my flatmate bought it a few weeks ago.. he was less than impressed. so i had a good crack at it the other day. farkin rubbish.

but then when compared with gran turismo.. what isnt?

i find that when video game companies make an official licensed product like this, they seem to be relying mainly on the fact that its an official licensed and endorsed product of whoever they make it for, to sell it. and make very little effort to actually make the game itself any good. movies are a prime example, film companies will go and make movies, then someone gets the idea to make a quick buck by slapping together some horse shit video game based on any given movie, slap the name on it, ship it out, and if the movie does good then the game might sell too. but the game always sucks ass? anyone else ever noticed this?

F1 is kinda doing the same thing with the games market IMO. i've played several of them over the years and i've never been impressed.

see now i i get what you are saying. i love GT, and hate a lot of other racing games because they handle like crap. but then the older games like NFS were fine because the handling was that unrealistic that it was still good. then the NFS games started to try and get serious. i think pro street was the first one to go like this from memory. the handling on it was terrible.

yea despite being a mad keen GT bundy i still enjoy the old need for speeds. GT is for when you wanna take your racing seriously, with realistic driving dynamics etc. where as need for speed was fully arcade style, and designed to be just that, it was excellent in its own right. im talking about the likes of unleashed/unleashed 2/most wanted. i've briefly played prostreet thought it was crap though. maybe i needed to give it more of a chance.

i just cringe at games like forza that are blatantly aiming for gran turismo and fall so far short its a joke.

microsoft was obviously desperate to claim an exclusive "simulation" franchise of its own to steal some thunder from ps3, once they realised how much gravitational pull GT had when it came to selling consoles

If anyone hasnt played F1 Championship Edition, Hire it out and see how much better codemasters could have made it

If they had implemented the HUD and Official timing graphics etc I think it would have been much better. IMO the look of everything wrecks the game. It is not a bad racing game but its just been poorly presented. So if you look past all that I'd say most F1 fans would enjoy it

Updated it today.. I found it has made a world of difference!

However, I agree with the sentiments that it could've been so much more, I guess the good thing with GT5 is that when it is eventually released and in the belly of all our playstations, I doubt very much that we will be left wanting. Not too place it on so high a pedestal, but I think that Polyphony, unlike MOST other developers, will leave NO stone unturned in order to make the best game possible!!

as much as I think GT5 will be great

part of me thinks there will be a couple of people going..... "we waited all this time for this?"

It will be good I have no doubt, but with all the delays its been through. It would want to be amazing. But more then happy for it to exceed all expetations :D ill be buying it anyway

I think there will be a hell of a lot of people thinking/saying "we waited so long for this?" i will more than likely be one of them. i know it will be good, but for the ammount of delays it better give me a handjob everytime i play it

  • 3 weeks later...

Anyone think the update (about 3 weeks ago?) only made things worse

My game was fine but now I have opposition pitting twice on 20% race distance and instead of having my lap times each lap in the top left, Its now the total time and how far people are behind me?

Seems weird

I liked F1 CE and the ITV icons/timing etc. Much nicer

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
