What is a Ferrari game without a McLaren F1? Enjoy
2009 is over and there have been a number of decent racers. 2010 is nearby...does anyone smell Gran Turismo 5? Maybe Split Second? Definitely.
GT5 =
5 years of development , 1000 cars, 70 Tracks, livery customization, engine tuning, big online mode, 16 x 400k polygon cars on track, Most realistic racing console physic to date, full support of wide range of wheels.
What do you want more from racing game ?

"GT fans still have a very long wait for the next installment, Gran Turismo 5. When GT5: Prologue was released all the way back in late 2007-early 2008, people were pumped because of the extraordinary graphics and packaging of the game. However GT5: Prologue is only a small piece of the pie (labeled as a "demo") compared to Gran Turismo 5."
If your refering to the above image, thats GT5.
The Ferrari project one isnt taken from gameplay either, so still no idea how the gameplay actually looks compared to GT5.
i know the game in the pic is gt5 i'm talking about Ferrari Project click on the article and you will see Ferrari Project
Ah ah ah panasonic, you just owned yourself big time as a MS fanboy.
Now you'll have to ask mommy to buy a PS3 with GT5 Prologue.
I think we can all see that it isn't from Ferrari Challenge, so please do not make out that it is wrong. He has posted a pick of GT5 P . . and asking Are they tired of waiting, and if so, will NFS: Shift and Ferrari Challenge be the answer - in the mean time . . .
Personally I think NFS: SHift will excit many, but NOT the NFS purists out there. It's taken the game away from what it was, and aligned its self with Grid and Forza more than anything else.
It needed to. Much like TOCA needed to move away from what it was and towards Grid. Everyone said Codies were mad for doing so, but they did a great job, and sold more units than they would have if they had of done yet another TOCA series.
NFS: Shift is a huge step away from the arcade style. If ppl want that, then they'll get it from the new NFS: Nitro on the Wii/PSP and the new NFS: Open World on the PC. NFS: Shift is for racing buffs, and ideally, it should turn out great judging by the ppl they have working on it, and the dev team working on the physics.
Many of whom are ardent racing drivers and fans.
But all we need to do is look at the last 2 Need For Speeds to see that the franchise is quickly fading from the greatness that was Underground 1 & 2. Im not interested in any Need For Speed Game Either.
Ferarri Project well, only Ferarris ?? Please. We are over driving one kind of car. Please end these sort of racing games please devs. PLEASE !!!
I dont have GTP but I do have Pure, not cars but a damn fine racing game. That ties me over
shift looks pretty cool. i like the idea of adding in a small amount of arcade. it will probably feel a little like a polished GTA4.
and NFS Most Wanted was a fun game.
I'm sorry, but I hated underground and every game after that was just meh. Hot Pursuit 2 was its pinnacle, and then it went to crap, imo.
waiting is absolutely no problem when we have so many great games to play. take your time sony, and give us that level of polish that makes everyone else so jealous. even GT5P is still unmatched in graphic quality and driving simulation after all this time
ok, back to killzone 2
these games may look good but they are nothing compared to GT series so that makes them a waste of money to me... PASS
I recently popped in GT4 to get some snow driving going on and I nearly forgot how many tracks there were in GT4. I guess PD wants GT5 to be better than GT4, and the only way to do that is to have more cars and more tracks. And we all know how the tracks in GT5p looks like, so trying to get the GT4 tracks at the level of GT5p or better probably does take a long time.
Burnout Paradise is satisfying my car racing urges QUITE WELL for the time being, i.e. until THE KING of car simulation arrives.
AWESOME game.
Thats your opinion, your entitled to it. But you cannot deny that Underground freshened up NFS and brought it to whole new audience. Had they of released a revamped version of pursuit it wouldnt of sold.
I think it was the best of the series, then again that is just my opinion. I loved the free roaming aspect of it. It fulfilled my fantasy boy racer needs.
lol click on the pic and you will find untouched in game meaning yes it from the game lol.
For 2.2 and Pana, direct quote from article referring to Ferrari pics:
"From what we were told via the grapevine, we could also expect to see actual gameplay visuals as breath-taking as these."
AKA, the pics are not gameplay
@jager - you have no idea how this gaming stuff works... even though it may be in-game, the actual visuals in the fina; release may still vary marginally, so it could be better, it could be worse...even though they say its untouched. nonetheless it is in-game...
*shrug* what ever you say.
Either way, would Ferrari hold a GT fan over? no, that NFS game might if it puts alot of simulation into it, but i wont hold my breath til i see it running, most NFS games i seen are extremely arcade focused. Will NFS turn away from their fanbase to create a none arcade focused NFS game? doubt it, but we'll see.
For the Ferrari part, it will only have Ferrari cars, so no, it wouldnt hold a GT fan over.
Well thats a good point about NFS and its arcade fan base but thats wat NFS: Nitro hopefully will cover...I guess they are taking a new direction by expanding the fan base for all types of racers, with a relevant racing game to suit. we just gotta wait to see how this goes.
Of course the Ferrari Project images are in-game. I would expect a PC game to look pretty good.
those games dont really look as good as GT5:P on a visual level, but I will try demos!
But I don't see how people can say the physics in GT5P is bad. No damage =/= bad physics. That means your car doesn't fall apart, the physics is some of the best I played. I played that game using the Logtiech GT Force and man was I amazed at the shear quality of the force feedback and physics. While I haven't played Forza or PGR with that quality of racing wheel (since you can only use the crap MS one), they are fun, but the physics is a lot more forgiving, it is easier to recover from a drift in those, while in GT5P, when you are drifting, you have to keep your tire speed perfect, too slow will cause the drift to stop, too fast will cause you to spin, also, making sure you don't oversteer is something I don't see much in games when it comes to drifting.
While the car looks awesome, there is WAY too much motion blur. It's ridiculous. Not to mention it is crap, if the camera is following the car left, then why isn't the car in the back even more motion blurred than the environment? After all it is moving against the motion of the camera.
Thats true..gotta accept that a dev would have to invest quite a lot to deliver something comparable to compete with GT in all aspects...so I dont expect these guys to drop a title that could do that...but hey...its progress at least...visuals look promising.. comments about shift's physics looks pretty good as well... and its not like its 100% sim...
all of you fanboys really over-rated Gran Turismo, the only thing GT5 really has going for it is visuals and an amount of cars, it's gameplay is amazingly dated.
if Gran Turismo has dated gameplay, then hell I must love dated gameplay!!!
can't wait for this game! In my opinion Gran Turismo is the best racing franchise ever! I love the gameplay, cars, the way you progress, licenses, hell I just love everything about it.
Not that I don't like and enjoy other racing games, the only problem with other racing games is they just aren't Gran Turismo :)
This is the thing that amazes me about GT fanbois . . They would rather rule out other great games in the process of waiting for THEIR game.
Every thought of simply enjoying gaming for what it delivers . . .Having fun with games.
GT is not the be-all-end-all of racing games, nor is anything else for that matter, Be it Forza, Grid Race Pro etc. Games are flawed by nature . . .They simply try and be the best they can up too a point.
That's the thing though... Gran Turismo DOES prevent me from enjoying other racing games.
Everything seems... wrong, when I play other games. It's not the games fault, I just expect cars in games to behave a certain way just because I'm that used to Gran Turismo.
So how do you convince someone to look at another game? Cause GT5 isnt perfect...the handling isnt so great...but how do you get fans to understand that? At least you can admit it..but some fans are so hard headed...that they believe GT will be the only game in existence and no other stands a chance.
Thats the thing about 360 fanboys like XboxOZ360, they always feel threatened so they resort to pick on Playstation fans as if they don't play other games besides GT5 and other of the PS franchises. Please, go away with that nonsense. Do you really think the 360 fanbase is any different?
It's like no matter what topic we're on, the 360 fanboys always feel the need to come out to specifically comment on "PS3 fanboys". I'm guessing they have not much games of their own to talk about anymore.
I don`t think the GT fans rules out a racing game while waiting for their favorite game. I`m a GT fan but i play other racing games as well, but nothing gives me the satisfaction that i get when i play GT. The only game that comes close, in my book, is PGR, which is not even a sim. Forza2 was a huge let down for me in every aspect. Simbin games are good, the best sims, but they look worse than GT3, and don`t have much depth. I won`t even mention NFS.
But the thing is, OZ isn't really a 360 fanboy by N4G's definition. Sure, he may contribute as an editor and journalist on that website, but he has in the past showed love towards other things that are anything *but* XBOX related. Heck, I remember a while back they had an entire feature dedicated to how much they were anticipating MGS 4.
He's just trying to make an objective point of view here -- unfortunately, calling out other fanboys does tend to be construed the wrong way most of the time.
I play all types of racing games but GT is far and away my favorite racer. I enjoyed GT5P (the demo ;) /sarcasm off) so much I purchased a Logitech G25 and Racing seat because of it. I will give Shift a try as I did Ferrari Challenge (which I didn't care for).
Ive been a long time GT fan, but I did jump ship a few times and enjoyed Forza on the original Xbox and Forza 2 on the 360. They were both good games.
I don't speak for every fan of GT, but a majority of us open to other racing games. Ask how many GT fans enjoyed Underground 1 & 2 and a majority of them will say they enjoyed it. We aren't that hard headed buddy.
What I want to see is a completely new racing experience, not a piss poor attempt at GT. Cant wait to see what Forza 3 has, and GT5 for that matter
I enjoy Gran Turismo, Project Gotham Racing and Forza Motorsport. Gran Turismo is great, but I also like the pure arcade thrill of PGR and the customisation options provided by Forza.
forza 2&3 and about 10 other good racers or wait !
And you guys are gamers ?
Lol !
Grantupinball better have damage on all cars or why bother ?
I play almost every racer that comes out but I am still waiting on the edge of my seat literally for GT5 to be released. Definitely my favorite racing series and most anticipated racing title this generation.
... i will try demo first.
GT Series is the KING of racing games.
i love Racing games.
I like ppl like you...at least you would give the demo a shot...if it goes good, maybe you pick up the real copy... unlike the rest of fanboys in this thread who thing GT is the be all and end all and nothing else will ever be worthy...
Ok, GT is my all time favorite racing game.
then Burnout series, that just crazy game
IMO, GT franchise is really PERFECT game. i played the whole series
but your not going wrong with trying/playing another hot game.. it's all about fun.
I would at least like to give the demo a try. I'm a hardcore Gran Turismo defender; heck, even if I quit gaming on Playstation consoles, I'd still have a place in my heart for the series. It basically helped an entire generation -- as well as gaming culture in general -- get re-interested in car racing on a widespread level. However, GT:5 Prologue can only carry me so far before I will eventually want to try something new. Seeing as how the estimated release date for GT:5 is probably still over a year away, gamers will need something to fill the void.
Besides, even though the NFS series has been in the sh1tter as of late, I'm still willing to give a new iteration a chance, to see if EA can manage to redeem themselves.
I HATE demos mostly because they leave on a cliff hanger and then I buy the game. Lol
Worst game I bought was Narnia Prince Caspian(Don't ask)
It is actually so bad it is good on co-op at least.
Im serious, Don't laugh.
completely agree..
my favorite thing in GT is you can change the whole parts of the car.
and make money to upgrade it. f*king amazing really cant wait lol.
I'm not sure about the logic of including a 360/PC game in that article but yes I'll certainly take a look at any NFS:Shift demo available. In the past a NFS game would be a no brainer, I'd buy it but the series has declined into a schoolboys wet dream with the emphasis moving to scantily clad women, shiny alloy wheels and neon lighting. I own a 360, PC and PS3 and so enjoy a variety of games from the serious racers like iRacing to the arcade racers like PGR4. Forza 2 is a great game and has excellent multiplayer functionality but I still feel that GT5P has the edge over it for handling and GT5P's graphics are by far the best I've seen in a racing game yet.
I agree 90%. Ferrari project looks really nice and I would love to try it out, but I don't think my PC can handle that game. And NFS as of late are just pure garbage in my opinion so I won't be touching that with a 12ft pole.
GT5 is the only car race simulation in this generation
yeah i agree. i love it when i watch racing, and the last place driver steams up to the corner and rides the other cars into first place...just like you do in the real racing simulator that is GT.
plus, when i'm late for work, i drive really fast upto a corner, and do the same to get past those pesky drivers which aren't going fast enough for me.
GT and real life simulation go together like peas and carrots.
"10 - GT5
is the only car race simulation in this generation "
I understand that you love GT5, but to totally deny 2 other great games and claim that they are not in the same category is silly, Forza 2, and Race Pro, are definitely race simulations & are both great games, I still play Forza 2 to this day...Hell, I've played every GT game, even bought a ps2 specifically for GT3 and will probably get a ps3 specifically for GT5, but lets not act blind and ignorant...
No thanks, I'll just wait until GT5 comes out. These copy cats are nowhere near GT franchise.
So many racing games out right now that is not even being talked about. Midnight Club La, Wipeout HD, Motorstorm 2 are some of the best games Ive ever played. Its a shame that everyone looks past these games over GT5P. GT3 is still my favorite racer of all time, but its pretty much the same game with every new iteration but just with better graphics. Also, GT5 is gonna fail when it comes to online because of the lack of voice chat, private races, and latency issues. I haven't played forza 2 online yet, but I know which one I get when I wanna hang out with my friends.
We don't need a time waster like GT right now. Let them update their engines and make the best game possible. I am not even through KZ 2's campaign yet.
Man, some people have no life. I don't even have a job right now and ydon't see me gaming 24/7.
I wouldn't even have time for GT because valk chronicles is just around the bend.
And then infamous, motorstorm, and then, and then....
Let's be honest, the game is prolly coming summer 2010.
The wait is worth it I want the game to be great if you rush it it will only be crap
Yep, I´m starting to get tired of waiting for GT5 so I probably try Supercar Challenge when it releases. It probably wont have as many cars or tracks as GT5 (but which game has/will?), but it looks good and probably plays good too.
The only game i would recommend other than GT this Gen, is Ferrari Challenge.
i think Gran Turismo 5 looks like a floor in a hospital.
there's no life in this game.
I'm sorry but your comment is full of stupidity the game hasn't even come out yet.
Since when did you have the all seeing eye?
Jesus! What hospitals do you go to? Wow, just shows how desperately you want this game.
"Gran Turismo 5 Fans, Tired Of Waiting?"
More like one fan is tired of waiting lol if you want them to rush the game and get a crappy game out of then that's your.
I say let them take all the time they need for it to be perfect. I'm a Grown ass 24 year old not a little child i can wait unlike some spoiled children.
Meh, I don't really have any interest in any other Simulation racing game but Gran Turismo.
The Need For Speed Series has slid downhill, so Need For Speed Shift is going to have to prove me wrong big time.
And yeah, I know Gran Turismo 5 isn't the "End-all-be-all" racing game, but GT5 is the most anticipated, and the quality standards for Gran Turismo is so high that it's just hard for me to play anything else that isn't on par.
When it comes to Simulation racers, I am very picky, and I tend to stick to what I know... and what I know is GT.
yes i will wait for gt5 while i'm playing so many EXCLUSIVE GAMES only found on the Sony Playstation 3 Computer Entertainment System. Not only that, if i want to play a racing game i'll buy any of the MULTI PLATFORM GAMES all available on MY Sony Playstation 3 Computer Entertainment System. Maybe a little of MOTORSTORM.
Too bad XBOTS will have to wait for games no matter what or wait for real exclusive games that are TRIPLE AAA. (not going to happen)
I can't wait for Gran Turismo 5, hopefully they make the AI 'more human' and use a different online set-up to what's currently present in prologue.
FP and NFS get into car magazines, feature the same graphics, and receive praise from professional drivers, then GT will have to worry about those games eating away at a significant part of the fanbase. I seriously doubt that's going to happen, but if people get through the day "hoping" for another game to take GT's place then by all means. Those people who bought the last four will still be around.
i love racing games and am gutted that gt5 wont be out any time soon
but i know that when it is out i will be on it solid
need 4 speed will do untill gt5 comes out and so will any other racing games that come before gt5
'Tired' of waiting? Nah, I have plenty of games to keep me going until GT5. The only racers I need in the meantime are GT5:P and BURNOUT PARADISE. I'll be patient...
[1.3 - Fading from its underground glory?
I'm sorry, but I hated underground and every game after that was just meh. Hot Pursuit 2 was its pinnacle, and then it went to crap, imo.]- I totally agree(I thought that I was the only one that thought that way too), hot pursuit 2 was the best and last good racing game from the need for speed series, and when ea went the "nothing but supped up regular street car" approach to the series when undergound was released I stopped buying any of the nfs series titles since underground to present. I mean I want to race the exotic cars that I will probably never race or even drive in my lifetime for the most part than drive regular supped up street cars passing them selves off as sports cars. EA has taken this once much respected franchise from basically all sides of the gaming community to a mere no frills, substance less(no real exotic cars or locales), chinsy quality, teeny boppin happy mealish watered down sorry excuse of a series. It is sad how ea has treated this series because I think that this series was really great until underground was released. This series now is not even worthy of being called a mere shadow of how great it once was( nfs 1 - nfs hot pursuit 2). I am hoping maybe one day that ea will wake up and realize what this series should be and start bringing back the quality exotic cars and locals among other things that made this series great back then. I also don't like the "nickle and dime" approach that ea is taking with this series, I mean last game( either nfs carbon or nfs undercover) I heard that they were charging extra fees to unlock cars that were already on the game disc , and now they are spltting one game into three {via timed releases}-Need For Speed: Shift, the other two being NFS: World Online (MMO style game) and NFS: Nitro (arcade racer). A once great series has now officially become a cash cow mediocre franchise. There might still be some hope though if ea eventually ever wakes up and realizes what they are doing to one of their "once upon a time" top franchises.
im patiently waiting for it to come out not gonna lie, im a gt fan ,it was 1 of the three main reasons why i bought a ps3 in the first place but there are other racing games out right now , motorstorm for example , while it isnt a racing sim it made me feel the same way when i first played GT , i love GT and i have gt5p but till this very same day motorstorm pacific rift is my favorite racing game this generation and this is coming from a GT and wipeout fan.
Need for what? We need voice chat, game invites and the Nordschleife and/or Cirquit de la Sarte for GT 5 P. We don't need another game. No Need for Crap and italian trash.
NFS Shift uses too much blur. I bet it's disguising bad textures and bland enviroments.
PirateThom - AGREED.
I recently got rid of prologue, not because i didn't like it. I loved it. and completed everything in the game, more or less anywayz. And i have motorstorm PR to keep me company. And i love the online mode.
The article mentions bumper car physics, well if that's the case, more of the same please. Does he not know, the reason for the bumper car physics, is because there is no damage modeling, car debris, etc.
I hope that is added in GT5. As well as faster matchmaking.
The handling is perfect incar.
If your driving GT5P in 3rd person view, you really shouldn't be playing it, and instead play grid. Its much better suited for that view.
As soon as GT5 is released i'm buying it, DAY 1.
yes i am still waiting and getting pissed off waiting been 2 years now....and they give me piece of Sh!t gt5p?? i might as well play Mario kart on the wii
driving fan and you have money then by all means by these other games to wait for GT5.
Otherwise. Wait for GT5 like me. I would rather wait for the king of racing game then waisting my time on 3 alright racing games.
im excited for dirt 2. that should be a excellent racing game...been playing that instead of GT5p(im not into bumper cars) and it differently beats and offroad rally/truck/whatever game ever made. but seriously gt5 you need to hurry the f*** up.
Which one will come out first
A. GTA5
B. GTA PSP
c. PS4
All seriously, where the heck is GTA portable for the PSP. It was announced like what 5 years ago?
This article a few weeks ago saying that GT fans should look at Need For Speed Shift and I get called all sorts of names because I write for HHG, but this guy does it (no offense to the writer) and no real arguments arise...
http://n4g.com/NewsPending-...
Ridiculous
Because a lot of people here are tired of the garbage posted from HHG intended to inflame and create hits for his site rather than post credible articles. The site that posted this article doesn't get into the silly 'console wars' or has a reputation for posting inflammatory stories to generate hits. Its a racing game site that is looking at different racing games. For what its worth I saw nothing wrong with your article so perhaps you might choose a more credible site to get your work published.
People who played NfS: Shift alpha say it already looks way better than Prologue. It's not a race sim, it's somewhere between Forza and Grid, but closer to the latter. I guess it's worth considering.
Really who give a S*IT about a Ferrari Project or the washed up series that is Need for Speed. How long have I been waiting for GT Mobile. That's what really gets me angry. It was penned to be a launch title for the PSP.
Good news for Ferrari fans as Slightly Mad Studios confirms that they are now progressing with the game.
Maybe GT fans should think about this...NFS: Shift and Ferrari Project looking uber awesome... time for a switch maybe?
:confused:
if this is indeed untouched, it looks truly amazing! although the feeling is not like when the first time looking at GT5:P, still this game is matching GT in graphical department!
It looks like the back of a Ferrari F1, I don't see any Mclaren F1 cars in that gallery. I don't watch f1 auto racing but I would like to see the Gran Turismo people make an F1 game.
I edit a Formula 1 Magazine and there are NO McLaren pics there at all. Nice attention grabbing headline though!?
the first 4 pics are old and from last year.
