Gran Turismo 5

[Shojin]

I for one am glad they didn't put the rewind feature Forza uses in GT5, just knowing it was there took any amount of last lap tension/difficulty knowing in the back of my mind I could abuse that shit if I fucked up really bad.

those pics are amazing

Try the opposite of slow shutter speed and go for the 1/2000 or higher. I couldn't get the grass that was flying around during a crash on the picture either till I messed around with that 1/2000 thing. Kept the car sharp and I got the grass on it too.

Anything higher than 1/125 yielded 0 flame for me.

Really hope they patch that low-rez halo'ing effect on smoke/dust/snow particles over your car some day, it ruins some of the photos. ;/

That and maybe upping the shadow casting resolution for your own car so cockpit mode isn't full of jaggies.

Nice pictures from last night's destruction derby @ daytona. I think the whole "lets fly into pit lane in the wrong direction" and all of the sudden go full stop into the opposite direction was really lol.

And I finally bought my Enzo. Hurrah!

Yea I was dying last night from the 500 up a hill and the Daytona and the Night rain race

Need to do it again sometime.

[Kaisha]

If we do, need to do it with full penalties on lol.....match ends up being one guy in first, and the rest of us being douches and trying to ram each other off the road.

Picture of the Bugatti Veyron on Daytona course, love how they even implemented the braking system on the back.

You guys use the triggers to accelerate / brake?

I'm using the sticks. Took me a little while to get accustomed to but it makes control a lot easier.

Also: Fuck the B-Spec drivers. Making me want to snap the Dualshock more than the Licenses and Challenges did.

[Kaisha]

Trick to B-Spec is to give them cars that are OP for the race until they hit higher levels. Let them race ahead of the pack, tell them to pace down, then keep it there. It'll ensure their mental stability stays in the cool.

Really do wish we had extra options though. I'd like to be able to tell the driver to take a section more carefully (other than general pace down), and cutting corners harder.

That's what I do, or try at least. Assclowns can't seem to overtake anything properly, they corner way wide when there's anything else near and they brake way too soon.

Maybe I should re-roll until I get one with decent Corner/Brake skills.

First, the good news: Yamauchi announced at yesterday’s press Q&A session that many updates and patches will be issued at the “first of December” (though it wasn’t entirely clear to me if that literally meant December 1st or early within the month). Polyphony Digital has also posted this notice on their website to reassure us that the game’s online services will continue to be optimized and upgraded to handle the additional load generated by players around the world.

Unfortunately, I have very little else to report from the Q&A session. Sony organizers, sadly, cut the session short, and other press members overloaded Yamauchi with questions that ranged from off-topic to incredibly stupid (“What’s your favorite car?”, “Why aren’t there any Norwegian tracks in the game?”, “Why should people buy GT5 over other racing games?”). I stayed up until 6:00AM the previous night after the launch party, compiling questions for the event, and was extremely disappointed that I was not able to get answers to these pressing issues. Sorry, guys…

[Appie]

Made a car crash =D (though the Veyron behind me probably did most of the work)







It ended upside down a little later. Still pushing the throttle while upside down, then respawned on the track.

Love premiums for shots like this:
