Sony debuts Gran Turismo 5 trailer

Gran Turismo 5 finally made an appearance at Sony's E3 briefing in the form of a short trailer showing off the game. Polyphony Digital's latest racer will bring rally racing to the series, and while the visuals looked terrific, we didn't get to see any actual gameplay, so there's no major indications whether it'll be more like Gran Turismo 4 or more like Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.
But either way, we bet it'll be Gran Turismo. No date set for release, obviously -- we'll bring you a nice-looking version of the trailer when we can.

In that particular picture it says "WRC" (World Rally Championship) in the bottom right corner =/
Jimmy @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:10PM
During the demo they also showed a clip of a NASCAR race. Looks like GT5 has secured licensing rights to both the FIA World Rally Championship and NASCAR for the game.
PoonDaddy @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:13PM
I'm pretty sure I also saw some damage in there... at least on the rally cars. It would be sick-nasty if they could integrate it into everything!
Mutant @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:23PM
That's WRC alright. Mikko Hirvonen's Ford Focus to be exact. With real World Rally Championship cars this might convince me to get it instead of Dirt 2.
donkamero @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:34PM
yep, if this has the full wrc competition format and not just the cars, and the cars play at least as good as the rally mode from previous gran turismo games (it has been in it before joystiq) then this will be the game for rally fans, not Dirt2.
Heck, I may actually buy a ps3 now, or steal my brothers ;) Has the potential to be 1st game to make the ps3 worthwile in my opinion.

This game and Forza 3 are gonna have an epic showdown unto which game is better. Forza will sell more but i think GT5 will give it a runs for its money
Mein Bratwurst @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:30PM
Go away. Please.

You have no idea
phinnvr6 @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:12PM
lol at your comment, Forza 3 is a retarded joke compared to what GT5 will be. The only question is will it ever actually be released. In the meantime Forza 3 wins.
arkweld @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:29PM
"Forza 3 is a retarded joke compared to what GT5 will be"
you do realize that statement is more idiotic than the one you are putting down?
Unless you work for Polyphony you have no idea what GT5 will be like. Assuming it ever appears and when it does it isn't just a buggy mess that looks better than it plays.
What you see is not always what you get.
OAKside @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:41PM
"Unless you work for Polyphony you have no idea what GT5 will be like."
Or unless you've played GT5 Prologue. Or any GT for that matter, you know what to expect: Pretty much auto racing/simulation perfection that makes all competitors look like "retarded jokes" IMO. But there is that 10(?)-year dev cycle to make fun of...
Pip @ Jun 3rd 2009 10:44AM
Unfortunately, Forza took over that crown some time ago. I'm just happy there are two sim racers available now. I buy and play them all.
deathxrebirth @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:09PM
I can't believe they still haven't dated the thing. Come on already...
MLC (PSN ID: Myke-Myke) @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:22PM
Dude, I cant believe that either!!! I was hoping for an announcement for a "Spring 2010" release but I think Sony will release it next "Holiday 2010". Maybe to coincide with the inevitable release of the SLIM PS3...
GT5 looks gorgeous. I mean, DAMN! When I saw the Nascar footage, I was like "Holy Sh!t"! Hopefully, Sony will announce something special for GT5 and MGS:R @ the TGS.
P.S. GT:PSP has more cars than Forza 3, WOW!!!
Duke @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:27PM
This is bizarre. How can they still not have dated this game. I am shocked that more fans of the series aren't pissed off here.
donkamero @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:46PM
I remember seeing the first trailer 4 years ago... 4 YEARS! It's taking far too long. Wish they would hurry up, they are as bad as those Alan Wake guys.
Eh @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:23PM
I cant believe they are still developing it, how can they possibly sell enough copies of this to pay for such long development and so many features? Its like several full fledged racing games in one. It seems impossible to make a profit.
Maybe Prologue was released in order to fund its development.

Grand Turismo: The new Duke Nukem?
whookid @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:57PM
hey, look on the bright side!!! It might be a launch game for the PS4. :D
klitorisaurus @ Jun 2nd 2009 10:44PM
@ Duke --- I'm Furious! I bought my PS3 2 years ago specifically for this game, even given the fact that ALL of my VG playing friends play Xbox! I'm missing out on years of online interactions with my RL friends. Every time I hear I hear about something new that PolyD is working on (like the GTR Nav system) I just wanna slap them in the face! I feel like Clark Griswold when he found out Wally World was closed!
I've been a Sony Fan since it's inception but this generation may be my last... I don't mind the fact that Xbox gets more exclusives, but I HATE the fact that Sony constantly teases us with projects that are half a decade out! Their sales pitch doesn't focus on projects on the horizon...it focuses on projects on the otherside of the planet!
Lambrick @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:10PM
those scenes where the cars were driving... yeah, that's actually replay footage. it always has been in the GT series.
Danny @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:21PM
Replay data on GT is rendered in real time, so it doesn't make the slightest bit of difference.
Killjebus...PSN Killjebus @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:22PM
Yes, its funny how Joystiq is not aware of the reply feature in ALL GT games. Replay in REAL TIME.
Anyone else notice the damage modeling on the Rally Car?
Looks fracking sweet. I would expect a proper unveiling at TGS
Eh @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:26PM
The replay is real time but its not rendered the same way as normal playing, there are a lot of added effects since its not as demanding.
Dartmerc @ Jun 2nd 2009 7:07PM
Replays are rendered at 30FPS rather than the 60FPS the game runs at, this allows the additional effects (focus, better motion blur, bloom) to be implemented.
Lambrick @ Jun 2nd 2009 7:33PM
so you see my point then? that is, the fact they're showing the replays shows that the game is well beyond the need to show "gameplay."
theydidntnameme @ Jun 12th 2009 11:17PM
so thats why ea stopped with nascar games. because polyphony put nascar in and then some
quickshade @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:10PM
DUE to our new PSP title this project is pushed back to 2011......holiday.
quickshade @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:12PM
Not to say the game doesn't look good, but I can make a game look good all day, if I never have to release it.
SP @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:15PM
Am I the only that saw the damage on that blue Subaru Impreza
Dehshizknight @ Jun 2nd 2009 6:15PM
Nope :)
There was damage modeling in that trailer
BananaBoat @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:19PM
If any of what they showed turns out to be in-game footage, Forza 3 better watch out. Even if the Forza 3 team has already labeled their game as the premiere racing game for any console ever (or whatever word they used 10 times during their 3 minute speech. Predominate? Preeminent? Something like that), GT:5 looks like it will be a tough competitor
I was kinda miffed when the GT creator walked off the stage after previewing GT for the PSP, but that fake got me hook line and sinker.
Killjebus...PSN Killjebus @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:22PM
That was replay footage from a race. That IS IN GAME.
BananaBoat @ Jun 2nd 2009 8:45PM
Well, it could be like Wipeout HD's photo taking mode, with filtering and complete camera control. Good point though.
boots555 @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:20PM
I seen the NASCAR in there as well. Since EA no longer has the rights I guess the only way to get NASCAR racing is GT.
DoctorWho @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:29PM
Not entirely true. iRacing (real motor sports simulator) for the PC also has the rights to make a NASCAR game. I don't think the license is exclusive anymore.
PSN: John-Paul-Jones @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:45PM
Gran Turismo NASCAR = EPIC RACING
Captain Planet @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:20PM
Give me Forza any day of the week. I mean c'mon, did anyone else see the movie maker feature in Forza 3? Shit looks bananas!!
Mein Bratwurst @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:32PM
So, wait.. you're choosing Forza over GT5 because of a movie maker? Well that makes sense. Also, what says GT5 won't also have a similar feature?
Hexen @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:39PM
He is a 360 owner,what were you expecting him to say!?
Jay [psn: jayrockslife] @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:21PM
The fact that Nascar is going to be in this game just sold me over.
I've been waiting for this game to come out for a while as well as a good nascar game for years and I'm sure that just the nascar portion of this game will be better than any other nascar game made.
Louis @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:41PM
This game looks amazing, but who cares. I have every GT game and Prologue, but Microsoft will have released Forza 2 and 3 this generation before we even get a release date on GT5. GT PSP was announced FIVE years ago, and it just now has a release date in October. Who knows, at the moment, it is more likely that GT will compete with Forza 4, so all comparisons are moot.
Rally, Nascar, and Touring. Unreal...if we ever see it.
jasper @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:41PM
so cant wait for gt5 going to be best racer ever
jakoff @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:46PM
where can i finde the trailer for GT 5?
samik @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:47PM
Something tells me GT5 is going to blow Forza out of the water - funny how some people always mention sales for Halo but not for Forza 2 (almost outsold by GT5 Prologue, less than half the sales of a GT)
And please, let us have some real damage modelling, and not the tacked on Forza stuff where you can slam into a wall at 150 and still drive off!
Duke @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:34PM
Something tells you? Yeah, because we all just came to this site and missed all your normal pro-sony posts. C'mon man.
NOT ME @ Jun 2nd 2009 9:40PM
What the fuck are talking about.....You GT bitches need to really get a grip on shit around here....1st MOST if not all forza players were GT fans. so lets just get that clear....No one is knocking the tracks gt has (obviously im refering to current history of gt)or the cars..its a great game....but on that same token its been the same shit since the 1st one....granted 3 was break through because of the graphics....rally was in the older ones then removed so yes great game....but grow up and live outside your little box. since I grew up on it and have had every one up until the current how the fuck is GT and better than a game that simply has more to offer.....tweaks yes both have millions of them but GT hasnt even done motor swaps and in the early ones you couldnt even choose between supercharging or turbos. And fuck you if you cant appreciate adding bodywork and custom paint. cause in gt you couldnt even change your paint color once you bought the car. Oh no damage this entire time, yea its getting it but after how long...A racing game should be exciting on and off the track which in gt's case it isnt . playing gt prologue was fun but souless. its not really fun you just wanna finish. you could barely hear the motor if your behind view....which makes no fucking sense considering that beside turbo (blowoff/spool) or supercharged whine the bulk of the sound you hear is from the tailpipe. even after making audio adjustments everything just seems quiet. oh and 150 crash and keep going where the fuck did yo see that???? cause most of car is damage to function at that depending on what angle you hit at....have you played a GT game lately how about you can stay parallel with the wall and just bounce on and off not spin out or lose any real speed....until you become very familiar with both games and can make real comparisons then please you and people like you who have no idea what eaches games pro and cons are STFU!
bobsagetxtreme @ Jun 3rd 2009 8:36PM
lol halo bashing? haven't seen that before
See here's the difference between GT5 and Forza 3, although GT5 does look like it has more features to it and whatnot, Forza 3 has actually been given a release date and is coming out sometime soon, where GT5 well, no release date, not even at the sony conference, sounds like its got a case of DNF.
