Nissan GT-R will debut in Gran Turismo 5 as downloadable car
click above image for more screenshots of the NIssan GT-R in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue
It's only about a month until the world debut of Nissan's all-new GT-R at the Tokyo Motor Show and, in an innovative marketing stunt, fans will be able to start using the car in the latest Gran Turismo game as soon as the covers come off the real thing. Anyone unable to attend the show will be able to see the car up close and at multiple angles by downloading a demo version of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for the Play Station 3, whose availability will coincide with the launch of the iconic car.
There will be several new models unveiled in the game in addition to the GT-R, which in a nod to enthusiasts who've been frothing at the mouth, will be sporting the familiar camouflaged front and rear cladding as seen in spy shots of the car. As these official screen shots reveal, players will also be able to test drive the GT-R Proto concept car from 2005, as well.

Is that a screenshot from GT5 or a picture taken of the actual car? I'm confused!

I love the GT-R. The graphics are pretty slick. But the PS3's price is scary. Maybe next year. :-(

There is no way in h@ll those are actual gameplay
shots. The makers of
GT5 ought to be ashamed for posting pictures of spruced up graphics,
for promotion. The actual game will be no where near as close as
those pictures present themselves to be. Xbox 360 has consistently
out shined PS3 in numerous game titles. The PS3 has modified 7900gt
graphics card. Believe me, if you know any thing about computer
gaming, you will most certainly know the 7900gt is not, I repeat, is
not capable of running graphics like that, unless you don't mind
playing a slide show. Sony has to be one of the most dishonest
companies in the entire gaming world, they have repeatedly past off
pre-rendered game shots as real-time gameplay. Shame on you Sony.
Don't be alarmed folks there's nothing to see here.

Obviously you've never played GT5:HD, the free download for the PS3 that looks just as good. Feck off fanboy.

It's 100% confirm realtime - gameplay shots, idiot.
Forza 2 can not compare to Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. Plus Top Gear and Best Motoring International have signed on with Gran Tursimo to be feature in GT5: P new GT-TV, only on the PS3.

I bet you wouldn't say that to my face f@cka!
I don't own either one of those consoles, but I'm definitely a fan of the GT series since day #1. If you followed them through the years, you would know this isn't the first time they've passed off touch up and fraudulent pictures f@cka!

that's not the half of it! I remember when the first stories broke of the 350z and how involved Kazunori Yamauchi was in the development of that car... pretty damn cool if you ask me.

I don't know whether to reply or leave it alone Mikey. You just contradicted yourself all in one reply.
You just said PS2 came out around 97-99', which is wrong try mid 2000. The original xbox came out exactly one year after that.
Now here is where you contradicted yourself. Shouldn't PS2 have been more developer friendly since it came out ahead of the xbox? As soon as the xbox dropped, the graphics were pretty darn superior to PS2's. What happened to you comment about PS3 needing so much time for development?
Believe it or not, both systems are much more dependent upon their graphics processors. That's a fact. The whole issue about the cpu is pure marketing. These systems, unlike a PC's don't have to rely heavily upon their respective cpu's, for a lack of numerous background programs. So that's a none issue.
You see the problem with PS3 is that, even though it has a slightly faster gpu, it lacks the abundance of unified memory like the 360. Causing the PS3's gpu to become bottlenecked. I'll give you an analogy. Take for instance the Mustang. No matter how much power the engine is capable of putting out, if it doesn't have proper tire and suspension, the performance will definitely become bottlenecked, with a bunch of body roll, and tire spinning, resulting in lost effective power. Get it?

I suddently feel much better about buying a PS3 on friday :D

It's a nice system, but don't expect the impossible. It makes a decent blu-ray player, but if games are what you're mainly after, 360 does the same thing for cheaper.

I'll go off topic for a second. I'm buying the PS3 for two important reasons:
1) first and foremost, like any gamer who's used consoles since the Sega Genisis and NES days, my primary motivator is not price, it's titles. The main title I'm interested in in this one, GT5, period. I've played the 360 for quite some time, and have found the big titles, such as Gears of War, to provide little entertainment after defeating the game (done in around 10 hours). Forza’s fun, but I was bread on the GT franchise and look forward to it like no other. Thus the choice is clear.
2) Secondly, all the movies I like tend to be sony titles, sony backs blu-ray, thus the inclusion of a blu-ray player in the $399 model (as opposed to paying, say, $579 for the Xbox with HD DVD bundle – talking retail for the simplicity of argument) is a huge factor for me.
Sony has the main title I want and plays the movies I watch, that’s all I need. Other factors are important as well. I’ve got a 1080p display, thus HDMI is a must, and microsoft’s cheapest 360 with hdmi is $349.99, $50 less then the PS3, and doesn’t provide a high definition for that price.
In conclusion, as I’d wager most would intrinsically suspect this late in the PS3/xbox360 debate, I’ve chosen the PS3 due to it’s forthcoming halo title and support for high definition cinema without the necessity of another, expensive, daisy chained drive.

I love that they kept the concepts looks original.

BUT you forgot to mention, the PS3 has an 8 core processor where as the xbox 360 is a 4 core, the video is just as good once "game makes know how to use it" for example, who would have thought that GT4 could come from the old puny PS2? And remember something else, it has taken game makers about 3-4 years to finally start to grasp the xbox 360's power, how long has the PS3 been out? a year?
you need to shut up and give it time, the people at Gran Turismo never cheap shot a game they release, hence why it takes em 5-10 years to make a game.
