Just to show you how accurate the cars in GT5 Prologue are now, look at these pics.The first 4 photos are from the game, the two pics after them are real and the last is again from the game, you probably won't believe me.

I swore I wouldn't buy it after Prologue but I'm getting slightly sucked in again

I might have to stick Prologue back on and see if it will download the updates without failing (as it has done on 3 occassions )

It's not confirmed Tidgy, the date was found by a forum user on Gamespot at Ebgames.There hasn't been a word from Polyphony yet, so more than likly not true.They wouldn't just mention it to one company and not tell the reviewers etc first.

For the first time, they have true competition in Forza. They better get their finger out.

X Games is like a special stage in a rally like the race of champions type thing
it was what Colin McRae was doing when he was in the states

I reckon GT5 will be towing Forza 3 to the garage to be honest spectrum.I'm not a fanboy i just think with PD implementing a never seen before damage model, physics engine and graphics etc how **** will they be the first time around for the PS3 exclusive ?.Regarding damage, would they make it so that every bit of suspension is visably damaged ( replicates damping, rebound, not enough suspension travel etc ), bodywork getting damaged by stones or rocks.I know how my attitude would be to making a new racing game.

Oh and regards people saying GT5 will be released soon, PDs Kazunori Yamauchi mentioned that in October 08.So how long to wait now is unknown, although he said we won't be waiting another 2 years.

I used to think the GT games were all excellent and bought every single one, I then bought Forza1 and realised i was wrong, I bought Forza2 and it backed up the fact i was wrong, then i bought GT5-P and i played it, turned it off and turned Forza back on even though i'd already been playing it for a year.

GT games are boring, couldn't care less how good it looks if its gonna be the same old crap with the same old crap controls via the crap PS3 controller.

Forza 3 has got Le Mans track and cars and will be out in October. It'll have in car views as well.
I've no doubt the much shat on PS3 owners will think it's the most awesomest game in the world eva and I really hope it'll live up to the hype and still actually be fun to play!

About the weather in GT5, i think it would be a good idea to get realtime worldwide weather reports from respected weather people and simulate them during the races.In real races they are called off if it's s**t weather, so they could implement this and have an option to turn off some aspects of it or turn down the harshness or something.What do you peeps think about this.
