Some of the guys over at Forza.net have a good camera eye, check out this GT5 shot one over there took:

Ah.... I see what you mean... I haven't really bothered with them this go-round.

Do you know if you can get a different car for each trophy? Or do you only get one car regardless? As in, if you get gold on the first try (is it even possible?), do you get all three cars? Or do you just get the one car at the gold level?

Good question... and I haven't the foggiest idea

True enough, I guess I should have said "typically".
That picture is pretty bad ass, but not mine. I really don't like how GT5's replay/photo mode is integrated together with no rewind/fastfoward option... you gotta hit pause at just the right moment for a pic like that.

Some of GT5's standard cars will be upgraded to premium models as PD completes more modeling.

Hopefully this will be free updates, and kinda confirms what I said before about PD biting off more than they could chew with the premium modeling.

Pinoy · 12-15-2010, 03:30 PM

Second update...

PD is giving cars away for Xmas

Quote:

First picked up by our own Amar212, SCEJ (Sony Japan) has announced that three free cars for Gran Turismo 5 will be available to download from the PlayStation Store on December 24th. The free cars will be “Chrome Line” editions of the Lamborghini Murcielago LP 640, Jaguar XJ13, and a BMW M3 Coupe. Keep in mind this news report has – so far – only come out of Japan (though Japanese gaming site AndriaSang rather confidently states that “Anyone with GT5 will be able to make the download for free.”)

Stay tuned for more details when they become available. Thanks to all who sent this in!

The Lambo and Beemer are the ones that came in the CE version so I already have them,but I'm looking forward to rocking that Jag

In case anyone is interested, C&D just did a comparison test of GT5 and Forza 3. I thought it was an interesting read from guys who beat the crap out of real life cars.

Forza offers more tracks overall and more real-world tracks than its PlayStation competitor, with Road America and Sebring among those not offered in GT5, although it lacks a course maker. Still, the tracks in Forza are rendered better than those in GT5, with more-realistic scenery. GT5 racers may notice that viewing replays from a high vantage point betrays trees comprised of two tree-shaped “panels” intersecting one another, like a set piece in a play. By contrast, Forza’s trees and surroundings seem much more three-dimensional.

The track depiction between the two games is very close, with only a couple slight deviations here and there. (As examples, some walls were closer to the track in one game or the other, and the crest on Laguna’s main straight was a bit more pronounced in GT5.) Going off track in Forza was less detrimental to vehicle speed and control (less realistic) than in GT5. Engines, however, sounded more authentic in Forza. I think the slight advantage in lap times in Forza can be attributed to the tire-wear issue in GT5, in addition to the care you must exercise with the throttle coming out of corners. It’s too close to tell if the minor discrepancies between the digital Laguna Secas played a part.

to me its all about the physics and gt is the closest thing ive ever experienced to driving in real life. I have the microsoft wheel and got the special edition of forza 2 and downloaded the forza 3 demo and allthough they are fun games, the pure driving experience does not compare to gt5

To be honest, Forza 3's demo was absolutely horrible as was Forza 2's demo. Forza 3 is considered to be many orders of magnitude better than the previous F2 though. I will admit from the few hours of playing GT5 at a buddy's apartment that I agree with almost all these guys said as GT5 isn't as easy, and thus had a steeper learning curve. I also hate the PS3 controller though..........

yea i remember the forza 2 demo was trash but i wanted a driving sim so i bought the full game anyway and it was a lot better than the demo. Ive heard the case is the same with the forza 3 demo.

Yeah, Forza does do environments and audio better IMO, and I agree with C&D on that.

Yeah, the Forza 3 demo was absolute garbage as well. It makes no sense to release a demo that gives people a bad impression about a game that you are trying to sell.
