Gran Tourismo HD

[Largest of Als]

Gran Turismo HD was/is a prototype used at E3 to showcase the technical capabilities of PlayStation 3 - like, the GT HD "special playable demo", as Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi termed it during the videogames jamboree, running in 1920 x 1080p at 60 frames per second.

Yamauchi also said such giddy things as, "Comparatively, the visual quality in Gran Turismo HD is 12 times higher than Gran Turismo 4 on PlayStation 2, allowing for a world of true high definition, not possible in any other visual format today."

So, we're not speculating too wildly about the 'real' next-gen Gran Turismo based on what we've seen of GT HD, but it may not be too long before Sony lifts its skirt to give us the full monty. Yamauchi said that GT next-gen may follow PS3's launch in November sooner than we think - hopefully the big announcement's coming shortly, then.

A bit sick of GT that screen shot doesnt look any better than the PISH PGR3 on the xbox.

Some of those Rally stage visuals look amazing, but then you look at some of the tracks an it looks like they are still using low res, repeated, flat textures for the grass and gravel, and it also looks like 2D trees and bushes



Hopefully this is just an early development pic, but somehow i doubt it.

With any luck, if you're wildly trying to control a car going 180mph, you won't let those details spoil things.

I think that graphics are now sufficiently good that, rather than shelling out for this game, I'm just gonna watch motorsport on telly and "control" the cars with a master system controller. It'll look pretty similar and save me a bunch of cash.

Plus, recent GT games play like a dog.
