Not been a good one since GT2 ... 4 was pants, that AI was sooooo boring always following in a line, never crashing or taking a wide line, breaking late .... pffft, stupid.

What Gran Turismo 5 can learn from Forza 3

[Legion]

If I ever get a PS3 then this'll be on or near the top of my 'to buy' list. Sadly, doesn't seem like that'll be happening any time soon. Although I desperately want to play MGS4. >:C

Gran Turismo 5 'could be PS4 game'
Polyphony boss says title "goes beyond PS3"

There is hyperbole, and then there is confidence in the the most patiently-awaited game of the 21st Century.

Take your pick on which applies to Polyphony Digital boss Kaz Yamauchi, who told OPM in its splendid new issue:

"The level of precision we've achieved [in GT5] is actually more suited to the next generation of machines."

Wowsers. He didn't stop there, either. Referring to the 200 'premium' cars offered within the title, Yamauchi added:

"The detail that goes into a premium model [has] gone beyond the level of the current PlayStation."

Yep, you read that correctly. It's TOO MUCH FOR PS3.

To be fair, Yamauchi may have something of a point. OPM reports that 'GT5 accurately models mechanical and cosmetic damage to an absurd degree, and whilst the classic models will buckle and crumple, those newer models will near-disintegrate'.

If you're a racing fan, November 2 can't come soon enough.

Until then, check out OPM's spanking six-page GT5 preview in its latest issue, which hits stores this week.

Europe's GT5 Collector's Edition Is Ridiculously Expensive



Sony has revealed a Gran Turismo 5 collector's edition that is even more elaborate than the American one. It's a lot more expensive, too.

You get the following:

    * Metal sculpted box finished in SLS AMG Obsidian Black
    * Exclusive GT branded SLS AMG 1:43 model car
    * GT leather wallet containing Signature Edition competition entry card
    * Branded USB key with Polyphony/Mercedes-Benz trailer
    * GT branded metal key fob
    * Signature Edition coffee table book featuring the beautiful cars and locations of Gran Turismo 5
    * 200 page Apex drivers magazine with hints on driving technique, car tuning, future technologies and more

Along with that, you'll also get a number of exclusive in-game vehicles. Which is a lot! And it'll cost you, with the pack running to €180. That's not a typo. That's €180. Or £150. Or USD$240.

A "cheaper" collector's edition will sell for €80, and include the game, Apex magazine, art cards and in-game vehicles.

Gran Turismo 5: Every mode detailed
Two career modes, track editor, My Lounge, kart racing and more

Let's get excited. Polyphony has unleashed what looks like a complete run-down on everything to expect from its stunning-looking racer, Gran Turismo 5, come this November 3 when it's released.

First up are TWO single-player career modes; A-Spec, which lets you play as the driver and win races to move up the ranks, and B-Spec, which places you in the shoes of the Team Director, "and your job is to study the competition and properly play to your driver's strengths to come out on top."

The guide also shows off the garage, where any of your up to 1000+ cars that you gather will live, and offers a glimpse at the car editing and modification screens.

Then there's the Course Maker, which lets you design your own courses with a simple editing tool.

You can also sink your teeth into a go-kart mode (as one of these FIVE recent videos show), which Sony says is the perfect place for beginners to brush up on the theory of racing and improve their driving skills before moving on to the big toys.

There's a much more detailed breakdown of these modes, with screenshots, on the official site (link below).

It's okay to be jittering in your seat with excitement.
