GT5 Prologue - Clio V6

[mortster]

So I finally got around to playing prologue on the PS3 this weekend, and OMG! how accurate is that V6, I just spent hours watching replays, whilst zooming in with the triangle key, just everything is modelled right, down to the rear engine cover clips, and I swear I saw the renault sport logos embroided in the seats,, and as for the dashboard whilst driving, it's just spot on ! I'm so pumped for GT5 now, but looks like it won't be out until March 2010 (looks like driving the V6 on a console will be the closest I get to the experience, unless I can see a way to persuade the missus that a V6 is practical lol!)

Anyone know if it's possible to look up/down and around whilst in the c**kpit view, want to see how accurate polyphony have been ?

Thats kinda sad TBH...

 

[mortster]

well maybe hours is a bit of an exaggeration... but i do adore the V6
you got to respect the amount of perfection that Polyphony have put into the car models

I've got both and while the lighting and the accuracy/detail of car models are very impressive the environments are lifeless and dull and then there's the screen tearing :dapprove:

I can't believe that they don't simply fix that with simple v-sync options. They've been standard fair on PC games for years....

i had the jap version for a while, and tearing on that was terrible, they have certainly improved it in the UK version of the game, but it's still noticeable when a few cars on screen.

maybe they cant force vsync, as you would get horrible frame rate drops from 60fps to 30fps etc, and maybe not enough frame buffer on the nvidia card in the PS3 to support triple buffering to smooth it out if they did enforce vsync.

compared to the jap version, it's acceptable now imo. for the quality of visuals you are getting, but I would also agree with a post up above, which says the tracks do lack 'life' , needs that something extra, to liven things up, Polyphony need to look at some Sega racing games to see how to jolly things up, but not go OTT.
