Thorburn Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Seen some recent screenshots and wasn't impressed, even less impressed by the 'buy the game then buy the cars' distribution idea. Will check out the video once its downloaded. The fun thing about all this talk about high-def gaming is I've been playing PC games at above 720p and my current PC can run pretty much anything at 1080p at higher frame rates than a PS3 will manage anyway. If you really want to be impressed check out the IDF demo of Alan Wake running on a Core 2 Quad and NVIDIA GeForce 7900GTX, the scale and lighting is simply incredible. It'll run on XBox 360, but at a lower resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I see higher resolution textures and higher polygon model but the actual scenery detail is pretty low considering the supposed power of the PS3. The Nurburgring still has a flat tree line, yet wasn't GT4 supposed to have fractal generated trees, only for that idea to vanish and it certainly hasn't resurfaced a generation later! Infact from the videos it barely even matches the PS2 rally stages on a detail level. GT4 convinced me to buy a PS2. PGR3 convinced me to pay £300 for an XBox 360. I can't see GT HD making me want a PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riz Posted September 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 GT HD wont really be anything as the next GT game.. GT5 is on its way also.... I would class GT HD as the Prolouge version..... will have online play etc. Riz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Yep but Prologue acted as a technical demo for what could be achieved with GT4, and its looked damn good. In those videos GT HD barely compares with PC games that I've been running for the last year or two, and the GT4 (or the GT1, 2, 3) physics engine doesn't impress in pure simulation terms. As a balance of arcade and simulation it is reasonable but you can tell its faked to provide an idiot friendly balance while still feeling kind of real. You can't even do donuts in it, and I can prove that a real life MX-5 1.8i can but the GT4 simulation can't! It simply looks like a higher resolution version of GT4, and that just isn't enough in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I saw an article that stated that had the PS3 been around in 1998 it would have been rated as the most powerful super-computer on the planet. Now that might have been an overstatement but the demo recordings I've seen are mighty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Not see the demo but but GT will have to be fantastic to get me to buy it at the moment. I've got plenty of games to play on the PC that as you say are better graphics wise and also not to be sniffed at far far cheaper to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snail Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 At least the rumours about PS3 games being more than 360 games are not true. >£50 a game would have been horrendous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorburn Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 [ QUOTE ] According to a Beyond3D forum poster with a copy of the latest Famitsu, GT creator Kazunori Yamauchi detailed two different versions of Polyphony’s driving simulator. Gran Turismo HD Premium will include 30 cars and 2 courses, with that number to double eventually with downloadable content. Despite the name, Gran Turismo HD Classic is much more radical – the game is bundled with no cars or courses! Instead, cars are purchased for 50 to 100 yen from a selection of over 750 cars and a course for 200 to 500 yen from over 50 available. Assuming that one manages to purchase/unlock every single car and track in the game, the total costs could be equivalent of up to USD$637.50 for cars and USD$213 for tracks. Perhaps something was lost in translation from Famitsu’s interview, but if not, then Sony’s probably rubbing its hands together at the thought of this cash cow.

CarMad Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 They can kiss my arse if they think I would pay anything like that amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
