Yellow LP560-4 at the beginning too.

Not sure if the video has sound, not working for me.

They're kinda screwing themselves.

All the people that didn't know whether to get an Xbox or PS3 are now going with the Xbox so they don't have to wait another 6-9 months for GT5.

Knowing PD's history:

It'll come out after winter solstice.
It'll come out 6 months after Japan's release.
They'll amaze the world by doing something totally different that makes no sense.

 

GT5 is going to be incredible and that game alone will save the ps3 system.. I have a whole racing seat set up designed for it

 

I have high doubts that it will "save" the system. All of the current gen "on the fencers" that want a racing game (FM3 or GT5) will go with the 360 thanks to release dates.

New website.

 

Meh i gave up waiting. I played prologue and really wasnt impressed at all.

The cars lost that lightness they had.

"All Cars Get Damage"

Picture: Bruised up F458 & Video. Nothing DRASTIC.

 

To be honest, Im sick of waiting, Thats all you hear are different release dates over 3 years. so much for a christmas release..I have got need for speed shift which is fantastic, all Im waiting for is the new F1 Game. you can shove GT5 up your exhaust pipes..

 

Great, that will come in handy when I'm driving the 1886 Daimler if it makes a return from GT4.

 

Those are some nice looking scrapes! Great job PD...

 

Looks like a 330 P4 is being added to the game.

^ That would be fun!

Quotes from the interview:

Hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahhhahahahahahaahahah, bull ****

They lost a huge percentage of their players/followers because of moving the dates. If they did what Forza 3 did with releasing more content, and hyping up the crowd, they would have an audience. Now it's like, "Oh right, we are dealing with a perfectionist, this game will never be out on the day they say it will be". They kept their audience in the dark, and Forza 3 just reeled them in.

 

Exactly my feelings.

 

Polyphony did not mention a release date until the TGS.

It's amazing how irate people have become over this game (see GTplanet). They complain about push backs and perfectionism, but the alternative is release the game tomorrow with less features and more bugs. The same people complaining about how long it is taking, will then complain that PD should have taken more time to get things right.

PD gifted us GT:HD for free and with it, introduced Ferrari. That demo held my attention for quite some time. Then came GT5 Prologue which brought us several new cars, updated physics, and for the first time in the series, online racing. My PS3 died a couple weeks ago while playing Prologue, otherwise I would be in a F2007 rounding Suzuka right now against up to 15 other human racers.

The game will come eventually, and when it does it will be the best simulator available for consoles. I would say I can't wait, but I can wait because PD has proven they know how to produce a quality product.

 

I read that Gran Turismo for the PSP (800 cars, 35 tracks) went on sale yesterday, and that cars unlocked on the PSP version will be transferable to the PS3 version when it comes out. (In 2012? ...just kidding!)

Gt psp has: 25 miatas, 38 skylines, 2 Ferraris and 2 lamborghinis


Lol.

 

Man...looking at the gameplay footage GT5 is definitely a step ahead of Forza 3 in terms of graphic realism. Fortunately, I have both systems so I can have the quick fix of Forza ahead of GT5. It's like PGR4 with realistic driving physics.

 

Wow, only 38 Skylines? I expected at least 50!

I'm tempted to get a PSP just for GT now... like I did with the PS2...

 

Be careful with Gran Turismo for the PSP. Before you decide to purchase, keep in mind it's intended to be played in short bursts. And not long sessions like on the consoles.

Meanwhile, here's an image from a replay featuring the 458.

The 2 things I like about this shot is the depth of field blur from the camera lens and the accurate reflection of the sky on the car.

 

What's this all about? Screen burn?

 

Thats the one I plan on getting
