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?

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
