Polyphony Digital has announced the next game in the series, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, is to be released in October of this year to commemorate 10 years of the GT series.

Man I haven't seen a game come this close to a 3D rendered image with radiosity in real time till now!

The lighting, sun baking/burn etc all look spot on for a game!
Now with full interiors and drivers too

Anybody can take pictures of RL races and claim that its a game

Seriously though, those screens look amazing compared to Grand Turismo 1. Hard to believe its been almost a decade since I've played it.

GT5 Prologue vs real life

Anybody noticed the sound from the first trailer?

The Audi R8 sounds as if it really has the Audi 4.2 liter V8.
And the F430 sounds like a real flatplane high RPM V8.

I think its time to dust off that old DFP.

hehe

Check out the Spec-B Video at around the 1:18 mark...where the Viper goes a bit on the grass.......Notice how the Grass gets affected by the Audi R8's Aerodynamics.... now Thats an awesome effect!!...

Hooray for pre-rendered movies.

People will get used to the graphics and by the time it comes out they'll be like "WTF? Teh graphics aren't what they were in teh prologue!11!"

 

[SgtH3nry3]

Hooray for pre-rendered movies.

Actually, on the E3 they showed a trailer to the public in which the HUD said it was a replay, and they fast forwarded it aswell, definately not pre-rendered.

*yawns*

Looks nice.

Just like the Killzone 2 demo no one was allowed to play at E3.

Believe they let Gamespot play KZ 2 (or at least one site got to play it), and Prolog comes out soon so go cry your non believing river elsewhere.

 

[SheepDip]

It's not non believing, merely annoyance at the fact that Sony seems insistant on using pretty graphics (which I'm sure the PS3 is awesome at) for hype hype hype hype hype.

A perspective gained from years of disappointing PC releases that look good, suffer big delays because someone's too big for their boots and end up being disappointing.

Any cool damage to the caers, or is it just like every Grand Turismo game?

 

[Murphy]

Damaging liscenced cars might be a problem. I don't know if its in or not, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[PermenentMarker]

These graphics are freaking amazing !!!!!!!

I think GT is a pretty safe game when it comes to success.

You can't kill it gameplay wise as long as you keep the same old style...

Same game, same gameplay, more cars, more tracks and graphics that alsmost look real...

Can't go wrong with that.


I just restarted playing GT3
... Got the Porsch RGT, fully upgraded... 1023hp... Cant lose even if I drag on every wall
Great series of racing games.

Any cool damage to the caers, or is it just like every Grand Turismo game?

Doubtful. But GT has never really been about that. Its about precise driving!

 

[BlitzForce]

hooray replay transport controls!

16 cars....
dynamic weather and day/night cycles? that would be cool

damage for Racing cars and F1 cars I hear

anyway I notice in some scenes it's got some chromatic aberration/blooming going on

 

[Yoshiro]

Believe they have stated they want to do a full damage model for cars including internal parts, however they have run into the wall of companies not wanting them to hurt their cars in the past, they don't know if they can break down that wall yet for GT 5 full yet. Not sure if prolog will have it, but as I understand it prolog will be upgradeable and be used as a prototype for things they are trying to do in the full 5 release.
