Looks good,
Whats the handling like? just some of the movement on the car looked a little twitchy?

Anything with freeroam has to be good

well i tried the pc beta for about 3 weeks, the physics were pretty poor at first but they sent out a few updates which made it better.. a guy i am subbed to on youtube says that the handling feels like gt5 now, so not the best but still got arcadey feel to it.. but thats alright, still should rock

7 days to go... who or anyone getting?

I'm interested, but have reservations about the handling. All through development I've heard it needs tweaking but never heard of any improvements, so am skeptical. If the handling is not great, all the rest is just great icing on a shitty cake.

im interested too but it better not be full of fucking rap music

CUSTOM SOUNDTRACKS FTW

LOL It's not a city based street racer, it's on Ibiza I think. So my money's on cheesey old (i.e. cheap to license) house music.

[Symonator]

this will be here tomorrow so i'll let you kno what my initial impression is.. looks good, but i feel the handling will be the same from the beta, a bit shit.

[DaZzy_94]

I'll get it during the easter break.

Well i have played this game all day.. since 2pm it's now 5:43am lmfao.

All i have done today is get a shower, eat my dinner and play this..

Cutting to the chase this game is very much like midnight club online, flashing lights for races, multiplayer instances and free roam.
The way the freeroam works is proximity, drop in drop out
mixedd with burnout paradise online.

tonnes of things to do, it's not a grind fest either for cash, you win races and get 3,000 for each one, then win a championship and get anything from 30,000 to 150,000, you can grind these for easy cash, but generally the races are cool and i like it so you don't need to grind, you can continue as you go.

The choice of cars are nice, range rovers for nice off road tracks and other 4x4 makes n models, you have sluggish every day cars and then super/exotics.

The handling is alright, well at least compared to the beta on the pc, but it is a bit twitchy..aracade like, but as you get better cars the handling is much more realistic.
Every car is very detailed and you can customise too.

The island is massive and there are 2 o them.
Online clubs for people too, looks good.

You can buy houses/garages and customise them aswell, you can also buy hats n shit for yourself (think home) but of course with in-game cash not real.

Car details though are great, even buttons to turn indicators on lol, sunroofs and convertable roofs all fold up and down.

gametime/gameplay wise i am impressed overall, i honestly didn't think it was this deep, and i am not a racing fan, but this is a great game...even better with some mates for a cruise.

Online gamemodes such as head to head, follow the leader, 32 man race etc etc.

lots to do, so little time..

p.s

some guy sent me a co-op challenge, i accepted and ended up in his subaru whilst he was rallying around the mountains, what was i doing? i was the guy giving him directions with the control pad.. how cool is that lol.

[Symonator]

some designs i did, not the exact copy just from the top of my head...

Then i decided to create this lol:

And of course had to buy this...BEAST!



not bad for in game stickers to create designs, and it was my first attempt lol.

Police range rover?

Thats it im sold im renting this :XD

[InfiniteStates]

LOL that Range Rover is fucking awesome.

I have to say though, the car renders look a bit...old school. Flat. I dunno - not as nice as I'm used to from Burnout, Need for Speed etc.

[YorkshirePud]

i'd agree GT5 got some abuse for the non premium cars but the premium cars in GT5 look nicer

HOWEVER it does still look lovely if a bit clinical

again, land rover traffic cop, FKin awesome

you know what you have to do now...

[Symonator]

Yeah graphically the game isn't great, neither is the game, but it is alot of fun, many bugs right now though.. however for example i hate gran turismo, but enjoy this...im not a massive racer fan anyway but i like the online/freeroam more.. just crusin and and stuff.
