I don't know about you, but I see a track down there.

Along with 2D trees, 2D buldings and textured-in shadows.

It will get at least a 9. Though seeing it flop would be humorous. SW would be quite entertaining. :P

I wont be getting it though. Never been into race sims.

all your doing is proving my point about ridiculous comparisons,nobodys allowed to mention any aspect of GT5 which might possibly be inferior to that of Forza 3, yet cows proudly parade those kind of screens of Forza 3 around like its actually represents the games overall graphics. Do you not think people may be a little tired of seeing silly Forza 3 screens taken to make the game look so bad, when GT5 hasnt even been released to do the same with.

marklarmer

You are missing the point entirely.

Forget about "overall graphics."

This is about the fact that both games use 2D trees and objects in their environments.

Lol at 7 people voting 6.5 or under. I, however, voted AAA and believe it will get a 9.

Can't wait I'm thinking it's going to get around a 9.0-9.5 I really need a driving wheel :x XD4NTESINF3RNOX

Logitech has the G27 Racing wheel, and you can use the code: synrepp_2009 ; to get 40% off making it $180 with free shipping (may be tax though).

I would so get that if they did international shipping and i didn't already have a Driving Force GT. In NZ a G27 costs 600$, which when converting into USD is a freakin whooping 440$.

So, what awards do y'all think GT5 has a good chance of winning--or at least be nominated for?

I'll say:

- Best Racing Game
- Best PS3 Game
- Game of the Year
- Best Graphics, Technical

Should be some more, but I can't think of them :P.

Would you guys stop arguing about backgrounds? They are both garbage, seriously...not one is more impressive than the other.

uh, shouldnt this argument be about which is a better racing game? not which is a better tech demo?

A minor update is now up. More updates to come tonight. Stay tuned!

LOL @ the 2D object argument. What does it matter if Forza or GT have 2D trees? It does not!

It's never too late to start! :)

GT3 was my first GT game. It's easily the best in the series (so far). Hopefully GT5 will top it.

Nice communication design. AAAe, thats all I have to say. 8)

[QUOTE="_Matt_"]

[QUOTE="Rikusaki"] I know... It's quite ridiculous. Anyway, I'm working on the screenshot section. Head over and check it out if it pleases you.Rikusaki

:( Ah. Well that sucks...

I think improving the sound is the most important thing at this point

Having a 69 Camaro sound like a vacuum cleaner destroys the experience

I have just been on the official site for GT and I can't find anything about there not being interior views for standard cars. I know that it says premium cars have highly detailed interiors, but I can't see anywhere it saying that standard cars do not have interiors? Am I just looking in the wrong place?

What Stigusaki said. If you end up really getting into it, invest in a wheel which will enhance the experience ten-fold.

Wow, weird. See its different from the Eu version. look Hereat the same page on the Eu site. It does not mention that little bit on the end!

Yup. Ah well. we shall know for sure after Gamescom :) . Btw, where has your cool dragon avatar and sig gone?

After a long time of waiting it's finally coming!!!! I'm so excited for GT5!

AAAE at best!

Agreed! GT3 was my first too. This was my crowned achievement:

Got it up to 1200 hp and went 300 MPH on test course.

Pfft and you call yourselves fans, i started with GT *flexes* and have had every GT since (not the prologues though) :P

But yeah that thing was an untamable beast, but in a straight line it was unbeatable.

I used it in races on laguna seca. If you tune it right it can go against a viper.

I never bothered trying to tune it for races, my favourite car was the GT40, well most used anyway.

I also started on the first GT. If you tuned the escudo pikes peak just right, you could get it to do a wheelie. :lol:

Great job Rikusaki.. keep it up !!!

i see alot of Forza fans are voting AAAAe :)

personally i think the game will probably get a 9 - 9.5 score.. what i'm sure of though is that GT5 will consume my PS3 gaming time :P

I would say 9.0.

GT5 will get no lower than 9.5. I'm absolutely positively certain of it. I haven't been more certain about a score prediction in my entire existence on these boards.

Riku, you designed one of the sexiest threads I've ever laid eyes on! This is great. I'm looking forward to the moment I see TRACK CREATOR in the OP :).

If you don't have this song in your custom playlist while playing GT5, you're doing it wrong. Talk about a notalgia trip.

By the time the game comes out I'll have over 1000 'perfect for racing' songs for GT5. One for every car? Maybe so!

Another track that brings back wonderful memories of GT1. Its a really dark song, but would fit racing at night time in GT5 perfectly!

Over 1000 songs? Damn, man.

I haven't started creating my GT5 playlist yet, so I really should get started. I need to get hold of the entire GT1 + 2 soundtracks somehow, plus pick my favourites from GT3 + 4. I've always found it strange that the music in the GT series isn't stuff that I'd listen to personally but is always brilliant to drive to.

All I need now is for PD to include my all-time favourite car from the series (TVR Cerbera LM Edition) and I'll be in complete nostalgia heaven.

May i suggest Herbie Hancok's album Head Hunters? For some reason that album just hugely reminds me of some of the menu songs from the previous Gran Turismo's especially the track Sly
