Chamonix in the snow

Agree with the "damage is meh" statement, but my intention is not to crash!

I also wonder just how impractical all these weather effects make the actual driving!

Nascar gameplay

Anyone else notice the "portable garage" button in the car selection screen?, whats that about?

Just watched the course creation vid, and I am actually pleasently suprised at how customizable it looks.

At least you can "tweak" each section, rather than just making do with the random course it chucks out.

I can see me having quite a bit of fun with that.

Vitz is a Yaris right?, that'd work.

I don't doubt it will be fun, and I am perfectly aware that perfection isn't possible, but a cockpit, or at the very least, a bonnet view, does go along way to help with some sense of immersion.

As far as has been mentioned so far, standard cars have external cam, or bumper cam.

I think the standard exterior models are more than adequete, premium ones are bordering on overkill in the modelling department from what I have seen.

The biggest issue, for me, is the lack of cockpit, or even bonnet view, from the standard models.

Bumper cam, and external cam are massive immersion killers for me.

Quote from jibber :

GT5, 1000+ cars (with about 50 you'll want to drive). That's what they should print on the box.

Not half as good a sales pitch as "1000+ CARS OMFGZZZ!!!!"

Quality over quantity IMO.

The car list, showing the HUGE amount of standard cars makes me sad

I'd like to know how they choose which models to make premium, I mean, a bloody VW camper over a Veyron?, madness!!!

Gravity is still a bit squiffy, that Lambo has very little weight to it.

Not impressed with the damage in the 2nd vid....http://translate.google.com/tr ... sionen-in-Monza-798839%2F

Whats this "no customizab ... d cars" thing then?.

Some people are saying you can't change them, others are saying you can't "customized" them (whatever that means).

Anyone know?

According to rumours.........

Premium cars will be purchased from the dealership, and standard cars will be in the used car marketplace.

Am I the only one who thinks the "home" screen looks a bit of a mess?, its all hodge-podge, bits here and there, just looks a bit busy and messy to me.

Quote from sinbad :

I just really hope that ultimately, after however much unlocking and whatnot, you can choose any time of day, and any weather, on any track.

This High Speed Ring - High Speed Ring (rain) stuff is a bit troubling.

I imagine it will be like GT4, Track - Dry, Track - Rain (or wet in the case of GT4)

Interesting you mention Kymco, who make parts for both Honda and BMW

But yes, some products are made "for a cost", but just because its far eastern, it doesn't mean its bad, infact, Hyosung aren't a bad bike, especially the SV wannabe.

I think you'll find that a lot of components for bikes (and nearly every other consumer product) from other companies are actually out sourced and made in China, I think your view of far eastern manufacturing is a little outdated (dare I say xenophobic?).

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

They're not in the same league....cheap components, cheap finish, under engineered pieces of chinese rubbish!

Except they are Korean, but they are all the same ain't they

HOUSE!!!!!

I win!!!

Anyone else playing "LFS Forum Bingo"?, we've had a "is Scaven alive" and "LFS is dead" post in quick succession.

Seems to have been outed as a fake over at GTPlanet

Quote from Matrixi :

Seems like it was the real deal, my senses were right.

If that is kosher, they must be BLOODY quick to go from "going gold" to having a fully pressed, retail package in less than a week.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

Cagiva Mito Evo 125 or Aprillia RS125

Both will blow up in a few hundred miles, what some years and get a proper bike

New release date?

Ties in with the "month from gold" aswell as many retailers guessimates
