Developed exclusively for PS3 by Polyphony Digital, Gran Turismo 5 brings the world's most realistic and comprehensive driving experience to fans in one of the most highly anticipated games of all time. Gran Turismo 5 features more than 1000 licensed cars from the world’s top manufacturers and more than 20 tracks with more than 70 variations, including famous world circuits, city courses, and other environments.

Featuring exciting gameplay and modes to suit newcomers, automotive enthusiasts, and seasoned fans, Gran Turismo 5 raises the bar on the franchise's depth of content and unparalleled visuals difficult to distinguish from a live race. Further reflecting this realism, cars will feature real-time visual damage with adaptive and accurate car deformation based on point of impact and velocity. Additionally for the first time, Gran Turismo 5 will feature an extremely deep online and community feature set. Players can progress and acquire credits through a variety of modes like GT Career Mode, Championship Races, License Tests and more, or they can explore different tracks and circuit variations in Arcade Mode. Additionally, players can race online with up to 16 players through PlayStation Network.

Notable information

- A first for the franchise, vehicles will now show real-time damage and wear that reflect the driver’s treatment of the car. Cars will collect dirt (and can be washed at car washes) and will feature adaptive and accurate body deformation and performance damage based on point of impact and velocity (on select vehicles).

- Additional graphic touchups that add to the realism include smoke from tires, sparks that fly from vehicle rollovers, and dirt accumulation.

- Brand new vehicle physics engine that replaces the engine from Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, making the action more realistic than ever.

- PlayStation Eye camera features that add a new level of detail to the game, including face tracking for looking around the interior of vehicles while in the interior dash view.

- More than 1000 licensed cars, including those representing racing organizations from around the globe such as NASCAR, World Rally Championship, Super GT and more.

- More than 20 tracks with more than 70 variations featuring famous world circuits and real-world city locales.

- Arcade mode lets players take in the stunning tracks and environments of Gran Turismo 5 alone or with a friend in split-screen two-player mode.

- The fan-favorite career mode returns with a full world map, licensed car dealerships, tuning and body shops, and car washes. Start your car collection, customize them to your liking, and live the life of a pro racer.

- Compete in franchise mainstays like point-based Championship Race series and hone your skills with License Tests.

- Gran Turismo TV Video gives players access to an online clearinghouse of great motorsport video programming (both HD and SD -- all broadcast quality) through PlyStation Network. Users can export this content to the GT PSP Museum (GT PSP required).

- Photo Mode and Photo Album allows users to capture their greatest GT moments, and share with friends. Players can stage and capture stylish shots from a number of angles and locations.

- Photo Album can be shared online, and the Online Replay Album lets players capture replay video from their favorite races and upload them to YouTube for the world to see.
Players can create custom soundtracks from music stored on their PS3s to play in-game.

post the best deals for wheel/pedal combos

Haven't seen any. There's the Logitech wheel from GT5 Prologue but it's a ripoff, as are all wheel/pedal combos.

not trolling. tell me something gt5 has that forza doesnt. it literally took them like 5 years to get the game out and it was delayed countless times.

[Bababooey100]

I've always thought Forza had better physics and GT had better graphics. Forza also has a lot better selection of cars. GT has mostly "halo" cars and they're all with in 5 years old. Every car I own is in Forza3...it's nice to be able to drive your own car in a game. I'd honestly have to rent GT first just to make sure it's something I'd spend money on. The last one they seemed to cater to the drifting crowd.....every car had massive oversteer.

Nice video showing off some of the UI.

Pending I get this job this week, I'm ordering a wheel set up.

http://www.amazon.ca/Playseat-Evolut...5626785&sr=8-1

Havent decided if I'll get the gear shifter adapter as well.

I figure once I get this I'll be set. I'll get a wheel I can use on both PS3/360 so I can play it with Forza as well.

Rally racing. 950+ cars. Go Karts. Top Gear track. Weather. dynamic time.

Forza has a cool decal system though.

[Zvengeance]

planning on getting the gt5 wheel for this game. also for the f1 2010 game that came out last week.

for the idiot that said forza > gt5 is an idiot. forza is a poor man's gt5.

Strong purchase.

I'd love to get one of those but I don't know if I'd like it. I've never really used the wheels so I'd be kicking myself for spending that and then preferring a controller after.

thats a ballin set up, what wheel are you going to buy?
I just bought a logitech g27 and pre-ordered the collector's edition of GT5

I wasn't sure either. But my friend got a wheel and seat for $50 on craigslist and it's ****ing awesome. I could play for hours on end and not be bored.

I figure once I get this, I'll cut down on buying games to basically none. It's a big purchase at once, but overall I'll buy MAYBE 2 games every couple of months rather than grab something every odd week.

Not sure to be honest....I want something with both 360 and PS3 ability. I don't know if I want paddle shifters on my wheel or if I want a normal gear box.


Does anyone know if GT 5 will have a clutch like Forza did?

Well the only things I'll be playing online til Gears 3 comes out is NHL and GT5. I don't really buy many games.

Maybe AC: Brotherhood if the multiplayer is any good.

I just looked at the proposed car list released by Sony....

Mind = Obliterated
























































10,000 cars


Ferrari's and Lambos also make their gran turismo debut

Post a link.

That many cars would be pointless since most people will probably use less than 50.

I doubt it's real. 1,000 cars is lots. More than enough.

I googled for it just to see if ferrari was indeed in the game, not hard to do it.

I was browsing the list, looks like a lot of special editions and such. So basically a lot of same models, just slightly different.
