I think that whats'r eally funny here, is the people that think that resolution will result in better picture quality at the cost of lots of bandwidth that could be better used for more shaders. Bungie made the right call not going 720p despite all the idiots complaining about it, since it allowed them to get more out of the ATi chip, as far as PD goes, i wish they would've gone further and just stuck to 720p to being with (or less if it meant more shaders.) » Login to reply to this

Actually they or we or I thought it was 1080i, not p. » Login to reply to this

It's definitely more than just an incremental upgrade in physics. The drift physics of Enthusia is still more realistic, but under "traditional" driving, GT5 is up there. The hardest part is that I'm not sure how confident I can be commenting on the physics of the game without actually haven driven the cars. With Enthusia and the older GT games, it was possible to compare the game to the real-life experience. The graphics update is amazing though. With a projector, you can get the cockpit hands to match in size to your own, allowing a fully immersive experience. » Login to reply to this  Kamus (110)   Oct 26, 2007 - 11:42 am | Edited on Oct 26, 2007 - 11:45 am I think it comes down to the tyre simulation, you still feel very detached to the tyres, you really can't tell when you're about to lose the car as well as you do in other sims. In EPR on the otherhand, you can tell exactly when you're gonna lose grip, you get lots of feedback for this. (nevermind the actual visual cues from the VGS, you can still tell by intuition.) Throttle control seems far more important in EPR than GT5 prologue (though, i have to admit this improved quite a bit from GT4.) I guess i was just expecting it to be at least on par with EPR. Overall i'm going to enjoy GT5 a lot, specially if they get the online aspect right. I really hope this isn't the final form of the tyre simulation, there's quite a bit of room for improvement IMO. Same goes for the sounds which haven't imrpoved at all, i think it's a tragedy that even an arcade game like NFS has more realistic sounds. Overall though, like before. there's not any game in the market that comes close to PD when it comes to overall product quality, that attention to detail can't be cheap. i wonder what their budget is. » Login to reply to this

Not so! The GT5 HD which was released some months ago used 720p but this is the Full Monty! » Login to reply to this  DrKeo (270)   Oct 22, 2007 - 12:28 pm actually, the developers them selves said that its "upscaled 1080P". » Login to reply to this  SteveNZ (421)    Oct 25, 2007 - 11:15 am Scaling from 1280 to 1920 is an awful lot of scaling with the vertical is remaining static. There isn't a huge amount of difference between that and plain old 1280x720 (720p) - I wonder why they didn't just render at 720p. Would've given them some spare CPU power. Audio in racing games is almost always rubbish. Maybe it's so they can support the people who are still using the speakers on their TVs for surround as opposed to those with bigass HT setups whos systems should be able to handle the sphincter rattling roar of race engines. » Login to reply to this  Cool.DK (193)    Oct 22, 2007 - 04:17 pm I have done some googling and it seems I was mistaken - sort of. Supposedly the game renders in 1280x1080 so it's scaled but only horizontaly. I guess it's had to since it's set to run at a constant 60 fps. » Login to reply to this
