GT5 Tire Grip

News of the new Nurburgring Demo.

New features of the game include a tyre grip penalty which temporarily reduces grip if you go off the track and onto the grass or into the gravel. It takes around three to four corners to retain full grip again. Drivers will also feel like they are in the hot seat when they crash into a guard rail and sparks fly.”

Oh wow, great addition.

But Just get this game out in time for Christmas!!!!

I and millions of others need to play this!!

It's nice to know you can't just fly off the course and then come right back onto the tarmac, in an attempt to slam into your opponent. I've seen people do this in Forza's online mode, and it's fucking ridiculous (albiet hilarious to see).

It's good to see Gran Turismo focusing on actually being a skilled driver, and not some Destruction Derby maniac.

somesonyguy5133d ago

apparently they turned off the damn curse blocking feature on the new N4G too...

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5133d ago

Because GT is the R.D.S for Consoles.

Nicholas Cage5133d ago

ive been waiting for this for soo long, i refused to buy prologue because i wanted the authentic full blown gt. and its been hard but gt is almost here, and im very very pleased.

thereapersson5133d ago

Same here, Nicholas. I decided not to pick up Prologue for that same reason, because as much as it eats at me inside to not be playing Gran Turismo, I wanted to be completely fresh and new to Gran Turismo 5 when I pick it up later this year.

The wait is killing me, but then again you can't rush perfection; You can half-ass things, or you can take your time and do it right.

Did anyone else find that it was actually over-realistic?

saoco5133d ago

well first off a little background. i own 2 miatas, 1 is an 91 and the other a mazdaspeed turbo both modified. i used to autocross, before having a family (too expensive). the last GT5 demo was the closest game to reality that i have ever played. ppl complain about "how it's hard to control" but that's how it is on a i powered car, reason why miatas are outstanding for autocross great handling nimble and not overpowering for amateurs. trust me take a high powered rwd on a track, pay attention to details an compare it to the game. im not trying to make u look bad, but the penalty thing? not over-realistic. i was on my 91 when i was stationed in Virginia, and got run off the track by a pissed off evo driver and my suspension bottomed out and my tires felt a little slick when i hopped back on the road. yes it's true.

i also tried forza 3 and i liked it but once i tried that TT demo i was sold. trust me. it's still not on-par with real life but it is the closest thing i have played so far. and my msm is very strong and i do loose control every once in a while.

+Bubbles...

That's exactly it !

steve30x5132d ago

No its not over realistic. Gran Turismo is all about having a racing game as close to real as possible. If you dont like that then its time to play a different racing game.

UltraNova5132d ago

This game is shaping up to be a juggernaut! It will suck the life out of many people when it comes out I m sure.

All we need at E3 is just a release date.

WOAH! that's exactly what happens in the real world. Yamauchi's attention to detail is off the hook! What's even more insane is that sparks will fly all over the place when you grind your car on the rails which is just awesome.

Great work PD!

karlowma5133d ago

Sweet, so I get to watch a light-show while I rail-grind my way to victory!

Vive la REAL driving simulator!

Oh, the grip thing is cool.

Faztkiller5133d ago

PD are awesome never seen Racing game this amazing

PirateThom5133d ago

If they get the weather in there.... and have the wet tracks... could be insane.

LeonSKennedy4Life5133d ago

If it looks as good as I think it will, more than the tracks will be wet when I play it. ;)

PS360PCROCKS5133d ago

eww Leon you pee your pants? ;)

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.

Goodguy011d 9h ago

The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.
