It's not really a limitation anymore per se, atleast with modern rendering techniques, but it can't be done very efficiently without wasting quite a bit of resources to make it look clean and sharp around the edges where the blur starts/stops and the car model begins.

But yeah, LFS smoke still can't be seen through fences for example even in the current version.

Nah, it just happens in pretty much all current gen console games, even in Forza and GT replays.

It's a bit tricky to get the shaders to perform motion blur in real time through glass with such limited resources that the 360 and PS3 have.

Been playing GT5 a bit after a year long break, started with a fresh savegame. Photo mode is surprisingly entertaining again.

I remember giving you a free game on Steam, that's why I'm wondering how come you're being so daft about it like you've never even used it.

Pretty sure it's late now as it sounds like you bricked the firmware, but did you try different USB ports? With Windows being wonky crap when it comes to USB controllers, it sometimes does wonders to try another port.

Warranty over here is 2 years, maybe ask your retailer if they've made a mistake regarding it?

I really hope they'll use steamworks for modding support, would be perfect to keep cars/tracks up to date.

It's been there for years, longer than I can physically remember.

Yes, you can manually up/downgrade versions. Have you even used Steam?

Quote from Bose321 :Also the auto-updates can be annoying. If there's something that you don't want or like, the developers are gonna push it to you anyway.

Say what?

Awesome, did they pass greenlight or manage a private deal with Valve?

Edit: Greenlit apparently.

The physics engine is obviously still the same old, just somewhat tweaked. It's as clear as daylight when those players lose the control and tankslapper off the track - car behaviour is EXACTLY the same as in GT5.

I'm paying 14€/month for unlimited data, unlimited speed. Phone calls/SMS are billed by usage, but who the hell uses such outdated technology in 2013 anyhow.

Arcade racing games can be fun (enjoyed some Dirt games and Grid 2) but this is just too... much.

I'll bite, for now, but atleast put some efforth to your trolling if you insist on it.

Why is PSN+ better than gold, is that even a question? New free games every month for one, 10-20% discounts on pretty much everything and it's cheaper.

What do you get paying for MS gold? Online multiplayer and Microsofts permission to pay (more) for Netflix access.
Matrixi

True, however unlike XBL gold, PSN+ is actually an awesome service and easily worth the subscription.

But yeah, I wish they wouldn't have forced it on people who don't want/need it. It's pretty much the only negative thing I can think of the PS4 at the moment.

Just ignore the dutch troll, Sony did alright this time around.

Quote from jibber :But seriously, mobile phones are the things you get for free like every two years when you renew your phone contract? The last time i've paid for a phone was like 12 years ago...

There's no such thing as a free phone really, atleast over here the phone companies will just bill you more every month with a bundled phone. Had an iPhone 4 on contract like that, hated being locked down to a single service provider, especially as their network was utter shit and my phone only accepted their SIM cards. Never going to do that again, rather single large payment and SIM unlocked phones from now on.

On topic: Pre-ordered a PS4

A bit "meh" ending in this season finale compared to previous seasons, and a long wait until S4 comes along.

Not at the moment as far as I know. Just wait for a free demo, you'll propably thank yourself for doing so later on.

Uncharted is pretty pixelated aswell, I don't think it's being run at native res to achieve 60 FPS.

Indie games have easily been the most fun so far on the Vita, they also don't shove mandatory touch screen stuff in your face like most of the big mainstream titles do. The damn device has buttons to avoid exactly that kinda crap which makes all phone/tablet gaming horrible.
Matrixi
S3 licensed
Yeah I know, but why waste resources on something that doesn't really need it.

Anyway, games look good and that's the important thing.

I'd hazard a guess that the decision not to do AA on home screen is to save battery life.

They're 3D icons and there's no antialiasing on the home screen for some reason.

From my Vita:

Totally agreed there Hyperactive.

If there ever was a TV show made for adults, I'd say GOT is that series. Not because the sex or brutality, but because the actual world isn't a place where bad people always lose and good people always win. It's not all black and white like so many bland hollywoody TV shows are, even the evil charecters can have some redeeming features.

I find the biggest problem in Forza to be the floaty/hovery camera, somehow it doesn't deliver the feel of what the car is doing or where the wheels are actually pointing at.

That said, the numb FFB in GT5 is an equally bad enjoyment killer.
