It is pretty tricky, I can't seem to manage gold for all tests myself. The slipstreaming was challanging at first..
Made me realise just how poor the slipstream in F1 2010 really is.
I liked the example replay with voice over, some useful tips there. you see, GT5 has these polished bits, and then bits that aren't completed. Like full weather for all tracks.!!
so GT5 is a game of what is there is actually quite decent, apart from the stupid "doink" noise you get when you hit car... lol I think the shadows are ok ish.. I can sort of see the flicker etc but to me its fine...
I was VERY surprised to see eurogamer award it 9/10. They seem to be so pro 360, not to fan flames..... So, reviewer must be a long time GT fan.
Anyhow, I like the game.
going to try and gold the licences myself to get better cars.
Thats why I'm now thinking what the hell went on behind the scenes a few years ago... What did they have in store for us.
They couldve at least had the standard cars look similar to the cars in Forza 1, 2 or 3.
Again it doesnt bother me much becase the game is great to play. Its just funny.
Nah you win cars when you do each license! The levels and amount of credits dictate which cars you get...
Aim to gold the early ones as the free cars at the start are really helpful! Later ones just make you look awesome
Yes! Takes about 7 or 8 attempts to get used to the breaking capacities of the car...

just won a go kart woooow 
Try to gold IC-1, the distance between too early and too late without crashing through the cones at the end is about 20m, going in excess of 130mph. Absolute perfection will net you the gold.
EDIT: Scratch that, It is more like 5m

i didnt say that at all though did i, please read what i am saying not once have i said shadows and textures = failer.
however i agree with your other comments regarding cars and timescales.

karts are fab.
Isn't the PS3 GPU weaker than the 360 one in certain ways? Perhaps it's obvious in cases like this.
That is the Aston Martin one right? That's the one I'm really struggling with. What do you have your ABS set to?
I think you might be right, Sony added the extra CPU cores but most developers don't use them, and develop for GPU instead..I'm fairly sure this is why 360 ports to PS3 suffer....
PD normally squeeze every bit out of the playstation hardware, but if the GPU can't handle it, then no matter how hard they try it will not look as good as something that can.. Hence 360 does have better looking shadows etc..
PD could either leave the shadows or add them and do the best they could. I noticed the shadows in the dash when in car, and they do flicker and have less AA etc... But its not a show stopper and I didn't find them ugly - just not as refined I guess. Each to their own.
does any track have brake marker boards? maybe I am blind but have yet to see any
Monza? Pretty sure Monza had some when I was racing around there last night... Monza in GT5 looked REALLY nice I thought.
That or the Devs arent up to scratch....
Please dont turn this into a 360 v ps3 war.
I thought this forum was full of grown ups lol
Theyre that fast in real life lol.
Ive been rye house a few times and Palmer sport once. 60-70mph is the norm for standard karts!
I've just left it at default for all of them. Perhaps I can tinker the settings to get the required gold time but the margin for error is so tight at default it is bat **** crazy
