Yeah, kinda lame that you only get 2 cars, but it is a Nissan sponsored event. Graphics wise, other than the non-jagged shadow I spot here and there, doesn't seem like that big of a leap, must just be the PS3 hardware limiting it. I do like the new physics engine, seems like you can feel the suspension move around more under you and the tires seem to have a little bit more progressive grip loss as you push, so you can gauge grip levels. Overall I like it, except for the fact that I suck at it. Let the endless loop of try...f-up...restart begin!

yeah, a little disappointing and makes me a bit less excited about GT6 coming. But I'll almost certainly buy it anyways LOL. The main thing the demo/GTA2013 has going for it is the new Silverstone circuit and new physics, but nothing that makes you say wow. Also for the US GT Academy they should have used one of the US winners' faces not one of the Euro guys! (I'm distant friends with Bryan H. the US winner from 2 years back).

Also who knew that the 370z has way more body roll than my FR-S??

BigFatFlip · 07-03-2013, 01:26 PM

^lol I think I like the body roll, seems more realistic. Definitely felt alot of body roll during autoX in my BRZ.

The next few days will be hit or miss cause of the holiday. :P I'm home now, but I have to do some family stuff.

Bach415 · 07-05-2013, 12:17 PM

Just got back my internet! Anyone up to play tonight after 6? Might be on for a while.

Drop that AT&T connection and grab Comcast! I haven't had issues with them since I had it for the past 2 years.

Clipdat · 07-05-2013, 07:41 PM

lol, consider yourself lucky as that is definitely not the normal comcrap experience!

I doubt it haha. My friend has no issues with them and he had the service just as long as I did. Maybe it's just the benefits of living in S.F, better quality service haha.

Clipdat · 07-10-2013, 01:41 AM
