LINK compatibility allows up to six players to race simultaneously. Key Features: High-quality visuals blur the line between game and reality. Rally racing returns with a refined physics model challenging off-road driving skills. Does this affect the gameplay or detract from the overall experience of the game? Not at all but it just seems strange that they did not get all of these little things ironed out.
The multiplayer is your standard split screen racing. I am not a big fan of split screen racing personal preference but for what it was, the split screen does a decent job.
I never ran into any slow down and only a minimal loss in graphics quality. The game also supports the iLink so you can hook up eight PS2's and battle your buddies full screen. I was unable to test this feature but I did try it out at E3 and it was a blast. If you have Ilink, I suggest you try it out. Drop in whatever adjective you can think up right here. This game looks freakin' amazing. In reading this review, up until now, you may have not found reason enough to go buy this game over GT2.
Right here is the reason. The biggest downside to the original two games was the graphics. GT3 finally matches the graphics with the gameplay. I could go on and on about all of the incredible things you will see in this game but you still need to see it to believe it.
Everything from the car models to the incredible sun effects, the graphics scream beauty. If you really had to pick something to complain about, there is one track that has a bit of pop up and there are times where the cars have slight jaggies but these instances are few and far between.
This game rocks, so do yourself a favor and go buy it now. Don't listen to anyone telling you otherwise. We finally have a Gran Turismo game with beautiful graphics to match the incredible gameplay. Sure they cut some things back but based on what we got, I have no problem with that. One word of caution though; this game will suck away hours of your life.
When you hear boasts of over hours of gameplay, I suggest you take them seriously. The fact that we're still comparing every new racing game to Gran Turismo 3 --which came out two and a half years ago--is a little scary. But you got any better ideas? A course editor which allows the player to create new circuits by using tools that randomly generate track - parts according to certain specifications players selected , including the amount of corners, the time of day and the number of sectors.
Car Racing Games Gran Turismo 5 was published and developed by Sony Computer Entertainment marks the first entry of the series with online races with support for up to 16 players and is the first game in the franchise to provide a damage model , with variations of damage depending on whether the vehicle is a ' Standard ' or ' Premium ' car.
But you haven't seen the heat haze that hangs above the track. You haven't seen the focus effects in action. During replays, the camera keeps your car in sharp focus, while objects and autos in the distance blur slightly. And you haven't witnessed the newly included weather effects, which add reflective puddles and blowing mist--not to mention an element of slippery-when-wet danger--to the game. Despite all these effects, and despite the game's vertical resolution being twice that of any PS2 title so far, GT3 runs at a flawlessly smooth framerate.
He's back at the Mazda booth playing his game at a PS2 kiosk. We give him room so he can show off for the Japanese camera crew. We're aching to challenge him to a race, but the two-player mode hasn't been implemented in the version he's playing.
Yamauchi's screwing around with different cars, experimenting with their handling, burning out, slamming on the brakes, laying circles of charred rubber on the track. He's having fun, oblivious to the spectacle of the auto show and the rattling trains above that are so loud we have to reask questions after they pass. Grinning, he launches his car head-on into a crush of oncoming racers.
It's obvious that Yamauchi's favorite element of GT3 isn't the actual racing gameplay or lush visuals--it's the religious attention to detail paid to each vehicle's road handling. In fact, Yamauchi says that although it's possible for future iterations of the GT series to feature better graphics, he doubts they'll surpass the realism of GT3's physics model.
Drive defensively, although don't worry about scratching your paint job--as in GT 1 and 2, the car models here won't take damage if you bash them around. Too many of the car manufacturers wouldn't allow it.
When it came to capturing every nuance of every car in GT3, Yamauchi and his team did the same thing that worked so well for the first two games: They headed to the race track. Last summer, at Tokyo's Motegi circuit, the team gathered more than vehicles from international auto manufacturers.
They photographed the cars and recorded their revving engines and gear transitions. Yamauchi explains, "but we had to rerecord and re-photograph those cars because the PlayStation 2 hardware specs are so high that the data we had for GT1 and 2 was insufficient. We had to take higher-quality engine sounds and more accurate pictures in order to match up with the PS2 hardware specs. All told, GT3 will pack more than cars.
