Why it\'s the Gran Trismo 3 A-Spec "Reception!"
Japanese publicaton, Game Watch, was on hand today in Japan at Sony\'s GT3: A-Spec celebration at the game, which goes on Sale in 11 days over seas. On display was, of course, GT3 in final form using the GT-Force Steering wheel with force feedback. Also shown was the use of Sony\'s ilink which allowed up to 6 players to compete against each other (of course they also needed 6 PS2s). The crowd was, without question, in awe after seeing the single and multiplayer gamers ran at a solid 60FPS throughout the showns, not to mention the Jaw dropping action replays. Sony also had their band along, performing throughout the show. YES!!! The Japan GT3 game is in the FINAL FORM!! Whos has a import PS2!! :D

wtf is that a pic from the game? the sixth one down with the girl hanging out of the car? i never seen that before. wow i wish i could have been there, but thye could have had a better playing screen, not all blocky like that
-
looking nice! I have an import ps2...but I\'ll have to wait til the game comes to singapore before I\'ll get it..maybe a week after its japanese debut
-
What I want to know is, what are they discussing here with the Mpeg 4 and Mpeg 2 formats

that guys head is in the way so i can\'t read all of it. It says
MPEG2 600 kbps?
MPEG4 250 kbps?
whats the difference anyway
-
MPEG2 is what DVDs use and MPEG4 is what DiVX uses.

Great, so how does it relate to GT3 and the PS2
-
Maybe the CG is going to be MPEG4 so as to not take up as much space on the DVD. They might have been showing the difference in quality between MPEG2 and MPEG4, which it really isn\'t that big of a difference.

Is the PS2 capable of mpeg4
if so is mpeg4 a much better format for data compresion.
By looking at the numbers it seems they are showing the file size in 2 different formats which may explain how GT3 looks so good and has so much texture detailed in comparison
I\'m reaching here till we get a firm translation of what is being said
-
I seriously doubt those numbers are referring to texture compression. I`m pretty sure that slide is referring to the movies in the game menu, comparing the bit rates across different formats.
MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 are both digital video standards, not texture formats. While it is possible to have a video as a texture, a single frame texture would be compressed by one of the JPEG compression schemes, not MPEG. MPEG is compressed both frame by frame and also by comparing multiple frames to each other.

Where can I get that chair :D
Purrrdy! Too bad we Europeans still have a long wait ahead of us... well, not that long, but, quite.
-
Gimme that Game... gimme... GIMME... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH...
Sorry :D
-
well i am sure that pic with the chick in the rally car is not a game picture - there is no way in hell - that is too relisitic even for a CG rendering
but i like the chairs also - can\'t say much about the 6 blocky tv screens though
ahh GT3 is getting so close now so close
-
The demo was pretty impressive.
Can\'t wait to get my hands on the final product.

That chick in the rally car could be from the intro? Why else would they show it?

The MPEG format comes into play somehow. There has been talk about it in interviews, but Until we get a translation on this its a curiosity of mine that needs an answer
