mad082, if you consider the 'sound' of a car racing simulator to be categorised as a wank factor then go to time zone & play Daytona.

I put sound up there just as imortant as the handling physics of a game. Graphics I put at the bottom! I'd much prefer playing a racing game with pixelized graphics where the car handling physics are just like real life and give me goosebumps listening to them over a game with crystal clear real life graphics & cars that sound like vacuume cleaners.

The first time I played Forza, was Forza 3. And I tell you what, I lost my mind. I felt like spitting on my PS3 and snapping my GT5 Prologue disc in half afterwards because of it. (all because of the sound!!) Hearing the depth of detail of the Supra smashing the rev limiter absolutely blew me away. For the first time I actually enjoyed just driving the car straight in a racing game just because the sound was so realistic. The physics of Forza also were just unreal - sooooooooooooooooooooooooo far advanced over GT5.

In every Gran Turismo I've played, you can rev limit 5th spinning in a 600hp Supra and the car stays straight??? hmmmmmmmmm. In forza, once the car breaks traction, it naturally steps out making you have to control the car. If the cars dont naturally do this in GT5, ill find it bl**dy HILARIOUS after 4 years of work.

ok there is a few things here to address. yes i don't think having perfect to real life sound makes a game better than game with not as realistic sound. if it makes that much difference to you then fine, but i think you are just being picky. when i'm racing i hear the sounds of the car, but i'm not 'listening' to it. that is why it doesn't bother me. the other thing is, the quality of the speakers you are using make a huge difference.

secondly, the wheelspin thing, if you are going along a straight road in 5th gear and get wheelspin, the car won't always step out. it can in fact keep going in a straight line without stepping out at all. i've seen plenty of v8 supercar racing in the wet where they have been getting wheelspin on the straights and never had to make an ajustment to the steering. if the road is off camber or you are turning then it will step out.

Not trolling GT5 and or PS3. This is totally router dependant. You might need to exclude the PS3 IP and or MAC address. You might need to put the PS3 in the routers DMZ. There are a number of options

How are people going with the drift events? I find it pretty damn hard! Anything with a decent amount of power in it I keep spinning out or coming off the track. I try to power oversteer to gain contr

mad082. Please hop into a 600hp Supra. Rev and dump 3rd gear off the line, then flat change 4th continuing the wheel spin and tell me if your car stays straight.

I dont care what road it is. Your car WILL NOT stay straight.

Guessing you've never driven a powerful rear wheel drive car with an LSD or locked diff.

dumping off the line is hardly the same as getting wheelspin at high speed. there was no mention of dumping off the line in the post i was refering to. if there had been i would have replied differently as i am well aware of how the rear end moves around.

Forza is a great game... the tweaks you can do to the car's setup can really be felt when driving, pretty impressive stuff... pity after my 2nd RROD I binned the 360 and bought a PS3:( hopefully GT5 is even better... if its anything like the Prologue I'm burning the PS3

and just what the hell was so disastrously wrong with prologue? if they made any sort of improvement over that i'll be well impressed.

and im pretty sure the sound will be awesome.. the sound on prologue was awesome, and incredibly realistic. someone mentioned that the quality of your speakers makes a huge difference, well i have a very good quality amp and speakers (new in 1996, and was expensive) that have remarkable sound really. similar stuff you buy these days for the same money produce sound with nowhere near the clarity and depth that these things do. so i'd say anyone complaining about prologue's sound is probably using poor quality audio equipment. i used to sell stereos and the like up until a couple years ago and im here to say most audio stuff these days is absolute crap. unless your willing to part with a lot of cash.

exactly right. when i bought my surround system i listened to quite a few different systems. those cheap dvd player surround systems have terrible speakers, as do a most tv's. my system isn't top of the line, but it is a sony component amp with floor standing front speaker and book shelf type rears and a good sub. the system retailed for about $1300 (i paid much less than that thanks to someone writing the wrong price on the sign for the speakers), and it sounds great. the standard speakers in the tv are terrible, so that is why i bought it. even just watching tv it sounds much better.

And why do we NEVER hear external wastegates in car games? lol.

i dont think many games companies want to encourage that kind of shit. bogans/rednecks arent the key demographic they'r going for.

wastegates vented to atmo sound horrible IMO. the sole reason to do that is to attract attention to yourself from all the wrong sorts of people, be it the police or other hectics like yourself..

just rang the shop i'm getting it from to find out if they have it yet so i can pick it up on my way to work in the morning. they don't have it yet but are going to call me if they get it. otherwise i will have leave work a bit earlier tomorrow arvo. they said that they didn't get one of the NFS games (i think) until release day (that used to happen a bit when i worked at toywold as well. ps2 consoles we didn't get until lunch time of release day).

wonder if there's any shops planning on doing midnight release that will have to call it off because of not having stock?

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
