"Welcome to the 2011 Formula One Korean GP. As you notice, cars now rely 100% on mechanical grip as aero-dynamical grip has been banned. Yes folks, this is the latest technology in Formula One."

How bout IPR?

Indie Project Racing? heh.....

Im highly looking forward to this game, I cant wait to buy it. However, i never realised how over the top some people get.. Its just a game, nothing more. (and yes, i can be quite a GT fanboy, i love it) but sheshhhhhh!!!

Quote from Klutch :

I love that australia is viewed as a mulicultural country when its not.
We're a very racist bunch lol

Haha, true, but i still think we are a vey multicultural country, well im not sure about Perth, but Sydney..... dont get me started!

Happens to me minimum 3 times a week due to being a certain nationality living in a certain nation. Not going to mention anything out loud.

In my opinion, i think abit of 1 and 3.

Ill stand my ground and keep my pride til im barely breathing. I refuse to let someone take my pride away from me or look down on me. If it involves defending myself physically, it honestly does not bother me.

At the same time, if I've done something wrong, ill apologize, yet at the same time, keep my pride.

I don't see no point in acting surprised and clueless. Its up to you to be well aware of what's going on and being able to read between the lines, and act fast to avoid a fight; and to keep yourself from being beaten up for a stupid reason. I think its best in life to be physically strong (not saying macho man or tough, but strong to hold your own two feet), and at the same time, mentally strong (keeping cool under hot situations and not just going spastic like a fool.)

I'm a security guard in the heart of Sydney city, my job has forced my mentality to hold my own and not to get stepped on, yet at the same time, communicating with an aggravated/drunk someone to avoid a fight.

Eh, next one is at Bondi, not going to bother. Ill wait patiently.

Quote from CoolColJ :

Just got back from Westfields, Chatswoood.

It took forever to find, but it's on level 4 next to the info desk. I was expecting a massive display, but it's only a small TV booth unit with a 46 inch TV + Blu Ray player, and a PS3 hooked up to another TV with DS3 running GT5 in 3D

Anyway - as far as 3D goes, good for some TV/Film, crappy for games. So not worth getting a 3D TV for it IMO.
Some of the Blue Ray footage look great, but it feels like a those pop up books, you can see and feel the depth between objects, but the objects still look flat, like cardboard cutouts. Kinda like parallax scrolling.
The Blu Ray footage of Motor Storm had a good feel of depth, but was pretty flickery.

GT5 in 3D looks quite blurry, and the 3D effect is non-existent to me compared to Motor storm and the other Blu Ray footage....
But it definitely runs at 60fps

Now onto GT5 game play/physics -

I can't get a good feel with the DS3, feels empty, it doesn't even vibrate, will have to wait till I try it with a DFGT wheel, but it's way different to Prologue, and different again to the Time Trial with a pad.

It feels more connected to the road than in Prologue, where you felt more like on skates. While it doesn't feel as twitchy as the Time Trial.
In the Time Trial, you had to use super smooth steering and throttle on the pad, but here it feels more smoothed out and easier to handle. I don't think it does 1:1 steering to wheel movement anymore like it was in the Time Trial. There is probbaly some speed sensitive steering limiting now.
The tyre model is different too, it's much more progressive, but can still snap if your not careful or over correct

I had 3 goes, all in Pro mode, Pro Physics, no traction control, everything off etc. TV was pretty loud so I could hear the sounds clearly.

1) Motul Autech GT-R on the Tokyo track, R1 tyres. Had a pretty big over steer moment on turn 1, but after that I managed to get around the track ok. It felt pretty planted with all the down force and grip. AI blew me away off course

2) Time Trial - Nascar on the Madrid track with R1. This thing is hard to control, It doesn't like to turn, and the smallest wiff of the throttle smokes up the rear tyres! Pretty loud transmission whine, so this is probably the E3 build
The low revs off idle on this is really loud and rumbley. It takes ages for the car to get moving (or stop) if you lose control and have to start up again from a dead stop

3) AMG SLS on Rome - with Traction control on 1, on S3 tyres. It's quite progressive on these tyres. You can drift it quite predictably with practise.

Graphics wise, in 3D it looks like Prologue I guess. When I switched to outside view and slide sideways the smoke looked excellent, really dense.
Pro physics is no fun on a pad, relatively speaking but easier to handle than in the Time Trial with a pad. I don't think you'd be competitive with a pad in pro physics against a wheel user anymore.

Is chatswood the only GT5 around? Or is it other westfields too? (Im in strathfield)

Like klutch said, thats queen streets car, from Sydney. You see Queen street here all the time and I know people apart of them. Very rich group, I see their road cars including an F430 all the time driving.

Majority of their cars are either show cars, or drag cars. I dont think this will be around for too long. The other competition in Sydney is tough, especially when they arnt focusing on gold and bling.

Retards! Theres not even 200 hours in a week.

Quote from jibber :

There we go again with the insults. I'll just leave you two here, maybe the third of the three stooges will come along and join your little tea party.

Could that be me? Because your a pretty cocky guy, I think you need to settle down, learn a thing or two, and think about what your saying here. Just advice mate, don't take it to heart.


Anyways, thanks to "qualified" mechanics, I have my sisters Mazda 3 2005 model that needs an engine rebuild or a completely new engine, thanks to a mechanic that works at Mazda, you know... the professionals..? While I have me and my mates cars in unreal condition thanks to "qualified" mechanics keeping away from it and working on them myself and a good mate of mine. Yes, im talking about an old Ute that runs better than an 2010 ute hands down, im talking about a 700hp bluebird drag car, oh and an r32 gtr race car currently being finished, cars, kept well away from these so called.. qualified mechanics.

wheres the tea klutch?

If you think that's bad, some people used to pronounce aoun ('tis me last name) as anon when there is clearly no 'n' at the start. If it helps, its pronounced the same as 'owen' in english, so use whatever .

HI RES VERSION

Gee I kinda feel sorry for the guy who spent a good 45minutes wasting his life writing that.

Eventually im looking for a small team of say, 4-5 (2 coders, 2 designers) when customers start rolling in abit more. I think if anyone is interested in working in a team it would be great fun, a challenge, and ofcourse, some money on the side.

Money does make the world go around!

I think that's a pretty good idea. Gives people a second chance or another shot at doing something similar, though at the same time, may get too repetitive.

At the same time there's been 70+ competitions. I suppose it could start to get old.
Maybe more recognition for the winner?
Maybe Win Tally's at end of a season (say, 10 comps a season) gets a prize..?
I've always thought about having forum achievements to unlock etc to get the community closer, perhaps if we had that, theres a bunch right there. So i suppose the options we have on this fourm (no custom titles etc) limits us.

"We are Red Bull, we are in a unique position again this year and we are horny - can you say that in English or does it not make too much sense? "

Sebastian Vettel gets a little bit too excited about his title chances


Ive lost interest to know now what goes on in that Red Bull garage......

woops

End of the day, the name LOTUS is in there. I find it hilarious with whats going on, its really stupid and is killing the LOTUS name. Team Lotus, Lotus Racing, Lotus Group. Same shit, different smell.

Ive already spoken with someone how PM'd me.

If not all goes well or i have other things that involve abit of extra $$ ill be sure to let you know .

Quote from DevilDare :

Indeed, that Virgin did not need to be there. How did they even end up between the leaders....

Well, we wanted racing on track... We got it....

I suppose so, and yes, its clearly benifiting our driver, but i feel that the backmarker set up that incident. I would have seen Lewis pass Mark than see that.

FFS, bloody stupid.. Lucky for our guy, but bloody hell that did not need to happen. Lewis should still be in the race pushing with Webber. Personally I blame the virgin. Ironic the name...
