is what the guy was quoted as saying

i hope it does.. i haven't played a gt since gt1/2, didn't like 3 or 4 much, but will like this just cos it looks so nice

even a port i can live with, not all ports are shit but atm.. theres just no good racing games on pc, grid was probably most fun i've had on a racing game and the physics in it were just demented

lol pcfag.

You neglected to mention that games are often much better optimised for consoles due to having the same hardware; and thus better hardware utilisation than a PC.

Most games that I've played recently on 360 aren't too much different to their PC counterparts, though I guess this is also due to a lot of games being given a multi platform release now as well. (the other thing being that you don't get the same exclusive downloadable content on PC!)

The last good PC car game I played was NFS High Stakes.

My best mate and I played GT4 again and then the GT5 Prologue the other week, It kinda felt well... boring, apart from the fact that we could race a GTS-R vs R32 GT-R in GT4 :D

I'll be hanging out for the new NFS title which is supposedly a return to the more simulation based type of NFS.

They have to be optimised, its different hardware - and limited at that.

Whilst they might use the hardware better - the single reason is that when ported to PC you'll never have them use a PC hardware properly because they are not coded as such... you kind of countered your own point.

games written for PC's rock - always have, there are just less off them these days :)

Whilst direct ports from console to PC are often shite, as opposed to a game developed for multiple platforms in paralell, I'm starting to see less and less of a gap between Xbox games and PC.

A case in point - Fallout 3 ran like a dog with no legs on my Centrino Duo 6550, 2GB RAM and 8400GS. I swap out the 8400GS for an 8600GT I got for very cheap and I can now have it playable in full screen not letterboxed (!!!) but bodies still disappear when more than 10m away. Whereas I can have the exact same game experience albeit smoothly on the 360. That was my watershed moment with computer games.

I don't think I'll be bothering to upgrade again in the near future due to this fact.

I'm also someone who during the 90s and early 00's was a vehement opponent of consoles in general. PSone games struggled to keep me entertained for >5min with about 4 exceptions, and N64 etc never grabbed me. The gaming world has changed since then though.

Slightly more on topic, I'm lucky in that a mate bought a PS3 for the sole purpose of GT5, because I sure wouldnt! :P

YAY for GT5, ill be an old man before it comes out, but im used to that waiting for GT and GTA games.

ports are pretty crap atm, you need an uber PC to run GTA4 anything like the PS3 can (unless you turn down traffic and m,ake the game easier)

ive loved all the GT games, except GT4 prologue it was kinda lame. GT5 prolgue is a bit better cause of the online racing, but the full game should be asolutely mental with the number of cars and tracks, and then UPGRADES!!! yay cant wait, thanks for the reminder guys, now i can go dream about it again

    • yeah I have brown peeking out from in between some metal sheets close to the hood hinges. Strut towers look fine, even around the edges. some images https://imgur.com/a/brGt3Tu the one that looks the worst is the panel(s) going away right near the firewall on the passenger side, from underneath. Driver side does not look that bad.
    • I presume you are talking about a C34? Have you seen the buyers guide? https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/92065-buyers-guide-the-nissan-c34-stagea/ It's what got me to sign up to the forums when I bought mine. What kind of insight are you after? Up front I'd probably suggest to not get tempted by the poverty-spec models. I can't imagine a RB20DE to be engaging to drive in a 1600kg car.
    • yeah I try to be positive. Time will tell what becomes of it. Realistically my only other choice than to just deal with all the issues is to walk away and just sell it agai, at a loss.     I know a fair bit about these cars and knew before buying. I will try to deal with the rusty spots without tearing apart the metalwork for now. Sooner or later I probably will have to bite the bullet and do (or ge done) the arguably worst job an a 33/34 Skyline.
    • I'm aware that you can sink endless amounts of money into an engine. I don't want that kind of engie though. My power goal is 500, maybe 600hp at the max. I can get by with the nearly stock engine that I have now for that purpose and if it does need a rebuild at some point I would choose longer lasting components instead of the most ridiculously hp-rated ones. And do all the essentials of course.
