Seems like hood to me. Also IIRC you couldn't race with roof cam. Only see it in replay.

PD listens.

You remember correctly. Before there were only three camera types for gameplay, chase, bumper and cockpit.

 

[Goldrusher]

Bumper, cockpit, roof & chase were the Prologue cams.

edit: Or not ? GT4 had a roof cam though, and GT PSP had bumper, cockpit, roof and chase.

 

[mclaren777]

GT5 definitely looks amazing but the utterly terrible chase cam is a 10-pound fly sitting in the ointment.

Fixed.

 

[offshore]

Holy fuck...I can't believe they're the same track.

 

[mclaren777]

Fixed.

Thanks, but I have yet to find a single person who prefers the rigidly attached camera over the old GT1-3 approach.

Me and obviously Yamauchi.

 

[Melfice7]

it certainly feels better with a wheel than a loose camera but who the hell uses chase cam with a wheel xD

oh and the new 'ring .. looks ok i guess :3

 

[mclaren777]

Well wonders never cease.

Do you know why you prefer the rigid camera? Are you an old school Ridge Racer fan or was GT4 your first GT game? I'm genuinely curious.

controller = chase cam
wheel = bumper or cockpit (in the full game, likely that new hood cam); it's unplayable in chase cam with a wheel

I prefer chasecam over putting a cardboard box with two holes in it mode aka cockpit.

I almost always choose a comparable car to the AI so the racing is often very tight, and I prefer the chase camera because it allows me to accurately see where the other cars are much easier.

Here's an old video I made with GT3 that illustrates my point...

Thats why you have the hood/bumper cam as well.

 

[InterMoniker]

I'm really feeling the new track map in the upper left hand corner. It looks way easier to see a left turn from a right turn compared to a map thats stationary and not rotating.

looks fine to me.

i can only see this being a problem with race cars, as they have a windscreen sticker. :\

 

[TheThunder]

I still think chasecam provides the best view possible. It may lack in sense of speed but makes up for it in knowing where the hell your car is.

I play on a controller however so that's just me.

It not realistic at all in terms of FOV and you get better view with the chasecam.

Don't get me wrong I play with the cockpit view every once in a while but when I need to actually post a good time or play online I always go to chasecam. It's all matter of preference anyway.

I find it impossible to corner using the chase cam.

Cockpit view or first person view - makes no difference to me. Cockpit looks nicer so I stick with that. It only is a problem with race cars.

 

[Yoboman]

I wish the cockpit allowed you to zoom in as well as look around. Which would consequently blur/DoF out the details of the cockpit

I love being in the cockpit but I do feel it blocks a bit sometimes

 

[Goldrusher]

You can look left and right. Analog as well. And the game will likely support the PlayStation Eye and register head movements and turn the camera accordingly.

Maybe you know, but that was in the Time Trial demo already and you could even personalize it. Various combos of stationary or rotating and zoomed in or full map.

I know, I meant I'd like a zoom feature to get closer to the screen, seeing as we already have similar features.

 

[CozMick]

The FOV is pretty accurate when imitating a drivers view when wearing a helmet.

Well at least that's what it's like when on a bike.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

I can't tell if it's the horrible shutter speed on that off-screen camera, or if PD have added motion blur.

Yeah, but you can turn your head in a helmet. I think the cockpit view looks great, but I can't use it for setting lap times. Bumper cam for me unless they add a hood cam.

Don't bet on motion blur at 60 fps.

No motion blur during gameplay. Replay might have it.

thank god for that blur on a racing game is awful imo

 

[Goldrusher]

Nürburgring 24h update

Yamauchi finished 4th in his class. (out of 8 finishers and 12 participants)
59th total (out of 123 finishers and I think 198 participants)

 

[Lagspike_exe]

At 60 FPS, it's incredible. Gives the image a very CGI-like look. Although it's very unlikely they can achieve object based motion blur at 60 FPS with PS3 hardware.

Well it's likely Sony have some real tech gurus with motion blur if PD interact at all with the Western teams for technology

I don't think there's any possibility for them to get motion blur going during gameplay. Just mentioning it here will instill wishful thinking in many. :lol

 

[jett]

Don't worry guys, you'll get your in-game motion blur...if you play on a LCD.

I never thought I'd see motion blur in a game of GoW3's quality this gen, but there it is.

I'm not expecting it though, it is wishful thinking

 

[lowrider007]

Hood-Cam conformation has made my day, I can never judge coming into a corner very well in bumper view as your too low to the ground.

60fps is so smooth that the common mortal can't really see a different with higher framerate. Adding blur would be a waste of time and you wouldn't notice much a difference. It really is useless.
60fps is enough all the way and for anything with a framerate.

Hell no motion blur looks great at 60fps. When GOW3 is running at 60fps it looks absolutely spectacular.

e3 is only one month away, feels like ive been waiting for years....

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

A better example would be Crysis, as that can run at a near constant 60fps on top cards.

You're wrong.

 

[TheThunder]

Tekken 6 has also motion blur + 60fps but I can't tell the difference tbh.

What magic cards are these?, I'm amusing you mean dual gpu cards? and even then these cards struggle to maintain that kind of frame-rate throughout the whole game on enthusiast settings @ 1920x1200 4xaa.

You can still have nice motion blur on high, though.

A 5870 would do fine. GT5 only runs at 1280x1080 w/ 2xAA anyway.

They've added temporal SS as well.

May as well be a blur filter imo. I turned that crap off in the time trial demo.

Wow, pretty skilled driver... A mistake in the end but overall very agressive and entertaining. Great lap!

Wow that looks awesome.

Is it just me, or have they completely removed tyre screeching? (atleast for slick shod race cars)
