Gt5 Is Ready

[Tony de Wonderful]

Is this game worth ditching my Xbox for and getting a PS3?

Is it going to really be so much better than Forza 3?

Maybe I'll just spend the money on a my real car.

Harvey Norman have it for $77.

[mad082]

Harvey have it at $77 for preorder in their catalogue, but that catalogue ends today i think (going by the ad on tv). so who knows what the prices will actually be on thursday.

On another note, a heap of shops in france are already selling it.

also 20GB, is that the size for this download or is that how much space you will need on ur ps3 when the game installs????

[boiracer]

prob for the game install. alot of PS3 games are very big on the system. like GTA4 uses about 4.5gig

anything is worth ditching an xpox to buy a PS3

I heard Harvey norman had it for presale for $77 on the radio. So I went there and saw signs saying Pre Order for $88. I told the guy I just heard $77 on the radio and he said ok, then he spent about 10 minutes trying to find it in the computer.

I was looking at his screen as he typed GT5 into search. GT5 Prologue came up and he said that's $44, I told him wrong game and he kept searching. Next he found GTA4 and I told him wrong game again. Eventually he found GT5 and clicked on the GT5 CE edition and asked for $138. Then I told him I just want the normal version (which was sitting right above the CE edition on his screen, He retyped GT5 into the comptuer and started searching through the massive list again. I saw before that they had 166 copies in stock and just told him dont worry i'll just buy it on the day.

Also checked dick smiths Which was $89 to preorder, the guy said just order it online for $79 + free delivery but I looked up there online service and found a forum thread full of complaints.

Cant wait for the release though

[LANDSCRIBBLE]

go buy it from JB hifi, the guy on the phone said that the price atm doesnt mean much, and they'll change it on thursday to make it as cheap as possible. he said ballpark price was around $110 but it will go down i guess to beat harveynormal and dicksmith etc.

was at eb today and they had all the games in the glass cabinet behind the register ready to go and the price was $89 preorder, so i decided to wait till thursday and go the cheapest place

If the cars in this game still sound like electronic vacuume cleaners & handle like they have open wheel diffs I will make sure I bag every single review site I can access!

Reallllyyyy hoping they have come close to the sound Forza has mastered!

[mad082]

watch a few videos. you will see the sound is much better than previous games.

i think part of the issue with previous versions of the game (and people will still say the same about this game to an extent) is that they think the sound should be what they hear when the car goes past, however in the games they have always made it sound a bit more like the perspective from which you are driving. the sound of a car behind the car is different to that in the car or at the front of the car, and people driving from the front bar view should hear more engine noise and not as much exhaust note, while people driving from the rear view should hear more exhaust note and less engine noise. inside the car should hear a mix of exhaust noise, gearbox noise (in race cars), and engine noise.

also saying that a game is shit purely because of the audio is pretty sad and pathetic. how about you rate it on how it plays, rather than dismiss what is more than likely going to be the best handling racing game around, and probably the most visually advanced game. if the sound being slightly off is enough to outweigh all of that then i'm sorry, you are a super nerd.

[warps]

more than likely going to be the best handling racing game around

Whoa - big call. Hope you're right.

I'm a sound nerd too. Yes, it's very important to me. Some of the community add on sound projects for other driving sims over the years have been fantastic. The right sounds can make a huge difference to the driving experience. Obviously not the most important thing in a game, but a big part of the enjoyment.

[mad082]

sound means very little to me as when i race i don't just go for a sunday drive and think to myself "oh that doesn't quite sound right", i mostly ignore the sound and put all my concentration into braking at the last second, hitting the apex and accelerating as early as possible. for me as long as the graphics are decent and it handles very well, then that is all i car about. i care about the racing and not all the wank factor stuff that goes with it.
