GT5 E3 trailer

My Mazda AZ-1

Tuned up a bit, added the aero parts, there are 2 choices. Painted it silver, and painted the wheels with a yellow colour, thought it would be a flat looking paint, but it turned out looking like the glossy Subaru gold wheels

The Good

The premium cars are gorgeous
Online play with up to 16 players
Dynamic weather, day-into-night racing
The Nurburgring Nordschleife is great


The Bad

800 cars just copied over from previous games
Clunky interface
Collisions still aren't right
AI still not good enough
In a game that's about cars, making the majority of them lower-quality models without interiors is ridiculous
The shadows look terrible

The Ugly

The way damage is rendered on standard cars
Getting knocked out of the Top Gear challenge for the seventh time
You'll often ask yourself what the hell they've been doing for six years

Verdict: Rent

[dougal2]

I feared that might be the case. A few sexy shots and a gimmick camera mode a game does not make.

[CoolColJ]

Some videos I made, game is addictive, if your into cars. Pure car porn
Best experienced with a wheel, the physics feel life like. Honestly if you have a PS3 , and are into cars, it's a no brainer

From a solo run I did tonight online in my lounge with Jegato spectating
LFA on Nurburgring with changing time/weather. Did it as a race, saved the replay which allowed me to photo mode it

[fused]

The lighting engine on Nurburgring is very impressive considering it's dynamic, and you can change the rate of time change. The atmosphere conditions change as well, clouds move, it gets foggy, rainy, sunny etc

[CoolColJ]

Here, I made a video of the LFA replay and photos
Excuse my driving, I was just testing out the dynamic time and weather system

The angry angel sings at the Ring! Dynamic lighting and atmosphere looks so realistic
I find it rather meditative, just watching and hearing it go around

Excuse my driving, I was just testing out the dynamic time and weather system

I feel for the virtual guy who has to look after the lawn next to the track

In other news, I just started playing GT5 today and I love it!

[CoolColJ]

Here is a video I did of the Mclaren F1 - cost me a cool 1 Million credits, and it's quite hard to drive on the stock tyres

Adding the wings helped, and grippier tyres

hot damn!

edit: i like the part where you crash it into a wall and the audience gives you applause

In other news, I just started playing GT5 today and I love it!

I feel we may have lost Fused for a little while

[CoolColJ]

One thing GT5 needs is some non-linear tone mapping like Reinhart...

The sky is always burn out and you can't see the shadowed areas very well inside the car

Merry Jazzy Christmas from Gran Turismo 5
