Konami just updated their website regarding their VGS (Visual Gravity System)

Sphere (Previously represented by arrows on sides)
Now the G-force is visualized by the movement of the sphere in the middle. The direction of G-force is easily conveyed to the player by having a part of the circle housing the sphere flash. It is now easier to see where G is taking effect compared to version 1.

Tires (Angle of tires and grip display improved)
Now the four tires are shown around the circle. The changing color of tires shows how much grip the tires have on the road and how close they are to maximum grip. You can, of course, still see the angle of tires, so that you can use this information to drive effectively.

Frame (Unchanged from version 1)
The driver's vision is expressed by the frame around the screen. The experience of the driver accelerating, decelerating, and even taking a corner is further enhanced by this feature. The feel of bumpy road is also expressed with the frame moving up and down.

Notice the dark shade on the outer part of the screen that represents Gs and bumps:

I am hyped about the tire grip information. I have been dreaming of such a display for a while.

...little bit too complicated. It's not with a normal joystick right?

 

[Deg]

Now this sounds like a potential great racing game.

Mmmm Initial D tracks

Why do I look at this and think that Euthanasia would be a much better title?

 

[Gek54]

Why do I look at you and think FuckShard would be a much better name for you?

 

[PG2G]

That downhill pic may make me consider this game

 

[Amir0x]

Why do I look at your name and think it would be better as FuckShard?

Hey hey, Shard is alright man. Be nice!

 

[Shard]

I dunno, this game game is going up against some pretty stiff competetion in the realsim department what with Gran Turismo 4 and to a lesser extent Forza Mtorsport just around the corner.

Meh, that is about the level of wit and soficstication I would expect somebody named "Gek54" to display.

Why do I look at you and think FuckShard would be a much better name for you?

Because you are an angry, angry man. :lol

Actually GT4's physics still leave something to be desired. TOCA2 is almost better. I would say Forza has GT4's physics beat and if Enthusia gets their controls down tight I would bet it too will beat out GT4.

 

[Shard]

Prehaps that is why GT4 got sent back to the development board for a few more months?

Though, if we are talking about sales, there is no way in hell that Enthuisa is going to kill anything.

Alright well, you have fun playing with your sales charts.
