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.
good call. I have to say as my first proper GT and as someone that knows very little about cars, it's probably the best racing game i've played in a long time and I reckon it helps. I was reading the forums earlier and so many people were moaning because they know too much. It's going to be awesome online down the line. I take it you got it now? How far you got in it?
I just took my R8 to the first race of the Amateur A-spec and have an 8 second lead after the first lap.
Well you would on Amateur wouldn't you?
Nah you can download it without supervision.
First chance I've had to go on since I've stopped doing the specials!
Do the A Specs actually mean anything? Or are they just there to make money? I seem to be able to repeat them with no point.
I'm doing my licence tests first.
Well, that makes sense. However, it seems odd that EA can convince BMW, Alfa, Chevy, McClaren, Lamborghini, Buggatti, Zonda, Audi, Porsche, etc, etc.
I don't know what that means.
As in pre-baked.
You mean that the damage will appear exactly the same on each car model regardless of the crash?
That's ideal because I'm a contact lense wearer.
It depends on how many animations they came up with, but yes, that's what they are, animations.
I have learned something tonight, Weaste.
Look what Forza 3 does - it simply changes textures.
Yes, it looks dramatic, but then a lot of game effects is smoke and mirrors.
Installation takes the piss!
I can clearly see what is happening in that gif, but I would never have picked up on that kind of thing in a million years. I was under the impression that car damage = car damage, in these games.
Live and learn.
Live and learn.
No, it builds the tension. Mine said 2 seconds remaining for a good 15 minutes.
I can see it now. 'Guys...er my contact lens has fallen out..that's why i'm last...guys.....i'm blindedeeeee'
Ofcourse if i ever lose, i'll say my steering wheel fell off the stand. I think that will work hehe. Get it in early, that's the selling pont Don't install it then, and wait longer for each race you get into. Over time, it will waste more of your time.
And for a MGS4 lover, your comment takes the piss.
In GT5 the Premium models of cars can deform in a dynamic way, such that it changes the 3D mesh. Also there is mechanical damage in that crashing has consequences. I posted a video a few pages back where the car after damage couldn't go higher than 3rd gear. As I said though, it's not perfect, but it is a start.

It's been installing for 50 minutes now and for the last 20 it's been saying 13 minutes remaining, and the bar hasn't moved. MGS4 never took this long.
don't think so though i can't try as ps3's off right now. Is it all installed?
That's normal, it will be done soon. Did the same with me. It jumps in bits the bar.
Did that for me, don't worry
I'm falling in love with this game, a few exciting races on a wheel and it's so much different. Hopefully I will buy a sports car in the next hour.
Just got it
Collectors edition is pretty mint. The Apex book is bloody heavy. Good reading. Tells you all about driving, styles, setups etc. Fantastic.

Oh MGS4 did take that long, it took longer, it just did it in chunks.
The time estimation bar is borked, make a sandwich, have a wank, watch an episode of 24, you weirdo!
And so you should. See all of that getting all upset over nothing? Enjoy it for what it is, because it's fecking fantastic.
What online fun we are all going to have with this.
Haha, I just tried to do the NASCAR circuit with the supercars, was doing well but every time we left the curved track onto a straight a Veyron just went flying past me until I caught it on the corner and then back to the straight it flew past me again. Fast feckers.
Well thats the A license all golded, I'll start the International ones tomorrow
I guess it's because I bought it with wrong things on my mind - I thought perfect graphics, photo-like experience and that's not what it should be about. Driving a car in this is so much fun that even though I'm extremely tired and have to wake up in 7 hours, I will probably manage another hour or two. Off to a dealership with 60,000 in the bank now.
Did you play Prologue?
If not, wait until you can take a F1 2007 Ferrari around Daytona. Marchi helped me tune it the other day.
Good stuff. Once you tame it, it's really good and I hope everyone goes that route because everyone should enjoy it that bit more
I didn't play that actually, this is my first GT since about GT3.
A Monza Red Corvette '69 has been parked in my garage. I'm going to have so much fun with it.

I bronzed most of mine. Obviously I was aiming for Bronze like. No need to be a show off

Well yeah I'm taking my time with them rather than rushing through them, only really had a couple of tests that tested my patience so far.The problem with Prologue was that you couldn't use the bloody thing in any of the events, as it was always too powerful and didn't allow you to tune the engine, so it was just arcade mode, where you were up against another 15 of the feckers all going around the track like the clappers. I can get it around Daytona in around 39 seconds.
I'm rushing through them I gotta admit but more because I suck and am way off gold most times while thinking - maybe i'll suck less at the next one
I do love the licences though.Deforming meshes based on its shader material is still a pretty new development in the games industry. Its always been predefined deformation in the past, but thanks to DX11, we're finally seeing more realistic damage.
Theres a pretty neat tech video in Cryengine 3 showing how deformation can work. A glimpse into the future

It handles like shit and cannot be really used outside of three races at the minute, so it won't pay for itself, but who cares, I'm getting golds in all World Classic Car series and then I'll try to buy a proper car when I'm at proper level.
Is there any point buying GT for PSP? Because I'm gone for a weekend and I could probably get some decent cars in there, though they will be standard cars and I'm trying to stay clear - won't stay entirely clear because I definitely want to drive A5 and Veyron.
