It's been a while since we last saw images from Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 -- at least ones that were capable of moving whilst being accompanied by high-octane trance music. Such moving pictures were released earlier today, likely in an attempt to remind us just how pretty the game really is. (Here's a refresher course: It's super pretty.)
You can check out the trailer posted after the jump, but we suggest having some ninjas around when you watch it, because the music will totally make you want to fight some ninjas. More than usual.

They could at least release a new track for Prologue to keep us busy. That Tokyo circuit's got to be finished by now, no?

Do we even have a solid release day yet? Last I heard they were "trying" to make it by this holdiay season but still no promises. All the pretty in the world won't get you anywhere if you can't finish the damn game.

Seems like it was a 2 year turn around between all 3 forzas.
Can't argue that they get shit done.

I feel like the words "real" and "simulator" should not be in the same sentence. It's one or the other.

if GT is a driving simulator, then i must not know what it's like to drive a real car because when i play GT, the cars feel like a 2x4 on skateboard wheels. or, GT is stuck in the 1990's definition of a "racing simulator". i think both are equally correct.

Ha! That's in Forza?
Maybe it's Sony's way of getting back at Microsoft for using the Little Big Planet song in that 360 commercial a few months back?

Well I hope it gets closer to looking like that than the time trial demo.

It's a remix by Subfocus, you can tell by the cheesy synths. I donno who's the original track tho.

From the sound of it, I would guess it's "Pendulum"

High Octane Trance? Are you shitty me? Really...Thats Drum & Bass not trance.
The tune is Borrowed Time by TC featuring Sub focus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzJrdHBGN6c

I went and searched. It's "Pendulum - Showdown". It's not a remix by Subfocus.

Oops, nevermind. Showdown belongs to Forza 3, not GT5. Although I still stick with that this sounds a hell of a lot like Pendulum.

Do you have any idea how many musical 'genres' there are? It's about gorram time we reject the lot of them and stop trying to pigeonhole every single artist in the most specific and minutely different 'genres.'
Not everything has to fit in its proper place.

@Granger: I might call everything with guitars in 'guitar music' but that doesn't mean I should call, I dunno, a heavy metal tune 'country and western'. (Uh, country and western, is that even a genre? Does it have guitars in? Probably? You get the picture, anyhow.)
Similarly, if you don't want to be specific, that's fine - just call it electronic music or something. Trance is a specific style [and one that's not very much like this - to start with, a trance record probably wouldn't have got to the first build by the time the trailer ended :)], drum and bass is a specific genre. (Both are large, well-established and long-running genres, each with many stupidly detailed subgenres within that people probably spend hours arguing about.)
So call them both electronic music, or dance music, that's fine - but calling one of them the other one remains wrong, however much anyone would like to play the elitist 'oh noes pigeonholing' card.
Is it an important mistake, not at all, is it still a mistake, yes. Same kind of level as a spelling error...
Leaving all that aside, it's a nice tune (but they should license almost the entirety of the Sub Focus album, he's got lots better). The graphics sort of veered between 'amazing' and 'ho-hum' but I was watching at lowest-quality youtube so probably that is totally unfair judgement either way. :)
And I obviously don't watch many PS3 trailers but the 'hey, you might be able to actually afford it now' part at the end was slightly annoying...

Still think Forza Motor-sports 3 is the better game. besides by the time this comes out i will probably own the 3 best driving games out there. 1-FM3 2-Blur 3-Split Second,so there will be no need to give away my on this over hyped ,over due game. (IMHO)
