As Gran Turismo 5 demo hits PSN, Yamauchi talks up game’s physics engine

December 16, 2009

As Gran Turismo 5 demo hits PSN, Yamauchi talks up game's physics engineThe Gran Turismo 5 demo is finally here, landing on PSN Dec. 17. And although it’s a time trial demo for the purposes of the GT Academy, and so only contains one track and an early build of the game, it’s still damn good for those of us who are fans of the series. And Kazunori Yamauchi has chosen now to start waxing lyrical about the game.

The GT Academy is a chance for Gran Turismo drivers to become real drivers, as Mike detailed earlier this month. The Sixth Axis played the press version of the demo and posted a video of their first attempt to YouTube, as seen below.

Even this early build looks pretty damn good, and speaking to Famitsu magazine in Japan, Kazunori Yamauchi suggests it’ll feel good as well. PS3 Center reports him as describing the new physics engine as “dynamic” and stating that “We feel that this could be nearly the same feel as actually driving.”

Gran Turismo has always billed itself as ‘the real driving simulator’ and maybe GT5 will truly deliver on that. I guess we’ll know more once the demo is out in the wild.

  1. CAD:

    So what is the expiry date?

  2. Saber_HAHAha:

    I expect this game to be good. No, I DEMAND it be good. It will be the #1 title for the PS3 so far, and has an awesome brand history. So far, it’s like it’s developing slower than George Bush in grammar class. Let’s hope is doesn’t score the same marks.

    3 Forza games, and as of far, we get one (excellent) quarter-game that I beat in a day. It damn well better be GODLY. If it isn’t… well, I won’t care, I’m not a racing fan, but Sony will be up to their necks in hydrometafloric ACID (which probably doesn’t exist, but sounds beastly all the same).

    Can’t wait for tomorrow, can’t wait for March 2010.

  3. harry sachz:

    This looks like a very early build. Noticed that the backgrounds looked a little barren and 2d, there weren’t any tyre marks left when the car was skidding etc.

    I am assuming this will all be included in the final build?

  4. Liquid:

    hi guys, im new on this site. i just discovered it the other day. im a ps3 gamer, i enjoy reading the articles on this site.

  5. The Future of Sega:

    This is just highway robbery. I’ll pass. I’ve played the first demo of this crap and sucked HARD. The graphics were outstanding but the steering of the car was absolutely horrible. It was a nightmare! I’ll wait till the reviews come out before I buy this one.

  6. me_:

    It a good thing Kazunori thought to include a dynamic physics model. A physics model based solely on statics would have been a really bad idea.

  7. CON:

    3 Forza games? Sorry it’s only been 2 this gen.

    This game looks so ordinary. Considering ps3 racers can’t by forza I suppose it may be worth picking up but I was expecting it to jump out of the screen because its GT! How is this different from any other racer out there apart from the fact it’s taken half a decade to release?

  8. Roca.:

    3 forza games since GT4.

    and thats a youtube video recorded from a TV. FM3 doesnt stand a chance agaisnt GT5 in graphics, Trust me.

    and wat is wrong with a game taking its to come out, it is not like we have been short on games. and the end result will be much better.

    BTW Alan Wake and Splinter Cell has been in development for about just as long as GT5.

  9. CON:

    Trust you?

    Why do you know something we don’t?

  10. Roca.:

    apperantly you dont know that youtube videos recorded from a TV dont show what the real demo really looks like.

    maybe we can wait for some in-game screen shots

  11. Roca.:

    hey Phranc ModNation Racers Beta goes live today.

  12. St0rmBr1nger:

    Looks and plays amazing… I can’t wait for the full game.

    Makes Forza look like something on the original Xbox/PS2 in comparison.

  13. kev:

    it’s funny watching the ps3 fanboys claim longer-to-market means more features….

    kaz already pointed out Forza 3 has more features than GT5 in past interviews.

    the point is; less games equal less money.

    “dynamic physics”? wtf? next i suppose you ps3 idiots will tell us that physics themselves are dynamic…. after all, gravity only works part time, right? LMAO!!!

    gawd the ps3 fanboys are moron….

    Face it; Forza 3 is the proven king of console
    sims. Will GT5 change that? not looking likely..

    oh well, you can’t stay on top forever…

    judging from the pics and videos, i’m sorely disappointed that kaz couldn’t keep pace with Forza 3′s graphics. they are clearly sharper and more detailed than what GT5 is showing….

    will they get better before launch? who knows, but not looking good….bleh…

    i just can’t help but giggle when the ps3 idiot claim this will be a system seller, then watch them ignore the fact GT5p was hyped to be the same thing and fell flat…..lmao…

    good luck ps3 fanboys…you’re going to need it…

  14. kev:

    roca – “BTW Alan Wake and Splinter Cell has been in development for about just as long as GT5.”

    it’s funny wathcing you claim to know about 360 games when you don’t own a 360…

    fanboy…lmao..

  15. Roca.:

    Kev,

    you dont really need to wait until GT5 comes out to know which games destroys the other in term of graphics. Play GT5p (a 3 year old game) and you will see FM3 doesnt stand a chance.

    FM3 is a arcady racing game with shitty graphics if you compare it to the Real Racing Sim

    Kev – “Face it; Forza 3 is the proven king of console
    sims. Will GT5 change that? not looking likely..”

    it’s funny wathcing you claim to know about PS3 games when you don’t own a PS3…

    fanboy…lmao..

  16. kev:

    roca – “you dont really need to wait until GT5 comes out to know which games destroys the other in term of graphics”

    true. Forza 3 has set the bar so high, it’s apparent GT5 can’t match…

    i don’t see GT5 change the fact FM3 is the new king. there has been nothing kaz has said, shown or promised that would change this.

    GT5p just launched in january…how is it a 3 year old game? LMAO..

    you know it’s bad when you have to lie….again…

    “FM3 is a arcady racing game with shitty graphics if you compare it to the Real Racing Sim”

    it’s funny…out of the dozens and dozens of reviews out there on FM3, NONE of them make the claim you do…. they’ve played it; you haven’t…ouch…

    keep the dream alive fanboy..lmao..

  17. kev:

    roca – hey, you going to own up and admit sony lied in their “black friday week” claims using sales outside of the US, unlike MS?

  18. kev:

    *sigh*..yeah..i didn’t think you had the courage either, Roca….

    pathetic….

  19. kev:

    see you in a few days, clown…

    “GT5 is a 3 year old game” – Roca.

    i can’t wait to share a laugh with some friends over this comment of yours….friggin hilarious…lmao..

  20. Roca.:

    acutally GT5p is a 2 year old game that look and play way better than you newly arcady Forza 3.

    if you going to keep talking shit, trying backing it with some links next time.

    GTP5 launched in January lol

  21. twilight:

    “Forza 3 is the proven king of console sims.” Yes, it certainly is in your own mind. The complete game hasn’t come out yet and GT5P has sold more copies than Forza 3. If you look at overall sales, Forza is just a bleep on the radar compared to the Grand Turismo series.

  22. SW:

    Now c’mon, who didn’t predict that Kev would post on this topic at least 5 times? I know I did :P

  23. CAD:

    Roca

    Come on you can’t be serious about GT5P being Better then Fora 3. Bumper car physics to a real racing sim. Roca I know your a fanboy but at least be honest. You must be one of those colour blind people that are having problems with COD5. Go compare colours with a female and you’ll see just how messed up your eyes are. I myself have a hard time distiguishing really deep dark colours that are similar like a dark dark Navy Blue to Black.

  24. Roca.:

    I never said its better. I said it looks better and the plays better, meaning they cars drive in GT5p.

    GT5p has 7 tracks and 70 cars. I wouldnt never say its better a better game. but certanly look better than FM3

  25. CON:

    LMAO @ ROCA

    You’ve just lost all credibility with that gt5p being better than Forza3 statement.

  26. ncaissie:

    @CON You never had any.
    The same goes for CAD and Kev.

  27. twilight:

    Ha!Ha!

  28. Roca.:

    I never said GT5p “the game” is better than FM3. I said GT5p does look better and has a better driving engine than FM3.

    you guys can twist it all you want if it makes you feel a bit better though. I can understand you the 3 of you are coming from.

  29. Roca.:

    credibility?

    what credibility do you guys have when claiming FM3 look better than GT5 (a game that’s not out yet) or GT5p. then some of you even went as far as to claim that Gears 2, Ace Combat 3 and ODST look better than Uncharted 2. I remember Kev claiming Halo Wars was a RPG lol. and then (the killer) a 200 post argument from you guys stating that PSN is not free.

    lmao talk about credibility

  30. Happyhockum:

    Roca

    Nothing CON, CAD or Kev ever said was like as dumb as you bleating on about how optical audio was the best available or how HDMI was great cos it allowed an optical audio link.

    Forza 3 looks beautiful btw.

    As for you trying to split hairs over the physics of it and a game you’ve never seen.

    Hilarious.

  31. phranctoast:

    I played Forza 3 last weekend. Aside from GT5p which I haven’t played, GTHD that came out early within the first year of the PS3′s life looked better. The street alone aside from the car models blow whatever I seen in the Forza 3 demo out of the water.

    Take that for what it’s worth.

  32. Roca.:

    “Forza 3 looks beautiful btw”
    for a 360 it does. cant argue that!

    HH: “As for you trying to split hairs over the physics of it and a game you’ve never seen”

    I have played the demo, and my experienced wasnt all that great. Cockpit view looked horrible, cars flips and bounce, car models are not as details as the ones in GT5p.

    btw you shouldnt be talking you are the one claiming Uncharted 2 is not the best looking game and you havent even played or seem then game runnning a PS3 yet. lol ……..and then you went as far as to claim Gears, Ace Combat 6 and ODST look better than Uncharted 2.

    you were also the one to claimed BD has 5 years left as of 2008. and you also posted made up November sales numbers.

    ahhhh…gotta love the hummor

  33. MisterX:

    I pulled some review rating of gamespot between 2 racing game Forza and Grand Turismo. I added Uncharted 2 for comparison.

    Gamespot rating of:
    Grand Turismo 5 – ?????
    Grand Tursmo 4 – 8.9
    Grand Turismo 3 – 9.4
    Grand Turismo 2 – 8.5
    Grand Turismo 1 – 8.6

    Gamespot rating of:
    Forza 3 – 9.5
    Forza 2 – 9.2
    Forza 1 – 9.2

    Uncharted 2 – 9.5

    Clearly uncharted 2 with rating of 9.5 vs Forza 3 with rating 9.5 should both have equal or feature wise excellent game.

    I rely on Gamespot rating to help me decide with my game purchase. It got to start somewhere. If I have both console I would try both of them just to see which one I would get. Unfortunately, forza at this moment is the only one out there. So to all who claim GT5 is the best, well I guess they are reviewing forza and gt demo. Agreed?

  34. phranctoast:

    @MisterX
    I would check out metacritic. They at least get a whole group of reviews.

  35. MisterX:

    but still GT5 is not released yet. Can I find GT5 review at metacritic?

  36. phranctoast:

    I mean for reviews in general. They also include gamespot.

  37. MisterX:

    I look it up and the number between metacritic and gamespot slightly different but good rating.

    Metacritic rating
    Grand Turismo 4 – 89
    Grand Turismo 3 – 95

    Forza 3 – 92
    Forza 2 – 90

    Uncharted 2 – 96

    So what now?

  38. Roca.:

    what does the score has to do with the graphics? between FM3 and GT5/GT5p.

    and FM3 wont be a direct comparation to GT5 as GT5 will have a Full Nascar Mode and W2R racing. which will basically mean FM3 + Dirt + Nascar

  39. MisterX:

    @Roca

    Nothing to do with graphic at all.. but I guess u r the guru of graphic. What’s ur credential again?

  40. phranctoast:

    “Nothing to do with graphic at all.. but I guess u r the guru of graphic. What’s ur credential again?”

    I’m going to guess “eyes without Bill gates spunk squirted in them”

  41. Roca.:

    “What’s ur credential again?”

    certanly not gamespot lol. I was just saying because we were talking about graphics and then you brought up the gamestpot’s reviews.

    but yeah I played the FM3 demo and I can say I was impressed just like many of us who are racing fans and were a bit disappointed by the demo.

    Phranc compared it to the GTHD demo which came out a month after the PS3 was released (Dec 2006). I never thought of that but I can agree because that demo did looked good!

  42. Happyhockum:

    MisterX

    Don’t worry, when an Xbox game is a few points ahead of a PS3 game Roca is happy to dismiss the difference as being practically invisible.

    Obviously that just doesn’t work the other way around.

    Still, PS3 fanboys, what do you expect?

  43. Happyhockum:

    phranctoast

    Excuse my scepticism but as another member of the committed PS3 support group I have my doubts that your comparison was accurate.

    Did you test both side by side?

  44. Roca.:

    did you test Ace Combat 6 or ODST side by side to Uncharted 2?

    Still, pathetic xbot, what do you expect?

  45. phranctoast:

    “phranctoast

    Excuse my scepticism but as another member of the committed PS3 support group I have my doubts that your comparison was accurate.

    Did you test both side by side?”

    OMG happy. I had no idea that you were also another member of the PS3 support group. Did you get your sticker that allows you to park in handicapped spaces and piss on toilet seats ?(thank you dennis L)

    Not side by side.
    GTHD looked better at 1080i on my TV I just replaced,
    than Forza 3 did on one of Best Buys 1080p TV.

    One thing I will give F3, is I really did like the rewind feature. I know it’s nothing new to racers, but it’s still a cool feature when you’re just getting used to the controls.

  46. ncaissie:

    “eyes without Bill gates spunk squirted in them”

    LMAO funny shit.

  47. Happyhockum:

    Yeah, as expected a diversion away from the point.

    So, when you’re bashing Xbox games how do you base your observations?

    It’s hilarious, only magazine review, screenshots and video footage are allowed for you to slag off anything Xbox.
    Anyone doing similar (not even bashing a game, just refusing to see it as devine) is disallowed.

    You’re a hypocrite Roca, a saddo fanboy hypocrite.

  48. ncaissie:

    The hell with GT5, I want God of War 3 :-)

  49. Happyhockum:

    phranctoast

    Sorry but professional reviewers excepted (and even then I’m sceptical given their advertising needs) unless it’s a side by side comparison done at the same time on the same kit it’s just anecdote.

  50. phranctoast:

    side by side would have been better and I’ll give you that.

    Also my 1080i TV was rear projection and the artifacting and blur on LCD’d is distracting in comparison.

    I think the biggest difference is that F3 was in 720p natively and GTHD was 1080p (even if I couldn’t achieve that) so it just looked more pristine.

  51. Roca.:

    wtf are you talking about HH, I dont think you have played neither. so you are just doing your usual daily rant.

    btw, what are you arguing about? do you also think FM3 look better than GTHD, GT5p or GT5?

    because you graphical judgments are nothing to go for after you claimed ODST looked better than U2

  52. Happyhockum:

    Roca

    “Rant”

    LMAO.

    Like I said.

    You often pass judgement on Xbox games…..what sort of in-depth and comparative experience do you have of them, huh?

    None.

    You’re a total hypocrite.

    You were here whinging away about about how a couple of points score difference meant nothing (when it was the PS3 game trailing) but when the situation is reversed you’re making huge claims.

    Hypocrite.

  53. Roca.:

    I asked you if you have played either one of them, any GT on the PS3 or FM3?

    have you played Uncharted 2 to actually claimed ODST looks better?

    do you think FM3 looks better than any GT game on the PS3?

    stop avoiding the questions, you are actually good at that!

    and we are talking about graphics not score, if it was based on score GTA4 will be the best looking game.

  54. Roca.:

    well im out of work.

    see you guys when I get home, if I have time though I will be playing ModNation Racer [beta] for most of the day

  55. Happyhockum:

    Roca

    Well let’s see, considering I bought the 250gb Super Elite Forza 3 Xbox what do you think?

    Like I said, you can use review, screenshot & video to form opinions but nobody else, right?

    I began this saying Forza was fantastic, and it is.

  56. MisterX:

    @ happy

    “Well let’s see, considering I bought the 250gb Super Elite Forza 3 Xbox what do you think?”

    you mean it’s already out?

    Happy, I got a Q about BR player. I am not sure if u are the person to ask or not? what do you think about panasonic DMP-BD605K? It’s on costco for $129 with Viera cast etc. Can it play H.264 file format?

  57. CON:

    Speaking of exclusives is sony going to release another getaway game? The graphics were amazing on the ps2.

  58. Saber_HAHAha:

    Games can be in development for as long as they want as long as:

    1. There are plenty of new games being released on that console

    2. The development time is justified by the game’s content and quality.

    #1 is already true for the PS3 (although the sim-racing genre is weak right now on PS3), and #2 should be true. If this game isn’t much better than Forza 3, that’s a loss. There is no doubt that Forza 3 is incredible, but GT5 is lined up to be nearly perfect. All I want is much better AI and a good damage system.

    @ Happy

    I don’t know if you really said that ODST looks better than U2 like Roca is claiming, but if so, you just have to know that ODST and U2 are like mud and diamonds (graphically). Almost every critic agrees that Uncharted 2 is the best looking game to hit a console, but ODST hasn’t gotten graphical praise anywhere near that. And trust me, it’s for a reason.

  59. oldschool1987:

    I knew Kev would come on here spitting his venom.

    fanboy… lmao

  60. Happyhockum:

    Mister X

    The Panny is a great player and at that price a bit of a steal.
    Afaik it doesn’t have .mkv support – but it is highly rated for Blu-ray & DVD image quality.

    Price will be your decider I guess but if you want my opinion about the best Blu-ray stand-alone right now I’d have to say the LG 390.
    All the features you’re likely to want or need.

    The big one missing from most Blu-ray players is multi-region for Blu-ray, some service menu hex codes/hacks are out there but lots of players lose that once the firmware is updated, some require a hardware mod.

  61. Happyhockum:

    Saber_HAHAha

    TBH this all started when the resident PS3 f*ckwit troll decided to preach at everyone how U2 was the most amazing looking game ever.
    I am not persuaded.

    I have seen nothing to change my view that it is very good but I’ve seen better (on PC especially…..but then PC beats all the consoles for eye-candy).

    The best of PS3 to me looks like the best of Xbox.

    Sorry if you don’t agree but the idea that it is a matter of obvious and clear distinction is, in my view, a fantasy PS3 owners are now pushing
    (because it’s hurting sales when everyone says they both look the same?).

    If you say you see a night and day difference then good for you, I see something of no real difference.

  62. Barnabe Jones:

    I can’t wait to experience the GT 5 demo today and be reborn anew it it’s awesomeness. :)

  63. Barnabe Jones:

    GT 5 is a religious expeirence.

    Forza is kinda like eating left over macaroni and cheese. It gets the job done, but it’s cheesy, lifeless, and cold.

  64. oldschool1987:

    I thought the GT5 demo was a bit shit tbh

  65. Saber_HAHAha:

    @ Happy

    If you are implying that ODST is among the best-looking Xbox games, I would have to disagree. ‘Cause from how I’m seeing it now, you claimed it “looks better than Uncharted 2″. I know there’s a chance that you were misquoted or Roca was exaggerating your statement. However, you made no attempt to deny that, and I’ll stick by one-and-only argument (I did not mention any games besides ODST and U2) that I made with you in my previous comment: no matter how you twist your tongue, Halo 3: ODST and Uncharted 2 are NOT graphically arguable. And I’m not convinced that any person, fanboy or fair, can change that anytime soon.

    Please, if I’m arguing over facts that you never claimed, tell me now before I get the wrong impression. I don’t think you are graphically impaired. If you can see the difference between PC games and console games, you are able to tell the difference between Uncharted 2 and Halo ODST.

  66. Happyhockum:

    Saber_HAHAha

    Halo ODST has some fantastic graphics.

    Maybe it’s cos we’re not using the same kit but upscaled through my Onkyo 875 REON chipset it looks great to me.
    Ditto the others I mentioned.

    U2 as I have said all the way through this looks nice but best ever?
    Cobblers.

    There’s a gaggle of them all look much the same, U2 looks a little er ‘different’ (I mentioned before about contrast, colour saturation and sharpness) but I do not accept that necessarily makes it actually better, just different.

    It’s certainly nothing even close to photographic realism, which in my view is the test.
    I’ve seen PCs which can reproduce an almost photographically real image (in game) but none of the consoles get close, yet.

  67. oldschool1987:

    Typical fanboy comment saying U2 ain’t the best looking console game ever, how can people actually deny that! You may aswell say ‘If it’s not Xbox then it’s shit’

    ODST was not that good looking! It looked dated but it played beautifully! Amazing game/add-on lol but the parts where you play as the rook look terrible and dull.

    U2 is one of the most innovative games to date, I wish fanboys would suck it up and say it looks like a good game or at least admit it IS the best looking console game atm.

    Before you say I’m a Sony fanboy, I have the 360 and beast it all the time, on Mass Effect now and I fucking love it.

  68. Ivan_PSP:

    Halo OSDT LMFAO decent graphics at best.

  69. oldschool1987:

    Yeah but it is a very good game Ivan mate, except the Rookie bits, they bored me. I just wanted to play as the other team members instead of wandering around looking for helmets lol.

  70. Roca.:

    Saber

    Happy claimed that Gears 2, Ace Combat 5 and ODST look better than U2. if Happy can admit he said I can get you the quote

  71. oldschool1987:

    @ Roca: If he says that then he’s a proven fanboy who’ blinded by fanboyism lol. Not seen anything of Ace Combat 5 tbh so I can’t judge there. But Gears and ODST? No way.

  72. RobertCarr316:

    Lets throw this retarded flame war and aside and lets talk about the brand new iron man 2trailer that just came out like 2 hours ago…..il give you a quick summary…OMG ITS AMAZING YOUR EYES WILL BURN FROM THE AWSOMENESS THAT IS IRON MAN 2

    heres a link
    http://www.firstshowing.net/2009/12/17/must-watch-first-official-trailer-for-jon-favreaus-iron-man-2/

    just be careful your eyes might get damaged :D

  73. RobertCarr316:

    *retarded flame war aside and lets talk

    should have proof read my bad

  74. oldschool1987:

    Can’t handle any more awesomeness Robert, I’m still jizzig over the fact I’m going to see Avatar this weekend lol.

  75. oldschool1987:

    jizzing*

  76. Happyhockum:

    You can claim whatever you like the fact is that whatever difference there are aree minor & minute.

    Different does not (in my book at least) necessarily mean better.

    I have not once bashed U2 but in my view it’s just cr@p to pretend it’s the best looking game ever.

  77. harry sachz:

    *gives oldie a wide berth*. That stuff stings the eyes.

  78. oldschool1987:

    @ Harry: My gf found out that the hard(-on) way lol.

    @ Happy: OK just give me a few console games that look better please, in your opinion.

  79. Happyhockum:

    oldschool1987

    I already said.
    As good or better, in my opinion.

    The air combat shooter Ace Combat 6 (not 5), Halo 3 (and ODST if you like), Gears 2 for starters.

    Whatever you think of U2 you are talking about (at best) a couople of review points difference.

    Like I said, a little while back we were treated to Roca’s standard PS3 fanboy wisdom – when it was an Xbox game reviewed & put a few points better than a PS3 game it, apparantly, meant there was no real discernable difference.
    When it’s a PS3 game that is reviewed and said to be couple of points better suddenly it’s proof positive of a vast gulf between the consoles.

    It’s complete boll*cks and you know it.
    They both look much the same.

  80. CarlB:

    I have to agree UC2 is pretty, but if the same game was done on 360, the difference would be minor, if any. I was not overwhelmed by it’s graphics, but it was a great game, and this whole “superiority” argument is actually quite trite. In any case, I didn’t think I would be the first one here to get the God of War Collection platinum trophy… fun stuff that… aaand back to GameFly with it now that I’m done… awesome games btw.

  81. CarlB:

    Platinum trophies actually…

  82. Spideydog:

    How did I know that this thread would take off ……

    Thanks, I knew there was some sanity & reason to be had around here.

  84. Roca.:

    CarlB if this game was done on the 360 it will look just the same right? thats why not even MS first party exclusive look as good as multiplatform games and nowhere near PS3 first party title. and that is why Gears has been the best looking 360 game since the first one came out.

    and Congrats on GoW Collection Plat. I have been working on lately but I also been playing other stuff.

  85. phranctoast:

    I know for a fact that Roca was first with the GOW1 plat.

    You must be talking about both. I barely started the second game. I think I’m going to delay that until closer to March of next year to prepare for GOW3.

    your list would be a average game on the PS3 in terms of graphics

    Gears2 vs Uncharted 2?
    Ace Combat 6 vs Wipeout HD?
    ODST vs Killzone 2?

    ODST shouldnt even be in your list, most reviews stated “the Graphics looks dated and its showing its age”

  87. phranctoast:

    The thing that annoys me about happy the most with this uncharted 2 conversation about graphics, is me and him made a bet on whether Halo Reach would be the most graphically intense game next year, and if the same type of bet was made this year with U2, all he’s proving is he would never concede at all.

    I would have long ago thrown up the white flag on this. How many people need to praise the graphics in order for it to be accepted as the best this gen?

    Even the photo realistic graphics argument (F3 and AC6) was shot down and agreed upon by him as being easier to achieve due to less background objects being rendered. One could almost make the argument then that Dragons Lair and Space Ace games are graphically the most superior to anything out there with that type of logic.

    Anyway.
    Happy. Go check out the latest Heavy Rain videos on Gametrailers. They kind of upped the ante in the graphics dept. and is going to make the upcoming year with our bet all the more fun :)

    Thanks for the Iron Man trailer. I love those Marvel and DC movies. I was greatly disappointed with Superman Returns but watched it 10 times anyway. I’m one of the Biggest superman fans going. Brian Singer can kiss my ass. I’m even painting my boat blue on top yellow on the bottom and the superman crest on the bow.

    Great games don’t mean good graphics. Look at Mario Galaxy.

  89. kev:

    roca – “I never said its better. I said it looks better and the plays better, meaning they cars drive in GT5p.”

    what looks better in gt5p? textures, lighting, car models, mapping,….what?

    having played both, i can safely say FM3 is clearly better looking and better playing (due to more accurate physics) than GT5p…..

    since GT5 is using the same graphics and physics engine of GT5p, it’s safe to assume FM3 will still be better than GT5….

    you are truly a sad, sad little fanboy..

    you are the LAST mf’er that should ask for links after you refuse to admit sony lied in their “black friday” sales claims…

    twilight – GT5p (according to Roca) has been on sale for 2 years while FM3 has been on sale for ONE month. you still want to compare sales numbers? friggin ps3 clowns….

    btw; FM3 just sold 1 million in one month…at this rate they will easily surpass GT5p sales in less than a year….OUCH!!! LMAO!!!

  90. kev:

    ROCA – “I never said GT5p “the game” is better than FM3. I said GT5p does look better and has a better driving engine than FM3.”

    really? you think that a game using less physics parameters is going to offer a more realistic sim experience than one with more?

    you = fool.

    then again, we already knew that…lmao..

  91. kev:

    Roca, here’s a idea.

    next time just say, “ALL PS3 GAMES ARE SUPERIOR TO 360 GAMES JUST BECAUSE I SAID SO”…

    save the bandwidth…. you haven’t had an intelligent rebuttal since you’ve started posting here…..

  92. phranctoast:

    “you are the LAST mf’er that should ask for links after you refuse to admit sony lied in their “black friday” sales claims…”

    You still have yet to show this, and even if you are correct that they used worldwide numbers it doesn’t make them liars.

    figure that one out and you’ll finally realize the definition of that word and maybe stop using it twice per post.

  93. kev:

    phranc – “You still have yet to show this, and even if you are correct that they used worldwide numbers it doesn’t make them liars.”

    they used Canada’s numbers…..

    there’s is already articles pointing this out, with sony refusing to print a retraction..

    yes, sony lied….and in typical ps3 fanboy fashion, you ignore the truth because your tongue is up their ass…lmao…

  94. kev:

    phranc – if i post a link, will you admit sony lied and you’re an idiot fanboy?

    Sorry but professional reviewers excepted (and even then I’m sceptical given their advertising needs) unless it’s a side by side comparison done at the same time on the same kit it’s just anecdote.”

    So kev. Have you played them side by side? Happy here would not accept your opinion unless you have.

  96. kev:

    phranc – yes, i’ve played GT5p and FM3….

    side by side? wtf…? is this your excuse? i’m not talking about happy…

    i don’t need his opinion. why did you ignore this question? “if i post a link, will you admit sony lied and you’re an idiot fanboy?”

  97. kev:

    phranc/Roca – if GT5p is so much better than FM3, why is FM3 scoring sooo much higher in the reviews?

    Explanation please…

  98. phranctoast:

    NPD numbers count Canada.

    post any link you want.

    In order for someone to lie they have to mislead with false information. I don’t see how Sony did this.

    If Sony said they used US numbers and then used world numbers that would be a lie. If they said no such thing and gave their numbers and it turned out to be worldwide that would not be a lie.

    It’s amazing it’s so difficult for you to understand that.

    It’s a moot point anyway as the 440k are NPD numbers and you’re an ass.

  99. oldschool1987:

    Kev’s on here now, therefore I am leaving.

    Also the fact that Xbox fanboys think ODST is one of the most graphically superior games ever says it all.

  100. kev:

    phranc – actually, MS was speaking about US-only sales as this is where “black friday” is celebrated.

    ever been to canada? no black friday announcements…

    “In order for someone to lie they have to mislead with false information. I don’t see how Sony did this.”

    of course you don’t. you’re an idiot ps3 fanboy, meaning you will never see sony, the ps3 or their games for what they are, only what you want them to be.

    the 440k are NOT the “NPD numbers”, idiot… sony never claimed they got their data from NPD, since they made the 440k claim before NPD even had their monthly sales totals yet…

    will you admit they lied if i post a link? why do you keep running from this question?

    if you were as convinced as you’re pretending to be, it wouldn’t be an issue….

  101. kev:

    old – “Kev’s on here now, therefore I am leaving.”

  104. phranctoast:

    When someone poses a question as you do that’s the logical response.

  105. kev:

    phranc – Okay…i’ll rephrase since you’re such a delicate flower…

    if i post a link proving sony did not use US-only sales numbers in their 440k sales claim, will you admit they lied, oh wise and exhalted one?

  106. phranctoast:

    “A lie (also called prevarication, falsehood) is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others, often with the further intention to maintain a secret or reputation, protect someone’s feelings or to avoid a punishment. To lie is to state something that one knows to be false or that one does not honestly believe to be true with the intention that a person will take it for the truth. A liar is a person who is lying, who has previously lied, or who tends by nature to lie repeatedly.

    Lying is typically used to refer to deceptions in oral or written communication. Other forms of deception, such as disguises or forgeries, are generally not considered lies, though the underlying intent may be the same. However, even a true statement can be considered a lie if the person making that statement is doing so to deceive. In this situation, it is the intent of being untruthful rather than the truthfulness of the statement itself that is considered.”

    Sony said they sold 440K on black Friday.

    good luck.

  108. kev:

    phranc – ““A lie (also called prevarication, falsehood) is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others,…”

    exactly… using “week of black friday” sales for countries that do not celebrate black friday is deceptive. Using SCEA personnel (U.S.) to make the statement is also deceptive as it deceived all of you ps3 fanboys into beleiving it must be US-only since the announcement came from SCEA…

    now…answer my question….

  109. kev:

    “A lie (also called prevarication, falsehood) is a type of deception in the form of an untruthful statement, especially with the intention to deceive others,

    oh…and using PAL territories (South America) in sony’s “european sales” numbers is also deceptive….

    then again, i don’t expect you to admit this either as South America and the EU are neighbors in playstationland…lmoa..

    i’ll check in later to count the insults…after all, it’s all you ps3 idiots have left…

    ROCA – remember when you said the inclusion of SUV in FM3 meant it wasn’t realistic? Kaz is hinting that motorcycles are a possibility in GT5… using your logic, GT5 is no longer a sim…. ouch….LMAO!!

    One has to consider the legitimacy of you link or if you even have one to begin with.

    Also by definition,

    where does that exist?
    post the official statement and lets pick it apart.

    “The thing that annoys me about happy the most with this uncharted 2 conversation about graphics, is me and him made a bet on whether Halo Reach would be the most graphically intense game next year, and if the same type of bet was made this year with U2, all he’s proving is he would never concede at all”

    Hardly.

    Just for the fun of it I already said I would go by independent awards – otherwise we’d never have agreed anything.
    That’s also entirely irrelevant to this discussion.

    What I am getting at here is the b*llocks Roca has been pushing for weeks.

    It’s pretty obvious it ticks him off something terrible that when it comes down to it anyone looking can say that PS3 & Xbox produce an end product that looks pretty much identical.
    So much for all the ‘power of the Cell’ cr@p.
    That’s what all this is really about.

    U2 may or may not be the best game graphic out there right now (by a tiny margin, at best).
    Some reviewers say it is but we all know how many of them are directly tied by their fanzine and/or by advertising revenue needs.

    Personally I’ve seen nothing that stands out as especially ‘wow’ about it.
    A bit different (as I’ve said all along) but nothing to justify Roca’s BS about it being so clearly on a different level.
    That’s just obvious fanboy sh!te.

    As was oldschool1987′s
    “saying U2 ain’t the best looking console game ever, how can people actually deny that! You may aswell say ‘If it’s not Xbox then it’s shit’”

    This is about as idiotic as kev’s suggested alternative for the PS3 fanboys –
    ” “ALL PS3 GAMES ARE SUPERIOR TO 360 GAMES JUST BECAUSE I SAID SO”… ”

    Then we have Roca’s own comment that if a mere couple of points separate a game then there is in effect no practical discernible difference.
    Of course reading his cr@p it’s obvious he reckons that only applies to PS3 games when it’s an Xbox game that leads in the scores.

    TBH they all look pretty good nowadays, but they all look much the same in that goodness.

    Anyone trying to pretend that there is a night and day difference is just a ludicrous lying fanboy.

    The difference here is that I have never once bashed U2, or any PS3 game for that matter.
    But my honest refusal to accept that U2 is the best ever is taken, by the lunatic PS3 fanboy element, as a horrible slur on their beloved.

    That’s the way it works around here with some posters.
    If you don’t go along with the PS3 hype then you must be bashing and a blinkered Xbot/Xbox fanboy.
    It’s pretty laughable stuff.

    The best joke of all is that whilst holding up a handful of supposedly amazing 1st party games they are absolutely blind to the fact that most 3rd party games (and there are a hell of a lot more of them) are done better on Xbox – and with PS3 such a pi$$-poor seller of even it’s best games you can bet it’s staying that way.

    But you won’t hear a peep about any of that.

  124. CarlB:

    “CarlB if this game was done on the 360 it will look just the same right?”

    Roca, I didn’t say that. I said if it was done on the 360, the differences would be minor, if any. This is taking into consideration that the same team spent the same years trying to utilize every single aspect of the 360 system in combination with creating new programming tricks in order to play on it’s strengths.

    As it stands, I’m glad Sony managed to get a couple of exclusive games (UC2 and KZ2) with a slight graphics edge over the competition’s. They need this now and in future exclusives as well in order to gain some kind of ground… as it is though I doubt the mainstream will notice or even care that much, as the difference is slight, and it is in only a relatively few titles. If people really cared that much about graphics, everybody would be buying the PC version of MW2 or Dragon Age instead of the 360 versions, as they would see a much more obvious leap in graphics.

    Regardless, the graphics engines will likely continue to improve for both consoles, especially as sales give incentive to developers to continue to use their resources and innovate.

  125. phranctoast:

    @kev

    good link. I’ll take it for legitimate.

    Still not a lie by definition but it definitely not telling the whole story.

    Just like MS did and you article makes note of that. You do recall that was what I was saying in that other topic that spurred the whole debate to begin with.

    “i like the fact he even contacted sony and they said they will not clarify the sales data….”

    They did say they would clarify when asked though. They just weren’t going to release a press release about it.

  126. kev:

    phranc- “Still not a lie by definition but it definitely not telling the whole story.”

    sony was being purposely deceptive, otherwise they would have claim their 440k were for US-only, as MS did….

    i’m just amazed you acknowledged the link. maybe next time you ps3 fanboys will do a little more due diligence before hyping sony-generated claims…. but i doubt it.

    “Just like MS did and you article makes note of that.”

    MS never gave a number, but they DID say they were using US-only numbers. way more ethical and sound than sony’s lies…

  127. phranctoast:

    “MS never gave a number, but they DID say they were using US-only numbers. way more ethical and sound than sony’s lies…”

    My mention of this is I said they came out and said nothing and you disagreed. The article also points out that they said nothing.

  130. phranctoast:

    what are you working nights now?

  131. phranctoast:

    @Happy.

    I can’t speak for Roca, but it does crack me up that you get so upset about things. If he or Ivan say something absurd you seem to concentrate on those comments more so than legitimate ones other people say.

    “Any contradictions to it on my behalf or minimal.”
    Maybe the cell comment was over the line when U2 itself proved otherwise.

    Your comments of third part is good, but usually thr differences are minimal and hardly worth mentioning.

    Contrast on the 360 looks better while PS3 maintains higher resolution textures. Contrast is the first thing noticed so its the first thing mentioned.

  132. Happyhockum:

    phranctoast

    Come on, it’s a message board.

    I doubt anyone ever got truly “upset” about anything that ever appeared here.

    (*with the possible exception of Ivan, maybe – and I’m only saying that because he has to be some sort of nut-job to go inventing tales of the stuff he says he owns to impress people he doesn’t know and probably will never meet on an internet board)

  133. phranctoast:

    Tw@t?

    what email domain is that ;)

  134. Happyhockum:

    BTW

    Cell’s a great number-cruncher.
    That doesn’t necessarily make it a great game console CPU.

    Consider this.
    What if U2 is it?

    Nevermind the sneak previews of a couple of games to come (they – all – can always be cast in a favourable light when it’s not a game in your hands) but what if U2 or very close to it are ‘it’; as far as PS3 goes?
    ND reckoned they had to practically by-pass the GPU & max out every SPU of the Cell CPU.
    So what if (small software tweaks aside) that’s it?

    Personally (if the same question is put as regards Xbox) I wouldn’t be at all surprised.
    I’m expecting Alan Wake to raise the bar but I think we are at or very close to ‘it’ for this gen.

    (and my bet is that they will both end it having ended up looking much the same all the way through)

  135. Happyhockum:

    LOL

    I wonder if it’s bee bought up yet?

  136. phranctoast:

    If they did most of the work on the SPU’s I’m amazed at the fact that they could get away with what appears to me as the best looking game this gen. I’m highly suspect though. I really believe both the GPU and the SPU’s were used but this time as opposed to uncharted 1 almost entirely the GPU being used more work was issued to the SPU’s. I still think there was a misinterpretation in NG’s statement.
    If not…..WOW… to think that the the PS3′s CPU could handle the game without help is mind boggling.

    I would be sad if this is it, but I really don’t believe that to be the case.

  137. Happyhockum:

    phranctoast

    Did you hear about the original intention for the PS3?
    I’ve read that it was originally planned to have no GPU and 2 x the Cell CPU.
    If that is true then Cell was always developed with that capacity in mind.
    The tale is that they realised 2 x Cell (at launch particularly) would be prohibitively expensive and so 1 Cell got dumped and the then most cost effective GPOU they could source (an Nvidia 7800) was used.

    In as much as it’s impressive that they could get that out of the Cell it does make me wonder just how much of a dead weight and a mistake that GPU was.

  138. CAD:

    Happy

    I will agree. I don’t see what is so special about the UC2 Graphics either. I don’t know why PS3 game graphics are being hailed like they are the best thing ever when I’ve seen similar quality in other games. I personally believe Sony pays off the reviewers to say this. After all it was the one black eye that plauged the PS3 in the begining. Does UC2 look good? Yes it does. Is it the best graphical game ever? It’s up there with the best of them. Being superior to anything else is a Lie. The same goes for Killzone. It’s a shame that Sony whole operation is built on a Lie.

  139. CAD:

    Kev

    Wow so not only did they lie about Europe’s numbers they also lied about Black Friday sales. LOL Yet another lie from Sony. Show my your friends and I’ll show you who you are. PS3 fanboys definately fit this statement.

    “phranctoast

    Did you hear about the original intention for the PS3?
    I’ve read that it was originally planned to have no GPU and 2 x the Cell CPU.”

    woohoo.. $800 dollar launch PS3…yay.

    Truth be told, it seems that the GPU for the most part is holding it’s own. Dead weight would hardly be my phrase. I think a good balance between the two will be what we’ll see in the future. Now if they can get around the whole “shared memory constraints”.

  141. phranctoast:

    @happy and CAD.

    you guys really just need to play it.

    Theres footage shown online that appears to be cutscenes that are actually straight out of the games engine and playable.

    The flipping truck comes to mind.

    You have to run while firing back at it to destroy it and that starts the diving portion and the cutscene itself.

  142. CarlB:

    Yes, I remember that and others from when I played it… again, I don’t see anything that couldn’t be done on 360 with the same team and dedication, let alone how graphically superior to both versions it would be on PC.

  143. phranctoast:

    Can’t argue with the PC logic or the hard work and dedication shown by Naughty Dog.

    I do believe at some point they said (NG) the game wouldn’t have been possible in it’s current form on the 360. I don’t recall if it was a space (blu ray) issue or something else.

  144. Happyhockum:

    dont bother, Happy is also a game developer and he knows which games can and which can not be done on the 360.

    Even thought I’m lost in conversation I know for a fact that Naughty Dog is not creditable either about what can and cannot be done on a 360. They are First Party Developers hired by the biggest Liars in the industry (Sony) so they loose all credit. I would Believe Happy over Naughty Dog. :-)

  161. Happyhockum:

    Your gay sex obsession is simply tiresome.

  162. Liquid:

  164. Happyhockum:

    Liquid

    You’re a w@nker.
    A pathetic joke.

    You’re the one who has been talking about gay sex acts.
    You’ve been talking that way so long you just don’t see it anymore.

    Yeah sweetie, you’re so impressively and utterly hetro.
    No doubt there at all.
    It’s poerfectly normal to come on talking about molesting, fingering, AIDS.

    LMAO

  165. Liquid:

  166. Happyhockum:

  168. Happyhockum:

    You wish.

    Sweetie.

  169. Liquid:

    man what a bumboy, persistant aint ya?

    do you fart cum?

  170. CarlB:

    I’m sure it’s in ND’s best interest to say there is “NO WAY” UC2 could be done on 360 in ANY WAY… lol. What a load.

  171. Spideydog:

    CAD said: “hired by the biggest Liars in the industry (Sony) so they loose all credit.”

    Pleeeeease …… You cannot be trying to insinuate that MS is a knight in shining armour !!! MS lies and construes what info they release, just as bad as Sony or even more. We all know how long MS fought the public that “RROD did not exist”, until they finally relented.

    @CarlB, most probably true m8, but I think that 360 needs to bring out a game that does match graphics to UC2. I’m sorry Halo3 does not match UC2 in graphics, as much as I do love Halo3.

  172. CarlB:

    Well said spidey, though Genesis, 3DO, Neo Geo, Saturn, Dreamcast and others have had a similar slight advantage in their graphics in the past with little to no result in overall sales. I could be wrong, but I believe if the difference is not huge, as in say, Dragon Age console to PC version huge, and at a similar price, then I see little becoming of it.

  173. CarlB:

    …also in the handheld arena with Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket, and PSP as well… graphical advantages don’t seem to make that huge of a difference historically when it comes to console/platform success, but rather third party development and the amount of well reviewed games out for that console, whether they launched a year earlier or not.

  174. Spideydog:

    @CarlB
    Too true ;)

  175. Roca.:

    HH just want to get some cyber male ass

  176. twilight:

    Happyhockum,
    It appears the question I posed has been answered many times over…
    I can see where you are coming from. You are stating that you have more discriminating tastes and you don’t take things at face value. You don’t like commercialized hollywood crap and I can see why. I only like a few of these titles. I am very selective about the blu rays and games that I buy. You have this in common with Xbox and PS3 gamers on both sides.
    As far as UC2 goes, if you don’t think it is the best looking game, then that is fine. I personally still think that the graphics are superior to any Xbox 360 game that I have seen at this time. Like I stated earlier, I can only go by what I’ve seen. I have yet to see a Xbox game that looks better graphically yet. Howvever, this doesn’t mean that there are not any good games on the Xbox 360.

  177. Liquid:

    avatar is the best film ever! went to see it last nite, its not a big action packed movie as HH says, its a story about love and betrayal, the only fighting is the end. but i suppose the movie is wrong and HH is right? lmao

  178. Happyhockum:

    Roca

    Boy are you desperate. Too bad I had more interesting festive things to do this w/e.

    twilight

    Thank you.

    Liquid

    Go bore the wife or is it girlfriend
    (cos apparantly, in Ireland, wives are often referred to as ‘the girlfriend’, according to you…..you sad lying tw@t).

  179. Liquid:

    do you even fuckin live in ireland you fuckin whores abortion!? how da fuck would you know oh wise HH? oh and give maddie back to the mcanns ya sick fuck!

  180. Happyhockum:

    So feeble.

  181. oldschool1987:

    Who’s dissing the Irish and why? I’m half Irish!

  182. Liquid:

    HH seems to think im someones second account and doesnt believe i live in wexford

  183. oldschool1987:

    I’v been accused of 2nd accounts as well lol. People who say that must have 2nd accounts tho and blame some one else to hide the fact they do lol.

  184. CarlB:

    Yes, UC2 is pretty. Unfortunately it’s only one game, and KZ2 was a half blip on the radar screen this year. However, this doesn’t mean that there are not any other good games on the Playstation 3.

  185. CarlB:

    ^@twilight^

  186. Roca.:

    “I have yet to see a Xbox game that looks better graphically yet”

    we are on the same boat. maybe the 720 will be able to match U2 or KZ2 graphics

    “and KZ2 was a half blip on the radar screen this year”

    got better reviews than ODST, Halo Wars, Dragon age, Borderlands, L4D2, Ninja Blade, Shadow Complex and all other 360 games you have played this year.

  187. Liquid:

    oldschool

    yeah its really borin, i basically described where i live, but then again its HH and he seems to be a simple chap, i mean tard

  188. CarlB:

    “’I have yet to see a Xbox game that looks better graphically yet’…we are on the same boat.”

    You own a 360 now roca? Awesome! What’s your gamertag?

    “got better reviews”

    Yes it did get better reviews than MLB 09: The Show, Wipeout HD Fury, Demon’s Souls, Critter Crunch, Flower and those other PS3 games you have played this year, but not better than Forza 3 or Uncharted 2. I haven’t played ODST, Halo Wars, L4D2, or Ninja Blade because I am not that interested in them, as is the case with KZ2. I’m not greatly interested in shooters in general, but I may give some of them a try at sometime. Borderlands and Shadow Complex were great though, have you played them yet?

  189. oldschool1987:

    Borderlands is brilliant

  190. Happyhockum:

    CarlB

    Sure didn’t you know?

    Roca/Ivan claims to have everything….and if he doesn’t he has a ‘friend’ who has whatever he doesn’t so he knows about everything.

  191. CarlB:

    OS1987… agreed… funny that being how it’s “graphics” aren’t all that… I guess there actually is more to games.

    HH, Roca/Ivan are just pseudonyms for Neo/Trinity. Someday they will save the world!

  192. oldschool1987:

    Dragon Age, Halo ODST and Demon Souls have shit graphics but are amazing games lol.

  193. Roca.:

    wow..be careful there, ODST is graphically on par with Uncharted 2 according to Happy.

    @ CarlB I dont need to own a 360 to see the shitty graphics from the Halo Reach Trailer, L4D2 gamplay videos, ODST shitty graphics is noticable even on the box art.

    Gears of War 1 and 2 are by far the 2 best looking 360 games. nothing have come close ever since

  194. oldschool1987:

    I thought Fable 2 looked amazing. ODST IS NOT on par with U2 and it’s ignorant even saying so. He must be playing U2 on SD lol.

  195. CarlB:

    “@ CarlB I dont need to own a 360 to see the shitty graphics from the Halo Reach Trailer, L4D2 gamplay videos, ODST shitty graphics is noticable even on the box art.”

    In “the end you only play games for trophies/achivements. how sad” :(

  196. CarlB:

    …like I said I have and will continue to enjoy games for decades that don’t have achievements whether they be old or new (right now they are on PSP, PS1/2, Wii, DS, and older games on PC)…

    but…
    In “the end you only play games for” graphics. “how sad” :(
