Played the demo, wasnt impressed at all.

Seen some new videos and it blew me away. Then i saw forza motorsport 3 even more impressive.

Are you serious? The graphics on forza 3 look like GT on PSP rofl.

Also the GT5 demo is absolutely terrible, nothing like GT5-P. You get bored racing the same 4 or 5 tracks over and over again though. I only play it when i want some eye candy

There are other things to games besides graphics. There is this thing called gameplay its pretty cool hey.

Having said yes the graphics in forza 3 did blow me away too. You might want to get your eyes checked if you think its on psp level. roflmao

topher you're quite the Sony fanboy. Anyone who seriously thinks that they can compare graphics of modern day games via Youtube videos (especially pre release promotional footage that is likely pre rendered), is daft!

GT-5 Prologue got quite boring really fast, it didn't feel like there was anything 'new' about the driving experience, and the graphics didnt make me go WOW, well apart from the title screen, but unfortunately the game didnt look anywhere near as good.

:D

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 :D

Games have to be optimised cus of the limited hardware of consoles? ok lets not forget consoles are created and released and then never further developed (please dont go into the x360 updates) where as new pc parts are constantly released so over a 5 year period you can purchase a console for a relatively low price, say $500-$700 and it will do you for all that time. A PC will need to be updated if not replaced every 1 to 2 years to play the latest games at full graphics. And this is the major reason why i no longer play the latest games on PC. Consoles look nearly as good as the games are developed for consoles because that is the largest market.

Exactly what I've done ;)

i have to admit, i did the same thing... about a year ago now and im still waiting! hurry up polyphony digital

forza3 looks good but to say it looks better than gt5 is simply incorrect, i love my racing games and have spent many a night on other net forums where i have seen "exposed" the inaccuracies between real life cars and those in forza3. gran turismo 5 represents cars 100% accurately. its just got more class.

Fanboy? lol. I'm such a sony fanboy that i own an xbox, had a 360 (rrod) and had a wii. If anything i am more of a sega fanboy... dreamcast > * :)

Of course you can compare graphics on youtube. It's going to dumb down the graphics of both videos so you see which one looks less crap.

How can the title screen look good but the in game graphics not? What T.V do you have? I know when i didn't have a full HD t.V the graphics looked 'good' only. The graphics on gt-5 are top notch, the only problem is when you zoom in at the start of a race and it has that little 'tear' above the cars or whatever it is. But yeah it does get boring very fast unless you are playing with a mate. Me and a mate were racing the f1 car and drifting all night :)

pretty ridiculous showing a non real time low resolution vid of forza 3 from you tube then comparing it to a higher resolution vid of gt on psp that has non real time action 4 times as small.

You may as well put the gt5 ps3 vid on there and say it looks the same as the psp version.

Played it on a mates Sony Bravia LCD 42in, if the prologue is actually 1080p then thats what it would have been running in, the crowds etc also looked really wooden especially, and there seemed to be a noticeable degredation in the graphics in split screen; the only thing I like about the GT games over Forza is the amount of JDM cars.

Slightly more on topic, I'm lucky in that a mate bought a PS3 for the sole purpose of GT5, because I sure wouldnt! :(
Exactly what I'll be doing :D

+1 Did the same thing too.

i'm not allowed to buy a ps3 until gt5 comes out, which is fine by me, because i don't play many other games other than the GT series, and CBF'd paying $50 for a game with only a handfull of cars and tracks

even more latest news (cbf'd getting a link cause it's bad news) but release date is now set for a japan release in march 2010. apparently they have gone from being ready to release at any time to only being 65% complete. in which case it will take them another 3 years

It will get a release when PS3 sales numbers need bumping up for the shareholders. :down:

Do we have any ideas on the cars featured? Usually those start to leak out first. Hopefully they have a lot more older stuff. The best thing about GT and Forza is modifying the older 80s and 90s cars, and the number of those has always been limited unfortunately. On top of that, they are never really accurate with what is actually happening in grass roots motorsport (the best level of the game for mine). Forza was better than GT4 with it, but still lacked a lot.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
