60 FPS trailer for Gran Turismo PSP is sharp and smooth

by Griffin McElroy on Sep 14th 2009 11:20PM

We've seen pieces of media for Polyphony Digital's impossibly good-looking racer Gran Turismo PSP -- though no videos have offered looks of the game running at 60 FPS. We're not sure why a video game would need sunblock that powerful, but we -- what's that? Oh. Frames per second. We see.

Eurogamer's Digital Foundry has assembled a lengthy gameplay clip running at 60 frames per second -- though you may need to download a special version of the video from the site to truly see all those frames. The big brains over at DF also break down how the game's buttery-smoothness is scientifically possible, which more or less dismisses our "Elfin magic" theory out of hand.

Joy, another game were were promised 5 years ago that is just now coming to light.

at least we get to play it.

*looks out of the corner of his eye at duke nukem forever*

ummmm so what you are saying is that Developers either a.) don't need to talk about games until they are about to come out(killing any hope for marketing) or b.) make a game in under a year to keep people from having to wait and in the process give them shit...straight, utter, watery shit....DOO DOO...DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO....DOO

Chris, most good marketing revolves around not talking about your games until they are close to release.

What I'm saying is there is no reason that should have have been released in 2006 at the latest. I cant think of any real reason a racing game that was started development in 2003 - 2004 took till 2009 to finish. It was promised as a launch title.

The game was propsed as an upcoming game at the launch of the PSP, they never actually gave a date, they just said they were working on it. Considering they almost canceled it entirely it's amazing that they got around to it with all the work going into GT5 which was one of the reasons it was originally delayed. A full on console sequel takes precedence over a portable version because you dont want to burn too many resources. Frankly I have to imagin sony had to spit out a lot of extra cash so that Polyphony Digital could have it ready in time for the PSPgo's launch (also timed to coincide with the PS3 slim/relaunch campaign to gain interest in the playstation brand.)

I'm upvoting ya Ryoga, these fanboys are all the same, they are just happy the game is finally coming out instead of waiting on the "eh, we'll get around to this" shelf it's been on for the last 5 years.

Like science could ever get 60fps on a good-looking game on a handheld.

60fps = proof of Elfin magic.

I can't wait to read this post again in 20 years.

WTF is wrong with you twats? Elfin magic improves with time, you know.

yeah, in 20 years, 240FPS+ would be the new 30FPS on HANDHELDS. elfin magic DOES improve with time.

240 FPS? Lol, what would be the point? I don't think we could even tell the difference.

240fps would reduce screen tearing.... I'm just saying.

in the future we will just cram more time into the second

60 Frames? That's a little nuts isn't it? Don't most PS3/360 games run at like 30-45?

nothing nuts about it, the game sacrificed alot of graphical fidelity. and even limited the game to 4 cars simultaneously.

any game can run at 60, its because developers choose not to so that they can develop a game at 30fps with better visuals.

yeah, i would prefer if this game had 30FPS but with some AA and some more cars on screen.

Yeah, most console games do run at 30-45 fps. Which is why I usually buy PC...

It really does make a huge difference.

Damn TGS can't get here soon enough....I just want to get a GT5 release date of this year.....thanks...

What exactly do you do all day, Spyder?

sits at his computer, and refreshes joystiq every 30 seconds to see if there's a new post.

I did that one day...well it wasnt every 30 seconds but every 5 minutes or so....or while I was waiting on someone to walk in my sniper sights....

if the controls are right this game will definitely hold me over until GT5

Was that footage? Actual clear footage?! I thought it had to be obscured by law.
This game seriously just turned into an insta-buy.

"play your own MP3s from memory stick during gameplay"

Did any other game (excluding music games) have this feature before.

Crazy Taxi

wipEout pulse

the MLB games

I'm lost as to why all the screens are so dark.

looks good and smooth so far. i might consider getting this. haven't really liked racing games since then except hot pursuit and burnout series.

Too bad there is no Career mode in it.

AWESOME. Can't wait.

Here's something even better- you can make your own.

Howly Crap. With that kind of soundrack. I will buy the fucker definitely.

Ridge Racer PS1 let your play your own music... hardcore-tastic

I want to see more of the actual gameplay. I'm not a racing fan but I might just get this, since its being so hyped. :)

I am going to piss in your asshole.

I wish all games ran at 60 fps.

I was never a fan of the realistic gameplay that is GT dont get me wrong the game looks beautiful and handles like a dream but this game is really geared only at the true auto fanatic who know all about the ins and outs of automobiles. When this game hits the bargain price I give a try.

The game isn't really for auto fanatics or fans of realism, that's what Live for Speed and i-Racing are for. There's plenty of questionable physics and hand-holding here for the action gamer.

I bought the PSP 5 years ago anticipating this game. Since then I hav elost the system.... now I wish I could find it again.

A sunscreen joke? On a video game site? We all know no one uses sunscreen that browses this site, because sunscreen involves going outside.

I am glad that they got some smoke affects on those tires. With the earlier videos they weren't present and it had me worried.

affect=effect. DOH!

Awesome. Can't wait, will be the only UMD sitting in my PSP for quite some time after I get it.

60 FPS!!?? That's 216,000 FPH!! Damn, those cars are fast!!!!

better graphics then most wii games. sad.

so I hear this game has no career mode...

oh snap

the reviews I've read say this game is really poor
