“Adding to the good video quality is the fact that someone with normal skills is driving, resulting in a pretty clean lap instead of the crashing and banging that can be seen in many other Gran Turismo preview videos.”

+1

Arcade mode? I hope it is. He/She was driving through the grass without brake + hit other cars, but did’t spin.

I can’t believe even GT fanboys aren’t sick of Nordschleife previews. Surely the game will include at least another track…

physics looked pretty shitty, probably because it was on standard physcis with aids on, you can see light go on every time he takes a corner.

Thumb position? I really think they should be inside not just layed onto the wheel.
I really cant see any flow in the physics. I mean at Pflanzgarten, thats just not correct, you cant jump a bit over the hill and then brake while sliding into the corner. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think its just a smell step forwards physics-wise.
But the light-effects are simply mind-blowing and I think it still remains a must-buy

nice arcade

Looks quite easy to handle and very hard to lock the wheels and crash. The car always returns to where he points it to (reminds me of dirt 2). Sure the merc is great but i doubt it is immune to the laws of physics. I hope this is due to the aids and/or arcade mode or whatever..

Lots of negativity. I’m no GT5 fanboy, but I get a sense that many see this as a threat.

whats with the car swerving into him on 1:13?…detail looks pretty good!..
No way I’m moving from PC to console thou.I like the extra that come with the PC & from the community’s

It´s sad that the physics looks so bad indeed. I think that whenever this game comes out….It won´t be as nice to drive as say older grand turismo was..

It´s such a shame…

Looks nice though.

At least it looks nice, can’t say the same about the arcade physics.

About the thumb position… it’s possible it’s some fad inspired by Best Motoring or some other Japanese tuning vid: one other thing is a totally peculiar method of shifting H shifter forward… like European truck and bus drivers did in the sixties

Can’t edit? Forgot to add that shifting method is in the Besto Motoring videon, NOT in the game (or if it is I don’t know about it).

I’m just throwing my 2 cents in here. I’m not attacking anything, I’m just stating what I see. As if I’m an expert… lol

It looks goods. I don’t know what kind of assists you can have, but it definitely looks like the drive has some on.

What I do like about GT and Forza is, they are both getting closer and closer to simulations. I think they have some kind of plan to get arcade racers to evolve into sim racers.

I don’t think anyone can argue about the difference between arcade racers, such as GT and Forza, and sims, such as iRacing and rFactor, especially if you have driven both types.

Why make assumptions based on a fuzzy video that uses driving aids, try the GT5TT demo for yourself, afterall it’s been out for over a month.

If you do you’ll see first hand the physics are every bit as good as the best on offer from rFactor and GTR2.

Uh, no. We all know you like Gran Turismo, but there is no need for outright lies.

Looks like a nice children’s racing game.

A much better video of GT5′s Nordschleife without the cockpit view. The car is a tuned 370Z using a R1 tires: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdPnHgeC4mE
