a funky doddle, lots of other games has nice interior, so not only PD DOH!! It’s cool to be a GT-Fanatic, But stupid to be that fanatic.. Wake up!! GT5 is the bomb, but that doesn’t mean, that all other attempts are useless, there is several Nice Race games out, and more will come, GT5 is great, But Not the only one..
Great video. The animation is good. Phil Mills (the co-driver, he is from Wales) call the notes, great! And never will 900 degree in the WRCar, but it has more than a half turn, so I hope too, they will fix this probleme. The sound could be better. Maybe we will get as cool service crew animation to the WRC as the NASCAR has. That is pretty impressive.
i think its fine. i hope kaz doesnt look here and see all u haters and extend the date again.
wowowowowowowowowowowowowowow.
Not impressed.
The driver looks retarded shaking his head all over the place. Maybe its just the real life driver not knowing how to drive making him do that. Hopefully…
this is the driver and co-drivers face during the video;
:|
Dear god that’s impressive.
What’s up with the 900 degree Issue? correct me if I’m wrong, but I though only road cars has 900 degree and the Race cars and Rally cars has 360 degree?
A bit of a mixed bag.
if it were my game, that’s far more detail than I’d put into my drivers.
of course I wouldn’t let replay videos feature them either.
Very good, but face reaction are suck… great realism…

The song Daiki kasho – survive
Amazing video. I can’t believe some are complaining and to be honest GT5 will never be released if these complainers had their way!
“Name another game that has this feature this complete!!”
Any rally game ever created?
The navigator moves his mouth like Beeker from the muppets…
he shifts! aleluya!
another reason GT5 delayed..facial expression! LOL..well i thinks is too much…& somebody complaining about lypsync……
That’s assuming there will be actual point-to-point rally stages in GT5. *fingers crossed*
I hope that at the end of a rally, the navigator doesn’t throw his notes at the dashboard while the driver waves his hands around like an infant. DiRT can be a little over-the-top.
I didn’t like the animations at all. I already thought the hand movement for the paddle shift was weird, now the full animation is even weirder.
Pretty cool.
The facial expressions look fine, how many emotions do you expect a professional driver to display in 61 seconds? I’d be more concerned if he DIDN’T look calm and collected. The co-driver is more animated than I thought he’d be, which is cool too. And how much bouncing around do you expect them to do when they’re fully strapped in like that? Thoughts before criticisms, perhaps…
it’s pretty good – kind of like watching Kraftwerk driving though!
lol, they seemed so calm.. “Did we just crash?”
“…No…”
Driver Self Thought: I can’t believe he screwed my sister…
WOW! That was so cool. I love how they were affected by the G-forces of your driving. Also, the little movements the navigator is making really sell it. I hate to say this, but I’m such an in-cockpit fanatic that if this is the kind of stuff that is delaying the game, TAKE YOUR TIME PD.
Holy god this is amazing for the PS3’s graphics power.
I remember reading comments on the forums about the gear change animations in forza before they released the patch. well this is comparable to that – the character is just waving his hand in thin air in the clip! If this stays like that until release I doubt we would see a patch.
Looks, great, engine sounds are good, but needs that Transmission whine sound.. As well, very great animations! A+ No other game does it better.. To bad no full 900degree rotation :( still. I bet they did it so that GT6 will have minor things fixed.
That co-pilot looked like he was mumbling. I hope he doesn’t have a thick accent too. Hopefully we can choose from hundreds of co-pilot voices. And, we need to be able to pick the drivers racing suit colors… and add patches from our favorite sponsors… and do custom paint jobs on the helmets… and be able to add a rad goatee, or some cool sunglasses…
oh, I guess I will have to actually drive the cars at some point too.
Huh, they look like real people, emotionless though
You guys are always bitchin bout sumum….Those animations and his reactions are perfect. Name another game that has this feature this complete!! Stop Crying and enjoy GT5
What about eye blinking and different co-pilot?
“Co pilot in a race track, how cool is that ??? LOL.” its “cool”because it shows how far Polyphony is taking gt5, this might just be the best racing sim this gen…till gt6. this authenticity to real road racing is what sim racers all have been waiting for. the attention to details is astonishing, its not needed, but in a real rally race it would feel weird w/o a co-pilot. what do you suggest? have in the incam veiw with 1 driver and the voice come out of no where…
I sincerely hope that the engine note there was taken from a rusty old hair dryer, because that was terrible! As for the driver animations…not impressed by that either. It’s almost like the head just turns with the wheel which is ridiculous.
The navigator actually talks at around 50 seconds into the vid, well mumbles something…..
Yeah i made it to the top page of GTP :)
I made the Video at the GT Academy Final in Silverstone.
Thx to Tony “Tizzlaa” who showed me the new replay cams. ;)
the animations look wird because the driver is just bashing around the circuit.
If you had a hot lap with smooth driving lines, I’m sure it would look a lot better.
I wonder if the driver animations will be linked to head tracking….
That is just awesome! :o the ppl who whine about this can shove smth somewhere not so comfortable.. : )
I hope the “standard” cars get more steering degrees than the racing/rally cars! should not be so hard to make if they can do all this to the animation : )
Anyone else hoping for co-driver / navigator voiced directions? The mouth animations are kinda hinting to that.
The one view you wont see in any other game, because they just don’t give a shit what their cockpits look like. Only PD..
notice the welsh flag on the co-drivers helmet at about 46 secs in, love the detail!
OH MY GODD!!!!!
Co pilot in a race track, how cool is that ??? LOL
:hit giant brick wall: (and rapeat untill its fixed)
By the way the animation suck, look at the looped head movement!
Agreed, this is so great for a driving game, can’t believe people would still whine to the max =)
very impressed with the driver reactions to the road. you never really see the driver when you race so this is cool that PD modeled it anyway! …there are better aspects of the game to improve on than this. i’m satisfied with the level of animations so far :)
Oh, and about the video: I think the animations aren’t perfect, but they are way better than I’ve ever seen in a driving game. @Miura, come on, it’s GT not Heavy Rain, it doesn’t depend or need realistic face model with accurate human expressions…
HELP! HELP! PLEASE TELL ME THE NAME OF THE SONG ON THE VIDEO!!!
I know it’s in GT5P and in GT5TT but I haven’t been able to get it’s name and I really love the song. Thanks in advance fellow GTP’ers ;).
Still no 900 degree steering? Am I the only one really bothered by this?
Lets hope that’s not the finished sound!
It looks OK, but the Face-expressions well,… suck.
They don’t seem to get thrown around as much as I would expect them to by the way the car was being driven. Not that it’s really a big deal.
1st! The interior looks great and so do the animations! I can’t wait.
very nice, i think sony should drop the price of the PS3 to 100 US dollars…i have to sell Tony Hawk’s Ride
