some tracks look a little dull, but most of the time, the game look very good... best looking racing game so far imho.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but about the GFX looking poor to some. Just watching a replay of one of my races its looks like the game has Depth of Field & Atmospheric/Weather heat haze (at least on the Daytona track). Both making back grounds look pretty messed up.
Least this is what the replay looks like to me. To busy looking at the race when racing.

I'm pretty sure the DOF is replay only.

Prologue is pretty sensational at times.
Every time your vehicle transitions from a well shaded patch, like the tunnel at Eiger Norwand, to a well lit area, the corresponding blooming effect is outstanding, it never fails to impress. Also, it's surprising how much the cockpit view adds to the game, in one of the class C events, you have to pass 15 other cars in a one lap speed race, driving a Honda Integra. I kept coming in second place, so I switched to the dashboard view so that I could guage the wind resistance more easily and draft more effectively. Came in first place shortly after the adjustment, I thought it was cool that the cockpit view was something more than a showy gimmick.
As far as graphics problems, I notice most of the screen tear occurs on whilst cornering with 3 or 4 cars, in the A class races and most notably on the London course. I hadn't encountered any significant framedrops until the A class races, and even then, it only happened when I'm in the cockpit view, cornering with several other vehicles.
I'm not seeing any significant aliasing in game, (the showcase vehicles have horrendous aliasing issues) whether I'm playing at 720p or 1080p.
It's very impressive how good this game looks running at 60, but aside from the much needed update potentially coming in the fall, I do wish Polyphony had put more detail in the tracks;I get less of a sensation of speed doing a cockpit view at 185 mph in my Ferrari than I do going 140 mph in a "certain other game."
I'd be interested to know whether or not Polyphony are using the some of the same brute force rendering methods they did with GT4, i.e. baking the lighting onto the car textures.I notice that at the sides of the cars, the reflections will occassionally "pop in" rather than slide in a more seamless manner, but I'm sort of skeptical PD would brute force it on the current hardware.
Could it be that the specular mapping updates at 30 fps,accounting for the occassional pop in effect?

My first impressions are very good. The cars look so damn good it is unreal. The tracks are hit or miss but when it is good wow. I did most of the C class races so far and I am liking it a lot. My only complaints are no damage and the DS3. I don't like the triggers on it I wish I could play the game on the 360 control pad. I just don't have the money for a nice wheel right now.

in the case of GT5P, i like the triggers of the DS3/Sixaxis. i really want to get a wheel sometime though. first, i want to buy a new LCD.

I feel the exact opposite. That 360 controller is a maddening lesson in twitchy hell, IMHO. I guess damage will come, but the BIG thing is being able to choose who you race with online. That need s to come pronto!
Seconded. Haven't been playing since. I want to be able to race against my buddies...
I've havent found much time to race online lately (just a few hours for the first time in a while this weekend to get gold on two events in C and B that I didn't manage gold on the first time I went through the game), but most of my long-time GT friends solve this problem by carefully timing when they enter a race, e.g. all enter at exactly 11:14, and then repeat that every twelve minutes (or however long a race lasts). This works fairly well and actually gets a good pace as well, no waiting around because someone just got a phonecall or whatever.
However, the thing that most of us over here want closed matches for is to keep some drivers out.
Though most of the time they don't bother us too much - few drivers are both pissheads and fast (though they do exist) and we mostly get past them.rendezvous

Nürburgring in Spec II?
I found it in the most unusual of places:
Sorry if its old, chaps
Though if such thing does/will exist.... *faint*

I stopped playing prologue because the tracks are boring IMO. I would trade them all for this one. I hope they'll ad more tracks soon. I like to see Trail mountain, Deep forest, Special stage R5 and Citt di Aira. More fantasy tracks should also allow them to show of the grafiks better.Edit: A 2.30 minutes time limit on this track.
