GT5 - racing to the finish - Image 1 


Finally, some concrete details about the long overdue Gran Turismo 5. I know, I know, am still wondering myself how come this game got stuck in Neverland for the past couple of years when it's supposed to be the PS3 game everyone just gotta have. But no time for dilly-dallying. Kazunori Yamauchi himself has now spoken, and he brings good news.

Thanks to an interview conducted by Audi, we now hold the info that there will be dynamic weather and night racing in GT 5. The interview is in German, but we were able to get a translated text of it. Here's what you'd definitely want to know about this "incredibly realistic" racing title:

Kazunori Yamauchi: We are working on including weather changes, a race which may affect index. And damage to racing cars we will son be able to simulate.


It also appears that there will be loads of online content to be given away once it is released. You know when it makes the most sense. We hope that's really anytime soon. Cos if it's been some two years already and it's still not making sense... then maybe it's just meant to be broken?

but i really want to ^_^. I'm just afraid to buy GT5 Prologue and have the real thing come out a couple of months later :\ , it sounds like it's going to shape up to be a spectacular game.

'the PS3 game everyone just gotta have'



If you like 'realistic racing simulators' maybe. I'll stick with the high speed smashy fun of Burnout Paradise.

I got the Prologue, it's good but the updates are appalling, takes ages to download, use the Sony one for goodness sake! Anyways, if there is a TDU2 announcement at E3 this year, then GT5 better hurry up or they're gonna have some heavy competition.

» welll....

GT made PS1s and PS2s fly off the shelves. GT5 is gonna do the same, if not more(considerin g how well its demo did). Now's a better time than any to release this thing. Imagine how good itll do in Japan and Europe.

I'm in the same boat....I really want a good racing sim, the PS3 lacks these entirely. I've thought about getting prologue, but $30 is abit much for a glorified demo.



They should bring the price down to $15 now and tons more ppl would buy it......since the real deal is at least a year off if not more.
