Played the demo, wasnt impressed at all.

Seen some new videos and it blew me away. Then i saw forza motorsport 3 even more impressive.

Are you serious? The graphics on forza 3 look like GT on PSP rofl.

Also the GT5 demo is absolutely terrible, nothing like GT5-P. You get bored racing the same 4 or 5 tracks over and over again though. I only play it when i want some eye candy

There are other things to games besides graphics. There is this thing called gameplay its pretty cool hey.

Having said yes the graphics in forza 3 did blow me away too. You might want to get your eyes checked if you think its on psp level. roflmao

topher you're quite the Sony fanboy. Anyone who seriously thinks that they can compare graphics of modern day games via Youtube videos (especially pre release promotional footage that is likely pre rendered), is daft!

GT-5 Prologue got quite boring really fast, it didn't feel like there was anything 'new' about the driving experience, and the graphics didnt make me go WOW, well apart from the title screen, but unfortunately the game didnt look anywhere near as good.

:D

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 :D

Games have to be optimised cus of the limited hardware of consoles? ok lets not forget consoles are created and released and then never further developed (please dont go into the x360 updates) where as new pc parts are constantly released so over a 5 year period you can purchase a console for a relatively low price, say $500-$700 and it will do you for all that time. A PC will need to be updated if not replaced every 1 to 2 years to play the latest games at full graphics. And this is the major reason why i no longer play the latest games on PC. Consoles look nearly as good as the games are developed for consoles because that is the largest market.

Exactly what I've done ;)

i have to admit, i did the same thing... about a year ago now and im still waiting! hurry up polyphony digital

forza3 looks good but to say it looks better than gt5 is simply incorrect, i love my racing games and have spent many a night on other net forums where i have seen "exposed" the inaccuracies between real life cars and those in forza3. gran turismo 5 represents cars 100% accurately. its just got more class.

Fanboy? lol. I'm such a sony fanboy that i own an xbox, had a 360 (rrod) and had a wii. If anything i am more of a sega fanboy... dreamcast > * :)

Of course you can compare graphics on youtube. It's going to dumb down the graphics of both videos so you see which one looks less crap.

How can the title screen look good but the in game graphics not? What T.V do you have? I know when i didn't have a full HD t.V the graphics looked 'good' only. The graphics on gt-5 are top notch, the only problem is when you zoom in at the start of a race and it has that little 'tear' above the cars or whatever it is. But yeah it does get boring very fast unless you are playing with a mate. Me and a mate were racing the f1 car and drifting all night :)

pretty ridiculous showing a non real time low resolution vid of forza 3 from you tube then comparing it to a higher resolution vid of gt on psp that has non real time action 4 times as small.

You may as well put the gt5 ps3 vid on there and say it looks the same as the psp version.

Played it on a mates Sony Bravia LCD 42in, if the prologue is actually 1080p then thats what it would have been running in, the crowds etc also looked really wooden especially, and there seemed to be a noticeable degredation in the graphics in split screen; the only thing I like about the GT games over Forza is the amount of JDM cars.

Slightly more on topic, I'm lucky in that a mate bought a PS3 for the sole purpose of GT5, because I sure wouldnt! :(
Exactly what I'll be doing :D

+1 Did the same thing too.

i'm not allowed to buy a ps3 until gt5 comes out, which is fine by me, because i don't play many other games other than the GT series, and CBF'd paying $50 for a game with only a handfull of cars and tracks

even more latest news (cbf'd getting a link cause it's bad news) but release date is now set for a japan release in march 2010. apparently they have gone from being ready to release at any time to only being 65% complete. in which case it will take them another 3 years

It will get a release when PS3 sales numbers need bumping up for the shareholders. :down:

Do we have any ideas on the cars featured? Usually those start to leak out first. Hopefully they have a lot more older stuff. The best thing about GT and Forza is modifying the older 80s and 90s cars, and the number of those has always been limited unfortunately. On top of that, they are never really accurate with what is actually happening in grass roots motorsport (the best level of the game for mine). Forza was better than GT4 with it, but still lacked a lot.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
