Gran Turismo 5 on Asian Game Show 2009

- A trial on the latest built of Gran Turismo 5 in Asian Game Show (AGS) 2009.
Test session featuring 3 cars: Toyota FT-86, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and Ferrari 458 Italia
...and 1 track: Tokyo R246
Movie featuring Ferrari 458 Italia w/ no aids, sim physics difficulty, highest force on force feedback and uses Racing R3 tyres. Steering wheel is Logitech Driving Force GT.
Comments...

Pros: Greatly enhanced car physics from all Gran Turismo series. Force feedback comes more rational approach. Cars can opposite lock to perform drifting or to save over a spin. Tokyo R246 featured some objects that you could crash into, and cars can be damaged or at least you can trade some paints on non-damageable cars like the Ferrari (not shown in this movie).

Cons: Would be better if the next version of GT could add more AI cars to tense up the race...and yes... AI cars are indeed horrible in their reaction with player car. They would only go after the racing line without thinking where the player is. They just crash their way to their pre-defined racing line, not try to evade, slow down or bypass the player car. In this movie, the AI car crashed its way by performing a PIT maneuver to me, forcing me to the last position.
