GT5 Update

GT5 will be available for free download on Sony's Playstation online service later this year. Score! I'll probably finally break down and pick up a PS3 this holiday season.

On the latest interview with the series creator, there was mention of 2 different play modes. I forget what they're called, but one will be your traditional Gran Turismo mode that's more along the lines of what GT4 offered in terms of physics and handling. Then there's the Professional mode which will focus even more on real world/car physics. Probably more for the very hardcore car/GT crowd. Perhaps more along what GT:HD plays like?

GT:HD seemed to have less back end grip and it was easier to keep oversteer in check with throttle/steering inputs. In GT4 it always felt like there was a certain point, that if you passed, you couldn't get the car back.

 

alrighty then... we don't have any age limits, but I understand your decision as the choice is yours.

Drive safe!

actually, I disagree:
- DIRT: the Xbox360 is better because you can get real rumble and force feedback, best experienced with the XBox 360 wireless wheel
- GT5 Prologue: this is just a downloadable demo, the real game won't be out till 2008
- Ferrari Challenge: This actually looks good, but won't be out in the US till 2008. (Nov 2007 release for Europe)

So, if you really want a PS3 for Xmas, you may as well get it now.
- DIRT is already out on both PS3 and Xbox
- GT5 demo is already out, so it should tide you over till the Prologue and the full version comes out

I actually got the F1 2006 game over the weekend, and I started playing the career mode. I got hired by STR (not STR-Ferrari, mind you... but STR-Cosworth, because it's 2006!)

Everything feels outdated since everything changed in 2007!

I highly doubt that F1 2007 will even be released.. what if you drive with the McLaren cars... will your manufacturer points be denied at the end of the season???

Hamilton set for the video game world
=============================

--------------------------------------------------
Lewis Hamilton has signed a (US) $10m exclusive licensing deal to feature in his own videogame in the near future.

After a debut Formula One season in which he regularly spoke about learning circuits and attempting to develop his relationship with Fernando Alonso with the help of a PlayStation, the 2007 championship runner-up and rookie's deal is reportedly with American developer Electronic Arts and its EA Sports brand.

The British newspaper The Sun speculates that releases of the first Hamilton game will be on the 'Xbox and PlayStation' consoles.

F1's exclusive video gaming rights, however, currently belong to Sony Computer Entertainment, leading to speculation about what form the upcoming Hamilton game will take. It is also suggested that the F1 rights could move from Sony to EA.

British newspapers also reveal that the 22-year-old will give his first major television interview next week on veteran host Michael Parkinson's show."
