Finally, Inside Sims Racing have posted Part 1 of their GT5 review, here are some highlights from it:
1 - Has an good overall performance with almost every wheel in the market, with some minor issues here and there. Fanatec wheels have the best performance, thanks to the customizable brake sensitivity.
2 - In contrast to other simulators, has fewer customization options (livery mostly), but the mechanic customization is solid and has an actual effect on the car performance, which is pretty noticeable in the engine customization, changing even the sound that the engine makes.
3 - Best physics and Force Feedback in any simulator currently available in consoles, coming close to the experience of iRacing and rFactor.
4 - They seemed completely captivated by the game, even admitting that they can't stop playing it.
5 - Has the best graphical presentation in any simulator, including PC simulators, even with all the inconsistencies like the poor alpha effects and jagged shadows.
Also, pay special attention starting at 49:38. This is why simulator reviews should be left to actual professionals, or at least someone who has basic knowledge about how a simulator should work/perform. I couldn't have said it better than both Jessica and Darin did.
and what I find funny is how they praise things most reviews bashed.
the menus for example, straight forward, no confusion everything at all, yet almost every other reviewer "but but teh menus are too complicated, bad menus blah blah blah"
even the crash sounds.
they could give this game a 6/10 and will agree whole heartedly
this will be 1 in the 1% of GT5 reviews that will be actually creditable in my opinion.
next part they said will be out sometime next year, wow
