Man that looks bloody awesome!

 

[Left_Hander]

That looks really good. Too bad I am shocking at racing games...

I take it you need to be in Japan to take advantage of this offer then.

I have been playing Gran Turismo HD Concept 2.0 recently. It is an addictive game, but I don't like the camera angle. It gets me in the mood for Gran Turismo 5 though!

Looks like well PS3 users will be able to dive around the Top Gear track! As its an inclusion in the game!

Aye. Phil posted that in the Top Gear thread in General Chat.

I thought I'd post this in here!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7059887.stm

So thats 40 episodes and the track!

Hardly an offer just a free demo download. Also, no you dont have to be in Japan, you just create another master account on your PS3, sign up for a 2nd psn account but make so it says that you are in Japan, you will need a japanese address for this, easy to find just find one on Google Maps or something. It?s quite confusing though as you have to remember how to create an account/guess/know japanese. I will be doing it when i get home tommorow, after i?ve had a session of PES though of course.

ROFLMFAO!!!

I heard theres no damage in GT5 LOL, this can't be true lolzomgzpwnt!

 

[Dr. Pepper]

it is true . i'm a dissapointed GT5 owner, great driving experience especially with driving wheel! but the events are to little, already completed it and almost got F1 car. online is awful though, i was clearly in first place then someone lagged to 1st and they crashed into me and i got penalised! WTF?!

 

[Punk_Sk8r]

Lmfao, so next-gen overhyped game tbh, is the full game actually out or are you on about Prolouge?

 

[PhilD123]

Na I think he's on about Prologue, the full games not out till the autumn at the earliest.

This video showcases "Grid", the new racing sim being released later this year, compared with GT5. Quite amusing really, kicks its ass.

 

[Sureshot]

PD are perfectionists, a realistic damage model is very hard to get right, and to most GT racers it isn't important.

GT5 will be a huge seller, only outdone by GTA4 for this year.
