Dunno if anyone mentioned this...

I just noticed that the Eiger stage has been downgraded a bit...the rock wall inside the tunnel is no longer as glimmery as it used to be, and the texture itself has been downgraded/looks flatter. The rest of the track looks the same, I think.

it actually looks better... go back and compare.

Look at Trulli. Lighting in qualifying, but a few laps into the race and this phenomenon called the "Trulli train" starts to appear.

he is so fast that people with faster cars cant overtake him, even if he is in inferior car? :D

Remember that Japanese commercial with the father looking at GT5:prologue, well I had such an experience today at work. I was showing one of my co-workers this thread and all the screen shots, then one of the executives came by and looked over our shoulder. Those are some awesome cars he said. I told him that it was a game for the PS3. He screamed that's a PS3 game! I laughed so hard because it reminded me of the Japanese commercial.:lol :lol :lol

My managers always bitch about internet usage at my work and a shitload of sites are blocked there, including GAF.

Used to be like that way back in the day, nowadays when I go to a co-worker or one of the higher ups, they are sometimes playing internet flash games.

Coincidentally at my work today the head of IT was enabling some firewall blocks after getting some new network gear. He had a bunch of gaming/sports/actually fun sites specifically blocked and a few metatag filters at the director's request but we made enough Hitler jokes that he relented and just banned porn.

Dodged a bullet there. I'd be super-pissed if GAF got blocked at work.

From IRC just now:

<joshcryer> It's weird when you see a video of reality and question whether or not it's a video game.
<joshcryer> I refuse to believe that 29 seconds in is the video game.
<joshcryer> The problem is, 32 seconds in, that railing looks like, well, it's pologyonal.
<joshcryer> So my brain is having a hard time here. :)

Could someone help me out? There's no way that grass is in game. But. But. AHH.

I refuse to believe.

Up until 28 seconds it's all in game, from 29 - 45 secs it's all real
I think
.

The rest of the video is obviously real.

This may have been brought up many times...

Is there region protection on the disc? In other words, will the Japanese version work on US PS3?

Yes it will. No PS3 games are region locked.

Please don't kill my photobucket account GAF.
Thanks for the rehost man, but photobucket? I'm in the official thread of fappage looking for some car pr0n and I get owned by the "bandwidth exceeded lolollz!1!!" thumbnail. Tinypic ftw!!!

Great pics though everyone, keep them coming. :D

The F430 just doesn't sound all that great to begin with.
I have to disagree. f430's roar is of the very best motor noises you can find in a n/a car.
and ferrari does indeed pay very much attention to the sound of their cars.

Its not bad, I just don't really care for it. That Ascari they showed on the recent TG episode. Now that sounded nice.

I'm actually more fond of the sound of the Daihatsu Materia's engine. :lol

Well, I put in about 4 hours last night with GT5P and the new DS3. At first I couldn't figure out why there wasn't any rumble despite it being enabled both on the system itself and within GT5P, but then I figured out the dial on the pre-race menu was set to 0 automatically. I set it to 5 and now get nice rumble on most cars (the Cappuccino, though, hardly rumbles).

Initially bought the Integra and easily beat all the C-Class Sunday Cup races. Bought a lightweight car and beat that race, but then tragedy struck on the C-Class Suzuki Swift race! I know I suck at this game, but damn this race is kicking my ass. You have to beat 1:02 I think it is to get gold, but the most I can squeeze out of the thing is 1:05-something. Do you have to draft the faster cars that pass you from time to time in order to win, or is it possible just with sheer driving? I'm using the default pre-race settings, so maybe that has something to do with it.

F430 is glorious. 599 sounds better though. V12's always sound better than V8's!

Ferrari engines are glorious. Tifosi is a way of life.

However the best engine sound in the world by a country mile is an F1 V10 (not rev-limited) from 2004. 20,000rpm, 3.0litre, 1000bhp micro-engine, 90-110degree V-angle.

Symphony of refined violence.

With the Ferrari contract there is a possibility that Kaz will include one of the "fake"(in livery only) F1 cars from the past in GT5. All Ferrari single seaters up to 2006 will be available to him. I hope he picks the any from the F2002 to F2004. F2002 is the greatest F1 car of all time.

can you guys still remember gt 1? I was still just a little kid, but that's when I first fell in love with cars. I can't believe this game...it's insane. When the official game comes out...I'll be prepared to sink hours upon hours into it.

This thread has contributed to the hole being burned in my wallet right now. I wasn't planning on buying a PS3 for a while, but I think this game has pushed me over the edge into the "buy" category. I need a 1080p display, too. This is going to be an expensive holiday season.

re: the display... how far is your tv? if it is far away, getting small 1080p tv will be pointless, get bigger 720p for the price.
 
Dammit. Look what showed up unexpectedly today.

There goes finishing Folklore today or in the rest of 2007 :lol

Anyone else that ordered from YesAsia w/ Express Shipping should have there's soon. I ordered early enough for the game to ship last Thursday, and it still managed to arrive in Florida today.
 
ok, I sifted through as much of this thread as I could, but dang it's too big.

How do I switch to professional mode in the options? My Japanese is non-existant.

thanks!

i believe it is 2nd option in race settings... select 2nd one....

ah, thanks, turns out I had guessed correctly. Also, I notice that a lot of people are talking about being penalized for hitting other cars or cutting corners...is that also something you can toggle on and off in the options? That was happening for me at first but doesn't any more.
