Those graphics are good, but the game just won't be fun to play. You want a fun racing game, play Motorstorm.

This from a guy who knows nothign of Grand Turismo, sorry had to say it.. Grad Turismo 1 & 2 is all I know of the series/played and it still beats most racing games in gameplay! (atleast ones that Ive played, eg. NFS-MW).

upon further looking it seems like we still have a long wait :(

"According to Yamauchi, Sony is giving them as much time as they need to perfect Gran Turismo 5. Due to this, the developer shared that the soonest the title would be released is Spring 2008"

I was a huge fan of GT2 for PS1, haven't played any of the other installments of the game.
The game really does look amazing though.

I just played the demo, and it is fantastic. The AI is really good this time around.

LMAO, I still see textures from GT2 in those first screenshots. Graphics don't look too much more then what GT4 offered aside from more definition and increased car model details.

Trust me, I've played and finished every Gran Turismo ever released, so you can't say "You don't know shit about Gran Turismo". But I'm just not too excited about this one. If I can't beat up and T-bone a hot pink Civic hatchback with a flat black Hemi `Cuda then count me out.

Where do you see GT2 textures. I am currently playing the demo, and I dont see crappy textures.

And regarding the civic vs. cuda, it's all about power to weight ratio and gear ratios.

I think so. GT5 would probably be the SINGLE reason for me to get a PS3. After all, I have a decent PC, why would I want a PS3?

But I'd like GT5 to have a game-feature like NFS:Hot Pursuit. Plus a greater variety of circuits; not just racetracks, e-g- some mountainous twisty roads, and/or motorway stretches with correct/incorrect turnoffs, and/or city country or racetracks with alternate routes, with police AI etc. Makes a lot more fun to have, say, 1 or 2 real players, and 1 or 2 AI players.

Most of the terrain and the track walls look like very defined and reworked GT2 textures, but I guess that happens in a few games.

:wtf: Huh? Sorry man, didn't think that taking advantage of the real-time damage that is finally here (took them not enough) was to do with gearing. I thought more like playing LAN with my mate, lining up a hot pink EK Civic hatchback with a tree/pole/end of guard rail and t-boning it at about 250km/h in a `Cuda, ie.. fun.

Honestly I've not liked Gran Tursimo since the first or second releases. I don't much care for the graphics, especially in a simulator. I still much prefer the physics and handling in the original GT then what I had to deal with in GT4.

Honestly I think that they should have incorporated something like that into GT5... racing on a track is a lot of fun but racing on a mountainous road (i.e. canyon racing) would be awesome. The police idea wouldn't really fit into the theme though since the GT series is about accurately portraying real cars on real roads and not being chased through streets by cops (i.e. the NFS series).

OK, so how about DRIVING the cop car, chasing speedsters through oncoming traffic. Hollywood style. LOL

I hope you are playing the demo, for in those pics, the textures do look a bit 2D, but in game it is all 3D! The grass stands up, the walls have budges and bevel-ments, looks great!

So you prefer a less realistic simulation is what you are saying?
