Can't wait to try this out.

I want to get behind the wheel of that BMW 1 series.

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

I'm interested in that Lexus IS-F.

 

[SinEclipse]

I will try to keep this updated if I see it up as well. Right now its only 5:13 AM in Japan. I want to try the Lexus IS-F also and The Evo X.

GT5 PROLOGUE DEMO IS UP!!!!! I am currently downloading it now. If you have a PS3 and don't have a JPN account make one and go download it now!

 

[diablos991]

Damn. I will have to DL it after work.

Be sure to post back up and let us know how it is compared to the old GT-HD demo.

 

[SinEclipse]

I am now playing GT5 demo. The graphics is just amazing. The in-dash view is very nicely done. Engine sound has improve, you can actually here a difference in each car.
I notice that the AI improved very well. They still follow a race line but they are not directly in the same line. When I ram into one they actually get move into the dirt so they are not fully stuck in that line. The

I find it a bit harder to get first now.

In option mode you can clearly see that rumble is supportive.

This game is just amazing. The environment seem bleh at the moment i hope that is improve. The physics of the car is nicely done as well.

The Evo X handles very nicely

Found a problem with one thing it seem that the game have an Aliasing (sp?) problem. I hope that it does get fix in the final version.

It seem like 3 cars are locked and not sure how to unlock them but from speculation they are unlocked when the cars are reveal at the Auto Show and on the 23/24 that is when one of the car will reveal itself. Just you have to be log online so it sync with the News and GT-TV feature.

The second option in the race is physics. Pick the other option and that is the professional driving physics.

 

[diablos991]

The in-car view is amazing in this version.

I hate the in-car views in every other game except this one.
I noticed the AA issue as well. I really hope that gets fixed as it would make the graphical quality of this game astounding.

 

[SinEclipse]

I am glad that this game can run 1080p at 60fps. The game play very smooth, to bad the replay only does 30fps. That why when you watch your replay it is not so smooth.

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

The New GT-R is available with cockpit view. The ISF and Mazda are now driveable. GT TV is also working.

To bad I will never own this game or a PS3 for that matter. Looks like fun.
