My views on this
- Graphics is kinda blegh. I was kinda expecting more, but I forgot PS3 is kinda aincent and can't really do all this shebangs that you can see on the PC. they need this for the PC quickly. Other than that, it's quite cool. Effects are nicely done, and unlike Codies, the colours looks NATURAL. GOD I HATE CODIES AND THEIR BLOOM. THANK YOU POLYPHONY!
- Controls. I am using the G25, and I must say it's quite good to see that it works straight away. No steering lag (deadzone=0 on simulation woohooo!! SCREW YOU CODIES!). But lack of customising is saddening. I can't even set the steering degrees of my G25, as I prefer it to be more sensitive.
- Physics. Kinda ok'ish, but since this is not really a full blown sim I can understand. Cars tend to not behave like you expect it would some times. Suprisingly Lotus Elise is hard to drive. Wonder why
- Sounds. Immersive, awesome. Soundtrack is great, and you can hear the car's engine sound bounces back from the trackside stuffs
- Penalties. Crap. I got bumped off the track by another car and was disqualified? WTF is that? AI is kinda too enthutiastic as well. If you were racing a real person, you'd expect him/her to give the corner. BUt noooo, they still want to grind you, and making BOTH slower.
- Menu. Old. Slow. Not intuitive. They need to revamp this. make shortcuts for important places. I mean why do I need to go back -> back -> back -> back just to get back to garage, when I realised I used a wrong car?
A 7/10 from me
- G25 is not "officially" supported in this game. They want to make extra money and make you buy DFGT LOL
- Weight transfer is more prominent in this game. Thats why
- AI has long been the bane of this series. Thats why GT is the Driving Simulator, not Racing Simulator
