that's only the basic version, not the collectors edition. and you have to buy a wheel to get it. so while i may be paying $60 more for the game, my total outlay is only $130, not $475

more info revealed at the tokyo game show yesterday.

Here’s a quick overview of what’s been discussed in the TGS 2010 GT5 breakout session:

* Laguna Seca has been completely rebuilt and will return for GT5. Trial Mountain has also been confirmed.

* “Gran Turismo Anywhere” will allow you to manage B-Spec races, right from your computer. You’ll be able to hold B-Spec races with your friends from anywhere in what are called “Remote Races”.

* GT5 will feature a series of special events such as the Karting Experience, the AMG driving school, The Stig Challenge, Jeff Gordon NASCAR School, Sebastien Loeb Rally Challenge, and Gran Turismo Rally.

* Point-to-point rally stages will be automatically and randomly generated – you’ll have to depend on your co-driver to give you the best instructions about the road ahead.

* Rally mode can be played either on or offline.

* Weather changes include temperature differences, air pressure changes, and humidity, affecting the surface conditions of the track dynamically.

* Weather conditions are randomized. Forecasts for your race will be available but may not be entirely accurate, just like the real world.

* Polyphony Digital has helped Red Bull Racing’s Adrian Newey design the X1 Concept – an “ultimate” racing car, free of any technical regulations.

* Polyphony Digital has worked to improve engine sounds.

* Yamauchi admits that, in certain situations – such as standing race starts in the rain with 15 other cars on the screen kicking up spray in front of you – the game may not be able to hold 60FPS. Otherwise, it will strive to hold 60FPS as often as possible.

* The Volkswagen Kubelwagen, which has a drive system like the first beetle, and the amphibious Volkswagen Schwimmwagen will be in the game.

* Many things didn’t make the cut in Gran Turismo 5, and work on Gran Turismo 6 has already begun.

they don't have the collectors edition on their site, and i'm guessing it wouldn't be that much cheaper than buying it from a local store once i add on the cost of postage (since postage is $15 and they are only $4 cheaper than shops here for the standard game). and then if there is anything wrong with the game i have to post it back, rather than just driving to where i bought it. and i would get it quicker through my local store.

i'd also hazard a guess that they are losing a few dollars on the game at that price. unless sony has changed the amount of mark up they put on games from back when i worked at a toy shop where a ps2 game that sold for $100 would wholesale at around $70 to $80 from memory.

recently I bought a mybook world edition "white light" as my PS3 was getting full too. This thing is great, you just plug it in to your router and the PS3 detects it straight away and all you do is move your movies into the right file on the my book and then you can view them through the PS3 using the movie options from the main menu! 1TB was only about $180 so it was pretty good value.

Or you can just download a program called PS3 Media Server and your PS3 can read everything off your PC.

Too bad you won't be getting it till Nov 4 :cool:

ahh, but my EB games guy, knows the sister of the brother who owns a budgy related to the budgy of the daughter of the aunt who knows mister GT5's step son's nephew on his mothers side.

And if he says its Nov 1, then goddam it, its Nov 1!!

I'm gonna check my reciept for a Pizza Hut clause. If its late its free :rofl2:

Yeh it looks very pretty.

What about the important stuff though?

What are the physics like? Can you just rail ride around corners or will the cars actually have some semblance to real car handling traits?

Will the cars slow down when you lift off the throttle?

Will cars suffer actual damage if you hit anything? (i'm not talking about pretty crumpled panels either)

Will tyres actually blow if you don't bring it in for a tyre change or run into something?

Will tyres heat up / cool down depending on how you drive on them?

Is it possible to DNF a race?

Will there be more than 6 cars in a race?

Will the AI have any realistic behaviour or will they just hold their line and slam into you every time you make a legitimate pass?

I'm sure the game will be fun and all, but hardly a simulator by any stretch of the imagination.

Just pre-ordered the $300 edition...

I think I died a little bit on the inside..

same here, i get my license back on the same day of the release. though i wonder if its really worth it for 300? unless i win that merc ;)

first of all, have you played prologue yet? if not then you should as this will give you a bit of an idea as to what the general physics are like, but they have been improved a lot since then.

1: cars will handle reasonably realistically

2:yes you will have damage that will affect performance

3: don't think so

4: possibly

5: i doubt it

6: well considering that prologue has 16 cars in each race, i'd say, definately yes

7: supposed to be much better. they will try and go round you and over take you rather than just punching into you. i know from playing prologue that it is much harder to get faster cars to give you a punt to speed you up when you have a penalty.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
