GT5’s SHIT FLOATY-CAR PHYSICS
This looks rubbish.
PLEASE NOTE: We’re not being needlessly picky or all cool or anything just because it’s by Sony, but floaty cars that don’t move about on their suspension and stop dead upon contact with walls look very, very, very poor in this day and age.
It has the look of a boring game that hasn’t been done very well, that’s all.
But yes, the cars are very shiny. Well done on spending three years doing that, Polyphony.

Still can’t be arsed to implement a proper damage model I see. Thank God, I’m scared of change too, Polyphony.
September 28th, 2009 on 5:49 pm
It looks, moves and sounds like some kind of fucking wind-up toy.

Well, at least they’ve shown that trying to play a racing game using that over the bonnet angle that you always see in racing game adverts turns pretty much any game into unplayable shit.
Very brave of them. I know he’s intentionally crashing it but who cares? It makes the game look shit. I guess if you were a cunt you would call that a self “pwn”

There’s still a lot of nasty looking 2D trees in the backgrounds there. Someone’s been using all the polygon budget on the cars again…
September 28th, 2009 on 7:08 pm
The cones and signs in Daytona spent a more realistic amount of time in the air than the barriers in that video.
If it looks and feels wrong then there is something wrong with it.
September 28th, 2009 on 10:20 pm
It’s almost cute. Like an old toy you dug up from an old box in the corner of your basement and let it run again just to see how it fares. And then it makes scratchy sounds and moves around helplessly on its almost fully dry batteries that briefly spark up again with a bit of life for but a few seconds.

Remember when Forza 2 came out and all the Sony fans were going “GT5 will be better!”?
Now Forza 3 is coming out and it’s still “But GT5 will be better!”
Let’s face it, GT5 is never coming out, its sole purpose is to exist as a bunch of pre-rendered “screenshots” to make PS3 owners feel a bit less ripped off about seeing all the good games on other consoles.
Sony learned their lesson with Metal Gear 4, which enjoyed far more success in the years before it came out as a catch-all retort to xbox release lists than the disappointing product that was delivered briefly onto retail shelves before falling into the bargain bin.
September 29th, 2009 on 3:13 am
this isn’t even good trolling, zorg :(
i know that you would only ironically stoop so low as to judge a racing sim by how realistic the collisions are, right?
September 29th, 2009 on 3:55 am
When it’s being advertised as ‘The Real Driving Simulator’, all of it’s hype is based around its ‘realistic crash physics’ and ‘damage modelling’, and all articles about the game are about how they’ve amazingly acquired real cars so they can custom-tune the game so the cars drive exactly the same in-game as in real life…
I think it’s safe to say that the end result looks a bit shit.
To compare, it’d be like a new Sega Daytona game announced, only to find out the game itself played like a realistic Nascar simulator. That’d be a bit shit too.
GT5 was expected by everyone to, at the very least, be based on real driving, even though everyone would probably admit that’s a boring angle for a racing game. When it ends up playing like bumper cars and yet STILL manages to come across as the dullest game in the world, it’s incredible that it still manages to generate any hype whatsoever.
September 29th, 2009 on 3:56 am
quash, for a game that has spent this long in development? and is supposed to make use of the ps3’s revolutionary cell architecture? he has a very good point. it could be SO much better.
September 29th, 2009 on 4:51 am
Forza Motorsport 3 has better physics, we know that. :-)
September 29th, 2009 on 7:49 am
What happened to you, UKR? You used to be all about the tits.
September 29th, 2009 on 8:39 am
Who’s driving that car? Marc Bolan’s missus?
September 29th, 2009 on 9:09 am
OK, that looks shite.
I’m left with hoping that the spectacle of some clown crashing into everything ISN’T the best way to demonstrate the game, but I still wish, if Polyphony was going to implement poor crash physics, that they hadn’t bothered at all. At least then they could claim that they weren’t interested…
Zorgs poke at the lack of suspension movement is a bit low, though. It’s a Ferrari. You can see the suspension moving a bit, and that’s all you’d see. It’s not a fucking monster truck, after all. Low suspension movement is one of the ways of maintaining control of the mass and movement. Hating Sony is all good and right, but surely everyone here isn’t claiming that they prefer the Hi-NRG slo-mo crash porn of most ‘racing’ games? The wheel-cam shots where the suspension on an Impreza has apparently 18″ of travel because it makes it look dynamic, dunnit? And quick! Find a way to fit an Xtreme sports guru and some Nu Metal in! Seriously, fuck all that!
With real racing, non racing fans are only interested when there are crashes. For instance my Mum enjoys a good pile-up in Formula 1; but I’m glad that someone still considers making racing game for people who like racing.
It’s just a shame that this one appears so half arsed after such a monster development. Might have to seriously consider Forza…
September 29th, 2009 on 10:21 am
I just can’t see a single reason why I’m supposed to want to play that or be excited about buying it. Am I supposed to want to play it because the car models have very detailed interiors? Is that really the only big selling point?
I don’t understand how Polyphony has been allowed to take so long and produce something so unremarkable.
Mr Hirai ought to have been kicking their doors down two years ago demanding to know why the FUCKING CODE isn’t FUCKING FINISHED YET, not meekly giving them another couple of years to finish hand-drawing the stitching on the dashboards while PS3 sales drift ever lower.
Can you imagine how hard people would be laughing if Microsoft still hadn’t released a Halo game on Xbox 360, or if Nintendo told us Mario Galaxy might be finished by next spring?
I’m angry on behalf of PlayStation3 owners, that’s how bad the GT situation is.
September 29th, 2009 on 11:34 am
I’m fucking depressed about it, really.
I’ve been shaving hundreths off my GT laptimes for years, done (probably literally) thousands of laps on GT4’s Nurburgring, beaten everyone who’s ever fancied a go. Taking my patiently earned skill online was pretty much the last ‘gamer’ type thing that I had any ambition for, but Sony have essentially shat on it. I can’t even USE the in-car view to enjoy the stitching, because I’ve got a Logitech wheel, and seeing two steering wheels is weird. Not to mention crap.
As Sgt. Murtaugh says, “I’m gettin’ too old for this shit”. Maybe it’s time to give it up entirely, accept that the PS3 is just a Blu-Ray player, stop looking at gaming sites, buy a brown cardigan, some comfy slippers and a Toyoto Corolla. And a pipe. Yeah. A pipe. Thanks Sony.
Maybe they won’t screw up The Last Guardian? (I can’t abandon it completely, see?) :(
September 29th, 2009 on 11:53 am
I’ll admit now that I’m not mad keen on racing and will quite happily cheer “Bring on the wall!” like Dale Winton whenever I see footage of Ayrton Senna, as I prefer the excitement of the crashes to the ‘real’ racing.
Real proper serious racing is for personality-bypass types like Nigel Mansell et al. When you get into accurate simulation territory rather than adrenaline fueled racing experience you start getting into dull facts and figures and physics and yawn yawn yawn…(Not that I’m saying I prefer stuff like need for speed underground/midnight club, they’re just as boring with their tediously accurate portrayal of a racing genre that I’m sure doesn’t actually exist outside of the ‘fast and the furious’ film franchise)
Whilst I’m aware most racing fans prefer to see cars stuck rigidly to accurately modelled tracks rather than flipping end over end along a beachfront like the outrun ferrari, you have to admit that the ‘crashes’ shown in the vid above are just pathetic, even for a ‘serious’ game…
No idea what speed that car’s supposed to be going but must be at least twelvety when it hits the wall.
And just stops.
Regardless of how great the suspension is, Badben, I would’ve thought that, in accurately-modelled-car-world, the front end would’ve dipped a bit? Maybe, even on a (non-outrun) ferrari, a wheel might have become unglued from the road surface, if only for a fraction of a second? A slight rebound maybe? Even Papyrus’ Nascar Racing back in 94 was better than this…
Seems to me GT5 doesn’t know what it wants to be – is it an arcade racer where you just glue down the accelerator and bounce off every corner/opponent on your way to the finish line or an accurate real-world driving sim (where physics takes a little holiday as soon as something impacts with something else?)
Also, is that footage from PS3 or PSP? I honestly thought we were still talking about that PSP version there were updates about recently
September 29th, 2009 on 11:55 am
Oh, and may I recommend a saloon with an automatic gearbox, a flat cap and a tank top while you’re at it Badben?
Worked for me at least ;)

But Giger! It did know what it wanted to be! It didn’t want you to crash, that’s all! It was never about crashing, a spin (or a slightly missed apex for that matter) means ‘No personal best this time’ and that’s basically the appeal if you’re a boring driving nerd. Which I am. So I was fine with no crash modelling. The shouty fucking fanboys forced them to include it! AAAaaaAAAaaAAaaaAArGH SHITS BOLLOCKSARSE FECK MINGINGPECKERHEADSAARRGH
Listen, doesn’t anyone else think it’s shit (and an indictment on the games press) that the only clips of GT5 seen so far, for potentially one of the finest driving games ever made, have been EXCLUSIVELY of cynical journos crashing into everything in sight and saying ‘look how shit that is’. Well, ok, it IS shit and I AM disappointed, but that doesn’t change the fact that hitting things is still not what the game is about, despite Polyphony’s craven pandering to nu-metal twats. The game would have been greatly improved by decent collisions and damage, I fully accept, but if it couldn’t be done well it shouldn’t have been done at all.
And I’ll leave it now; genuine passion about games seems a bit out of place here; I’ll get my satirical ‘Amy’s poo’ concerned head back on in a minute, no doubt.
I’ll go get me flatcap
September 29th, 2009 on 3:52 pm
Lets face it, GT5 is all about car porn. Nothing else.
Forza 3 says they will release with 300 cars or whatever it is. GT5 is releasing with umpteen billion cars which will be variants of each other granted but even with those 300 Forza cars I’m only ever going to drive about 10-20 of them because they are the ones that get the job done. The rest is for show and achievement points.
*Numbers may not be exact, I offer no refunds for inaccurate information or statistics.
September 29th, 2009 on 4:20 pm
If this is what they call crash modelling then I don’t really know what to say. If they think this is acceptable to either camp (i.e. the accurate racing nerds or the arcade crash-mad kiddies) then they’re going to have a hell of a wake-up call.
And if they think that’s acceptable, then what other horrors have they spent 3 years dawdling over?
Honestly, have they been hanging out with 3D Realms or what? Moonlighting making DukeNukem Karts?
Need for Speed: Heart of Darkness?
Bandersnatch/Psyclapse Street Racer?
Anyway, you think you’re angry, I’d imagine it’s similar to how I feel about how the Burnout series has ‘progressed’ – that used to be about actively AVOIDING crashes (but looked spectacular when they inevitably occurred) and once EA got their claws into it it turned into ram-everything-in-sight…
Regarding amount of different cars in games, I’m not going to be happy until you can have a Blue Morris Minor. With accurately modelled drum brakes so you have to book your stops a week in advance, nasty sphincter-tightening downhill slopes with crossroads at the bottom and a 2-foot-long gearstick that shakes violently at 70mph (followed by steering wheel and dashboard at 80)
And they’re never going to include any of that, are they?
Still, as you say, there’s always Forza 3 – and at least when that comes out I can pinch the young’uns copy of Forza 2 and spend a few more evenings idly doodling on cars, haven’t done that since he last insisted I play it (And I spent 2 evenings solid drawing a tachikoma on a ford focus rather than actually driving)
September 29th, 2009 on 4:44 pm
Shit and floaty… A perfect description for the pro-Sega, anti-PlayStation site that is UK:Resistance.
Get over it you lot, you’re twice as biased as SonyDefenseForce.com and only half as funny.
“Sammy Sega” is the sewer-thrown dredges of yesterday’s left over coffee compared to what was once a cool company that had good games.
Grand Lord Kazunori Yamauchi has stated that Gran Turismo 5 is 65% complete and the damage model is not only a work in progress, but still needs a lot of work doing.
You lot are a bunch of idiots to be mouthing off about it *now*.
September 29th, 2009 on 5:33 pm
Do they still make Gran Turismo? Wasn’t that a famous game on the PlayStation 2? I’ve also heard that Sony released a follow-up console that tanked, but I’m a bit out of touch with Sony since I follow the gaming press.
September 29th, 2009 on 5:43 pm

Really couldn’t comment there as never been there and have no reason to. You obviously have and by the sounds of it you prefer it so why you’d want to come here to cause trouble and have your comments belittled I have no idea. Bit of a Napoleon complex maybe? Can’t think of any other reason why you’d want to spend time stirring round here when you could be nuzzling up to them instead.

O-kaaaay, and you posting on a site you yourself describe as “pro-Sega, anti-PlayStation” would make you what, exactly? Blinkered and overly defensive at the very least I would’ve venture. You’re pretty much admitting there that it looks shit, just trying to add mitigating circumstances to explain why it looks shit. Anything to try and reduce the embarrassment you currently feel for what’s being touted as your flagship brum brum game, eh? You’ve waited so long (and looks like you will be for some time to come) you’d look like a bloody idiot if it turns out to be shit, wouldn’t you?
65% complete? After how long? What have they been doing? Did their dog eat their homework or what? Shit, you think, I’d best get on some of the (many) sites that are bad mouthing it and blindly try to defend it or I’ll look like an arse…pissing in the wind a bit when it’s still at least 35% away from completion (barring unexpected setbacks) aren’t you?
Surely better to wait until it’s released and you’ve actually played it and then, if it’s any good, then defend it? Though, as Malorie pointed out above, along with your ‘Grand Lord’, that could be a while, by which point we could all be drawing our pensions.
Oh, and I don’t think Rex was confused with Sega games, think closer to the truth was “GT style car games fans stopped being popular in 1999″
September 29th, 2009 on 7:37 pm
@ LordVonPs3 No-one cares but you and the other 3 guys on your blog. And they’ll soon go once there ‘big boy’ hair starts to grow. Shit, by the time this game gets released I’ll have paid for my house! Roll on 19 more years.
September 29th, 2009 on 7:50 pm
Tell you what, I’ll make you a deal. If you disappear until 2014, I won’t say anything more to you until then!
Forza 3 clearly has some improvements over Forza 2, however, it isn’t anywhere near as fabulous as Dan Greenawalt claims it to be. It seems that Turn 10 may have been hurried by Microsoft to get Forza 3 released with all the speculation that GT5 would release at the end of 2009. That has now backfired… Not that Forza 3 won’t sell – it will sell, but Forza 3 could have used another 6 months of polishing as videos on the Internet are now proving. Bugs & graphics glitches to start… The graphics could use some significant improvements too – the in car dashboard views are tacky – bordering on horrible.
While GT5 is taking its time, the quality of the game is consistently being improved. PD takes the necessary time to do a great job and I’d rather wait another 6 months and have expectations met rather than a hurried release – which is what XBox 360 fans are getting with Forza 3. Too bad.
GT5 is progressing nicely and I’m convinced it will be the best racing and driving game on any console to-date.
September 29th, 2009 on 8:17 pm
I think someone’s upset that they’ve wasted their money on something pointless and is trying to justify their actions to people who don’t give a shit.
Has the Gran Turismo Forever joke been done yet in here?
September 29th, 2009 on 8:28 pm
The series went downhill after Motor Toon Grand Prix 2. Deep down in the hacked-up code of GT is a Mario Kart clone.
September 29th, 2009 on 8:29 pm
Wow you really care about GT5! I’ve had more excitement on Daytona USA than all of the GT combined.
A brief history of Gran Turismo
1997 Gran Turismo – Wow its shiny and there are real cars! (View from 2009: Why did we make such a song & dance about this? Its dated badly)
1999 Gran Turismo 2 – Wow there even more shiny! The arcade disk tries to please everyone. The rally part is dull
2001 Gran Turismo 3 – I’ve waited ages for this, oh wait its abit dull. Still got hundreds of alloys to wank over!
2004 Gran Turismo 4 – Anal
2078 Gran Turismo 5 – I’ve died waiting.

Nah.
* GT3 A-Spec was released (JP) April 2001.
* GT4:P was released (JP) December 2003.
* GT4 was released in (JP) December 2004.
* GT4 Online was released in (JP) June 2006.
* GTHD was released in (JP) December 2006.
* GT5:P was released (JP) in December 2007.
* GT-PSP will be released in (JP) Oct 2009.
* GT5 is due in (JP) March 2010.
That’s 8 different types of release. 4 complete / full games spanning 9 years (which averages as a new game every 2 years).
It’s only if you take GT4’s release in Japan that you might say GT5 has been 5 years in the making, but the truth is PD spent the next year working on PS2 online and only then started with the HD vision in 2006 – which was 3 years ago.
I think the problem here is idiots like you choose not to understand. It’s you lot that’s blinkered.

What a sad, bored, tired-of-waiting-for-GT5 queer soul you are.
“4 complete / full games spanning 9 years (which averages as a new game every 2 years).”
Worth noting that GT PSP is a dumbed-down, ugly as sin GT4 port, and GT HD Concept is the “alpha” to GT5 Prologue’s “beta”. So it’s really just three games over something like 9 years, which makes it one game per three-year cycle.
And hey, I wonder how will “Our One and Only God Kazunori Yamauchi” manage to finish 35% worth of game development in just six months (actually it’d be something like four months if the March 2010 release date is to be honoured, due to game discs’ production and stuff).
September 29th, 2009 on 11:53 pm
Forza can have a few graphical glitches, because it’s actually going to release next month, not next year.
And I’ll sit there painting my own cars and playing on Fujimi Kaido and the Amalfi Coast tracks whilst you play new versions of the tedious Trial Mountain and R241 or whatever the fuck it’s called.

No, tell you what – we were here first, you piss off until 2014 or until you’ve realised what a cock you were standing up for a game that wasn’t even finished at the time. Alternatively, we could always register at your thrilling brum-brum forum and start arguing there about stuff no-one else there would care about?

Well, either you’ve obviously you’ve not bothered reading anything I wrote (and probably other people’s posts too) or you’re one of those really boring car nuts that can’t talk about anything else and can only be diverted away from talking about cars if it involves talking about different car games or similar car-related things. Guess you didn’t even notice me mentioning the only thing I did in Forza was fiddle about painting a car rather than driving? Ah well, nevermind, guess reading’s not your strong point.
Oh yeah, and I’m not even going to bother asking who this Dan bloke is and why I should care what he says because I can tell I still won’t care even if you tell me. I gave up believing what anyone in the games industry spouted long ago and you can blame Peter ‘Captain of the Bullshit tanker’ Molyneux for that.
“the in car dashboard views are tacky – bordering on horrible”
Cue Homer-style precocious handbags-at-dawn little dance:
Ooooooooo-oooooh! The dashboard views are horrible!!
Whoopdefucking do. What a total disaster.
What kind of prick bemoans the state of imaginary dashboard of their not-real car? Oh yeah, that’s right, you do.
You prick.
Go play a game or fuck off and be a driving instructor. I rather suspect that if you’re not a driving instructor, longing to be a race-driver or, fuck it, even something at least slightly more rock and roll, like say, bank teller or network engineer, you’ve harboured ideas of being one. You strike me as someone whose whole life revolves around metal boxes on wheels that you obsessively drool over, when they’re actually tools for getting from place to place while saving wear and tear on shoe leather. Do you have any non-car-related hobbies? Or do cars somehow work their way into everything you do or say?
I’ll say it again as I’m finding it most enjoyable at present.
You prick.
“GT5 is progressing nicely and I’m convinced it will be the best racing and driving game on any console to-date.”
That’s right, just keep on slurping down that corporate bullshit like a good little empty-minded consumer. They’re never going to fuck you over, they’re Sony – and you buy Sony and are loyal to them to the point of complete and utter folly, so you’re one of them, right? They love you like you love them, yeah?
Wrong. You are an insignificant little prick that they will squeeze for all the money they can get out of you. As an individual you don’t even figure on one of their boardroom charts. If it serves their purpose of getting money from you quicker, they’ll sell it before it’s finished and then charge you again later for an updated patched version, possibly with a different number or obscure word in the title.(and yes, for the hard of thinking, I mean ‘prologue’ there)
“Don’t venture too far from here, it’s better if all you idiots stay in one place.
Y’know, until this post I think I’d been fairly polite (for round here anyway) and figured I was just raising some valid points, not quite sure what I’d said in any of the previous posts that would mean you could validly call me an idiot, other than the fact I’m reading stuff here (going by your logic there obviously).
But then, if that’s the logic, you’re here reading this now, so…
Of course, I say you’re reading this but then, when I say “GT style car games fans stopped being popular in 1999″ and you respond with:
“Nah.” followed by a load of guff no-one here’s interested in about all the different names the franchise has released, it’s obvious you’re not reading or you would have seen it was a thinly veiled insult back at you, implying that fans of GT-style games were unpopular, not the games themselves. I thought it was far too obvious a gag/insult personally but figured it was too easy a gag to throw away – I guess maybe it was a bit over your head and so I should simplify it further and just call you a cock? Sorry if that seems somewhat patronising but you’ve obviously not realised how bad things must be in your life to find a group of Pro-Sega/Anti-Sony sociopaths talking down to you.
I’m not sure what’s worse, the fact that this update is followed by one where Zorg wonders about a cartoon female hedgehogs bowel movements or the fact that you thought it a good idea to argue about an as-yet unfinished, let alone unreleased game that you have no real hands-on experience of on a site that has posts wondering about cartoon female hedgehogs bowel movements.
Oh yeah, and just in case you were wondering – “being patronising” means to talk down to someone in a condescending manner, as if they don’t understand and you’re superior to them, ‘k?

Gigerpunk – I wasn’t popular in 1999 either. You can’t take from me what I never had, but you’re excused the attempt anyway for leading me to flatcaps.

GT6 is going to blow this piece of shit away! Sony rules.

LOL @ GigerPunk and your rant that I didn’t bother to read all of. You are a bitter knob jockey. Couldn’t care less if you hate Sony, though I hope Sony hates you back!
@ 41. You must be mistaken as I’ve never commented about the PSP or GT-PSP. Feel free to visit GTPlanet.net and post Daytona USA videos, or better still Sega Rally videos – as long as they’re from the Saturn ’95 version.

It’s safe to ignore anything posted by LordVonPS3… he’s a known rabid fanboy on the C&VG forums and news stories where any comment that even REMOTELY has a dig at his bum-chums Sony is treated as if you had not only raped his mother up the arse, but then had the guts to wipe your dick on the curtains afterwards.

@ Sonic’s testicle.
How’s it feel to be cut away from your main man now that his castrated franchise has been 3D butt-fucked? Shame.

Who’s doing the PR for 3D Butt Fuck? I should get a review copy.

How do you feel about there being more gaming enjoyment in one gonad than we’ve ever seen in the Gran Turismo series?
Millions have had enjoyment from Sonic games, even the duff 3D garbage Sega have thrown out for the last few years, whereas there are millions who have played Gran turismo and wondered what the fuck all the fuss was about… shiny yes… fun no!

@ LordVonPS3.
You really need to get yourself laid, pronto. Wanking furiously over GT5 has obviously made you blind to how crap it looks so far… :)

lol at LordVonps3 being all butt hurt and doing damage control. Oh boy. Really Sad. Its even funnier because that Sony Defence Force site is made as a joke to make fun of PS3 Fanboys, and it’s working. Doesn’t really take a lot to make fun of them frankly speaking. Oh and read this and weep LordVonPS3, and this article is actually written by a GTFan. As they say in the internet terms, PWNED.

Coincidentally enough, Destructoid has a pretty good comparative of typical fanboys and LordVonPS3:

You do realise we don’t live in Japan right? Typical Sony argument. PS3 out sells Xbox 360 by loads in Japan. Thats great but who gives a shit, I don’t live there.

You know, what really pisses me off with this GT5 shite is that everyone keeps saying (well the fanboys anyway) that it’s just like driving the real thing.
Well as someone who drives one of the cars used in GT5P, let me just tell all you GT5 lovers, the Focus SVT (ST in the UK) is FUCK ALL LIKE THE REAL THING!! It looks wrong, it sounds wrong, it feels wrong… how much more wrong does a game have to be before it has the “simulator” removed from the title? And if that car is wrong, then why the fuck should I believe that the others are right?
My Focus does 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds, I’m not convinced I ever got to 60mph in GT5P because it always felt like I was doing 30mph.
Whoop-di-doo, so the graphics are pretty… it’s a frigging game, not a fucking video show. And believe me, come Saturday, it doesn’t look a patch on the REAL LIFE WTCC in HD (or real life for that matter). If I want to WATCH cars, then I’ll watch real ones.
I can’t wait to see them get the 30 cars on track that they showed in the Sonycon07 video of GT5, seeing as they can only just manage 10 on the track now. I tell ya… “used games” were designed to allow people to buy games like this, and ensure the lazy arsed devs get fuck all in return.
And people don’t seem to get this “damage modelling” thing. Yes, you’re supposed to avoid crashing, but real racing is very rarely crash free. And when those crashes happen, I don’t want to see cars bouncing off walls, especially not in a game that supposed to SIMULATE driving. Damage isn’t just about YOUR CAR, it’s about the simulation of driving.
Roll on April so I can whip down to CEX and trade in some other PS3 games for a used copy of this! Or maybe I can find someone brave enough to buy it and I’ll just borrow it for the weekend it will take to get bored of it.

Blimey, an impartial and balanced PS3 owner?
We ought to have you stuffed.
Seriously, nice to meet you, do you find other PS3 owners are wary of you and eye you suspiciously?
