Rumour has it, GT 5 has been delayed due to the adoption of 3D. (Recently bought a PS3 and am wanting this title already! :mad2: )

3d driving sim with that good of graphics could be good but... More than likely would get banned as the dangers on society it could place with people "not being able to tell difference between the game and reality"


Where's gta6 in 3d ;)

27th May 2010, 09:14 AM
When the ps3 came out i said to myself "I'll get it when GT5 comes out".

I thought it was going to be a 6 month wait.. so I held my TV upgrade and such...

And here we are in 2010. Got a new TV recently and ps3 on the way as well as g27 + DIY cockpit.

This really better come out.. ><

im still skeptical

sooty
7th June 2010, 06:06 PM
Yeah was in JB yesterday and was surprised to see they're taking preorders... But as with others, I'm skeptical about the October release. It's been delayed so long already, no doubt will only be delayed further.

eb games has been taking preorders for ages. i should know. i work there. im hounding upper management to sort someting out as we dont have any marketing for it yet jb 2 doors down does. not good for our sales!!! we have a price $119.95 but yea after e3 we should all know for certain

that'd be rrp brenton

no doubt eb will break the street date and sell it for $88

slightly off topic,,,
i went to look at one of the sony 3d tvs our local hn were advertising on the radio...
turns out they are only showing samsung atm cos sonys are so pricey.
i had a quick go of the 3d glasses, and i must say i am not impressed too much.
sure it looks 3d, its no longer a flat picture, but the 3d seems to be layered.
they had a music video show on and a band was playing, the band members were in 3d, but the background (speakers/amps etc were all still 2d)
what i seen was about 4 or 5 layers.
it was like looking at one of them old cardboard cut out scenes your sister had when they were younger, you know, cut the dolls out, fold the bottom and stick them to the base of the scenery.
as for gt 3d, i like the sound of it,,,, but lets hope the whole picture is 3d, not just the cars and fences.

ASTRAY - that's not the tv's fault.

It's the fault of the producer thinking they can cost cut by shooting with a single lens and "adding 3d" in post production. Alice in Wonderland had the same thing - poor popup book style 3d, at least compared to Avatar which was shot with stereoscopic cameras. Rereleases, ie Titanic 3d will have the exact same problems.

Live TV/sports will be shot with stereoscopic cameras, they'll look good.

Oh games too - they just render the scene from two points. But tbh, I doubt the PS3 will produce a high enough framerate to pull it off - it effectively halfs the framerate.

thats for older games that can utilise the 3D side of things.

the new games that come out will be designed for 3D, so will be much better

But they'll do it by being less detailed ;). Always a trade-off - if you want double the framerate (to match the current frame-rate but per eye), you're going to have to lose some eye candy.

ChrisMaz
10th June 2010, 02:52 AM
Some guys have made a couple of movies of "Halo Reach" for 3D. You'll need the appropriate glasses. (the cross eyed example didn't work at all for me)

Heres the link.

http://au.xbox360.ign.com/articles/109/1095292p1.html


So why shouldn't GT 5 be in 3D?

sooty
10th June 2010, 12:37 PM
Hey that's pretty cool, watched the cross eyed example because i couldn't be bothered getting my glasses.
If you cross your eyes such that it looks like there's three boxes (instead of the two), then focus on the centre one, it definitely looks 3D. Although holding your eyes like that for 4mins is kinda hard

i love car games, but im not the kind that sits there trying to complete them.
last gt i bought was gt3, and my faves there were the viper for tarmac think it was near 1100hp
and for rally,, the ruf porsche,,,, 900hp+ on dirt ftmfw!!

As I've never really played any Gran Turismo's. Did they always come with the racing line enabled like Forza? I always liked it to get to know a track and then turn it off later on.

i think one of the packs comes with stealth cars which you can get once your in the game and a key ring and there is another pack where you get those cars and a scale model Nissan GT-R, no steering wheel mate, haha. may have missed out on something but they are way over priced in anycase.

still no comparision to Forza 3, which is a couple of years old...

the supposed damage is still very poor.

i hit a wall at about 260km/hr, the front bar and guard where bent a little.

so there is damage?? didn't notice any damage apart from tyre wear....

also the thud when you hit something is odd, it turns down all the other sound effects so the thud is very clear (and annoying)

but its still an ok game...

What I don't get is how come gt2 had 2000+ cars and they couldn't port them across... Sure physics engine would be diff but how hard could be to tweak them..

Also not fan of used car setup...

Graphics vs forza 3 I'd say gt5 is acctually better still...

I'd agree completely with you if all the cars were current gen models/textures

Picked up a copy today.

Gotta say... not terribly impressed on first play.

Can't see why it took 6 years to complete, seeing half the game (tracks/cars) seems to have been ported over from PS2. Based on the standard definition graphics/lack of new features, there were times I thought I was playing GT4!

Got the basic B licence, bought a 91 Civic, then a Gold GTI - boring. Also disappointed that there were no Opel/Vauxhall dealerships!

It wasn't until I played the Top Gear Combi challenge that the game seemed to finally come alive - frustrating but good fun.

On the plus side, I like how you can tune your car from the garage.

I'll keep playing to convince myself it was $77 well spent!

i was going to build a full cockpit for it with a g27 unit. but then they delayed it 12 times and i lost interest.

I'll probably still buy it later just for the sake of it but in no hurry.

I love the game, im addicted, lvl 11 for myself, finished both spec B and A beginner levels with Gold. lvl 6 with my hired driver and now have 2 and ive got something like 35 cars already (most of them crappy small cars and wtf am i going to do with a volkwagen from 1944 ??????? haha sells for 75K though)

People were expecting to much from it which is why some of the negative comments and comparing it to this and that and look yes it took way to bloody long to come out but I can notice alot of improvements on the prologue version albeit subtle ones. the gaming experience once your into it is brilliant, I love that you can be a team boss and direct your driver and the second hand market is always changing. The "special" section also makes for a change, having go-karts, rally driving and Nascar so all in all it does pack quite a punch.

So where you guys at now ?

Ive finished A & B spec, beginner and also only got three races left for the lext level before i finish that aswell. have done 33 licences and up to ...I think its IB now.

i would have had over 50 cars by now but alot of them were duplicates and crap so have halved that amount. Got about $150K in the bank and most of what i win now goes into Mods to try get that edge in a race. have 3 race drivers, one at level 9, 2 and 1. and have almost hit lvl 12 myself. One thing ive noticed if you overtune your car it goes absolutely nowhere unless its a straight line so you have to be very carefull not to make it silly with a stage 3 Turbo. Stage one is best for small winding tracks adn it boosts from low down and also a 5 speed short ratio transmission. these both made a massive difference and I was beating cars with more power than me. Helps that the Alfa i was driving is only 780 kg :) My fave car so far is my RX-7, only tuned to 360HP but on the small tracks I can almost lap opposition. My Skyline 380HP just wheel spins and is as good as a boat, haha

I'm lvl 11 I've done upto intermediate on karts and NASCAR for gold, got silver on kombi van and lotus is impossible! Amg got gold, rally I've got gold both beginner lvl.

Own about 25 cars best being a rx7 efini at just over 560hp. Did up a 79 civic for shits and giggles now has 193hp at under 800kg drives like shit. And using a ft-86 for Tarmac rallys :p

gold for go kart nascar and silver for kombi (fking combis!!!!) have only just been trying lotus,,,, fk its awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
only have b license.
first car is a silvia
have about 11 or 12 cars. seems everytime i hit 80k i have to do up another car to give myself the edge in races.

tips for those failing in kombi,,,, go to settings, turn tc up to 10, turn on active steering and everything else. then take corners sideways, seems to gain alot of ground that way.
sideways in a kombi,,,, what next!!!!

i was only getting 9th before i changed those settings.


add me,,,,, somesillyname
im up for online races, ill give any car/track a go, im not good, just love having a blat and a bit of competition.

na i found it was the easiest....

p.s. you dont get disqualified for going off the track ;) the first few corners are quicker if you go straight through them ahha



with the kombis did you guys learn the shortcuts for best spots to overtake?
first corner you should pass one (use him to keep your line on the corner) then hold right on the pack nib the outside grass and keep going when they all turn left for next turn cut back in before the solid barrier (you will pass another 2 here) then use next guy infront as your barrier (will pass another here) now hammerhead stay on the right and let the 3 cars fight it out brake later and use car #2 in the pack as the barrier this time(you can cut the corner on the white section to avoid them ramming of nudging you after) follow through dont follow there line and dont brake for either corner just do wide lines and cut the apex as hard as you can on the 2nd corner (should pass another 1). On bacarach dont brake again (the only corner you need to brake is hammerhead and gambon) cut the corner and hit the grass on 2nd to last corner should pass 3 more. gambon is dangerous i kept nudging them and getting disq here or cutting to much, only real way is to take it nice and easy...
