The online racing simulator
Quote from Gills4life :It's amazing how beautiful it looked back then. I wonder if in another 4 or 5 years we will be saying how Gran Turismo 5 looks really dated. It makes me wonder how far away we are from having graphics that are uncanny with real life. Sometimes I look at iRacing or GT5 and have to double-take at how close to real life it looks, but you still know for the most part that it is just a game. I wonder how far away we are from not even knowing the difference.

I don't think it will ever get 'REAL' sure the models of the cars can look real, but generally textures and thinks never look real because they aren't as random as they need to be.
That is true. You never know though, in the future there might be a way of making textures varying to environmental conditions, that would be cool. Like you say, things are too clean and consistent to be realistic. You never know though, one day when technology takes another leap?
GT5 wireframe edition - I bet you could get 50+ cars each race with this

Quote from lukelfs :This one

Nope, don't remember that from GT4.

Was it in the regular mazda garage? Or was it in one of the specialist ones?

Not sure, think I won mine actually, think it might be in Mazda dealership too, not sure tho.

As a counterpoint, the more we get used to edgy cinematography and post production (... oh I dunno... like Top Gear... pop music videos...) the easier it is for games to approach looking "real".

Improved my Tuned Z time, and left a bit of time on the table as well, but I figured that was enough for today.Thought I had maxed out all my improvements... rally flicking the car into the turns helps a lot, even if it's not exactly realistic for a slicked car...

Now to work on my Normal Z time and get it under 1:50. Although flicking the car doesn't work too well here!

Getting within 2 seconds of the best is not bad for me

some nice photos



Yea, i saw them yesterday and could've post them, but what's the point, a quality picture of slim PS3 and a huge Bravia.. nothing on it we already haven't saw on GT5..
trees look good though

edit - GT5 will be at the motorshow in Brussels and the Tokyo Auto Salon this week, so we should see more new stuff
Pushed back for a simultaneous worldwide release perhaps
:ices_rofl

Seriously... By the time this thing comes out, it will be outdated....

Don't worry, they will just work on it more to get it updated........and a bit more........and a bit more.......and a bit more.......
The race is on: Will LFS get the Scirocco before GT5 is globally released? Place your bets and tune in on the next episode!

On a serious note, it's not really that surprising. I'm not sure were they ever really planning for a march release anyway. There would have been much more screenshots and ads in japanese media by now if they would have been serious about it. I'm guessing the march "release" date was simply a PR stunt.
Quote from danowat :NO, FFS NO, someone tell me this is wrong

By the time this game is released, all the cars in the game are going to be dated. Unless PD delayed it to include all the recently released cars.

Quote from Matrixi :The race is on: Will LFS get the Scirocco before GT5 is globally released? Place your bets and tune in on the next episode!

Loool! I will put my money on LFS. By that I mean the Scirocco + Tyre physics, not S3. S3 will be released when GT6 and Forza 10 is out.
Well ofcourse it's delayed when crazy f*cks have thought only couple of months ago to work on the damage, offcourse they are not satisfited with it curently so they are continuing the work on it.. Pretentious japanese, they thought "we don't need damage, we are Gran Turismo!2!1!"

Lol, GT5 goes to GT6 but Forza 3 goes to 10? rofl, I also put my money on LFS and I think that S3 will be out quicker than we think

Cant believe its delayed AGAIN, this games gonna take along time to come out lool

CoolColJ, that Wireframe render looks really cool, the cars interiors look way more detailed than the actual car lol
Forza will be in 3 figures by the time GT6 and S3 see the light of day.

Microsoft & Sony will have released a new console. The standard Xbox 45.6billion (they cant go 1, 2, cos doesnt sound superior to Sony's common-sense approach) version of which is just a cardboard retail box, you buy the contents additionally. DVD drive at £120, graphics card at £550, USB connections at £25 a peice for the controllers.

Sony will have played it safe, expanding upon the PS3s multi-purpose nature, the PS4 will have an alarm clock, food blender, microwave oven, shoe polisher, and power shower. It'll cost £5k, but the execs need to get into those markets and afterall, it only does everything.

5yrs later, just as the EU release of GT6 is on the horizon and S3 gets another meaningless update (accurately threaded wheel nuts, if you must know!) even though scawen hasnt realised nobody has played LFS for 18 months, Microsoft will announce they're going to retrospectively give customers the cables to connect all the overpriced junk they were forced to purchase, rather than continue selling something that they knew doesnt work when they had the idea 'i know, lets make a new XBox' back in 2007.

Due to the nature of the entry level xbox, designers will have to ensure every game can at least work on an etch-a-sketch, developers will be so lazy they wont even port games over to the PS4, they'll just get a marker pen and write PLAYSTATION FOOR GAME on the boxes.
i put my money on gt5 out before the scirocco.
Quote from chavm481 :i put my money on gt5 out before the scirocco.

How much? Also, can I have this money if you lose? I reckon the Scirocco will be out first.
Come on, it's obvious that the Scirocco will be out long before GT5 is out. The big question is this:

Will Scotland qualfiy for a major Football competition before GT5 comes out?
Shhhhhh mackie Gils and I want some money

Cracked 1:50 on the Normal Z and about time! It wasn't a good lap either. I have plenty in me on both cars, so I just might crack the top 100!
At least I beat Kaz on the Tuned Z, and not far off the normal one

sweet! LFA is in !!! One of the best engine noises ever
And Honda HSV-GT

Quote :We've heard rumors of a track editor. Any comment?

At this point, it's just a rumor. So you'll have to see. (It must be noted, he said so with a smile, leading us to believe that some sort of track editor is in the works for the new game.)


Quote :Will users be able to set up car clubs and racing leagues?

Yes, they will. But I'm sorry but I can't elaborate much at this point.

Quote :Are you headed to this weekend's Tokyo Auto Salon?

Yes, my team and I will be there. We're planning to have one of the biggest GT5 displays we've ever built. There will be more manufacturer agreements announced there as well. It'll be a great show for us.

This line really made me happy.. let's see what he meant by this..

Quote :But online functionality has to be at the top. We've worked so hard on it and we're hoping it's a hit.
