God, why can't it be October yet?

Colour balance looks... better, somehow. Not sure how, but somehow.
More Othergame 5-ish.

I like.

driving around the Nordkurve at sunrise is a very different experience from racing in the middle of the night. Choose the latter and visibility is obviously impacted dramatically, the dazzling glare of brake lights preventing you from having a clear view of the track when you're sandwiched in the middle of a pack of cars all vying for pole position. In stark contrast there's almost an air of calm when tackling the same race at dawn as the sun blinks over the horizon.

I can't believe IGN went this far. That's a lot of info to just make up yourself.

We should be running around (naked) and scream night racing is in, that would at least force someone from T10 to confirm or deny.

a lot more like that othergame5, much more realistic in many many ways.
almost perfect.
Now i'd like to believe all those camera angles we see in the b-roll footage are in the game.

I guess I'm the only one who does not care for the old Hockenheimring and prefers the new one. Damn, the old circuit is just straights and chicanes.

I don't know if I'd go so far to say I prefer it, but the new one makes for some really exciting racing. It's not challenging at all, but I think that's why it races so well.

BTW, I hope that during their vacation trip in Europe, they went to the Nordschleife to capture every bits of it like they did with Hockenheim. I just wouldn't be able to drive on it we get the same old version again, GT5 completely spoiled me with its perfect depiction of the track !

PD laser scanned their Ring, right? Along with iRacing's laser scanned tracks, I'm now totally spoiled. It's no longer good enough to have approximations of real world tracks any more. I'd rather see all fictional tracks if they aren't planning on doing it right, tbh. I love fictional tracks anyway. There just aren't too many surprises left on the real world side that get me excited. If you've played the popular titles over the last few years, you've driven around 90% of the best circuits the world has to offer.

its probably the dusk setting seen in the trailer and b-roll.

also, last post on prev page, gif request of the cockpit at dusk from b-roll? hell, gifs of all the good bits? please?

But Lazyjourno compared night to dawn and dusk in the blog, so he should know the difference. He definitely thought he'd raced in the dead of night in his rush to publish something that he'd obviously invented while sitting on the toilet.

 

[NullPointer]

Gotta admit, dusk looks pretty amazing.

Can someone GIF the first 1-2 seconds of the trailer?

Hockenheim is fantastic track for both racing and drifting.

Have been there with driftingo pl to film a video in 2007. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIaRsJtv22w

There are some interesting layouts that one can make in Hockenheim. Lots of shortcuts usually blocked by a wall. Who knows, we might get something like Tsukuba Short.

 

[watership]

So the Headlights. I'm seeing a lack of them being, you know, ON. I'm assuming Turn10 didn't build out a light engine for that, so night racing is probably out?

 

[shinnn]

Strange. Tinypic and Abload just died here. Can't upload nothing.

 

[eso76]

but they specifically mention sunrise and sunset, with the 'sun blinking on the horizon'..
i doubt EVEN ign can mistake that for 'middle of the night'.

plus.."any time of the day" ? i've seen noon and the same kind of dusk in both trailers.
Is it really "any time of the day" or "midday" and "sunset" ? because Ign, you know, it's not the same

Also no, that Hockenheim bit from the leaked trailer was cloudy, like fm3's nurbirgring cloudy.

 

[Mascot]

Voila (from April leak):

Edit: actually, compare that image to Shinnn's GIF - looks like very similar cloud cover:

There are 32 spots for locales.. is that more or less than expected?

Also, 10 different ribbons on the top gear locale

Hocken has 3 variations, Full, national, short + drag strip

6 tracks on the Alps, but 3 of them are just the reverse

 

[Blimblim]

Just got back from the various confs (not MS unfortunately), did any off-screen footage get released from the new stuff yet? Just to know if it has to be my priority tomorrow or not.

I think is a very good layout I agree. Even if we kind of know what fills the pieces

edit: I didn't see you could click the individual cars and it would even give you more info about them, damn thats a lot of stuff

No off-screen footage so far. There were pics showing the same alps track though.

yeah, sky is the same but lighting on cars looked very different. Like Catalunya, if not like the ring.

Wow, there's quite a difference in model quality between the av and non-av cars.
The Escort Cosworth (for example) looks... like it has got a nice personality, shall we say.

[G Rom]

Those screenshots in the hangar really don't do the game any justice and are rather ugly IMO, especially after seeing the direct feed footage from GC.

-edit the sixth element didn't show right away

 

[derFeef]

Woah, whats up with those images in the hangar. The cars look pasted in somehow, really weird.

Ninja edit: Well I guess they probably are, just for the website.

Some look good, but some look off. Maybe the lighting on the car does not match the hangar, and on some the perspective seems off. I am too sensitive to those things so maybe I am the only one seeing it.

Again, what the hell is wrong with the rims? The completely destroy the image (and not in a positive way ...).

Forza 3, by my count, had 21 (or, slightly more if you count things such as ladera as different then camino viejo)

amalfi
mugello
benchmark ring
catalunya
kaido
le mans
maple valley
leguna seca
montserrat
new york
nurburgring
road america
road atlanta
sebring
sedona
sidewinder
silverstone
sunset peninsula
suzuka
tsukuba
motegi

we know F4 has top gear, hockenheim, indy, alps, and infineon... so, if it has that PLUS all of F3, we are still short upwards of 6 tracks!

nope, there's only one laser scanned version of the nordschleife and it's only accessible with rfactor pro:

LiDAR track database includes most of the F1 circuits, North American Indy & NASCAR circuits as well as La Sarthe and the Nordschleife.

I don't get why they don't correct the damn nose. Seriously, Dan talks about how everyone at T10 is such a car enthusiast, but none of them can be bothered to fix the fricking nose?

But then again, fixing the nose won't fix the ugliness of the car.

There's actually a whole lot more wrong with the Enzo model, and it's been that way since FM1. Many of the models were hit and miss then. Just wait until the AP1 S2000 shows up in all its deformed glory.
