Agree with what you say Klutch, Aslong as I get to use my G25 I don't care if there's an interior or not, considering these 800+ cars are just upscales from GT4 and GTPSP.. I'm happy playing with either bumper cam or bonnet/roof cam

As you said I also find ingame wheels distracting as they only rotate like 90°

Also all you moaning about no interior, were you fine playing GT4??

E- New video

There are loads of people working on the game, I doubt any of the modelers would find it hard to make that stuff anyway, and like tristancliffe said, its obviously mostly made up of 'Real life' looking textures

Yeah the lambo hub looks messed up, the bottom looks like it sorter sinks in, but the top looks flush

Some of the GTPSP interiors do have the dashboard showing, just no gauges

I dont really mind if they dont have them anyway, I prefer using the bumper cam with gauges or bonnet/roof view, when using a wheel that is

As long as I can tune cars better than in GT4 I'm happy

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :Well that's gonna really suck if it turns out to be true.

Can anyone explain to me WTF is going on with the front wheels on the TVR??

Whats wrong with them?

I hope all cars atleast have a minimal interior view, like on GT PSP but with some textures and gauges ?

Quote from Matrixi :Now, you do know those are just from pre-rendered clips?

Yes ofc, but they are still using the same models etc as the real game, almost every video clip for most games are all pre-rendered anyway

So it seems there is no real release for Europe yet, Gran Turismo 5 is due out for PS3 on 2nd November in the US and just plain "November" in Europe.

I really hope it comes out this time

Whats the fun of playing a game like GT where you just earn money for free? I thought that was the whole enjoyment of driving in a crappy old car that you bought used and slowly tuning it up

Even if its the release date for North America, if its signifigently different to UK then I'll just import it from there

E- It seems quite poor if only 200 cars have full interiors, anyone know if every car will have an interior view, maybe such as the GT PSP one where its just black with gauges??

You change gear by moving ur 'left'? Hand forwards, I saw it on the old Natal videos, some guy moving his arm forwards and backwards

It's gotta be pretty limited tbh, I think its aimed at children.. like in Forza 3 where it auto brakes etc. So I'm thinking all you have to do is steer lool

Quote from DevilDare :I dont see why not. Ok, maybe not "Kinect energy" but something like that. I doubt we will see a "4" in the new title.

Its probably going to be an interactive "fun" game. Surely they cannot continue down the simulation road if you will have to imagine a wheel.

It would be very stupid from them. Like I said many times before, Kinect is not something that will appeal to hardcore gamers.

Also, coming 2011. Unless its coming out on December 31st 2011, I dont see how they can make a whole new game in a year. They are still working on F3 dont forget! Realeasing new cars etc.

Unless ofcourse its just F3 with some minor improvements and Kinect addition. In which case, it will be a massive disappointment and nothing to be worked up about.

So yeah. No Forza 4 for me until Turn 10 say it themselves.

Well its not hard for Turn 10, all they did with Forza 3 was literally rip the cars from 2 and add interiors, add a newer game engine etc...

I'd presume they would do the same with Forza 4 (What ever you want to call it), they aren't still 'Working' on Forza 3, there are hundreds of people working on the game anyway, so they could easily get Forza 4 out soon imo

If its the next Forza than I'm pretty sure you dont have to use all that Kinect BS anyway

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :No worries. Nothing to apologise about.
You may still be right and it may be hinting towards a three, but I really don't know.

Like I said above, I'm only calling it Forza 4 because that's what the Journos are saying, and while they do like to speculate, they have all most likely had presentations with this game and they may have been told it's going to be called FM4. Who knows?

Imagine if they call it Forza Motorsport: Kinetic Energy. :o

Yeah ok

Rofl, I'm thinking it may just be, Forza Motorsports, no 4, nothing else

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :I was referring to you saying it's "just a new mode". You couldn't of been more wrong.

And there is no proof whether it will or will not be called Forza Motorsport 4, but seeing as Gaming Journalists all over are calling it this, then for now, that is what this thread shall be titled as until the name is confirmed.

E: Maybe Luke. Personally, I always thought it was the (for want of a better word) downward "strikes" on an M/m.

Yeah I guess it is , my bad, but for sure it has to be Forza 4, I dont get why it wouldn't be , Forza 3 has had its time now haha

E- The Forza Motorsport franchise continues to broaden its audience by combining beautiful HD graphics running at 60 frames per second and authentic realism with easy-to-pickup gameplay and universal car passion.

Thats what I'm thinking, although it will defiently be Forza Motorsport's 4, that whole Kinect thing is pretty lame anyway, PS3 Move looks alot better

I dont understand the Forza 3 logo in the bottom of the stuff too?

Quote from oli17 :yeah, but once you're "in" the game i don't really notice it, i bought an extra fan for my ps3 (rumours of overheating issues), and even with that i don't really notice it unless i actually think about it. should be fine, especially if i turn up the volume

imho your paying £209.99 for old tech, the new slim is only £199 and you can pick up forza 3 pretty cheap now.. it also has the port for Kinect ( Was Natal?? )

I think it comes with 1 year warranty, it will most likely RROD after that year anyway, like most electronics , then it costs something like £60-100??

Also your asking us if you should cancel your order except you seem to be so content on getting the 'Super Elite'

If I were you Oli, I would defiantly cancel the order and get the slim, I agree with everything Dan says

You'd be better of with something that has 0.1% chance of Rrod'n on you

Take a look here for why you should buy it

Quote from aoun :After mostly ease and speed. I dont need no fancy plugins etc or cool stuff, just a fast browser that doesnt have many bugs and something with ease that remembers passwords etc best.

Well then get Google Chrome, you don't have to install any plugins etc, just the basic browser which does what you want

Quote from aoun :As there are alot of intelligent people here reguarding computers and the internet, i pretty much have a straight forward question.

Whats the best browser to use, or what browser do you tend to use?

I fixed up my computer and just using IE at the moment but it gives me the shits.

Im not sure whats good about what broswer, which is why im here.

Opera
Firefox
Chrome
Internet Explorer

Whats the best guys?

Chrome is defiantly the fastest out of the lot, then I think its Opera, then Firefox, then IE..

I personally use Chrome as it has a simple design, it also has extensions like Firefox's addons

But anyway, just use the one u feel comfortable with tbh, a second or so of web page loading doesnt really matter? does it?

Quote from brandons48 :How many racers can you have in an online session? (Free Roam)

Well on the video on that straight road with all the supercars, there are only 8 visible, so I doubt it will be any higher than that tbh

Quote from Mustangman759 :i kinda wonder the same thing
i think he means something like in maxiim's pic how the rear tyres spin
found here
http://www.lfsforum.net/attach ... d=105978&d=1276168409

I thought he was talking about the tire tread not the rim?

Confused here

The angled rear tire is easy to do, someone made a guide a while back

Quote from macsy :A bit more presicely, please I once tried multiplying the tread a couple of times, lowering opacity and moving it a bit, but I don't know if that's the best way..


That just makes a 'regular' blur, I want to know how to make it look like the wheel is spinning. The motion blur works when the tread faces you directly, but not when the wheel is at an angle.

If you can give me a example image without the blur I can try and see what you mean? Thanks

Some nice edits so far, I chose the Idea so people have freedom to edit what they want,

@Sarker, Would have been a much better pic if u didnt just copy the trail lights from that external image, its still a nice edit though

@maxiim, I love the focus on the car, nice skin too , not too keen on the sparks at the back though

@hazaky, Nice simple edit, I would prefer it with stronger colours though
