I used to play a lot of rfactor earlier when my pc used to struggle running GTR2.Its a very good sim , tons of mods and very good ones too.One of my favorites was F1 1979 mod. :blush:

 

But I left it once my pc could run GTR2 properly , rfactor didn't had hands in cockpit view , it was very annoying. :P

Sony Shows off 3D Gran Turismo 5 to the Public...in Tokyo

The 3d dot cafe features 3D Gran Turismo, Motorstorm 2, Wipeout HD, and Killzone 2.

Sony wants their new line of 3D Bravia televisions to make a splash in the market, and they're using 3D augmented PlayStation 3 games to make it happen. The electronics giant displayed their new TV line and several PlayStation 3 games this week in Tokyo's Roppongi neighborhood.

 

In addition to concerts and events featuring 3D footage being filmed live, Sony turned a local coffee shop into the "3D dot cafe," where they provided playable Gran Turismo 5 demo stations and displayed game and film trailers alongside sports footage. We had the chance to check out the cafe during it's from from May 21 to 25.

 

Gran Turismo 5 didn't look markedly better or worse in 3D when compared to its showing at TGS last year. However, it suffered from the "pop-up book look" that many 3D images do--the game looked as if it was composed of several 2D images layered on top of each other. Movies that are filmed in 2D and brought to 3D via CGI tend to suffer from the same problem (think Clash of the Titans or Alice in Wonderland.)

 

Though 3D images can be hard to watch for a long period of time, GT5 was relatively easy to look at. This is thanks in large part to the game not using any strong depth of field effects. Often times the 3D image in a game or movie is broken when the viewer tries to examine an object that the camera is not focused on. The brain tries to process the object, but the eyes can't bring it into focus, creating an odd effect that causes headaches or nausea in some. All objects in GT5, regardless of location, are rendered without any post-processing blur, so no matter where we looked on the screen, we could focus easily.

 

The GT5 demo stations in the cafe used a Recaro racing seat. The seat provided a wheel, foot petals, and vibrated to simulate crashes and the surface of the road. Fancy racing seats aside, the game didn't play any differently then the TGS demo.

 

In addition to the GT5 demo, Sony displayed 3 different 3D trailers at the cafe, Wipeout HD, Motorstorm 2, and Killzone 2. The Wipeout and Motorstorm videos both featured gameplay footage, whereas the Killzone video featured an in-engine cinematic. The games looked impressive, though it wasn't immediately apparent whether the new 3D versions of these games will play any better than their old 2D counterparts.

New GT5 footage hits net

Some new footage for Gran Turismo 5 has arrived via YouTube showing off screen footage of the AMG Mercedes SLS.

This no doubt comes from the recent Nürburgring event, although we are pretty sure we haven’t seen this before.

 

Hopefully we will finally learn of a release date for Gran Turismo next month, which if rumours are to be believed was delayed to enable the developers to include 3D and PlayStation Move technology into the game.

 

E3 is in a few weeks time, so we don’t have too long to wait.

12 days to Go. :P
