RacingRed Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Finally. Project Gotham already has all of those features, GT is playing catch up. What absolutely needs attention with this franchise is the shockingly basic AI that hasn't changed in any meaningful manner since GT2. That and the developer needs to for once understand that 90% of players will be using a controller, not a race seat with fixed pedals. They need to drop the whole license test thing too. For a games 5th generation it is ridiculous to think that veteran players should have to go through the same driving school section that they have four times already. Firing up PGR3 and jumping straight into racing was such a refreshing change, and racing a supercharged Atom too, not the MX-5 that is GT's default choice.

Thorburn Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I have to say GT5 is one game which could really tempt me to buy a PS3 at some point. Probably going to get a 360 + wheel for Forza 2 first though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] You should be comparing Forza2 and GT, not PGR3, which is an arcade game. Id disagree you should jump straight into the higher powered cars. If you have the best cars at the beginning, you have nothing to aim for, and especially online you'll find EVERY drive goes for the fast cars. Whats the point in realistically modelling 300+ cars, only to find everyone spends 90% of their time in a modified Ferrari F50? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacingRed Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I think a little injection of the arcade mentality would do GT the world of good. I haven't bought in to the whole 'Real Driving Simulator' thing for years. Real driving is rubbish 90% of the time. We only do it because the trains are so useless. Games need to be fun, they serve as escapism in the same way that reading an article in EVO is. Why would I buy a game to drive a Focus around some cones in a car park? I wouldn't. But to drive a Focus WRC around a rally stage? That's something unavailable to me, and the basis of the games appeal. I just think GT takes itself far too seriously. There is a balance to be struck, and you can have a realistic game while still being a great fun game. GT misses that balance in my opinion. And as for car balance, PGR has a progression from lower cars to higher, it just does it in a more focused range than GT. The cheapest car on PGR3 is the Corvette C6, the most expensive is the Ferrari F50 GT. While GT always boasts a car list in the hundreds, many have no place in a racing game and even more are multiples of the same model (Skylines and Lancers being repeat offenders). [Edit: You are right about Forza being GT's natural rival. The point I was making citing PGR is that GT had become a turnoff for me after the first three and PGR was something fresher. I hope they take time to really innovate with GT5, might draw me back to the series.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Please tell me car damage is going to be included. They can't miss it out of another please. I understand some car companies don't want the cars to be damaged, tough its a game for goodness sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie123 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 [ QUOTE ] Yamauchi said the PS3 is powerful enough to handle in-game car damage , but implementing it realistically would require "double the work" in physics and artistic modeling. So will it make it into the game? As the Magic 8-Ball might say, signs point to no. [/ QUOTE ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Yep I read that, but thats a summary of the actual article that says it a bit differently. Look down the comments and it tells you more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacingRed Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 That is hellishly impressive... visually. Problem is, I never had a quibble with GT's looks. Question is, have they spent all their time on (genuinely) photorealistic graphics? Frankly, I'll wait for a demo. If they haven't improved the AI and got more than six cars on track then they can forget it. Nice to see Ferrari in it years after every other racer got the license. Seems like my boycott of GT4 has yielded the result I was after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 October. Woop! Really hope that isn't the usual GT opening gambit date. Really does look every bit as good as it should. 16 car races sounds like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 I can't check the clips at the moment, but are they cut scenes, or actual in game footage? One thing I always hated about the PSs was they tempt you with fantastic movies, but none of it is real. The actual game, the important part, was always inferior.
