I'm sure that it's Cell doing it in GT5 and it's their own bespoke solution. PS3 doesn't use DirectX.

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.
See if you can beef up the suspension. Should help with the steering. Open Diffs + leaf springs were not really designed to go around corners at pace.
I think that there's a limit - 50 did I read? And you can only use them in arcade mode or online, you can't take them into GT Life.
I'm not overly sourced on console development (just pc work, hence directx reference). But its all relatively new still, Crysis 2 is the first fps to roll with Shader Deformation, which looks alright ingame, but not overly useful in terms of gameplay features. I can see the benefit of using it however for a racing game to provide realistic damage to the car itself and the environment.
We'll have to wait for GT6
Anyhoo, time for the apprentice!

Did you know that the reason why the XBox is called an XBox is because of the X in DirectX? Sony won't touch it with a bargepole - mainly because they would have to pay a licence fee.
I'm shit at the stopping challenge licences.
It needs practice. It's why it's so good. fecking infuriating at times, but so good.
0.055 off silver.
Edit: Got silver, you're right Weaste they are infuriating!

Yeah, but you'll jizz your pants with relief once you hit it. Then the gold.
It actually handled fine the second time around, seems to be much better at corners than C30, trouble is that once you started spinning it's over.
I only got the first license so far, mostly silver. I'll get another one tomorrow probably, I prefer racing at the minute. Now off to Autumn Ring with my beloved Corvette.
As an addition to your frustrations, wait until Suzuka on the S licence, you'll be pulling your hair out.
Such a brilliant track when you nail it, but such a pain in the hole at all other times. It rains now to make it even more fun!
Is there any way to check my mileage in it? I cannot seem to find it and I'd like to know.
I like this game!
In GT Life mode on the left where it says profile
I'm in a process of selling all six standard cars that I've got recently for winning the races, I don't think I'm going to use them for now and I can probably get a new car for that!
I think I made a mistake blowing 300k on my R8 plus tunings, it only sells for 50k now, the resell is shockingly bad.
That's part of the game. It's RPGish. I never however sell any of my cars, I grind. You need to have a silly number of cars for a certain trophy in any case.
The Veyron...
how does one obtain it?

I got Z4 for around 70k now, black saphirre metallic, so I have a total of three cars and a go kart in my garage! Yeah!
It's a standard car - used car dealership.
A Standard car? that's disappointing
It's not a GT4 car, it was made for GTPSP, so it looks decent, just doesn't have a cockpit as of yet.
Fair enough. I'm really enjoying this game but the gt4 cars and the ridiculous load times are rubbish in all honesty. Really sours it.
True, I can grind out wins in the high speed ring at the super car festival professional series... 17,300 a pop.
I'm coming to the opinion that maybe they should have left the standard cars out, or at least had a check box on first starting the game to ask if you want them or not.
As for the load times, have you fully installed it? Even if you have, it's still installing more as you go believe it or not.

So, it gets better as you go on - think of it like levelling up. I'm quite sure they did it on purpose - the more you play, the faster it loads.
Yes, but you can also be intelligent unlike me, and buy and sell to make more money and still have all of the cars. That's a very RPGish thing to do, I just grind it, because I like it.
They should have at least left the bad looking standard cars out, they spoil experience a bit when you're racing next to them.
Got 34,000 in prizes for karting, amazing.
Up to level 8 too, I should probably go to sleep now!Old mass manufactured cars in real life look shit! I remember when someone that owned a Ford Capri was cool. They look like shit!
I don't like how Z4 handles, it seems heavy, so although it has a lot of power it's not really that nice to drive. I'll be looking to buy an Audi or a Mercedes tomorrow, a sedan preferably - I don't know if there's a premium RS4 and I turned it off already so I cannot check but presumably there is.
Can't.....stop....doing......licences....
Neither could I if the fecking missus would go to bed. Watching some daft shite. feck it, I'm going to bed!
You'd think they wouldn't let you give your level 1 B-Spec drive an R8 and send him out into level 1 races with it... easy winnings... there should be limits on what you can enter.
Don't get a Veyron for god's sake! Great in a straight line, but 2 tons does go around a corner very well.
. Shit, great, shit, great, shit, great, shit, great.There are limits, but also there is enough of a buffer either side to make you make a daft decision or not. Isn't that the whole point? It's not got you by a leash, and allows a little freedom, yet does confine you at the same time. An R8 isn't all that to be fair.
It is when he's racing against Peugeot 207s. I know there's an element of 'well don't do it' about it, but still. It's hardly realism. Then again probably picking at the slightest of things. The point being, the B-Spec side will be disappointing for me because if you buy him a decent car he'll just piss all over the opposition, I would have expected at least for his level to also reflect the type of car he can drive and affect his ability to drive it well.
Again I think that it is a work in progress. Maybe they should not have put B-Spec in? But I also suppose that they get feedback about what they did right and what they did wrong and can fix it, either for this or the next one. I've not gone anywhere near it. Does this GT Anywhere work where you can manage the B-Spec on your PC?
I don't see the point in B-Spec tbh, I personally won't be touching it and would have been happier if the resources put into that where put into something more worthwhile to the main game.
