Yeah, that's crazy... I mean, no power lumbar support... no power side bolsters... no power seat angle adjustments... no power reclining backrest...

OK, so I have the front seats from my old SHO, and I built some gaming seats out of them. Two 6V lantern batteries provide power for each seat, Sony 6x9 explode mounted underneath the seats, 1/4 horse motors with unbalanced weights provide the "rumble" feature. sick, sick, sick.
You know, I have access to a spare Mk3 shell, and I offered to have a friend of mine make me a Mk3 cockpit. Would have been basically everything from the passenger side of the console over, console, half the dash, Mk3 power seat, all the interior, etc... He liked the idea, but neither of us really has time to fabricate it, not to mention my room is small enough as is. If I had a house I probably would have done it. Maybe someday. Got pics of your setup Ron?

wow i impressed and not impressed at the same time
over all i think the game was just not finshed and was rushed out the door
I hear that man. Has ANYONE else noticed how many grammatical errors there are? Not to mention all the mistakes with power figures, year dates, etc... Go ahead, read the information page on the Turbo A from the dealer. If you know your Toyota history, you're gonna be scratching your head trying to figure out where all this came from...

For a game that's been in development for this long, I really fail to see how it could end up feeling this rushed. That said, the game's a blast, as always, and there is plenty to love about it, just kinda irks the part of me that spent 12 years in school learning the English language, you know?

As one game review put it, "this is a 10/10 racing simulator wrapped in a 5/10 game", which from what I've read sounds to be very accurate. As someone pointed already pointed out, the "track maker" feature is a big disappointment and it sounds like there are a ton of things outside of the actual racing that could have been done much better. It's really too bad that they spent 5+ years making the game without improving anything outside of the actual racing itself. I'll be buying the game eventually, but more than likely a used copy.

Yeah, I just finished setting mine up. Sucks that it's only a Standard car even though PD could've used the same 3d wireframe as the turbo-A. Also you can't change wheels on a Standard car, but at least we're not stuck with sawblades :evil2:

The latest update added more features to the online rooms. You can now set restrictions as to how much HP or weight is allowed. No more random players picking the default supercars when you're trying to get a garage tuned Supra race going.

I set up a room with the following restrictions:

- 1200 kg or more
- 450 hp or less
- 2 lap races

"450HP Invitational"

Perfect for pig mk3s or mk4s :icon_razz

I'll add anyone that posted tonight tomorrow.

I just picked up mine today (had to wait to get paid). Its pretty good so far, I managed to wrangle my money around enough to get a used NSX (in shallot green lol) as my first car for aspec races. It ended up being a little bit of overkill for the Sunday cup.

I agree with everyone here the game is a blast to play since I am a big fan of racing simulators. Here are some things that really irk me about the game though:

  • Engine sounds. While good and still a bit better than previous GT games they still sound very generic. I'm happy to see the sound changes with upgrades, but the sounds still do not pull me into the game like I think they should.
  • Menu structure/usability. This could have been improved, especially since PD gets a lot of credit for their "good" menu structures (i.e. they created the interface for the GT-R). For example, once I have a few cars and want to race with one, I have to select it as my current car and THEN go race. When you're trying to build credits and levels this just takes a lot of time.
  • As stated above, the brakes can't be upgraded except for the F/R distribution.
  • The head tracking (used w/ the Playstation eye) ONLY works in time trial mode. Seriously...WHY? This again seems like another last minute "feature" put in just to sell the game to a greater population. It's pretty cool when you're using it, but why would I need to check my mirrors when I'm the only one on the track?

Overall I think Cz quoted it best: "this is a 10/10 racing simulator wrapped in a 5/10 game". I still think it is by far worth my $60, but they should have been able to do MUCH more than great graphics and great physics in 5 years. That said, I'd still recommend the game and it's extremely fun to play since I enjoy the thrill of a good race with ALL of the nanny aids off (except maybe ABS in some cases ;) ).

If there was one thing I would have to applaud them for, its making a decent amount of smoke come out of tires when they're spinning or you're on a dirt track.

Your really saying forza 3 has less feel realism wise when it comes to the cars than GT 5? Have you played Forza 3? The cars in GT 5 just feel sloppy and most of them all feel the same.
