Yep, Veyron's standard. Not a big deal for me, personally, but I can understand why it'd be popular. To me, it says a lot of good things about Polyphony and GT5 that the Fiat 500 is premium and Veyron's standard :D
I'm more spiffed that they didn't include the SuperSport. Now that, I'd be interested in driving.

@reckoner,
You should have used "spelt", not "spelled".

@newflesh,
That's not true. Gran Turismo 4 and Tourist Trophy both had 1080i options.

@JustSomeLog1c,
The definitive driving game doesn't have rain and snow effects, dynamic weather, 24 hours le mans and nurbergring, manager mode, WRC point to point rally, nascar, top gear, track creator, more than 8 cars on the track, large and varied car roster with everything from Fiat 500 to Red Bull X1 concepts? And lets forget the ridiculous detail in GT5's premium cars, lets forget the advanced racing physics and tuning options, lets forget the fact that's it's c...

Absolutely hilarious!
I am so glad that the Fiat 500 is premium rather than the Bugatti Veyron.
Although, the SuperSport...

GT1 was the legacy, GT2 the evolution, GT3 was probably my favourite, GT4 the biggest time consumer and GT5 is the gift to car enthusiasts.

Now as to which racing game I find most fun? Super Mario Kart SNES!

@oohWii,
That's a pretty steep hill, and remember it's a dirt track. I really doubt a real Fiat 500 (having a family member who owns one) would make it up such a hill. The problem is the traction, as he says in the video, the power of the engine isn't conducting well to the ground (it just skids). It's likely he's using full power, which will accentuate this. If you were to try with reasonable entry speed, moderating power to reduce wheel spin, and in a low gear, t...

Thanks for the post. I've been a GT fan since the original playstation game, I've now got saves of GT 1 through 3 with likely over 1000 hours of play time combined. GT4 for me was the first GT game I bought myself, and it remains the only game thus far that I've purchased within days of release (games are hard to come by here, I was luckily in SA at the time and payed about $100 for it). It was the first time I treated it really seriously, with a race win percentage of about 75% (...

Maybe because it's technically better in almost every way? 1000+ cars, tracks, course maker, dynamic weather, point to point rally, wrc rally, nascar, top gear, time of day (night racing), significantly higher detail on 200+ premium cars, better driving physics, more robust online experience, 16 cars in a race, exclusive cars such as Red Bull X1, F2007, F10, photomode... Forza 3 is a great racing game, considering the development time, but it just doesn't compare...

@Dirk Benedict,
Don't stoop down to the level of ziyad and such. Just make those of us who actually enjoy these games look bad.

@im-12-years-old,
It's interesting, I always thought that the fact that there was a lot of people complaining that there were too many Sony fanboys on N4G was kind of contradictory...

I mean, if there's many people complaining that there's too many Sony fanboys, what does that imply about the people complaining? :D

@sltPoison,
What, play both competing games on competing consoles for the best of both worlds?
Blasphemy! :D

Because instead they went for 1080p and almost consistent 60fps. The only times people have generally noticed a drop in fps is 16 car race grids, with rain or dynamic TOD. I'm pretty happy that they've pushed the bar, even if performance isn't quite solid.

Also, how is not including a few Skylines going to contribute to 300 extra premium cars? The reason you think it's not worth having so many Skylines, is because in your opinion, most are very similar, right?...

Whatever made you think that we care that you don't care?
Even though you obviously do, considering how you're going out of your way to post in GT5 articles, and almost always one of the first to.

@deadreckoning666,

PirateThom and Elwenil have it bang on (bubbles), if anything, GT has been criticised as too easy by its fans. The AI has been a problem in the past, although with 16 cars and the new AI, if Prologue is any indication this has significantly improved - the AI is the most challenging I've seen (which is very good).

Progress in past GT's has been very easy, often it boils down to patience more than anything else, but it's still rew...

Eurogamer: 5/10
Couldn't tell the difference between the game and the 24 hours Le Mans race on the tv, so I was unable to play.

@jeseth,

I know what you're thinking, but don't do it. Do NOT try to freeze yourself to make the wait go faster, you'll wake up 500 years in the future and have to deal with a bunch of atheists and crazy man seals. You can wait the 5 days.

Sincerely,

Portal 1 was included in the Orange Box with another 4 games. Portal 2 is a standalone release, it should be considerably deeper.

4968d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

Did you play Portal 1 at all? If not, give it a try. I've not met any gamer who didn't enjoy it. It's not like any other "puzzle" game you'll see, and the dialogue is absolutely amazing.
