In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
I need to buy a new PS3 first. End of the month.
Fook!
Night racing in the rain just looks insane!
You can see the brakes heat up at around 0:55 in that first one!
And I really want a go with that Jag that never quite was.

Wow, this is a steal.
Sony PlayStation 3 PS3 Slim Console Bundle with 320GB HDD + Gran Turismo 5: Collectors Edition PlayStation3 Game - Play.com (UK) - Free Delivery
285 quid.
The CE is 60 quid on its own.
Thanks for highlighting this, Weaste.
I bought an Xbox 360 a couple of years ago, after not really playing games for a few years (post PS2).
But now is the time. This is due out a couple of days before my birthday and it's the one game that stirs the "must play now" instinct in me.
To the Weaste-mobile!
My willy is hurting!
There is something wrong with the lighting on the chase cam however, but I'm sure that will be fixed. The in-car view is spectacular!

Can you drive to Preston in it?
Le Mans at night!
It looks a bit shit when it's outside view, namely where tires make contact with surface and splash water.
Also this bumping off cars and fences still annoys me somewhat, it's very unnatural. Plus the crappy 2d trees.
Other than that - it's godlike.

There's something wrong with the lighting in that view as it effects the car itself, but it's as always probably an old build, and is also strange, because the other cars when you are in alternative views look fine.
Not a sandbox game, the idea is to stay on the track, not feck off driving over a field.
I don't think that they are any more, at least not on the redone tracks, look at this, around 1:12 in
True but what I mean is it doesn't slow you down like it should, it doesn't feel like you're crashing into something. I don't want to break a fence and drive over a field of course. then again, you'll say it's not supposed to be a perfect sim.
Still looks 2d to me, but I don't seriously care about it. They'll probably polish the environment when ps4 is around. Imagine GT6...can't wait.
Ah, ok, but we don't even know if that build even includes damage modelling or not. I'm quite sure that in arcade mode, it will have none, and it will behave like GT has always behaved.
Well, you are viewing a 2D image, so that's obvious. The 2D trees, I'm sure that you've read plenty about them, were basically cardboard cut-out flat-plane sprites stuck together in a cross hatch, those in that video are certainly not.
I mean, you can clearly see them in this old build shot.
I'm sure that the trees that you can't get close to are still sprites, as it makes sense for performance issues, and nobody will notice in motion.
Weaste you were talking a page or so back about the online thingy-majic, I'll give you a game when I get this.
Not sure I like the idea of all assists of though! I'll have to sharpen my GT skills up a tad*!
*read alot.

Yeah, I need a new PS3, as, being a bit of a geek, I don't want to lose my Linux, but I shall have that bundle mentioned on release day.
We need to set up a CAF clan. Only 32 of us will be able to be in the lobby at any one time, but as this is CAF and not GAF, that should be plenty.

I can't wait for this
Count me in.
The outside view of the rain one does look odd but the Subaru WRX does also have rear mudflaps so I'm guessing that makes it look abit weird too. The night/rain looks stunning, the X1 looks like an F1 car meets an LMP1 and creates a monster.

I'm seriously tempted to buy a PS3 because of this game.
I'll probably get bored with it in a week, but I don't care.

You can always use it to play Blu-ray movies afterwards.
And play me at FIFA09.
im down with this!
It'll just replace my Xbox when that inevitably either dies, or becomes so loud the Council take it away.
Got my PS3 sorted, getting it next week. With my new shiny 46" screen I'm all set for this. Can't. fecking. Wait!
Release date?
November 2nd I believe.
Weaste I'm a total amateur to racing/racing games, and my budget for a ps3 racing wheel is £100. Is it worth getting into it? My current setup is good enough without requiring additional peripherals like a racing chair... clamp.. etc.
What should I get? Anyone ITK please chip in too. Thanks.

Get the Logitec DFGT, it's a good quality wheel.
Aye, that's the one I got myself, it's excellent value for money, obviously not as good as some of the more expensive ones, but it's plenty good enough to gain yourself some seconds over a controller, and most importantly much more enjoyment out of the game.
It's going for 79 quid at Argos ATM.

Indeed. I've never driven a G25, or similar, but the DFGT is very satisfying with a good racing game. Can't wait to enjoy GT5 with it.
Think I payed about £90 for mine around christmas time just gone, saw it on amazon a week later for £69
My PS3 will be turned on for the first time in months when this comes out.
Sold out, unfortunately.

A bit more from here, but it shows as in stock.
This is bloody misleading: Logitech GT5 Driving Force Wheel PS3 - PlayStation 3 - GAME.co.uk
It's called the the Driving Force Wheel, but states it's for the PS3. Also, the picture used is the Driving Force GT.

Do it.
Looking at a lot of this, and seeing people nit pick at silly little things, suggests that this game is moving this genre into the territory of uncanny valley. This is something/a theory that has been around in computer science for quite a long time, mainly with robotics and CG, and is where something approaches realism to an extent that it fools the human mind into thinking that it's real, yet little things then are always there telling you it's not, and this can cause nauseating experiences.
I'm definitely getting this, those videos of the day/night transition and the weather effects look fantastic, and I havent bought anything Gran Turismo related since GT3.
Same here but I'm REALLY excited about this.
