DodgyRog Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Was playing it in 3D, it was a full copy and had a quick go on a rally stage as well as the timed lap track. The graphics were very good and the response of the car was slightly arcade ish, but a very good balance, think it was a Merc of some sort, definitely rear wheel drive. Apparently it takes about 90 minutes to load it to hard drive if you want to play it that way and there will be an update immediately to be able to play it online. So after all this time they still didn't get it right out of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 What is it like in 3D mate? Never played a 3D game yet. To be totally honest, it's not that noticeable, I was concentrating on the racing line and not locking the brakes up. It's is definitely there, but not as big a difference as I expected. Might not help being in a shop environment I guess I will hold my judgement until I have one in my own home I think:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say it wont live upto the hype, the graphics are some of the best I have seen, but other than that it's Gran Turismo, which to be honest is fine with me, as I have played them all to completetion in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So after all this time they still didn't get it right out of the box Reason being for it not coming with some features out of the box is to prevent it working on jailbroken consoles (basically downloading the game off the internet and playing it for free). Got a link somewhere, will try and find it. Cant wait for my copy early next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Arcade'ish, oh dear.........maybe Im expecting all too much from the 3 years of hype, which is what could shoot Sony in the foot..... Still, someone had better buy it for me for Christmas otherwise there will be tantrums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant wait for my copy early next week That makes sense Arcade'ish, oh dear.........maybe Im expecting all too much from the 3 years of hype, which is what could shoot Sony in the foot..... Still, someone had better buy it for me for Christmas otherwise there will be tantrums I dont know what assists were set, so dont take my coments to heart. I was impressed enough with it, just dont expect a massive leap forward, it's a driving game, a very good one though. Put it this way, I would of payed for it, had I not won one FREE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to bother getting it anyway, just wondering how it compares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Have you played Forza 3? I know you only played 2 laps of GT5 but did it feel as good or better as that? I'm not going to bother getting it anyway, just wondering how it compares In comparison to Forza3, I would say I prefer the immediate feeling GT5, as said I think some of the assists were still there, so it's difficult to say, as I play Forza with no assists, as I will GT5 I did notice the crash detection didn't seem right, I had it on the view where you just have the clocks on the screen, like a bumper cam and I noticed I clipped a car when I thought I wouldn't and I used a car to aid my braking slightly and I made contact before the back of the carhit the screen, if you understand what I mean. It's a minor thing and something I am sure you wouldn't notice after playing for a while. I am sure the guy running it said a couple of people had managed to roll it, so that's a step forward for a GT game, although I sure I heard there was going to be crash damage, bit can only assume it was turned off, as I didn't see any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I heard there was going to be crash damage, bit can only assume it was turned off, as I didn't see any I vaguely remember someone somewhere saying that it's only in the rallying.
