That was pretty funny. A PC can far surpass that level of detail.

PC is LOD King mate. PS2 and some consoles might have that very real look due to fine tuned lighting cause its all one graphics processor, but LOD remains on PC.

Sometimes thats all that counts.. hehe

And while the sound is only mediocre, we are not that used to hearing our "dream cars" bouncing off the rev limiter.. and there is nothing "nice" in a 9,000rpm V12 bouncing off the rev limiter..

The sounds we are all most familiar with are idle, and in-car at medium to high RPM levels.. not insane over rev levels.. which is where most video games put as you mash the gas like a mad speed demon.. not something you would do in real life too often eheh

Well, when you want to lose yourself in the "reality" - sometimes all that clinical "PC" reality isnt very real after all

Why its RF..

SO far all PS2 and PS1 titles I tried worked.. I dug up my old PC Logitech Momo FFB wheel, the one with the thick contoured rubber wheel and stick shift (only 200 degrees of rotaiton) but the good news is that its FFB motor is activated during really extreme turns.. so it actually works quite well with GTHD.

Did I already mention that the G25 works properly with GT4?

Today I removed the DVD player from the living room - Mr PS3 is going to do double duty from now on
Doh that is quite true. And here I am sitting here in this chair thinking it was something unique and had to do something with the color blue...

Hey since you removed your dvd player why not chunk out the computer while yer at it? Make your PS3 into an all in one. Install Linux damnit!!! I think thats gonna be the first thing I do when I get one maye during summer...hold that thought...GTHD first then Linux.



ZfrkS62 : I agree with you about that Mario Party thing. I just hope Sony gets their shit straight by Christmas 2007 or they will be fucked!


Downloading the video rite now RC thanks alot man! Looking at the Screenshot its a blue Ferrari. I saw a few pictures of a white Ferrari 599 in GTHD and it looked STUNNING! Also is there any difference in the exterior on the tuned 599?

Damn nice video RC!!! I like that recover you did. Also the driving after the 8 minute mark was just excellent!!! Another thing thanks for make a video of the car in every color. My favorite were the Yellow and White. Damn I just sound like a little fucking kid! lol

Much appreciated for the video man thanks!


*EDIT*

I also agree with everyone the Sound if just fucking awful!!! Thats the main thing that I see which this DEMO lacks.

*EDIT #2*

Regarding sound I heard the reason why the GT games sounds are not as good as others such as Forza or GTR or any other racing sims is because PD just have a car in idle and then just rev it slowly or something...rather than the putting it on the dyno. Dont know if this is true but sounds like a good reason why....to me at least.

Well - while reading the f'ing manual this evening, it seems that Sony support you upgrading your own hard drive.

Right there in the book it explains how to do it..

Takes any 2.5" SATA drive...

Makes the extra $100 for the 60GB drive seem oddly silly

Oh - and it supports Gigabit Ethernet - so no network bottlenecks either

That's actually very good to know for someone like me that planned on cracking the PS3 open anyway.
