Although the current generation of consoles is nearly there IMO. The tree right before you fight Hades in God of War 3 looks photorealistic. It could have been taken straight of a son of rajab of the Rings movie.

I think the current graphics are good enough, they should start developing new input interfaces, physics engines and AI in my opinion. ie things other than jsut graphics.

What do you guys think?

i think you should shut up and make the god damn game yourself...

I'd love to but I guarantee that if I made it you'd get nothing but a blank screen when you put the disk into your PS3 :ninja:

So I think it's best for all of us if Polyphony Digital continue to make it :laugh:

I was hanging out for this game for AGERS. now my PS3 has YLOD!!!! stupid piece of junk. its like a giant paperweight now... Anyone know of a place that can fix it for under 250$?? 250$ is what playstation charges isnt it?

Btw in WA

ok, so a few more updates.....

apparently 33% of people who are waiting to buy gt5 don't have a ps3 yet. i'd believe it to, since i am 1 of them.

some cars will have damage where they can lose bumpers, etc, while others will only get minor scratches.

release date is up to sony, not up to polyphony, but they are still saying it isn't finished, despite the fact that 4 days before the march release was postponed Yamauchi didn't hesitate when confirming that it would be released in march.

and finally, gt5 has been confirmed that it will have 3d support. which basically means that it will actually turn out to have graphics about as good as stunts did back in the 90's.

meaning shit graphics. stunts was a racing game from back in the early 90's. possibly even late 80's.

basically i was implying that polyphony has dribbled so much shit over the past few years about this game and then keep letting us down that when it is finally released it will probably just be some pixelated garbage with 2 cars, 1 oval track and the cut scenes will be footage of cars doing skids in carparks lifted straight from youtube.

Stunts was the bomb! You could race cars, it had '3d' graphics and you could create your own tracks!!! I think that only a fwe SAU members would be old enough to remember this game, lol.

Here's hoping that GT5 comes out before Duke Nukem Forever does.

i played stunts and agree it was teh coolness. you could put in a loop. i still remember some of the tracks i made. 1 was a big oval. had loops all down 1 straight and jumps all down the others. had them spaced out so that you would land perfectly on the down ramp then go straight up the next jump. i think there was about 3 jumps down each straight. and the corners were banked, and because of the way they did them, the start of the banking was like a jump as well so the banking had to start ages before the corner otherwise you would jump way past the corner because of the speed you were doing.

cant wait for it to finally come out, better be worth the wait. have it feeling it will fail though.

i don't think it will fail. it will be better than all the previous versions. i personally think though it will fail in some peoples eyes because they will be of the view that they waited all that extra time and it wasn't massively better than the previous versions. so it will only fail because their expectations were too high. i'm just expecting it to be a bit better than previous versions, but not some "oh my god this is just like racing a car in real life!!!1!1!!ty" type of thing.

yeah this is true, i know mine are pretty high lol.

i am also one of them. i bought a logitech wheel set-up and GT5 Prologue just to use on my old flatmates PS3. He moved out and took the console and his massive Sony Bravia flat-screen with him :'(. Still, i'd gone as far as i could with GT5-P. Waiting waiting...

i tried one of the Samsung TV's yesterday with a 3D blue-ray DVD, and i reckon it's gunna make the full version of GT something pretty damned special having a 3D mode, maybe even as close to real driving as possible without having one of those enclosed g-force simulator rigs. no reason to assume it won't be crystal clear (comparing it to a 20+ year old game used with red/blue glasses is a bit retarded).

not too keen on paying full price for a 3D TV when GT5 comes out, but with any luck there'll be some bargains to be had by then.

i watched a 3d tv last week. didn't like it. they didn't have the room dark enough so it looked pretty crap. and since i don't have a theatre room to put a 3d tv in (or the money to even buy a 3d tv) then i will just stick with the 2d version.

Do you need to put on them silly glasses to get a 3d experience?

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
