[TheEn|gma]

No words other than 'teh sex' can sum this up.

[solofowaffles]

Wow that looks sweet.

[CoDe 199]

i would probably get a ps3 for that, and maybe mgs

[=98=]

Drift mode sounds really good.

[Hellsent 2.0]

Tehy have the top gear test track on it too!!! ...i just came.. looking at those piccies...twice.....I need a ps3...

[Chris_Redfield]

Are the old days of Gran Turismo over? Is this game fundamentally different? (No offline long GT mode like were used to?"

Somehow, from the newsbits Ive had a feeling that the game is different. Anyone can correct me?

[=98=]

No, Gran Turismo is mostly offline, but they want to create a close to real life car market i believe.

I don't know whether there are online races, but i do know you can download a lot of media including episodes of Top Gear :yay:

[Corkum]

So this is just a teaser game sort of? I hope that isn't an exhaustive list of vehicles, i used love buying the crappy used cars and tuning them. I will also now have a use for my PS3 other than watching DivX movies through Ubuntu on it.

[=98=]

That's just the prologue. About 5% of the game. It's to cash in pre-release hype.

[Polka]

I don't know whether there are online races, but i do know you can download a lot of media including episodes of Top Gear :yay:

You can even drive on their test track :yay:
In the full version
