Images PS3

The end of October is getting close and with it, the release of Gran Turismo 5's main competitor. Hence this new batch of images, which undoubtedly show that Polyphony and Sony are also preparing a hell of a good game. Given how great the game looks, it should be worth the wait.

I guess even the king of racers is prone to the odd floating car.
Car models are nice, but theres so much blur / DOF that any of the track detail is lost. Also, there seems to be some funny shadowing issues going on, some cars have no shadows at all, or the ride height is a bit funny like in the last shot.

At least with the car models its pretty much what you see is what you get (i hope).

100% bullshots.

100% Photomode.

Which is the same bull Forza 3 (and every other racing game these days) use.

yawza, looks incredible. bullshots, but the car models and lighting are rediculously good. dont normally buy games purely for the graphic, but for this i may make an exception

*checks shots...* "Yep. Still gorgeous. Still won't look that good in game- still won't care.

I'm a Forza man myself- but I'll be picking up GT5 when hell freezes over (the offical release date).

If they put in a 'Ghost Stig' on the Top Gear track, I swear I will cry like a baby.

Bullshots or not, I think by now everybody knows that in-game the graphics are still the best out there. Nothing comes close.

Unlike most racing games, GT is aware that not all roads are perfectly flat surfaces. The straight for Route 246 has a few bumps, I suspect the Merc in that shot just went over one. Notice how all the other wheels of the car are flat on the ground? It's a small detail a lot of other racing games forget about.

Wrong, go play Shift on a PC, looks crazy at 1080p and 60fps, beats any racing game easily.

Funy, I wasnt convinced by Forza 3's bullshots either.

Looks great, but lets see some fuching gameplay. At least Forza 3 had the smarts to realize they couldn't market yet another racing sim with a bunch of bullshots alone. They showed off the features and gameplay of the game. I want more of that and less of this. The game looks greta, but I want more substantial content, thank you. A racing game shouldn't be about graphics.

Racing games--or any games--should be about everything, that is what makes a game special.

These shots looked pretty bad ass, and again, the special thing about them is that they are nowhere near the same bullshot dose that we from Turn 10 and Forza 3.

I've played Forza 3 and trust me, even the replays don't look as good as the bullshots we've been seeing.

Not saying that they don't look totally awesome, but still look like a game. GT5 replays look like real-life.

Well the difference between GT and other racing games is that other are also good and artistic but GT is just photo-realistic racing game lol :D

I also believe some prefer forza over GT because GT is much harder to play and is not easy, fun as it requires more practice. It is more sim than Forza

As long as they don't add some game breaking shit like rewind mode I'm confident GT5 will be perfect. I'm even looking forward to the license tests

Looks fantastic, but your comment is just wrong, IMO- Being harder doesn't mean it's more realistic. It just means that maybe the feedback is wrong. I was always pissed at how easy it is to spin out in GT. If I got in one of these cars myself, I highly doubt that would be the case. This is because you can feel the road, the weight shifts, the grip, etc, so you can adjust and keep the car under control. I very much doubt that GT's phsyics will be better than Forza's( one of the reasons F3 doesn't look as immaculate as this). With these games it comes down to preference, but it always makes me laugh when the SDF calls Forza an arcade racer( not talking about you, abc gamer)...

Wow, tons of ignorant fucking comments in another racing thread. What a shock...

"the king is back", "rewind is a deal breaker", "more sim than forza", this is one silly ass thread, but so are all of them I guess.

GT5 is gonna look spectacular, but until they prove the physics are FAR better than GTP, saying the comments above shows little understanding of what REALLY makes a racing sim good, and that's whats going on UNDER the hood, not the glossy paint on the pretty chick car...

That being said, I think GT5 will be every bit as good as Forza 3, and probably better, but to act like it's a sure thing is just stupid.

I think GT5's got a bunch of things going for it that might match FM3 overall, but we've yet to see it. Was dynamic time of day and weather ever confirmed? No, and this is a big one, a huge upper hand on FM3. What about livery editor, and overall customization. Forza's got this area well WELL above any other racing game.

Tracks. Forza's got some of the best out there, and the two huge point to point tracks are simply classics now. Universal damage too. I think it's way too early for even comments such as "GT5 will be every bit as good as Forza 3".

I think it's fair to say GT5 will be a great game though. I think that is fair to assume, but anything else carries too much assumption based on promises, and we know how that works in the videogames industry.
