Ok here it go's:

Graphics:

Excelent, nothing to complain about, simply fantastic. (besides having no tyre marks)

Sound effects:

Disgusting. The level of graphics DO NOT match the level of car sound quality in this game. I am EXTREMELY disapointed by this part of the game. I can hardly see ANY imrovement of engine sound/tyre screeching etc in this sequel from Gran Turismo 2!!

The R34 GTR for example sounds just like it did in GT2... very electronic, plain, flat, no depth just boring. I was actually getting annoyed listening to it on a 3 lap race!! Im sure i wouldnt be getting annoyed listening to an R34 GTR reving to 8000rpm in real life for 3 laps!! I'd happily take 78658765 laps of that sound in real life!!

Also the sound of the other cars racing with u on the track is pathetic. Makes me sick. How can these guys concentrate so much on graphics but leave sound technology at that of 8 years ago in gaming????

With the turbo cars, you cannot hear any turbo spool what so ever & or any sought of flutter/dose when backing off or changing gears. Also the wind down noise of the engines in the cars is even worse!! Sounds like need for speed hot persuit or something from 1997.

Rev limiter noise could also improve HEAPS. Just to fake & electronic. Needs to be more dirty, a little exhaust popping etc etc.

Car handling physics:

Big imrpovement from the previous GT series games. Its now to the extent where if u want to drift u need to HAVE an idea! And u need a steering wheel to do it properly! The cars whip lash if u over correct etc, throttle control means heaps in this game too.. pretty impressive.

However I will extend this part of the review once i have my G25 steering wheel. Because with the controller the whip lash thing seems a little over exagerated, but this will be confirmed once i have the wheel...

So they are the good points... Now for the bad points... I parked a car on a slanted part of the track... now guess what the car did?? It started sliding down the hill like it was on ice!!?? WHHAATT THHEE F*****!!! How can a game of this calibre allow to have such a stupid **** up like that. Thats the sought of thing id expect on a nintendo 64 racing game!

Also... braking traction... the car still stays straight no matter what gear ur spinning. It occasionally will come out one way sliiigghhtly when ur lucky but thats it. This is also sickening. This is the 5th version of the game, and that vital part of the car physics still hasnt been corrected.

I am PRAYING the above **** ups are corrected/improved for the full version.

Don't forget in the graphics part.... the car will not leave skid marks...

It will not do burnouts starting in 2nd gear (my old R33 GTST could yet a Z06 can't?! Riiiight)

"Catching" power oversteer is VERY VERY HARD... near impossible.

So yeah, I dunno, they've stayed with the arcade style of the game... and the pro style hasn't been done very well.

f**k GT5P... i played non stop for like 48 hours.. and it broke my f**kn throttle finger! Serious RSI and swollen joints. I would have though nightly adolescent white tissue moments had strengthened my right hand sufficiently :(>_<

Now i got learn to use my middle finger...

Im very impressed with this game, the sounds are fantastic thru a 5.1 surround system. Maybe u just need to turn it up a a bit or play it thru something quality. If uve seen the making of this game they go to alot of effort to get the sounds etc.

also catching power oversteer is not hard, its just not as easy as your more basic games like nfs, forza, juiced etc

Blitz R34 sounds nuts 5.1 channel dolby digital yadida in my bedroom... can definitely hear the turbo spools up as its boosting through the high rev range... its nice :D

I just bought the ps3+gt5p bundle and the only complaint about it is the length. It's a $75 game retail and I'm nearly finished it after a max of 6 hours game play.

Also I can't play on line, it says 'you need to download the latest update' which I did and I still can't sign up to the gaming network?? Probably my own fault just can't figure it out.

yip i just got it 2day also... only played for a few hours, pretty much over it now.

is there just 6 lowsy tracks or am i missing something ?

Ive got the jap only version, is it possible to hire the english version, install it then use my jap version to play it in english, is this possible?

I want to download the english GTR Videos so i can understand what they are saying!

Anyone else find the sound in GT5 poor, im considering getting a ps3 for GT5 but if its as bad as GT4 i will pass on a PS3

Its beyond poor.

You look at the graphics, its like ur actually in the real thing its so f***ing real and then u hear the sound and you just feel like head-butting a concrete wall.

In all honestly the sound is of higher quality/realism in Gran Turismo 2...

I wish i could have forza 2 on the PS3. Only reason why i chose PS3 over xbox+forza was because the logitech steering wheel setup isnt compatible on the xbox and blue ray of course....

Is GTR2 ever gona come out on PS3????

wtf?

the sound quality is very good, alot of improvements over gt4. each car sounds like it should. Also the sound difference between view is good. from the incar view to the rear view the sounds changes alot.

the mines gtr sounds very real. i love the f430 it sounds like it does in real life, really shitty on idle (like a boat) but when its on full song its sounds awsome.

i love pulling up next to a f430 under braking and u can hear it slap it back into a lower gear its sounds very good :thumbsup:

I got goosebumps the first time i saw that. I just could not f**n believe it. Car games of this gen should sound like that! Gran Turismo sound is still stuck 8 years ago in technology.

If i was to close my eyes i would've thought that was a real life youtube video of a gtr and a ferrari.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
