People need to get past the little imperfections, I was up till nearly 3am last night playing this, and I havnt done that with a game for years.
The driving physics are second to none imo. Favorite moment so far was going round the Nurburgring in a 300 SL Coupe '54 in one of the AMG special challenges.

Just curious, you played iRacing? Really want to know how they compare to each other :)

I'll of course reserve final judgment until I play it. But something is just seriously off with GT5.

I just saw in this video that the 800 odd standard cars have been imported from GT4

If true, I had no idea they had done that. And I hate to bring up AI again, but seems there has been no improvement, again...
Also interesting that he says without the premium content it's like playing GT4 again. So what are actually paying for here, 200 premium cars and variable weather at SOME circuits?

Now I'm pretty confused. Really, what the hell have PD been doing for the past FIVE years! It just seems like the game is all over the place.

On a positive note, this guy doesn't mention any issues with FPS or tearing.

Something just isn't right. If they have been working on this game solid for the last 5 years I'd love to know what they were doing as 80% of the cars are imported from GT4. With all the issues I have read about such as poor menu design and AI still being non-existent and the strange way the games release date was announced last minute, it sounds like someone has said "we have to get a game out now". So they took GT4 added what they had for the next GT game and called it GT5.

It's just inconsistent like to no other GT game before it. It's always had it's flaws which have got on my nerves for a game that is supposed to be a sim, such as poor AI no damage and poor crash physics. But what has been there has always been of a consistent high quality across the game. The same cannot be said about GT5.

As I have said before, compared to the standard set by previous GT games, this just feel unfinished. Did Yamauchi's desire for an insane level of car detail finally get the better of him? If they really have spent most of the last five years modeling 200 cars, I think that's quite ridiculous.

I sense a trip round the ring in a LOLvo :)

I retrieved the PS2 from under a pile of crap in a cupboard mid-week and did just that. Handily GT4 was still in the tray. Bought a beige LOLvo estate then added a large turbo for 240ish bhp. Standard suspension + all assists off = :D

dingbat... Been called a few names before - never a dingbat lol:p

Hmmm I really just hope for all those who've purchased a Ps3 for this that its worth it, or if not they can find something else to do with a £250 games console. £250 is a lot of money in the current climate..

I see cracks, but again I'll now wait until I have the game in my Ps3...

Who here has this game?

Think Rebel does... Rebel. What are your thoughts so far?

I really like it, its not perfect because of the tearing and standard cars, but it is very good. The cars feel very responsive and are planted on the road better than prologue or the time trial demo, which always felt like driving on ice to me. The online part of the game isnt up yet, hopefully it will be soon.
The a.i. isnt any different to previous games, you can easily outbrake them. But again this doesnt bother me because career mode is all about getting the cars to race online with.
