# Polyphony Digital is working on reducing load times and is still tweaking graphics ahead of the November release date.

# The game has nearly filled all of the space available on Blu-Ray disc.

# You’ll have the option to synchronize the game’s time of day with the track’s current local time.

# The crowds will be dynamic, so there will be more tents, cars, and motorhomes at longer races.

# Yamauchi admits his team may have “actually gone too far in modeling some of this detail” and suggested it might be “more suited to the next generation of PlayStation.”

# Both high and low-beam headlights will be included, so you can flash slower cars as you’re about to pass them (how awesome will this be during the 24 hour races!?!). All lights will illuminate dirt, smoke, or other debris in the air.

# NASCAR insisted that all of their series’ cars be playable on all circuits in the game.

# It was previously mentioned that only 9 NASCAR cars will be included, but this was incorrect. There are simply 9 cars in the E3 2010 demo, but “many more” are coming.

# With the exception of profanity, all of the Nurburgring’s graffiti has been re-created, just as it is in real life. According to Kotaku, they will attempt to keep the graffiti up-to-date before the game is shipped.

# Players will be able to maintain an online profile to share and watch friend’s progress and statistics.

# All cars (including standard models) will accumulate dirt and will have functional horns.

# All cars will have functioning reverse lights.

# More information will be revealed at Gamescom in Germany on August 18-22.

# More Formula 1 teams will bring their cars to the game, in addition to Ferrari.

pretty cool stuff, especially being able to synch the actual time of day with that of the race

For the amount of time they've had to work on the game, it's an expectation to have all of these small details in it. Then again, it's the smaller details that separate a good game from a great game.

At least we know Polyphony have pushed the PS3 to its limits... It's going to be EPIC.

And for Mr Eps, I remember making no such bet... :D

Translation: Frame rates can get pretty horrible.

This ought to bring back some great memories...

Whether you had the full game or just played it on Demo1.

that reminds me of the old NFS games. about 6 months ago i loaded nfs highstakes up here at work and was playing it and it's music sounds a lot like that too. brought back memories of the good old days

I believe you are referring to Paradigm Shifter...

By far, the best NFS game EVER!!! Followed closely by the Underground series.

PM me if anyone wants any of these songs. I have them both in MP3 format off their soundtracks.

Do you have the soundtrack for NFS Porsche Challenge/Porsche Unleashed? I have been looking for it for ages.

that's the one

Forza 3 - released October 23 2009

GT5 - Not yet released

GT5 will end up being compared to Forza 4 anyway.

+ ps3 is blu-ray, x-box isn't, so you have to expect some graphics differences. however i don't think you can put that much down to the release date. a lot of the waiting time was them getting it sorted for 3D and playstation move. however yes they have been developing the game for longer even before that. but then if they hadn't been spending time on getting GT5P out and all that crap it may have been out already.

You mean the 'demo that you pay for'. BD allows more models and textures and higher res textures so more cars and supposedly more stuff around the track however it doesn't make the PS3 GPU any faster.

Sorry Taz, I don't have that one.

BUT

You might find it in the new thread I just made,

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
