CarbonCore Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 GT5 Prologue Demo Hitting PSN Next Week http://www.gtchannel.com/content.php?cid=8590 Big news from the world of Gran Turismo. With the Tokyo Motor Show only a week away, Sony is already prepping for a huge unveiling on October 24th. There are rumors around what Sony could possibly be revealing, but for now the more important news at hand is the fact that GT5 Prologue will be a downloadable demo as of October 20th. That's right, a free download. That explains why Gran Turismo HD was removed from the PlayStation store on September 30th. Chances are that this is the same demo shown at Tokyo Game Show (TGS). Most of you who didn't attent TGS will be able to see calendar and other functions in the new Prologue. If that's the case and the Prologue demo is the same one shown at the video game show last month, this upcoming download should feature Alfa Romeos, Nissans, Ferarris and other vehicles, a total of 16, as well as three tracks, Suzuka, Fuji and Daytona. The October 24th downloadable demo of Prologue should hold fans over long enough until the December 13th release of Gran Turismo Prologue. Pricing will be set at 4,980 Yen for the Blu-Ray disc and 4,500 as a straight download. If it's only four bucks, give us the disc; we don't want a download that costs as much as a full game.

MightySkate Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Demo Cars, Track and Online Service Details More breaking information from the world of PlayStation 3 and Polyphony Digital. It appears that Sony is trying to steal the show. And with this week's big GT-R blunder it might just be possible. Sony is doing a better job of keeping its info under wraps, but we have learned that Sony has bigger plans at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show Gran Turismo Prologue than just a regular unveiling. The big news is that Sony will have a big program and preview for Gran Turismo TV at Tokyo Motor Show. But you don't have to wait until then for some of what we can expect to see. As we mentioned earlier, Sony will offer a free demo available as a download through the PlayStation Store. Obviously the download will only be available on the PS3. But here's the kicker the free Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Demo will be available only from October 20th until November 11th. Approximately three weeks, just in time for the release of the full version of Prologue. So you best note waste anytime if you're a Gran Turismo completist. We also learned exactly what vehicles will be playable in the demo. We incorrectly reported earlier that the demo will feature 16 cars and three tracks. This report was based on information we received from the Tokyo Game Show build. For the Tokyo Motor Show and the download demo, a total of seven vehicles will be featured in the Prologue demo. These vehicles are the 2008 Lexus IS-F, 2009 Nissan GT-R, 2008 Mazda Atenza, 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STi, 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR, 2008 Daihatsu OFC-1 and 2009 BMW 135i coupe. It's a pretty awesome selection especially when you remember that this is just a free download, but we're not really certain why the hell the Daihatsu is in the mix or how it got in there. Maybe it snuck in when no one was looking. Seven cars, but only one course will be playable, Suzuka Circuit. See the shot above for the Suzuka map. A total of sixteen cars will be on-track simultaneously, but there's no online in the demo. Back to the Motorshow, Sony has some plans for Gran Turismo between the 23rd and 25th at which the company will unveil a new car, we're not really sure that it is. Sony will also be showing how the free news service works for motorsports and other automotive related goodies. Online News Service, Gran Turismo TV and News won't be available offline. More to come next week. We're getting on a plane tomorrow morning to head to the land of Gran Turismo. We can't wait.

CarbonCore Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 seven cars, one track, one week to go . Btw, if any of you don't have a Japanese PSN account, this is the best time to create one. This demo may not show up on US store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightySkate Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I was a bit disappointed with the previous demo. It was jaggy (a little) and crowd animation sucked At least the PGR series manage to pull off a nice crowd animation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnackChap Posted October 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 demo impressions the demo is complety in japanese so my points are based on the default setting(not the newly introduced pro physics mode,need to check a translation guide soon) i know this is a demo of a demo,but i still will be nitpicking a lot,but thats me demo is around 750mb the car models are stunning(best in the business by a huge country mile) runs at 60fps,has the odd drop,but most of you wont even notice it cockpit view is OMFG amazing,its a completely different game with that new view cockpit view has some shimmering issues with shadows(self shadowing is a problem on nearly all games btw) jaggies strike back,not as bad as forza 2 but they are there are are visible(hopefully will be cleaned up before next years release) the track suzuka is sh*t,its more fcking bland than the indian cricket jersey not all cars have cockpit views(nissan's 'masked' GTR doesnt have one yet) no damage yet crowds looks like sh*t,they have the same canned animation looping again and again when you hit the tyre barriers they dont move,hit the fences nothing happens. in the cockpit view the cars behind you in the sideview mirror look straight from ps2 era. the replays are unbelievably photo realistic,smaller details can be seen clearly,grass bending,flowing,heat blurs etc HDR is overdone,the game looks very dark at places(they need to fix it) sound is a mixed bag,engine sounds great,everything else not so much Ai is improved,they'll overtake you,block you,have their own duels etc Ai still travels in groups,but they are not all together this time,its more like 2-4 groups rubber band AI is not completely gone,but its largely improved bumper car physics are sadly present,again not as bad as the last version and the improved ai does a gr8 job here (need to chk pro physics soon) no time penalty for hitting other cars or running out no ferrari's suzuka is bland no online play in demo demo is in f**kin japanese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightySkate Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 GT5 Prologue not true 1080p - upscaled GT5 Prologue works in 1280x1080 and uses PS3 upscaling trick - by repeating some pixels in anamorphic picture to 1920x1080. So 50% upscale.(It's actually less than GT HD's 1440x1080) 1280x1080 and 2xAA 1280x720 and 4xAA Confirmed by the same guy from Halo 3 resolution discovery (Quaz51). http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread...=43330&page=24 "GT5 prologue demo is 1280x1080p (yamauchi know than in car game the vertical resolution is the most important for the visibility) but with MSAA 2x now ! it's a very good Compromise they also very improved the display of grills and electric wires and aliasing problems (compare electric wires in GT-HD and in this demo, it's big big gap), the texture filtering is very clean and the HDR ligthing is awesome! All this in 60fps with 16 photorealistics cars, it's impressive the show room and the pit/garage is full 1920x1080 no AA" Source : http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-76181.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
