Half-Life 2: Episode 3.
I swear to gawd that Valve had better be planning on doing this some time this century...

You're thinking too small.. why have HL2:EP3 when you can have HALF-LIFE 3.

Personally I wish that Chromehounds would get a sequel, it was a really amazing game by SEGA that really deserves a second chance in the spotlight, especially with crappy games like Armored Core getting multiple sequels.

Another Halo Wars would be pretty cool to have too.


Also, everyone wanting another Sonic Chronicles, I wish that there could be another one too, but since EA now owns Bioware I'm not sure we will be seeing it. :c
EA just wants a ton of Mass Effects to rape and make bank off of, which is why it completely screwed Microsoft by going multiplatform with the series much like how it is going to have Doom 4 rushed out of iD Software, who they sadly also bought in their industry shopping spree.

• It's Gran Turismo. Everything you love about Gran Turismo is here, no compromises to make the game more accessible.
  
• The varity of events is outstanding, not just the normal races, but also the licence events and special events.
  
• Attention of detail on the premium cars is nothing short of amazing (photo mode, zoomed in on car, saw the numbers on the dials were modelled not just textures)
  
• The physics update has improved the game to an untold degree, cars do feel unique be it a heavy NASCAR or the lightweight karts or anything in between. Racing on dirt/snow has been refined now and, as I predicted, racing on a dirt track in GT5 does feel better than WRC 2010.
  
• Leveling, combined with licences, means you've always a next logical step with your car or a car than can be acquired cheaply (I predict this will continue as prize money increases as you move up the ladder).
  
• Lighting effects are outstanding, especially on the night/wet tracks.
  
• Once again, drift mode on Eiger Nordwand has me hooked.
  
• There is damage but its locked in the first few levels to help you learn how to drive without worrying about having to pay to repair your car.
  

• 
  
• The Standard models aren't bad, but because of how good the premiums are, it's slightly noticable. The lack of cockpit view is somewhat disappointing.
  
• B-Spec mode, while I only spent a little time with it, doesn't strike me as particularly interesting.
  
• The leveling system leads to inconsistant damage/AI between events.
  
• The shadows are pretty bad in places, odd given the lighting.

I think the game looks amazing, although I never was into the Gran Turismo series. Maybe I'll give this one a shot.
Neo Metallix Yesterday, 3:20 PM Holy crap, this game has the best graphics ever.... These are all pictures taken in photo mode. On a side note, it's sad how I'm like the only one on this site interested in this game. We don't have many car/racing fans here it seems but everywhere else it's got a lot of discussion about it.

Basically I don't have PS3. So I'm out of words what else to add about this title. Sure it looks unbelievable, but I can't really come to the conclusion there's any competition now, seeing as GT5 is released over a year after Forza's latest project.

• First, rally is awesome. Period. Will make deeper explorations of the physics tomorrow, but from what I've experienced today, physics in all aspects of the game is nothing but phenomenal. It is difficult to explain, but with every new corner and movement of the car you get the idea you've learned something new. Some tiny bit, some small idea about something, but important and meaningful. During process of golding N-A it was 1997 ll over again, with some familiar licenses in different setting, all up to One Lap Magic finale.
  
• My physics impression comes from driving stock RX-7 (N2), stock M3 (S1) and racing Castrol Supra (R1) on dry surfaces. GT5 physics is the most advanced physics any any GT game to date, more complex than Prologue, demanding as Academy TT physics, but much more subtile and profound. Tire-snap is now logical, you can feel the surface, suspension and weight on tires and you can perfectly determine what is going on with the tire-grip. I'm impressed with modeling of suspensions - feel of the road is phenomenal and in every moment you know what your car is doing through the force feedback effect delivered on the wheel.
  
• I took a moment to pay attention, but - you just don't see the difference during the race. On my set - and I'm using an 50" plasma - all Standard cars look like a Prologue cars in-race. It is more-less visible in the replay, but overall I think PD did a very decent job in mixing the two breeds.
  
• One of the most common questions was one regarding the sounds. GT5 have drastically improved sounds over Prologue in every way. I started a Demo Drive for F430 and it sounds much better than in Prologue, as well as all cars I've driven. Notice that sound changes when driving in cockpit, as I mentioned yesterday best (loudest and clearest) sound is when driving from the roof-cam. However, it is logical to be as that, because the sound of the car from outside and from inside is not the same, as in real life. In the sound department I really love the way in which Doppler effect have been implemented during replays. It shines in surround setting and everybody who got any kind of surround system will enjoy probably the most realistic interpretation of audio-design in virtual racing from "spectator" point of view.

Dude. You've gone and taken a joke personally. There is officially nothing anyone can do for you here, unless you suddenly grow a sense of humor, slash get your head out of the bucket of bleach because it's been soaking in there long enough.
