I think some of the big news here is SPILT SCREEN MULTIPLAYER (online and offline I believe).

[ktr]

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Sweet new list for NA.

the f40 and the mines r34 are gonna rock.

[WarEagleAU]

Holy crap, $40.00 bucks for that on the ps3??? I am definitely getting it then. Are you sure the price is right?

[Para_Franck]

Pretty sweet graphics for a console!!!

[ktr]

yea, the price is right.

[Nicksterr]

wtb ccx in this game.

[Rambotnic]

Now THAT is a game really worth looking forward to, every GT has been very great, always improved physics, graphics...

The game will include six tracks including...

I don't get it :confused: is it just my misinterpretation or does this game have only have 6 tracks?

[ktr]

What not to get?

[Rambotnic]

6 tracks, it's not much, and a bit confusing. :D

[ktr]

Well this ain't the full fledged GT5...you can consider prologue as GT5:Lite edition.

[ktr]

from the PS.Blog...

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/03/06/more-details-emerge-for-gran-turismo-5-prologue/

Summary of differences between Japanese version and the American version:

* A whopping 30+ additional vehicles (compared to the Japanese version), including tuner cars from Amuse, Mine’s, etc.
* Another track to race on: an all-time favorite in the series - frantic and chaotic High Speed Ring!
* In Drift Mode, measure your drifting technique based on driving line, angle and speed within scoring zones on the course
* With the Quick Tune feature, adjust your vehicle’s settings including power, weight, tires and suspension
* All new set of online and offline race events and time trials to jump into, win, and unlock cars/features
* With Logitech’s new Driving Force GT racing wheel, you can adjust brake bias, traction and damper settings on-the-fly like they do in real-life with Formula One and rally cars. GT5 Prologue will support DualShock 3, too!

Hmmm, more like GT5 extended demo! *warning!* sarcasm detected...
Some other thoughts:
1. Quite a few cars, but no Porsche or Lamborghini!
2. It's called a "sim", but there is no damage!
3. There's not much content in there, still it costs 40$!

I wouldn't worry about the lack of content, I can see Sony starting to pour out car and track packs for 5$. I hope there's going to be damage in the final game, for the sake of calling it a simulator!

On the bright side: the graphics are AMAZING! The cars look like nothing I've seen in any driving game released so far! Take it from me, I'm a 3d artist that is doing vehicles for next gen games ;).

[Rambotnic]

No damage is like a trademark for this game so i really hope there wont be any damage, the tire damage is enough to make you pitting in so thats just about all the damage you need. This game has succeeded in making me and every one of my friends, who have ever played this game, to keep the car on the road perfectly and follow the standard course without the fear of wrecking the car, now isn't that something?

[-1nf1n1ty-]

.....OMG that looks so good, and knowing how good all the other GT's played this is gonna be even better, I gotta reserve this a long with MGS4 and Haze and Killzone,etc. god I dont even have money.......I think ill sell my pc

[Dangle]

Those 1080P screens look slick! I may just have to rent this game!!

[ktr]

PD devs are really anal when it comes to detail and quality, so they will implement damage only when it can be modeled/simulated correctly.

[ktr]

wtb ccx in this game.

Make that the CCX-R! :rockout:

So the "no damage" thing falls in the "it's a feature, not a bug category"?
:))

[Easy Rhino]

im defin looking forward to this one. ive had it preordered for over a month. time just moves so slowly when waiting for these types of things. polyphony always puts the most into their games and this one will defin squeeze lots of juice from the PS3.

Same here, I preordered it last month. Will be a must have!

[WarEagleAU]

well that aint bad, I guess I was thinking it was GT5 :roll: anywho, 5 buck add ons arent so bad if they can make it like $50 and its the same as Gt5 :)

[lemonadesoda]

"Tracks" are ok, but with those graphics, i actually want to DRIVE ROUND THE CITY a bit more. You know, check out the streets. See the street names. Get to know your way round a bit. That would be nice. A bit like GTA style. "OK, you won the race, now find your way to ABC bar or XYZ bar and get yourself a drink... and collect your points" :-)

PS. On second thoughts, no, I dont want to be stuck in virtual traffic, or look for a parking place. LOL :roll:

[Conti027]

No Porsche!!!

[ktr]

There is no more paid DLC for the game, that idea drop some time ago. The only paid content is videos from GT:TV...

No Porsche!!!

Remember this is not the full car list that GT5 is gonna have. Also the previous titles had RUF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruf_Automobile)...

[Easy Rhino]

do we know which cars from the full list will be included in prologue?

[Ravenas]

All plus more I believe.

[tkpenalty]

WHOA. These are some of the most gorgeous visual's i've seen lol. Screw DX10!

[xvi]

Oh man.. I LOVE the Gran Turismo series. I've been playing it since my dad picked up the first Gran Turismo for me. These graphics are absolutely beautiful.

As for the "No Damage" debate, as far as I see it, you don't have real pedals, a real wheel, and a car seat bumping you around, so I don't think it's fair to have damage. When your controls are limited to how accurate your thumb is, I don't think damage is something we should have to worry about.

Think GT5 will be a console seller?

[rhythmeister]

The only reason I bought a PS1 was for GT1...then we were graced with the mighty GT2. I bought the PS2 for GT3 then we were blessed with GT4. I think I may need to get a PS3 for the next series of Gran Turismo games :respect:

[rhythmeister]

...what's with the complete lack of ANYTHING Toyota in this prologue? :shadedshu tut tut at Fony!

[hacker111]

This is definatly a game to look at and wait for.

[ktr]

:confused:

Its the list in the first post of this thread.

You do have Lexus, which of course is toyota of Japan...

[Ravenas]

I think he thought that list was the cars in GT5.

Lexus is one of my favorite car makers!

The list for GT5 (according to some interviews) is gonna be 500+ (around the same as GT4).

[newbielives]

I'm going to buy a G25 wheel for this

ah, that's the info i was looking for. thanks.

[Fhgwghads]

You get to drive the Top Gear track, my god

[Widjaja]

You get to drive the Top Gear track, my god

Now I want to get a PS3.
Played the demo on a 52" plasma in hi-def.
The demo had no AA a little HDR and no motion blur which the Prologue screenshots show.
But the online leader board made the demo addictive.
Would never have expected drifting in the game.

just curious how you know there is no AA used , a little HDR and no motion blur.

[ktr]

There is 2x AA @ 1080p, and 4x AA @ 720p...

This game does have a bit of HDR, look at the shadows and the car reflections.

There is a slight motion blur if you pan the camera left or right...the environment does blur, like in real life.

Drifting is added to the game to show off the new physics. Just like the gravity gun in HL2.

that is what i heard. perhaps he meant the demo has no AA so the game should look even better.

Lol
Yeah thats what I meant.
At 1080p on a 52" plasma the jaggies in the demo are obvious with a little bit of HDR and no motion blur well from what I could see.
I looked at it and thought it this it?!
Until my brother showed me some screenshots of prologue which deos have motion blur and the edges of the cars are actually smooth.
