Gran Turismo crew - tribute to Ferrari 458

[MmmmBeeeeer]

honestly that Ferrari vid looked real, how can it be a game??!!!

Its from the replay mode, which is done in real time, but I think the replay mode they add video effects, but the game does run at nearly 60 fps consistently...I don't think it ever drops below 55.

IMO, even in Prologue there are certain times in replay mode that it looks photorealistic. They are just completely anal about their car modelling and track modelling.

I read an interview a while back from Kaz about track modelling and he was talking about how all the trees are in the exact location of their real life counterpart...this is important imo because I used to work in Champ Car (now IndyCar) and I know that specifically at Laguna Seca the drivers would key into a certain tree off in the distance to line up the car to turn into the blind corkscrew turn (which is competely badass irl)

I also posted this in an older GT5 thread, but this is another example of their attention to detail and what the PS3 can handle:

Some things I noticed with the IGN HD vids about the track:



Trees are looking improved, with actual branches instead of the 2D variety.



The walls look like they're bump-mapped, though I can't really tell 100%.



The buildings actually have the interiors modeled. The ceiling lights are not 2D textures; watch the vid and you'll see the lights move independently of the building.



The textures have dramatically improved; you can see a map on this small sign very clearly, whereas in Gran Turismo 4 even the Times Square signs were blurred to hell.

but you come to expect that from maynard I guess.

oh, your not crying are you sally?

You can't be serious....

posting over sized images of a tail light does not make for good game.

seriously though, GT5 will probably be an awesome game. the only reason i think forza will 1 up it is due to the customization features the game has. but imo, forza 2 was to blah on the track. I got bored with it. I want a realistic racing game, but i want it to be fun too....and it wasnt all that fun

one thing i always liked about the GT series was earning licensees to play with better cars and tracks

Customization as far as logos, vinyl's, body kits, etc is one thing that Forza will have and GT won't.

GT has spoilers and rims. Meh.

But to say Forza looks better or plays better is absurd. lol.

I love the endless amount of combination of racing parts you can put on a car which can basically make no car the same.

The idea that I can take a Eagle Talon and make it into a 800 hp monster is fun as hell. Till you actually drive it and the HP practically tears the car apart!

This one is my favorite:
