Some are worse than others, I've seen a few that look horrendous, like GT1 running on an emulator or something :/

Im not even going to pretend I like it. Standard cars shouldnt look like this lol. They should at least be On par with Forza.

Does this spoil the game.... imo not really. Cars still handle / feel great!

So I'm happy.

Go to the XMB > Setting > Time and Date > Setup to retrieve the time/date from the internet

Obviously having such a wildly varying degree of car details spoils the game somewhat, but as I play bumper cam and don't actually see other cars that often after the first lap, it only ruins the showroom menus etc.

You'll need to change the daylight savings section as the time is probably already correct.

changed it to standard then set the clock manually to 9 am instead of 10 am just trying it in game to see if it works cheers ;)
 
Bumper cam is weird, I'm coming up behind a car and I will hit the car before I'm even close to it, super irritating and I need to learn how close I can get.

I miss Bonnet cam :(
 
I've always used bumper cam but I've started switching to behind the car view for the license tests so I can see my position on the track in relation to that of the ghost of my fastest run.

Seems to help but I took an hour last night to get gold on B5 which isn't all that encouraging. :s
 
New from the Madrid GT5 Launch Party

I just got in from the Gran Turismo 5 launch party here in Madrid – packed with media representatives from around the world, it was a fitting way to celebrate the end of GT5’s long and dramatic development. Here’s what I learned:

Yamauchi announced that the launch of Gran Turismo 5 marks the beginning of a “new era” for the GT series. GT5 will be regularly updated and expanded in the coming weeks and months, and there are apparently many exciting things in store for us.

The first United States GT Academy was just announced last week, and now there will be yet another GT Academy for SCEE regions! Stay tuned for the official announcement.

I had the privilege of personally meeting Kazunori Yamauchi. Having followed his work so closely for more than a decade, this was an amazing honor. I found him to be kind, friendly, and humble as he thanked me for my support of the franchise throughout the delays.

I was also fortunate to meet and talk with Kazunori’s infamous translator, popularly known as “Translator-san”. He was also kind and pleasant to talk with, and if you’re playing the US version of the game, he’s the one responsible for most of the English translations throughout the menus.

Why does Ferrari have the only F1 car in the game? While talking to a marketing representative for one of the manufacturers in GT5, I finally received an answer to this perplexing question. It all comes down to licensing and Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone. He commands control of the licensing for all of the cars in the series, with the exception of Ferrari. For reasons known only to Bernie and Ferrari, they have a special provision in their F1 contract which allows them to license their cars to whomever they please.

I chatted with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe executive James Armstrong, who laughed when I reminded him of his accurate prediction that Gran Turismo 5 would launch this fall (I picked up his comments to a newspaper in the Canary Islands thanks to a local tipster). He mused, “Really, I just got lucky that time!”

Take a look at this first batch of pictures from the event – I’ll upload more (along with video) shortly. Tomorrow, I’ll be participating in Kazunori Yamauchi’s first post-GT5 question & answer session. I have a lengthy list of things to ask, but as always I expect our time to be limited and I will prioritize them as best I can. Stay tuned!

Yeah same, it's like you are inside the bumper, quite poor really but hopefully fixable in a patch
 
So reading around the web it seems they released this as a work in progress and intend to patch it to completion?

I was going to head out today and pick it up but now im not so sure.
 
WOOHOO, my CE just arrived:D

Read my APEX magazine whilst waiting for the install, before playing with my ChromeLine cars...

Well worth £47:cool:

Yep I've noticed it was a lot slower this evening compared to this afternoon. It has to be doing a bit of syncing or something.

I think (though havent tested this theory thoroughly), if you say No to signing into PSN, the menus are a lot quicker.

Seems others have said the same thing, so it probably is true !
