Major update for GT5

[QUOTE="Snugenz"]

[QUOTE="2Chalupas"]

Why not use automatic settings and let the game/PS3 choose the optimal resolution? I learned pretty much right away it's a moot point to force the PS3 to upscale to 1080P when the TV will do the exact same job anyway. Usually if you try to force the resolution you might get unexpected results (i.e. some games if you try to force Ps3 to display 1080P instead of 720P, you will actually end up displaying 480P instead!)

I do use optimal and i play on a 1080p tv so it always chooses 1080p, which for some reason is the resolution (think it might be the AA) GT5 looks the worst in. 720p is just alot smoother for GT5. But optimal works perfectly for every other game so i'd prefer to set GT5 to 720p only and let the PS3 decide for the rest.

Get me?. :D

GT5 also looks better in 720p for me as well. Aliasing is not as noticeable and the horrid shadows dont look quite as horrid.

I was like that too but after 200+ hours I stopped caring about the shadows lol and returned the PS3 to the normal setting also seems framerate drops at 1080P were fixed long ago in one of the patches now the frame rate drops average when its 1080P is the same as it was at 720P or at least thats what I noticed :P.

sweet!! going to download it now

Just took this pic, it seems you have to have GT5 on to do it.

So all it took was 2 big patches and some other small ones to get this game they way it COULD have been at launch? Impressive, PD. Turn 10 had Forza 3 ready to go in 2 years, and it got AAA! Took you, what, 6 years... to release a game in an unfinished state...

Regardless, GT5 is a better driving experience. (I own both Forza 3 and GT5).

And the inferior game.

Apparently they snuck something else in. They cleaned up standard models a bit.

Awesome, they made the menus faster, and if you accidently hit "restart" in a race, it'll ask you to confirm it first!

Still looks horrible.

Totally

Not.

Nice updates.:)

It's awesome how PD are continually supporting their game post-launch :). I'll update later today.

And since GT5 can be played on the PC, it's no longer exclusive :P.

Lol, "Browser Spec". PD are def. citicized for releasing an "unfinished" game, but when the support is this fast and heavy, I can't complain. It's a long-term investment!

[QUOTE="heretrix"]I've been playing GT5 since launch and it is impressive the amount of support going into the game.

To each his own. I bought Forza 3 Ultimate edition a week ago because I Just bought an Xbox 360, and while I like it....something is off. I am playing it on the hardest mode (serious?) And its too easy. Plus the phsyics just feel off...it drives weird. The cockpits are meh...the tracks are meh. The only thing I LOVE about Forza 3 over GT5 is the customization and drag races. When I put GT5 back in, and looked at the premium cars (Ive only used them, I cant get myself to play with GT4 cars), its just insane. Ive spent HOURS playing with photo mode in GT5...its so damn realistic its addicting. The cars really do look REAL. But yea just the sense of realism from the cockpit views (compare the cockpit view of the 350z in GT5 to Forza, for some reason the dashboard in Forza is WHITE). Poly really dropped the ball with only 200 premium cars, but the cars it does bring, are insanely good looking. Its just a tough to play GT5 for months then go to Forza 3. Both are great games, but overall I like GT5 better. If both games got together and blended themselves that would be the perfect game.

IMO

Forza 3 PROS: Customization, Car damage is better, drag races

GT5 PROS: Premium cars are the best looking cars ive ever seen in a video game (inside and out), photo mode, driving physics are better, Replays look better.

Nice updates.:)

Any chance we'll ever see an update where they get the Porsche license? I want a Carrera GT

Wel, no wonder, GT could be the biggest PS franchise, they also wanna regain the gamers trust after the troubles with game launch.

[QUOTE="kuraimen"]I still think that scoring Forza 3 higher than this game is a joke.GreySeal9

GT5 was riddled with problems whereas Forza 3 was reasonably polished, thus the higher score. Why is that difficult to comprehend?

I think some of this stuff should've been in the game in the first place.

I would definitely install this right now but the only thing I have to do in A-Spec is either a 9-Hour Endurance Race or the Sebastian Vettel Challenge which I have concluded is impossible without a wheel :(

Maybe it would had gotten AAAE here and metacritic/gamerankings. 84%, really now, extremely disappointing, GT is turning AA at this rate if they keep it up.

So the crying used to be how the game took so long to come out.

Now the crying is they didn't take long enough to complete the game before release??

To prove my point, Forza games come out every 2 years and get AAAE with no problems.

GT5 is also graphically inconsistent, it looks better and worse than Forza 3 at times. It has better tech though to be fair, mostly.:P

Sounds like they want you to play it at work.tomarlyn

Which is a good thing, as long as you can keep other people from wondering why do you have a PS3 controller with you.

Should tell my cousin about this, he'd scream in glee.
