Not happy about this purchase I just should have borrowed the game from work. But glad I had a GameStop gift card to use and didn't waste my money.
GT franchise was never the top in graphics but the physics are good.

Gearing can be customised by purchasing the fully custom tranmission where you can input specific gear ratios to match your car.

Everything I've seen says that the ft86 is exclusive to Gran Turismo for right now, but may eventually make it's way to Forza like Porsche did, or it may be in the next Forza game this October.

I'm glad they came out with the Scion version in GT5 though, I actually picked up GT5 the other day for the first time in months and started playing it just because of the gt86. lol

Curses! Oh well, looks like I'll have an actual reason to buy GT5 now. Maybe my PS3 will become slightly more than a Bluray player. hahaha. Thanks for the info. Hopefully, they add it in for Forza4 in a car pack at sometime when the exclusivity runs out.

I'm not talking about the physics end but the presentation. The tracks look like they did on ps2. The render sucks plain and simple.

Having switched back and forth between GT4 and GT5 somewhat extensively I can confirm that they look nothing alike, haha.

That being said, certain things in GT5 could use massive work, like shadows. What the heck is with the shadows?!?

I think GT5 is an amazing game, and I love it, but honestly for how long it took, it should have had a more polished result.

Maybe I'm being harsh since I do gave development for a living but. After playing Shift 1 and then Shift 2 they blow GT5 out of the water in terms of presentation. I have not had the chance to pick or or play Forza but I should.

The shadow issue is actually a general problem with PS3 development. If you look at most of their games they struggle in this area. GT5 a heck of a lot more though.

As for the game it's good, keeps me busy enough at times. Going to go home and grab the FRS tonight. I already have the other gt86 cars they released but still want the FRS in my collection, haha.

I came from playing Forza to GT5. I love GT5 for being what it is. Graphics? It's a simulator, I can be okay with that. Although, I think a wheel is much more needed in the game it gives me confidence that I would be able to use a 3-pedal layout.

The things that blew me away the most about GT5 is the time/weather changing. And headlights. Both of which have their own difficulties - froggy headlamps, dyrl, wipers, inside-car lights. The little things that make those two additional things a big leap for me in terms of immersive experience.

I've had the Toyota 86 (LH). But I don't think I seen the Scion. I have to admit, I use games to see what the real thing would be like since I don't have the ability to see what the car looks like at night.

I've just downloaded the FR-S

Question, which GT5 tires are the closest to the real stock tires in your opinion ??

It felt slightly grippier. It does break loose and slide pretty well at the final corner of Tsukuba when you down shift to 3rd and turn in.
