That does look very pretty.

[Civpilot]

Indeed. Wonder how it handles & sounds though?

[Gun]

One thing I hope they get rid of is that annoying tyre noise from the previous GT games, its supposed to be a driving simulator but I've never heard tyres make noise like that as soon as you turn into a corner. This is going to have to be awesome to beat Forza.

[F.M]

I hope the engine sounds are upto the standard of the fancy trailers...gearbox whine does not cut the mustard for me. The Forza series & PGR have cracked it...the old GT3 & 4 were well below par...The TOCA series have proved it can be done perfectly on a PS2....unforgivable if they simply rip the old sounds onto the PS3 platform...

[-Z-]

Still has that GT trait of the cars seeming sterile as they move, too smooth, no visible suspension movement etc...

Yep, GT5 demo was stunning until you actually took control or openend your ears.

Polyphony need to just start from scratch with the sounds imho, re-using the same old samples and engine for them literally ruins a game.

Sound is just as important as graphics, and the sounds haven't moved on since GT2/3 at best...

Agree with the sound comments I just hope they get more Ferraris in. Are the Enzo, 355, 360, F40, F50 too much to ask? Some Lamboghinis, Konessgei (not sure how you spell it), Pagani's would nice as well.

Yeah, GT3 had three, ok they were all much the same, but having the full range was nice especially as the 7.3S commanded such a premium on price! Though all the gears were about 5/8ths too short which made them flawed for any stock car racing (ie, needed racing gearbox to go over 125mph)

GT Concept even had a blue one and a silver one! Nice.

Then GT4 goes to just ONE Pagani, in ONE colour?

I think Polyphony Digital need to get their act together generally. They have beautiful visual content wrapped up in dogshite UI/sounds/technical details... poor artists

They also need to make the tyre smoke into proper tyre smoke!

So long as the online gameplay is there I will be happy. I also think that the cars handled better in GTHD than that of GT4

[A1GOY]

I still ended up in the hedges though. But the cars handled perfectly into them.

[Timberwolf]

It looks lovely, but I want to see some gameplay footage. Sound is good but it's blatantly dubbed on and not coming from the game engine, watch for the Audi being hard under braking with the soundtrack still throttles to the firewall.

If they sort the sound and the question marks in the handling, get the cars to lay rubber and sneak the damage back in, it could be excellent.

If the sound and the handling don't get sorted, then meh.

looks nice

[plfrench]

Does look very nice - so much better than Forza 2, lets hope it plays well too.

I see there are more cars on track than previously...

Might have to get a PS3 sooner than I thought!!

Does look damn good.

The visual details must be straight from manufacturer 3d data, and then optimised for game engine use... I wonder what the workload really was per car now as I've had some mesh optimised CAD models of 120k polys of Porsches and they almost make the 3d modellers job null and void compared to what it used to be. No more texturing door lines/details, just extrapolate them using good procedures from manufacturer models...


I really just do hope that the same detail that is shown in the visuals is spent on the handling physics, sounds, game modes, AI and customisation etc...

What would be terrible is if the AI is not really intelligent at all, the cars have inaccuracies and handle weird in certain circumstances, and it's just a shiny looking turd again

I'm glad it's not just me that thinks about the lack of rubber on the road then ! I personally enjoy looking at the left over trail of rubber after you've just chucked several hundred thousands of pounds worth of car at the scenery !

I know I hope the the Zonda F in bare carbofiber finish makes it into the game along with the Merc CLK DTM AMG. What gets me about GT is that they don't have enough European supercars in them, it's just endless Skylines and shopping cars. Which is great becasue it allows you to drive cars that you may drive in the real world but you also want a bit to drive more exciting cars that you may usually not be able to drive i.e your Ferraris and Lambos and so on...

Those pitures are purdy...

[sstein]

They really need to sort out the handling, all the cars in GT4 if you turn off the TC/ASM etc all have more grip at the front than rear.
