So...after playing the demo it's obvious there is still A LOT of work to do.
The car model is top notch though! Aside from that, it's typical Gran Turismo style racing.

You should never say NFS and Gran Turismo in the same thread...

After playing and currently being ranked 298, I must admit it is meh. I am sorry to say but Forza 3 is miles ahead. So with that I will predict either we will get a mediocre typical GT, or it will be another 2 years while they make it better. The controls are not responsive enough, they are using either the analouge stick or x and [] for accel and brake. Yes this can be changed, which I did to the triggers but there was no real ability to accel and brake gently, unlike Forza which used the triggers and the softer or harder you pushed determined how hard or soft the car accel or braked.
I do not have a steering wheel. Last edited by EDfutura25; 18-12-2009 at 11:56 AM. |

The release date is March 2010, so if this demo does not grab your attention the full version wont have to many more differences.

Must admit thats one thing I like about xbox/forza, the trigger function. But as you said a steering wheel setup would fix that.
Funnily enough Ive always found using the simple control pad to be the easiest and im just as fast with it, I dont even use the thumb sticks.

I think the full game will be top notch, GT series always are. Vast array of vehicles, being able to modify them...Not to mention GT5 will be the first in the series to include damage.
I think the problem with GT5 is the hype surrounding it. Everyone is expecting much more.

I'm really enjoying it, just ranked 40th overall. The physics are greatly improved over GT5: Prologue

I'm not sure?
The demo download should be like a black/gray logo just saying GT5 Academy or something... I'd imagine if the GT academy promotion thingy is over, the demo would be pulled? No idea!

Oh son of a **********.
I downloaded some stupid teaser about how I could win a race drive or something..200MB for 57 secs! Damn it. Can anyone confirm if the playable demo is still available? Can you guys still race with the version you downloaded?

I was told on the weekend by a game distributor that GT5's latest delay was due to it being now made into 3d, for the new wave of 3d televisions that are about to hit the market.
