That's right, Michael Waltrip, who has focused on being an owner and is racing in about 6 races a year, will have his car in the game. However, I don't think I've seen Kurt Busch, Ryan Newman, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth, Greg Biffle, and Carl Edwards...

Now if EA released a 5-on-5 basketball game (say NBA Elite) and all you could play as were Dwight Howard, LeBron, Kobe, Chris Paul, Kevin Garnett, and Kyle Korver, people would be going INSANE.

*sigh*

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from Pessimippopotamus]]> @d20Dark: Oh god. Setting up a car right in Forza can take forever. So can just decorating a car.

I play racing games so I understand it perfectly. After I got to a certain point on GT4, I never had the desire to touch it again because of so much time I put into it. Same with TDU. I can never imagine playing those games over again. And picking them up where I left off would be completely strange.

Pessimippopotamus

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from Pessimippopotamus]]> @twinturbo2: That sums it up really. I also found Forza much more forgiving in that aspect. It will reward you for pretty much any race that you do as long as you finish.

That being said, I won't understand the people who will do a full simulation cross country flight on the computer. Take off... wait a few hours on auto-pilot... land. I like flight simulators, but every time I took out a commercial jet I always tried to make it do loops and barrel rolls.

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from farthestgiant]]> I think Sony seriously shot themselves in the foot with GT 5. I mean the amount of money involved in developing this game for so long has to be outrageous.

racer06

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from d20Dark]]> @tsjone01001: It's the love of the genre I think. People that really love racing games tend to be passionate as hell about them. Nuances and tuning specifics make you feel bonded to the car (and then the game that let you bond to that car). And then you have the fanboy community that damn near couldn't give a rat's ass about the specific physics going into a game- they just want to cheer for the console the game comes on. They likely won't even buy the game- they just want to start stupid shit because that's what fanboys do.

I'm bitter about GT5. I might not have said that a year ago- I know I wouldn't have said it two years ago- but now... I'm bitter. It's taken too damn long and from everything I've seen- it's been about the graphics. And the last demo that came out (the trial) really sucked. The controls were terrible and the graphics really sucked ass. The original demo was SO much tighter in the control and looks WORLDS better than the "new" version. My only guess is that the "new" physics and controls work perfectly with a logitec wheel. Well- I'm not paying another $120 for a wheel... so that means I'm going to have those twitchy, slide everywhere physics for my Dual Shock?? Hell no. And if they have to compress the graphics as much as they did to fit 10000000 tracks onto a Blu Ray... just don't give me that many tracks. Seriously- this whole "more=better" is BULLSHIT. Give me a fair amount of cars (not 45 Skylines) and a fair amount of tracks (over 30) and polish those in a fair amount of time (2 years. Max). Don't tell me "If you wait 5 years, we'll give you every version of the Honda Flea that's only been released in Japan (and only goes 40 mph) and we'll give you 240 tracks in each territory (because turn 14 is different on each). Maybe this'll take 6 years... Don't leave though- we're making it. Honestly."

d20Dark

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from d20Dark]]> @chilicoke and ploopsy:

The reason I'm saying that I'm now a Forza fan (from a GT fan) is because of the extreme devotion these sort of games take to master. A shooter or an RPG- I could play them all. You spend about a day or a weekend and you've got it. Swapping to another is easy.

But with a simulation experience like Forza or GT- you gotta EARN it. And having spent 100 hours mastering Forza (Ha!- that's a joke- I still find people that put me to shame online in Forza) I'm not ready to pick up another game that's basically the same experience.

I'm not saying that I'll never try GT5. But Forza's been out about a year and I feel like I've still got a LOT of space to keep digging and finding out more about that game. I'm not going to start over to get into another game of the same demanding genre and then loose ground on the game I've been working on. That's where I feel GT let me down- hard. If it came out in another year- I'd be willing to think of it as GT6 (sure, I'd be laughing my ass off that it took that long) but as least it wouldn't be so close to FM3 that I feel like walking away from FM3 was a mistake. If GT5 came out 2 years ago- I'd likely have not picked up FM3.

As I said- it's the nature of the genre; not the title on the box.

d20Dark

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from Mike Meserve]]> @RockyRan: The game has never been postponed for a U.S release. It did have a Japan release date but that was canned. That was the only release time ever for GT5 in the world. So people need to stop saying it was being pushed back, because it never had a solid release date.

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from Kowl Slaw]]> @SSUK: The general consensus, I'm fairly sure, is that Valve might as well just rename Ep3 as HL3.

But, it's already a bit to late for that. Since Episode 3 will wrap up the Combine story arc, and answer questions about the Gman (And stuff?), and then HL3 will just be random as far as we know so far.

My bitterness though, was added to further when I found that any time I even mentioned the Forza games online, I was verbally attacked by GT superfans.

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from indyit]]> @Deanb: Very interesting, the more you know, I guess. If it works well it would be pretty cool. This E3 looks to be a pretty important one this year. Nintendo's got a new handheld. And surely new info on the new Zelda game which is as big an announcement as new hardware. Not my opinion, but the general consensus.
Sony needs to push Move and 3D as well as show something new being done with the PSP.
360 has the Natal which is supposedly going to revolutionize the way we play games.
From the looks of it, a lot of money is going into both Natal and Move and they probably won't wither away the same way the EyeToy did on the PS2, so it should play a pretty big role in the year or two to come.

Only thing missing at the moment is a lot of new IPs, but I guess there could be quite a few surprises (for instance wth is David Jaffe making. Considering that they've stayed mum so long developing a bit of hype, whatever it is - won't be able to fulfil it.)

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from RockyRan]]> So much hatred surrounding GT5. I mean yes, it's pretty unusual to have a game delayed indefinitly (except for when it's cancelled, but we all know it isn't), but I can guarantee it that as soon as the release is finalized for the last time and the commercials and news start rolling in there will be just as much hype as there was before.

Claim you've lost interest all you want, but you'll be in the front lines of the hype train when the game does come out, I'll tell you that.

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from indyit]]> @Deanb: Yeah I know what you mean and you've definitely got a point... As far as HD-TVs goes with this generation of consoles motivating people into getting HDTVs (that's why I got mine) the upgrade between SD and HD vs HD and 3D HD is vast. I think Sony is being smart about it by implementing 3D into their console to push their other line of products (the 3D TVs and inevitable 3D Blu-rays).

So yeah maybe you're right, it's a smart move by Sony, we'll see if it pays off... but more importantly I think it's just generally a good move by Sony to actually produce content for their 3D TVs through the PS3.

3DS? At this stage is nothing more than a curiousity... I don't quite understand how it will be both glasses-free and optional. Only 2 weeks to go, should be interesting.

Read above on why they're not being too soon. Though my only issue would be the consoles this gen aren't upto it. Though they seem confident with Killzone 3-D and thats what I'd call a 'demanding game'. So I guess the 3-D doesn't lead to too much of a hit on the GPU.

As for the star Crecente says:
"Star commenters are supposed to be people who keep the conversations moving about the news of the day, the posts of the day.

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from tachikoma]]> @PACKFAN4LIFE: Interesting. Knowing how GT has always been bad at putting a lot of cars on the track at once, I wonder if they're saving RAM by loading one car model and then just drawing a couple instances of it instead of loading uniques for every racer.

That said, this happens to me all the time in Forza 3 - I'll drive some race-tuned event car, and have to pass 1 or 2 identical ones to win.

Seriously... who cares when it comes out, it's not something to cry about... it's gonna come out when it comes out...

HL: 1998
HL2:2004

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from PACKFAN4LIFE]]> @frankplastictrees: I agree, and the I'll be the bearer of bad news.

I sent Ryan McCraffey (Official Xbox Magazine editor/write) asking if there were any NASCAR games in the planning that he had heard of - and he said no.

To his knowledge no one had picked up and decided to use the NASCAR franchise/name except Gran Turismo. :(

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from PACKFAN4LIFE]]> @ShatteringLast: No, Jeff Gordon run the National Guard car, not Mark Martin. And even if it we're Jeff Gordon's National Guard car (it isn't, Jeff's NG cars are black with silver tailing towards the rear - while the NG car in the foreground is clearly blue) it's inexcusable when you have 43 + drivers to choose from each week.

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from slider78]]> @dumlaox: I don't know, I mean is clear that gamers are early adopters of new tech, but 3D for the masses?.

A survey I saw the other day said that only 46% of the US hoseholds had "Standard" HDTVs, so I guess (and im sure i might be wrong), that most americans will not spend 1500/2500 dollars to get a 3D HDTV in the next 6 months, neither most gamers.

So why spend a lot of effort in pushing games for a technology that most people wont have and wont bring revenue in the next year?.

Well, I understand that a couple of titles HAVE to be pushed in that direction, but that's mostly a PR move in the PS3 case, with high profile titles in 3D, Sony can brag about being "the pioneer of 3d gaming" (the virtual boy doesnt count, it wasnt 3D, it was a migraine machine).

The 3DS on the other hand is a different story, it has its own display so its a full product-tech by itself. However, as far as I know it doesnt have a fixed shipping date.

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from d20Dark]]> As much as I expect a whole lot of bullshit and promises from Sony this year (because they've taught me to expect that from them), I'm more excited to see Sony's magic show conference than anything on GT5. I'm at the point now that I'm just bitter about GT5 and Polyphony. Stringing out the game this long caused me to move on to Forza 2, then 3 and put more than 100 hours in on EACH of those games. So to see GT5's mysterious movies again just makes me feel like flicking them off and saying "whatever, I'll be over here playing something else".

Maybe that's all changed...as long as this game has taken, it damned better have.

]]> <![CDATA[Comment from dumlaox]]> @Deanb: I hope you're wrong on this one. With HD not being a common item in households, I don't think the public is ready for 3D gaming if it means glasses all around. I know I'm not in to the whole 3D thing due to me already wearing glasses and not wanting to invest in a new TV with barely any content there.

I'm not saying that those 2 companies won't tout it. I just hope it doesn't become the overwhelming thought for the conference.

You know while others think motion control is gonna be the focus of E3 this year I'm thinking that's old hat now. Yeah it'll get a mention, and I think for MS that'll hold true as they've shown bugger all of Natal. But for the most part motion was done last year.
This year its:

3-D

Both Sony and Nintendo will have a 3-D capable system this year in the 3DS and the PS3. And I think that's gonna be their main focus. And with Ubi saying to expect a ton of 3-D games by the end of next year I reckon a few devs will be showing off their multidimensional wares. And Sony already has Killzone 3-D and maybe Gran Turismo.
