Does the sequel come with 'gameplay' this time? finger's crossed.

Only in the US are they best known for that 'whoo hoo' song.. here in the UK, they are known for a string of very good albums and stunning live shows. And having spent an evening with Blur after a gig (in a bar not 'like that') can confirm they are all top blokes (apart from Alex who is a bit up himself) Damon is cool as fuck, and something of a genius.

Shame I can't stand all this fkin rockband/guitar hero shite that is put out constantly but good to see blur getting some PR.

Still waiting for that 'cool looking' Trophy Room.. wtf happened with that? Did I miss it - I admit I barely go on home cos it's pretty pointless while they charge you for everything.. no thanks - real life commerce already 'taxes us' to the hilt...

Really like this game - hoping they are still doing a HALLOWEEN table???? (WTF? did I miss it)

Had the one on Xbox 360 back when it came out (before it died) and this is much better gfx wize.

Had Forza 2 on my (now dead) 360 and was utterly underwhelmed by the graphics then. I'd hope F3 was better but it barely looks it.

The difference between the GT5P and F3 screenshots/cars is night and day. Anyone who claims this is only because we are 'fanboys' is a deluded fool. LOOK MAN with your own eyes.

.Car Models are much much better (more realistic and detailed) on GT5
.Lighting (on track and ESP on car) is more natural/beautiful on GT5
.Environments are more naturally coloured and lit on GT5 with less 'jaggy' look
.In Car view is close to PhotoReal™ on GT5 yet looks like a cartoon on F3

There are quite a few other observations that make GT5 'look' better than F3 but I'll stop there.

First game was.. amazing. My favourite on 360 (before it died). EVen with it's quirks and flaws. This on PS3 will be even better. Stunning game and such atmosphere - best of this gen by far!

I agree. I like the movies (A bit) but as a transformers fan as a kid (84+) can't help but see the 'movie designs' as extremely generic and completely lacking character compared to 'true' G1 Designs. The above skins look 1000x better than the movie style.

I kinda hate 'Bay for what he did tbh... (I know I'm hardly alone, or orginal in that thought) though some TF movie is better than none I guess.

You do all realise this multiplayer is going to suck so badly you'll want to burn you finger nails off instead? Look at the actualy GAMEPLAY of the first game, it was terrible, slack, dull, lose, mediocre... on this game, in multiplayer where story and sometimes pretty environments can't save a game, it will come down to gameplay and I have zero faith in this bunch of development charlatans to know what they are actually doing... if they can't get a single player game to feel remotely fun then what chance for multiplayer?

Do not buy into the hype for this game, I would say wait for reviews but we all know reviews were 10/10 last time cos most were paid to hype it up... worst 'best' game ever!

WTF happened to the home 'Trophy room' - that was the coolest feature for me and I've not seen it? (well maybe it's there now I don't use home cos it's boring as all boring thanks to every item being priced instead of free - who's gonna customise a virtual home? my REAL home needs money spent on it never mind a fake one - give it free you money grabbing bstrds)

very sad comments.

I'm an older gamer and I've own hardware from all of the big 3 during my time.

My 360 died (of course) and I was bitter, and since moved on to a pleasent life on the PS3.

None of these systems are perfect.

If 'natal' ends up as a POS then sobeit, wait and see... it's better than stagnation an taking no risks (for any company).. even if they are playing catch up with the wii.

And I for one would welcome some Wii-like control but with graphics on my HDTV that don't make me puke (i.e min 720p), also of importance is the fact that my previous 'favourite' company (Nintendo) have lost the plot entirely when it comes to making games for the *GAMERS* who put them where they are...

All those casual players and fitness freak moms are buying wii and then.. leaving it to gather dust. The DS is full of shovelware (with some great games too I admit - I've owned 4 DS's over time and 4 GBA/Sps before that).

Nintendo are missing the point with GAMES. MS and Sony still understand what great games for 'normal' gameplayers can be but are lacking the gimmicks that Nintendo have to jump into that lucrative 'I know nothing about games but this wii console will make me fit' market.

In other words all 3 companies are flawed, we all know this, they all have strengths too and this 'copying' from each other is a GOOD thing for gamers not bad so why do so many people see it as negative? That can only be about fanboyism.

The copying is in effect 3 great brains working together to make each console the best it can be and should be welcomed. This gen has been a bit of a mess for me personally... very transitionary. NEXT GEN is where all the kinks will have been sorted out and projects like the above are all part of that development process.

Sure a lot of ideas crash and burn but I'm sure as shit glad these people try things out or we'd all still be playing Atari VCS.
