is what the guy was quoted as saying

i hope it does.. i haven't played a gt since gt1/2, didn't like 3 or 4 much, but will like this just cos it looks so nice

even a port i can live with, not all ports are shit but atm.. theres just no good racing games on pc, grid was probably most fun i've had on a racing game and the physics in it were just demented

lol pcfag.

You neglected to mention that games are often much better optimised for consoles due to having the same hardware; and thus better hardware utilisation than a PC.

Most games that I've played recently on 360 aren't too much different to their PC counterparts, though I guess this is also due to a lot of games being given a multi platform release now as well. (the other thing being that you don't get the same exclusive downloadable content on PC!)

The last good PC car game I played was NFS High Stakes.

My best mate and I played GT4 again and then the GT5 Prologue the other week, It kinda felt well... boring, apart from the fact that we could race a GTS-R vs R32 GT-R in GT4 :D

I'll be hanging out for the new NFS title which is supposedly a return to the more simulation based type of NFS.

They have to be optimised, its different hardware - and limited at that.

Whilst they might use the hardware better - the single reason is that when ported to PC you'll never have them use a PC hardware properly because they are not coded as such... you kind of countered your own point.

games written for PC's rock - always have, there are just less off them these days :)

Whilst direct ports from console to PC are often shite, as opposed to a game developed for multiple platforms in paralell, I'm starting to see less and less of a gap between Xbox games and PC.

A case in point - Fallout 3 ran like a dog with no legs on my Centrino Duo 6550, 2GB RAM and 8400GS. I swap out the 8400GS for an 8600GT I got for very cheap and I can now have it playable in full screen not letterboxed (!!!) but bodies still disappear when more than 10m away. Whereas I can have the exact same game experience albeit smoothly on the 360. That was my watershed moment with computer games.

I don't think I'll be bothering to upgrade again in the near future due to this fact.

I'm also someone who during the 90s and early 00's was a vehement opponent of consoles in general. PSone games struggled to keep me entertained for >5min with about 4 exceptions, and N64 etc never grabbed me. The gaming world has changed since then though.

Slightly more on topic, I'm lucky in that a mate bought a PS3 for the sole purpose of GT5, because I sure wouldnt! :P

YAY for GT5, ill be an old man before it comes out, but im used to that waiting for GT and GTA games.

ports are pretty crap atm, you need an uber PC to run GTA4 anything like the PS3 can (unless you turn down traffic and m,ake the game easier)

ive loved all the GT games, except GT4 prologue it was kinda lame. GT5 prolgue is a bit better cause of the online racing, but the full game should be asolutely mental with the number of cars and tracks, and then UPGRADES!!! yay cant wait, thanks for the reminder guys, now i can go dream about it again

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
