Looks really good... wainting the DLC .

duh.. we've to overreact about it so we can make the track look like shit.

Best looking track  along with Nurburgring on GT5 confirmed.

lol at the nature soooo ps2

Spa is one of my favourite tracks, nice for GT5 to have it now.
About 2D backgrounds, I don't care much about them, those in GPL are really ugly, but they can't ruin a classic. And anyway, when RAM is limited, there's little devs can do, if they use more RAM for modeling better physics, car behaviour and appearance, tracks and weather, and to be able to have more cars in a race, they must save it elsewhere, particularly in the longest tracks, like Spa, Monza and Nurburgring. Obviously I expect newer PC racing sims, with minimum HW requirements far higher than GPL, to have far better backgrounds. But on current gen consoles compromises cannot be avoided, little main RAM limited their true potential and even old style programming tricks can't go beyond a certain limit, when the problem is not the instruction and function parts of the code, but the detail of object descriptions and the number of them to be loaded in RAM simultaneously.

I beg your pardon?

neh.. nothing against you.. but the thread suddenly became about trees, grass, bushes.. like any of them really actually care about that when they are playing games.. which started to annoy me..

i care about it. like i said if i wouldnt care then they could let the trees  out of the game, just give me the asphalt and good.

if they put this in a game than it has to be up to date whats wrong with this? this is a ps3 with no clue how many processors so yes it has to have 3d tree models.

it doesn't change the gameplay or sound but it changes the graphics.

if people really would look at this? sure they do otherwise nobody would talk about it. but i understand and i will give them the advise for gt6 to take everything out of the game which is in the backround because we don't need it.

for example in forza 4 i love the rocks at the start of one course because they are so nice 3d. if they would be 2d i would think "what the shit is this" and wouldn't like the graphics of it anymore. that's the first you see when the race starts and it looks just wonderful. but in forza 4 i saw some 2d audience and wow that looks too shabby. i even made a photo and called it "best graphics of all time" to joke about it.

Well, to be completely honest and take it out of the way, I was slightly disappointed with GT5 graphics as I was expecting too much out of them. But that was back when I got the game, not now. I can peacefully live with Sony going Nintendo and focusing on gameplay over graphics this time. And shit, home consoles do have their limitations too!

The game is awesome an awesome game to play and sometimes it can be really really beautiful.

But I was not talking about that. I was just saying that the track on the dlc seems a joyous to race, very appealing, and therefore I'm considering on getting it, even when I never purchase dlc.
