from the Gt planet website :
Overall it’s worth it.. But it also has many flaws;
*
- The bad things about it ;
-Horrible textures through out the track
-The bumper view is extremly stiff
-The cockpit view camera is too high up
-Horrible and when I say this I mean it horrible track Indy
-Shadow AA problem
-The main menu is very laggy, and poorly designed
The good things about it;
-The physics engine is greatly improved
-Car feels much more responsive then Gt5p
-It was a small file

Great discoveries in the Demo:
1. if you drive wrong into the pit, you’ll be send back in the right direction.
2. Every name on the ranking can be used as a Ghostreplay ( downloadable )
3. You can now see, what controller is used on every driver on the ranking.
4. when you are in the start menu, and want to quit, when you press O you go straight to Exit!
5. More features for setting up you screen .
6. Great New Physic Engine :O) Wau great Work PD :)
Not so Great Discoveries:
1 SOme places the Textures are to Low quality, that can be done better ( lazy ness)
2.Trees are Billboard 3D technic, which is like 2 squares add together in a Cross ( 90’s like ?)
3. Extra texture on the Surface ( is Blurred, and to pixeled (staircases))

t’s better than GTR and Rfactor 2gether!!!
Over- and understeering is the most realistic i seen so far. Every little mouvement is reflected directly to the car. The little bump just before the finish line is soooo sweet.
Did 2 laps with each car and beeing 74th combined and didn’t even try. (It seems I am the only Luxemburger for the moment :D). The lack of clutch is sad but understandable.
tameen didn’t exagerated,… it’s simply huge. I hope that all the guys who were trashtalking the demo down(with the vids), are flushing red by now. Shame on u.
Now I feel really sorry for luke who has to wait till tomorrow. Now I just hope it will be playable till GT5 comes out. Now the hardest will be 4hours of work, knowing what awaits me at home!!
Ps: Lucas is first!! Good job. 3-4 guys in front of kaz.
THANK YOU KAZ 4 THE X-MAS PRESENT, u made my day, week,…

I’m not sure why it feels more exciting.. maybe because I’m pumped that GT5 has improved so much? Or maybe just the fidelity of GT5 compared to the GTR series.. it makes GTR seem low quality. The physics definitely is a HUGE improvement. I’m at my friends right now, so my wheel isn’t here, but I can just tell it’s so much more precise. Everything feels like it matters now.. if that makes sense. Like… before results were sluggish… idk, I’m gonna stop trying to explain it.

first thoughts
physics = awesome
sound = awesome
head movement = epic
N3 tyres = crazy fun
overall = very good, emproved alot from the prologue
