weather is important dude this is racing
It's very important but it's not done well enough in GT5. Half of the detriments of weather occur in aspects other than physics. Blinding spray from the car in front of you, the strength of the sun reflected off a wet surface, fog and thick rain lowering visibility. GT5 only really does the surface physics and pretty much ends it at that. pCARS is in alpha and the visual aspects of its weather are leaps and bounds ahead of GT and what PD should be aiming for.

People will probably disagree. But I'd like PD to drop 1080p mode and concentrate on making a rock solid 720p, with no tearing or frame-dropping (Also ditch 3D)
GT5 has problems with the rain/weather but come on it does a pretty good job in recreating the lack of visibility due to spray from ahead.

I don't think that there is any set time for usual updates. But if they're going to tease GT6 then i'd expect it to be around noon. That's usually when companies announce or release info for games that they tease.
Unfortunately wiper tear cannot be unseen. It doesn't bother me though as I use bumper cam.

Yes (although just an in game toggle to default to 720p would be fine with me)
No!! I really enjoy 3D in the cockpit, driving around Nurb in the rain with wheel/pedals and 3D is one heck of an experience.
Agreed, but perhaps keep the full 1080p output (native resolution HUD), but switch the upscaled buffer from 1280x1080 to 720p. It'd keep the in-game UI native resolution too, best of both worlds?
Wasn't that coming from a guy in this thread?
Or was it the other one?
Anyway, so we are expecting the reveal to happen on Sony's website?
I would've loved to actually see it announced at an event of some sort.
Off topic, but has there been any NFS news lately?
It's pretty quiet on that front..
Why would there be any PS4 footage or images?
Depends who you are.
I would have said not a chance, except (see my conspiracy theory earlier in the thread) the timing of it seems to be a spoiler for the Durango, and awesome as a PS3 GT6 would be on its own terms, I don't think they would bother trying to match it up to PGR5/FM5 if they didn't have something PS4 related.

why next week ?
A few reasons, it gives them time to make sure the website is working properly, it's much closer to the Xbox conference and, well, because Amar said so.
EDIT: Hmm, looking back at what he said, it's conceivable that he could have been including the week we were in at the time, so three weeks would indeed be this week. We'll see soon enough I guess

I guess they're saving the announcement for Friday, announcement trailer featuring all the 2013 F1 cars to coincide with the start of the European leg of the F1 season.
LOL!

Could you just imagine a PD Formula 1 game on the PS4

I would say that I'm disappointed at the no-news. But I've been a GT fan long enough to become desensitised to disappointment.

Kazunori wanted to do it as I do recall.
So are we taking bets on having SRF mandated in GT6?
At this point it wouldn't surprise me.
Oh man, after all the GT6 hype, I got a bump back to earth last night. My Academy Edition arrived so I excitedly entered the DLC code, waited for the various keys to download and activate, then I had to boot up GT5 and go to the DLC menu and install them all again, THEN I discovered I had nearly 30 cars waiting in the car exchange from the DLC. Took about 20 minutes of mindless button mashing to transfer them all to my garage...
Anyway, got it done and took my old copy of GT5 round to my friend's along with my old Driving Force Pro wheel for him to have a go (he recently got a PS3). Took about an hour to download and install all the patches (even using the Academy disc) and when we finally got it going I found myself automatically explaining all the retarded design decisions. At one point I actually said, "I do like this game, honestly."
Here's hoping GT6 can sort all this nonsense out.

What?
Click on car exchange
Click on car ticket
Confirm you want to use car ticket
Wait for car and music to load
Watch animation of car coming out of darkness
Click to confirm the message that you now have the car in your garage
Click to confirm the message that you have a new paint chip
Click to exit out of screen

I may have got the order of some of those wrong but it all adds up.

Erm, wasn't there an option added to redeem all at once?
It says Receive all tickets in the delivery window. You still have to wait while the game builds thumbnails for all cars.
Thanks, I shall of course be trapping my hands in a door when I get home for being so stupid... how did I miss that update?
You haven't miss it. It was already included on your Academy version disc.

They really need an option where you can buy cars as quickly as that.

So i was playing online last night and this was after some new experiences in PC sims over the last weekend.
I see how people can acuse GT5 of having dumbed down physics. Tuning and racing slicks ruin everything.
Don´t get me wrong, i love both, but it completely turns those "street car 600pp nurb" races into a joke, because there´s nothing realistic about a souped up 458 Italia with racing tires.
That´s something they have to change, because unrealistic tuning kills their entire work into building a realitic simulator.

Yeah, I've come to appreciate stock tyres plus stock tuning more and more after amar insisted we use it when we raced together after the spec ii launch.

Is it tire physics that are unrealistic, or that nobody would realistically put a $2000 set of racing slicks on a 400hp car? We used to allow racing softs for our ~500pp NRL league until Amar set us straight, maybe they should just limit the racing tires to the racing cars.
couldn't just leave it at the thrift store, 5 dollars well spent
Indeed, and you can now race midfield, apricot, seattle, etc. All the tracks that should be in gt5.
Who knows how SCEA got away with atrocities like this. The GT logo looks like a ransom note, not to mention the radioactive Greatest Hits band.couldn't just leave it at the thrift store, 5 dollars well spent

Wow, I didn't know GTHD's Eiger was like that. I kinda prefer it to the final version, wish we had both in the game.
