Well without tuning you are pretty much going to have to run the same cars to make online racing fair. I guess you can do EVO vs. STI, but meh.

Any word on the US release of this BTW? IDK if I want to import. I imported GT1 and tourist trophy and GT concept but I like to be able to read what I am doing. I guess if there is no tuning though its going to be pretty strait forward.

Umm early February!

Ffs, where are all the impressions? I'm starting to get worried that nothing has been said at all about this game (not that I'm doubting the game itself, just wanna see if it's actually being released in two days with a good feature set).

Like in real life, there are classes of race cars. So you want to tune some Corolla to be faster than a Lambo? Here's your ticket to retardedfest.

Thank god they don't.

Are you thanking the no US release of GT5P? Kaz had said there's no market for Prologue in the States.

wow that is it. Might have to pick up the g25 this weekend.

They are going to be making an official GT5 wheel, although it's not giong to come out until the real GT5. Kaz has said there's some things he'd change about the G25 so the official wheel will likely have those modifications.

are people really arguing that tuning is undesirable now? :lol

It's not necessary to enjoy this game. If it comes with GT5 or in a prologue update I would use it though.

Nice to have feature, just like damage for some people.

Used to ? Is that some ellaborate stealth trolling or what? Every GT game has tuning, and GT5 is no different from the rest. Prologue is a different matter alltogether. It most probably doesn't have a GT mode, just arcade and license tests, which will work just like in any pther GT since GT2.

WTF are you talking about? I thought it was pretty clear I wanted to be able to tune the cars to make them more even for online racing :lol There isn't even any corrolas or lambos in the game...

:lol
I swear you are the unofficial hype man for this new wheel coming out. You've must of mentioned it a dozen times, telling people not to get the g25 and to wait. Not that it's a bad thing, just an observation of mine. :p

:lol the whole essence of Gran Turismo is you buy a car, tune it, test it, retune, retest. Continue until you have achieved perfection. Then own the computers. Now with GT5 we're able to own others. :D

I'm probably going to try to hold off for the english prologue, otherwise either snap and buy the japenese one, or manage to wait for the actual game.

Steering wheel wise, I've already said it before the G25 and GT25 (GT5 branded G25) will be identical and probably only have a logo. That being said I think I've seen the G25 located in certain Toronto spots for around $250 CAD. Which until I get a hold of the actual game is too pricey. As I can stick with my Logitech GT4 wheel for the time being.

Also every screenshot/video I see I want this game more and more.

Final comment, that comercial is awesome, every relative I show don't believe it's a game because it looks this good. We've all played it and this is one game that looks like the videos. Not to mention no other fanboys can hate it, :D there is only love for this game (heart)

JIZZTASTICS: Full (Upscaled) 1080p resolution — 60fps in game/30fps replay

RELEASE DATE:

Japan: 13th December 2007
Asia: 21st December 2007

I added the note encase the tin foil hats got their knickers in a twist.

“OMG, HALO 3 runs at 640p!!!!!!!11111111eleventy–billion”.

Although the GT5P demo might’ve been able to output a pseudo 1080p signal, it still suffered from tearing and an inconsistence frame rate. I guess 1080p is no more than a PR bullet point, and a really important one for such a showcase title.

Just like GT4 with B-spec and photomode, you can’t please everyone…

PD has a team of at least 90 people, it’s not like they all stopped working just to implement this.

Oh and GT Mobile was just a ruse to get everyone to buy a PSP, it doesn’t officially exist outside of box art mockups.

Meh.

That stuff is far more important to what GT is all about than GTMobile is or would be. It's all about making the car enthusiast happy.

They need more revenue, if the car manufacturer thing can provide that then more power to them, it's relevant to the game anyway.

GT5 Prologue is simply a much higher priority than GT PSP.

The 2 additional tracks in Prologue are Eiger and London.

It also appears that they added the tint to the windshields that some were asking for.
 
Looking at the official site it looks like the game won't ship with online play but they'll have it ready in downloadable form on the 25th along with a bunch of other stuff.
