Crazy. Even the detail on the side mound cliff is spot on, and shadows are rendered where they're supposed to be.

Jezus fuck. I was looking at the real-life footage and thought it looked shit compared to the game. Then i realised it was the other way around.
Man, i'm now fully expecting Epic stuff from GT7 on PS4.
The detail here is insane.

So for more casual fans how much different will it feel than 5? I thought 5 was so...clunky. Still fun, but would this be much different if you didn't exhaust GT5?

Clunky in what sense? The general navigation of the game? If so then that's been completely overhauled.

Why did they go with rolling starts again, are all races like that?

Is it a performance issue or just a lazy way of making the game a bit more difficult?

I read somewhere that it's a performance issue, i.e. the frame rate plummets when all the cars on the grid drop tire smoke at the same time. No idea if that's true or not. Also, lower powered cars and AWD cars generally wouldn't do that, but I digress. I actually probably prefer rolling start to be honest, but I feel for people who prefer the other way (or to at least have the option).

got the same too, but english asian version

It also includes these:

15th Anniversary Cars (20)
15th Anniversary Racing Suit and Helmet
1 Million Credits

Did your Beyond the Apex book come in Chinese or English? I also got the Asian English version and the game itself is has toggleable english/chinese text but really disappointed that I can't read the Apex book

FOR ALL PEOPLE THAT STARTED PLAYING 1.00 VERSION PRIOR TO THE 1.01 UPDATE:

People are reporting how the actual 1.01 update brings changes within actual 1.00 game-structure. There are some changes noted so far over the GTPlanet:

- new career events (Freshman Cup added to National B mode and some others)
- Licenses times have been updated
- Apparently Goodwood Special Events have now issued a prize-cars as well for golding the challenges

Maybe other things have probably been changed as well, so I will be doing a fresh-start for myself and start everything from the beginning (deleting my GT6 Save File from the XMB and start fresh).

Notice how the 1.00 version is an October code that was issued for the traslation, final testings and such, so many things have changed in past 40+ days.

It's definitely much better than the US and EU version with the absolutely terrible My Chemical Romance song.

And seeing how MOTC isn't even in the Japanese intro, the thread title is even more idiotic.

How much wrong can you put into a single post? The GT5 intro song was great, people quite literally hated it before they heard it. If the same song was released by some indie band I am sure you would have loved it.

And the thread title being idiotic? I'd like to see you try to justify that statement.

Shorter times now? Because licenses tests were very easy.

Good thing I stopped playing it and waited for the patch.

Sadly no unless PD patches it. It seems to be linked to the PS3 controller having analog face buttons while the PS4 controller doesn't.

I HAVE to ask... is there a pattern to your avatar changes..? once a month..? everytime you get a new girlfriend..? please tell me..

So has anyone actually got this game yet? I am having pre order jitters due to lack of reviews / all this day one patch talk! I loved GT5 for the SINGLE player career mode only.

Can someone ease my worrying?
 
I like the immersion that comes with a full cockpit, particularly in night races. I never raced a standard car in GT5 simply because they had no cockpits just weird silhouetted cockpits. It's not like there won't be other cars with the same (or better) performance than the Mercedes Vision GT but if it was only deigned to be looked at then that is what I'll do, look at it and not race it.
Well I guess each to their own, but from a 'sim' perspective, and maybe even just a 'car enthusiast' perspective, I think you're missing the point somewhat, or at least your priorities are very different from mine.

For me, car selection is about the unique characteristics of each vehicle. It is not just about raw performance figures, it's the overall handling that the physics guys at PD work so hard to get right.

In the case of the Vision GT, it's not a real car and therefore the characteristics would be based on a lot of estimated data, so it's understandable that it could be one to avoid (not because it has no interior).

But to dismiss/avoid all the Standard cars due to a lack of modelled interior is to miss out on the majority of the game's content. If you believe that you are getting the same driving experience from picking a Premium car with similar performance, then you are mistaken (unless we're talking about a variant of the same model that appears both in Standard and Premium forms) - you are missing out on the unique driving characteristics of most of the cars in the game.

For me, the cockpit view is about having the correct perspective, to feel like I'm sat in the car as I drive, with the correct eye line, etc. It's why people complained about the stupid hood cam before this cockpit view was available in all cars - the hood cam should have been a substitute for a cockpit view on Standards - but the eye line was wrong (too high). In cockpit view, I can get a better feel for the behaviour of the car, and place it more accurately on the track. Interior modelling is nice, but it is simply eye candy that has no effect on my ability to drive the car, whereas the actual view makes the difference.
 
I pre-ordered this puppy though amazon prime with release day delivery... no movement on the package yet. "Not yet Shipped".... anyone else in the same boat?

I totally agree with this point. IMO some of the standard cars in GT5 were the BEST cars considering their unique (and challenging) handling. The Ruf BTR, for example, was an absolute pleasure to slide around corners... it also operated on a razor edge and was very easy to tank into a corner. The satisfaction of getting a clean PR on the Nordschleife always put a smile on my face an resulted in watching the entire replay to check out the epic drifts and moments on the absolute edge of traction. I found no premium car that gave me the same joy.

Seriously? You can't damage individual part of your car? I have a hard time believing that.
There are mechanical damage... the car icon parts start to get red and the car start to get weird symptoms like the wheel pushing more for one side or the engine choked... the car start to get slowly until it can't even turn the engine one.

GT5 have issues with cosmetic damage... that is what you see on car and not what you feel driving.

1.01 patch nerfing cars somehow. I noticed it on Special Stage X with Chevrolet Corvette with 480 kmh maxed. Before patch I was farming money there with stable 425-427 km/h, then after update speed was reduced to 380 and even less (all car settings are the same)
Deleted it.

Yep, same here. I kind of expected some delay in it. I told myself "yeah right" when it said release day delivery but I had a $50 gift card so I was ok with it. We'll see though, I generally never buy games on day 1 so I can't see it being an issue in the future but I am interested to see if it works as advertised. Also, mine says delivery by 8pm as well.

It seems how aerodynamics engine now works as it should. Good. No way Vette can go 425 km/h, 380 max sounds real oposing to 480.

I downloaded the 1.01 patch before playing the game, and the first set of license tests were incredibly easy. Do the time requirements get more challenging later on with more complex license tests?
