A few videos and impressions are rolling in from the Honda CR-Z promo event in Times Square today, but the GT5 demo on display is a little underwhelming. With that said, RavenFox of NeoGAF did catch a glimpse of High Speed Ring in the rain in the course selection menu – though it wasn’t actually raining when his race began.
Hey guys just so you know Honda is holding a special event at Times Square NY on street lvl and guess what game is there? Yup GT5 using the 3D setup on 5 race pods. Something caught my eye on one of the pods just before the race started. It was drizzling rain on the track menu screen but it did not rain in the race. Before I sat down to play one of the host told me this is one of many builds. This one did have tire marks though. AI is damn impressive and fights you all the way.
Ok I was completely off since I glimpsed the track. It was High Speed ring that showed the rain on the menu screen. If I had more time I could have recorded this in 720p on my Captivate and uploaded it.
UPDATE: According to user Indibisible in the comments below, Autumn Ring (along with a wide array of other circuits) has been included in this demo. If anyone at the event (which runs until 6PM) could confirm this with a video of the track selection screen, it would be much appreciated! (It looks like Autumn Ring may be visible in this picture – compare with the actual track map here.)
Thanks to Dave and Lexx for the pictures and videos!
See even more photos here.

PD has a bad knack for demoing the same tracks all the time…
I just played the demo of GT5, it sucks big time. Heap of steaming dung.
funny, worse could be said about your driving skills. GT games never have been like the unrealistic piece of crap games that you play a few times & get bored. Learning to play this game takes skill that you definetly don’t have, so have fun getting 20 hours out of your type of racing garbage like burnout while us GT fans get literally years out of this one game. that’s why there are so many websites dedicated to the GT series like this one, & none dedicated to your crappy racing games because really, what’s there to talk about? your high score? lol no wonder you’re here talking smack, anythings better than whatever useless game you wasted $60 on, you’re pathetic
Jordan, unthinkable!
Why did they cover up the screen with that lousy magazine??
Maybe Suzuka or Top Gear Test track???
I hope that the Seattle Circuit is in it again.Really like that track in the previous GT’s and hoping to see it again in Gran Turismo 5.
I finally created an account after reading here for months…
Yes me too! One of my favourite city tracks! I remember an endurance race on Seattle Circuit I did in GT2…
And there was another track which I really liked to play: Rome at night (GT2)
Worst event ever
Sorry, I know this question is way off topic, but has there been any word about the PS3 music library usage in GT5 (like on GT PSP)? No biggy if it doesn’t but still a really cool feature none the less.
Yeah im pretty sure thats been confirmed for a while now that you’ll be able to use your own music?…If not im sure somebody will correct me lol.. would/will be a sweet feature though for those 24 hour races
yes that has been confirmed. Your music selection. All day long.
I think PSN+ subscribers should get the GT5 demo.
If they made a GT5 demo a PSN exclusive, thousands of people would register for that alone including me
i would most def sign up for PS+ if that were the case…
Not really a good marketing move tho.. Yes they’d probley get more people subscribing to PS+ but then people like me, who wouldnt pay just for a demo, wouldnt get to try the demo, hence maybe not buy the game. (Oviously im buying the game but see what i mean?) Where as say if a demo does get released, for free, i try it, i like it, i buy it. Makes more sence to me to make it free..
Now that i thin about it, i take back what i said. GT5’s coming out in 5 1/2 Weeks…
What Toronto gt5 event? I live in T.O I will go
LOL spagettimonster. Release dates were confirmed so don’t worry. This awesome game won’t (hopefully) be delayed.
It must be a bad demo if everyone is just looking at the selection menu.
hehe, we’re all looking for new stuff to fantasize about I guess.
Most of us would rather know which tracks we can drive on for hours on end when the game gets released then drive for 2 minutes on a track we all know too well.
37 more days people:)
39 by my countdown to the 2nd
Damn , CR-Z , Really !!
I was expecting REAL cars 0_o
Well as we all know GT isn’t only about supercars, but I guess your comment was more about the fact that they highlight this car instead of any one of the supercars in the game.
As a study showed (featured here on gtplanet some time ago) people the feeling of wanting a certain car can be increased by driving a car in a game like GT5.
It seems logical for car manufacturers to promote they cars via these kinds of events. I wouldn’t be surprised if PD got a decent amount of money for making this a ‘Honda Time Square Event’ and featuring the CR-Z.
GT5 has become a marketing platform as well as a game.
sorry, i made a bad sentence, the word ‘people’ should be removed :D
Some premium cars have pretty bad quality shadow in the interior view while others have better one.
I wonder all the new features have some negative effects on the performance of the game.
Hope they sort them out until the release, or after…
@ ChinKie: I hope you’re right. They should just give a list with every car & track. With what I’ve heard in this forum, it looks like PD added lots of new & old tracks from past GT games. I hope we get what they said at first, “we’ll include every track from GT4, & add to them, putting new tracks & making the old tracks look smoother…” Yay I’m so happy. GTplanet, what would we all GT fans be without you. Thanks Jordan.
I hope that the GT5 demo in Toronto coming up in 2 weeks don’t end up like this one. Really hoping to scroll through the tracks and have some fun rather than being forced to drive an already confirmed track.
I know I’m late to the party by internet’s standards but I just have to share that I was there at around 5pm. :)
I spoke to the guy there for a second while he was adjusting the wheel. I asked what built was that and he said that it was the one from GamesCom (various cars) and he also said that the demos with Honda cars were a bit newer built. He let me drive the SLS on Tokyo track with 2 minutes time limit. I don’t remember what were the tracks but he scanned through a lot of them before he got to the Tokyo Route 246 track and there were still plenty to go. One track that I saw had an Italian or Spanish anem, looked like a difficult one with a lot of twisties, asca la or ascia la or asria, I don’t.. something like that. It def. wasn’t Citta di Aria nor Cote d’Azur nor circuit de la sarthe.
I had a blast during those two minutes, it was awesome. One more thing, did teh 3D suck? I couldn’t tell the difference with or without the glasses, it looked the same to me.
Was it Costa di Amalfi?
hmmm… I wonder if that was you I saw… I had a pair of avid GT fans behind me, we talked GT4 & Prolog just before it was quickly our turn.
There were pods on the left (3 I think) for the CRZ on HSR only, and the other (3 again I think) for the SLS on Tokyo.
Was it a rather tall and slim fellow you spoke with? That’s who I spoke with and he let me see the tracks & cars on the condition that I put away my camera/phone. LOL!
Trying to remember as it was a bit back now, LOL:
The 3 Nerbs were there. Loop, F1, and 24hr complete. Cote, and a slew of others I never heard of before or can recall.
Cars: Ford GT, 69 Vette, Lambo, SLS, CRZ, and others.
He went by them pretty quick as he figured out I was trying to memorize things.
The setup felt to smooth for me, I didn’t have to put much effort into turning and feed back wasn’t quite there for me. Maybe it was the DF GT wheel they used, maybe a setting, maybe it’s the way that car feels, maybe the build. Maybe it’s me and just being used to my setup (DFP), but I wasn’t getting that feed back telling me I was pushing it. I’ll go and say it was most likely me. :-)
As for the 3D, it all just looked blury w/o the glasses, as expected. I didn’t feel much of a 3D effect with them on, though I was expecting it.
Perhaps, Ascari Race Resort?
http://www.ascari.net/
Lexx. I don’t think that was me, I was alone, I went there right after work. But I did talk to that rather tall fella lol about GT4 and Prologue though.
Akira and Freeman it wasn’t any of those courses you mentioned. hm how to describe it. imagine a rubber band that you stretched and crossed in the middle, I think the track was crossing so it has an overpass or underpass and it had a lot of curves and turns and twists. It didn’t look easy. Man, I wish I took a picture. This track was right next to the Tokyo Route.
Can you confirm multiple variations of known tracks? For example Tokyo Route 246 appears to have had a short version too. Without thinking about the exact variation name, do you remember if there were old tracks that had more variations than you usual?
Sadly, no. I was so anxious to play and he was going through the list so quick that it was only that one track which popped up for me.
This is why i hate glossy TV’s
Just wanted to say, thanks for the news Dave and others. I think we can finally put the 20 track concern to rest.
Cheers
Sorry, its reversed.
Its not. it has a tunnel like high speed ring, but it also has a big straght.
It was High Speed Ring. I was the one who recorded the videos!
Sorry, but what the hell track is that in the secound video that the three people are playing?
High speed ring. Its also in the first video.
Maybe the tracks were only listed in the menu’s, and could not be played anyway. Maybe the demo would crash, or spit out a error-message if you select one.
We’re all super curious to know what’s in the game, all the details…isn’t that a little bit like knowing what you’re getting for Christmas or your birthday?
I’d like some surprises left for me to discover by myself on 2 Nov when I slide that blu-ray disk into the PS3 and fire it up for the first time.
Yikes…2 Nov is way too far off!
Exactly… people go crazy over not knowing EVERY tiny detail about the game. I dont want to see a list of every single car and track in the game, id rather play it and experience it myself!
I REALLY think that’s the High Speed Ring. I can tell by looking at the thumbnail.
are you replying to me?
the 2nd and 3rd surely are HSR but the first… absolutely not
No way. If PD didnt want any one to see the new tracks,why didnt they just sent a build with just the high speed ring on it. A bit risky just to expect some dudes on min wage to stop people trying out the new tracks.
I agree. I think we were supposed to see them and have new (maybe partial) track list today but some Honda joker messed that all up.
about the forum… If you reply to a post, then go back and try to make a general post it will reply to the same post over and over unless you click “click here to cancel reply.” FIRST.. oh well.
I believe they were expecting a massive amount of people at the event, that’s why the brilliant minds of the Honda folk made us all play on the High speed ring, and with assists on, and on arcade mode.
It was a do your 2 laps and keep it moving type deal not a get to explore GT5. One lady crashed and could not get back on track and was told her time was up although she did not finish the two laps.
You’re looking at it from a GT5 standpoint. I’ll make it thorough this time. sigh*
This was an Event by Honda to promote the CR-Z, not GT5. So lets imagine that Honda called Kaz and said, “Hey Kaz, could you send Chris Miranda and a few of your guys to set up my CR-Z on the Playstation…what you call it…ah Gran Turismo! Just let the people play the CR-Z so that they can all be amazed at how cool it looks in 3D and how “fast” it goes. Thanx for the promotional help.” If you really must blame someone, blame Honda and get over with it.
The fact was that Chris Hinojosa-Miranda was there. I think he was the person in charge of the booth there. He probably told the folks to not let anyone look at the other tracks.
I agree with Steph290 and David. I doubt we were suppose to stray from the highspeed ring menu but we got fortunate to have been able to do so. Unfortunately we weren’t able to document the large number of tracks available. I was scrolling for a while and did not even get to the end of the list on the world or created tab didnt even get to touch the snow/dirt menu.
Why in the world would SONY/PD have bothered to go through all the trouble to put all those tracks in this demo and wasted the time it takes to downoad them to the even if they didn’t want everyone to see them? That’s what I’m saying.. I think SONY/PD are pissed that somebody went over their heads and decided not to let people play them, film them, upload the vids, and share the “news”…
They won’t admit it now anyway to save face. BTW, not trying to argue.. just friendly discussion :-)
typing on this PS3 “keyboard” txt input thing is slow and frustrating- need to get on PC or hook up keyboard to PS3, LOL.. :-/
Well I made my point. Not gonna argue too much, but I bet we get a big bunch of confirmed tracks and new track list very soon because the GT5 side of this HONDA/GT5 cross promotion didn’t get the “news” out.
I just got F1 2010 today at Best Buy.. first day I was able to get it- basically the game’s release date. Why am I bringing this up you ask? What better day to put out some GT5 news without LOOKING like you’re trying to put out GT5 news? Just something to think about.
/Off Topic F1 2010 is REALLY fun so far ;-] *and I’m a race SIM fan, not a race GAME fan.
WTF- this forum keeps putting my posts in the wrong spot….. I’d edit/delete my duplicates, but this forum won’t allow that.. uhgg

Very very strange that PD reveal brand new tracks {Cape ring south} at a small show like this. Why not at the tokyo game show last week? I mean this is a promo avent for a car, not a game.
“announcVery very strange that PD reveal brand new tracks {Cape ring south} at a small show like this.”
Not strange at all really. I was expecting it. (see my post above)..
We weren’t meant to see those tracks at all. A few of us actually asked if we could switch courses and that’s how we caught a glimpse. 95% of the people there just drove on High Speed Ring.
Why would they be in that demo if you weren’t supposed to see them?
We were not meant to see any other track period.
I was surprised that we did, I saw the copious amounts of tracks that were there.
They also had the TGS Demo on the other machines
@Steph290 “We weren’t meant to see those tracks at all. A few of us actually asked if we could switch courses and that’s how we caught a glimpse. 95% of the people there just drove on High Speed Ring.”
That’s my point. Who was not letting you choose those tracks? Was it SONY/PD who put them there on purpose for the world to see or was it some midde-management hack from Honda who made the “executive decision” to speed thing up?
I submit that you WERE “meant to see those tracks”- but some shmuck decided to “speed things up” and cause the entire world to mis out on this “news” that SONY/PD like accidentally-on-purpose show off in their clever little schemes.
It backfired today. They should have just put the tracks on the website and put out HD vids on youtube instead of getting all cute.
They’ll deny it now, after the fact. I bet 50 that we were ALL supposed to see a bunch of new and/or confirmed tracks today. I’m “typing” this on a PS3 w/ no keyboard, that’s why responses are taking so
…long
WTF this forum kept putting my post in the “reply to” spot, not a new post. I’m reposting it so it doesn’t get lost.
@Bennen13- “cape_ring_south”Does anybody else notice that the highlighted track is a track called Cape Ring South?”-I noticed about a half hour ago and mentioned it in my post, then ‘dchrisrar’ said the same thing then you did, LOL.. but yeah.. it’s there.
Too bad no vids of all these new tracks. And what corporate GOON “decided” for everyone to only let people run the high speed ring when all those new tracks were there? It was probably some midmanagement suckup trying to get brown-nose points for “taking the initiative” and making decisions above his/her paygrade..
WTF?!- why would they put all those tracks there and then try to control which one people chose?
WTF WTF WTF! Or is that not what happened? :-/ It sounded like that.
The way it was set up it was you wait online and they had the race already set up just press the gas to start then when your done they choose restart and repeat. They had it setup so it was user friendly to all and fast so they line would move quicker. Although they had 6 seats only used 3 of them why? who knows They were downloading the demo on some as well. I asked if I could change the track my second time going and they said ok just be fast cause of the line. I was trying to scroll through all of the tracks but the list was quite long on each of the tabs so after a bit of scrolling just settled on Autumn ring was hoping to find Spa but didn’t.
The guys there were having technical difficulties with their equipment all morning. I watched them unplug and switch consoles and wheels for a good 30 min before they decided to ride with what they had working. And since they only had 3-4 stations working at best, they wanted to keep the flow of people so we didn’t have time to venture around the menus. Remember, its a Honda Event, not a GT5 event.
OIC– see I Thought that some smaller “announcement” would happen after TGS because directly after all the big shows there have been substantial news about tracks/cars/features, etc.
This was probably an opportunity for PD to introduce us to some new tracks, but NOOOooo, somebody decided it was quicker to just make everyone use the same track just to save a few seconds for the people there. In reality they screwed the millions watching around the world out of getting to see actual new tracks and possibly confirm many more. What BS.
the furthest right icon in that list is 100% autumn ring.
That’s not Autumn ring. In the picture, it is named Cape Ring.
Look under Cape Ring.. In the track selection section, on the right there are three versions of Autumn Ring
Yep that’s definitely Autumn Ring. I hope Apricot Hill is in there – I love that track.
Yeah , I loveed racing with the RUF CTR YELLOW BIRD in Apricot hill in GT4 , Good time , Good times .
I love Apricot hill, but I prefer Red Rock Valley… I just remember racing with the Suzuki Escudo.. For a chance to win a TVR Speed 12… In Gran Turismo 2, of course.. But the thing is that we want all the Original Circuits we’ve seen in past GT games to appear in GT5!! As I said, I specially want Red Rock, and Midfield and Apricot as well. Those tracks plus the confirmed Trial Mountain and Autumn, are the most important Original Circuits I think!
Sweet! Autumn Ring is probably my favorite Original track in GT. Now if only we could get Midfield and Apricot Hill.
Does anybody else notice that the highlighted track is a track called Cape Ring South? Also, the three visible tracks to the left of Cape Ring South appear to be new tracks as well. I wouldn’t mind a New York track being in the game, just as long as it was a new layout. I’m sorry, but a bunch of slow 90 degree turns followed by a painful round-a-bout was just annoying.
You forgot Red Rock Valley!! Would be nice to see them all in HD!
+1 for Red Rock.
Give us Red Rock, but 5-10° more in the banked corners
looking at the image of track select screen youll see that autumn ring, autumn valley v1/2 have icons. the other 4 do not. dont recognise the layout of these…are these possibly new?
someone needs to try and check the other track tabs if possible.
you can see a small graphic in the background displaying the track cape ring east… and it is not autumn valley the two logos are different for a start.
“cape_ring_south” (It looks like Autumn Ring may be visible in this picture — compare with the actual track map here.)”
It says “cape_ring_south” in the second to last pic. Has autumn ring ever been called that? Hmmm….
I believe this image was taken after I quit autumn ring and was trying to put another track when the lady came over to say my drive was over so it was left on that track. Must be a new one created for GT5
Is “cape_ring_south” a new track?
Oh I replied and didn’t see your post (both posted at 5:46pm)
-so anyway… yeah I wonder how many more new tracks were on display?
@Bennen13- “cape_ring_south”Does anybody else notice that the highlighted track is a track called Cape Ring South?”
-I noticed about a half hour ago and mentioned it in my post, then ‘dchrisrar’ said the same thing then you did, LOL.. but yeah.. it’s there. To bad no vids of all these ne tracks.

Or is that not what happened? :-/ It sounded like that.
and plus, I honestly hate HSR. It’s so incredibly dull, worst original track they’ve made
Love the horn. Still no psn demo though :(
I believe the horn is coming from outside traffic. It’s New York after all.
looks to be a similar image to one used in gt psp for autumn valley.
pretty sure from right to left is autumn ring, autumn valley, autumn valley east.
Grand Valley?
LooooooooooooL Autumn valley ^^
LOL =D
I saw Grand Ring there XD.
The maps from Autumn Ring and Grand Valley are similar :)
Comparing the picture and the Autumn’s track map, I’m almost sure that it is Autumn Ring!! And what is the last track on the right?? Its like Motorland I think…
It is the little version of Autumn Ring, included since GT1.
Thats Autumn Ring Short isnt it?
Yep, I just realized…
could be under another tab… like city location possibly… sure id seen original, real circuit, city circuit and snow/ dirt.
also on each track it had a sun icon. to me it still suggests weather on most tracks.
No new york +1 put a real circuit in its place
Yeah, i’m ahppy it seems to not be there too – New York in any game has always been one of my least favourite circuits.
Its not THAT bad, but i agree more real circuits!!!
Glad to see the CR-Z gauges are properly colored (red for sport mode).
I just got back from the event. The build I played was not the latest one as their was no damage (I didn’t purposely crash but I did scrape the walls once or twice). There was definitely a delay with the steering wheel but everything else was solid.
@David (Wdave)
You did a great job, considering all the challenges.
I do have a video of Chris Hinojosa-Miranda switiching out a ps3 if you guys want to see. It also has the whole thing starting up.
Well, I’d prefer a video of Megan Fox switching out a PS3 ;-)
Are you really asking why I prefer seeing a PS3 switched out by Megan instead of Chris??
I did see some extra stuff on the High Speed Ring. Tents, billboards, fences and people platforms (i’m dutch, coudn’t find the word)
Grandstands?
Tribunes?
Bleachers
Chicken?
I just wanted to say that you did better than most of the drivers who post videos here. They usually drive a few corners poorly, spin out, then pretend they were testing the damage for the 400th time. You managed a one handed lap with a camera, so I say kudos.
“If I had more time I could have recorded this in 720p on my Captivate and uploaded it”
Why does this sound like a plug for your phone?
The guy with the glasses on the 2nd video looks a lot like Hinojosa Miranda, is him???
I would love to see gameplay of someone who can drive fast! AND AT LEAST KNOW HOW TO COUNTERSTEER!!!!
Dude, Try driving with force feedback, One hand, With 3d on, and recording a video at the same time. Then come back and talk to me.
HAHAHA good comeback Dave. PWNED!!!!!
Oh sorry, Dave
Wasn’t In the second video man, Im the one driving with one hand in the first
Yeah, i know that, but the way you drve in the first one made the drivers in the SECOND one look bad
Haha, Raven, you made those guys in the second video look BAD! lol
Wish I had someone there with me to record while scrolling through track listing. Hopefully someone can get this I had to leave unfortunately.
Well the demos are up till 6. Theres a possibility of 8 million people there, Someone other then me must have brung a damned camera.
Also Chris-Hinojosa-Miranda was there, I realized this after he disappeared.
Heh, I turned off android when i recorded this, so i have my full 5mp shots and all.
But N.E.R.D. Uggh not my type of music.
We need a list of all the tracks avaialbe stat. I am glad to hear that Autumn Ring is in there.
Is autumn ring confirmed?
I was there as well seems they had the game set to run HighSpeed ring then would restart the race for next player. I was able to change the track and was overwhelmed by the amount of choices it had. I ended up picking Autumn ring since I was being told to hurry up. Did not notice any new tracks alot of variations though. The track selection process starts out with the choices of World circuits, Created circuits, City circuits and then Snow/dirt circuits then the ability to choose from those types of circuits. Only the CR-Z was playable. Another thing I noticed was that there were many variations to Eiger mountain such as long short east west etc.. also variations to the Nordschleife with name I couldn’t read maybe in German? If anyone is going later just ask to change the track. Chris Hinojosa-Miranda was also there then disappeared somewhere. The CR-Z felt slow like the cappucino in prologue well maybe not that slow but you get the idea.
I saw that as well. There were a dizzying amount of tracks there in the demo. But they just made people choose high speed ring. >.<
@Indibisible I’m glad Autumn Ring is now in gt5. Plus I knew about Eiger’s multiple variations from seeing the layout in the Z4 in the rain gameplay.
I figured there would be a long Eiger, you can see the trail going off the side on the map in the rain video, but thats cool there will be east and west also. I wonder how that will be done? the map didnt look like it could be split into 2 different courses.
How many variations did you see of the Nordschleife? and were there variations of Autumn Ring?
Thanks for sharing this, Indibisible, I’ve updated the post above to note your comment. Let’s hope someone is able to grab it on video.
@ Mutimy well I am not sure of the amount of variations but there was various for the Nordschleife and the Gp circuit was also a seperate selection. I was referring to South East West etc… in General although the Eiger mountain did have several not sure which specifically.
There were a lot of track variations. I believe I also saw a short version of Tokyo. Since it was a Honda event, they wanted to promote the CR-Z as much as possible. Only one console was using the Mercedes SLS. It was either the CR-Z for a full two laps on HSR or the SLS for a two minute Tokyo R246 sprint.
Ewww, some of those in car shadows look poor.
Hoping this was an older build, lol.
the 2nd video, there is not one, not two, but three awful drivers. the middle one had better not drive like that in real life, feeding the steering wheel through and grinding the wall. how embarassing.
lol was that horn in the game or in real life?
LOL in video 2. Triple fail.
Sorry for being Mr.Blurrycam, It was kind of hard recording while driving.
And BoBo I know they were bad quality but thats all i can muster out of my HD2
Ohh Yea, Big difference. The car felt more..Alive is the only way to put it.
But there was also a noticeable delay between the screen and the wheel. They didn’t let me turn off assists nor switch it to professional for some reason.
Hey Dave, same here, HD2 user. My shots were limited to 3MB instead of 5MB since I am running Android on my HD2 and it’s currently limiting the camera a bit. :-) Still at least we have something to share. Silly me, forgot to bring a real camera. Doh!
Everyone please also note that the setups where running in 3D which makes for some additional blur. You can see it in the videos, most notable to me is on the spedo/tach & in the rear view mirror.
Heh, I turned off android when i recorded this, so i have my full 5mp shots and all.
But N.E.R.D. Uggh not my type of music.
Argentina here no luck…
Horn? (0:13)
i think outside?
It was outside. There was no volume on the setups.
The horn button does work on the DF-GT wheel though
Yeah, I have. This game’s looking better every day.
Aw no Times Square track? It’d be the perfect place for it!
My guess for the fact that no New York Track is:
This is principally an advertisement for the CR-Z, which is not a fast car by any mean, but the New York Track is rather a fast… which could make the car SEEM to go slow (for none car enthusiast/car connoisseur) … which would make people feel that the CR-Z is not such a good car after all…
As gamers, we would not mind discovering NY track in full HD beauty… but as potential car buyers, the game could turn off a lot of people, and turn them away from the CR-Z…
If NY track does exist, it would make sense that Honda would be the one deciding to remove NY track from the Demo build.
So instead of the fast New York track, they went for HIGH SPEED ring, you are a formidable mind.
@ lalaurentide.
I would say the difference is that at HSR, you are on full or near fill throttle for most of the race. Even slower cars will get close to v-max and the sensation of speed is upheld. on the NY track, there are quite alot of hard braking points which slow down all cars considerably (all things being relative). A a car like the CR-Z will take quite some time to get its speed back up highlighting its low performance (compared to other cars in GT). This, in turn, will make it feel slow, because you know that you could be covering this ground faster. This is less obvious at HSR, because you are traveling fast for pretty much the whole circuit.
im almost certain, hsr IS faster than ny. so it DOES make NO sense to include it instead of ny. still you are all a little overreacting.
the game will be great, i just need somebody to tell me nov 3rd in europe is confirmed. somebody at my local dealer told me that the game is not expected to arrive this year!?!?!
eh, not the best demo we’ve seen but hey..
No New York track? That’s a shame.
Yeah, seems like if New York was going to be included in GT5 it would have been used for this demo… we can still hope though!
not really, just following 90 degrees turns is boring.
