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!

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.

God it's obvious none of you know anything about cpu's and gpu's. "It's got an eight core processor" "blah blah blah." That's been any company's marketing strategy since day one. Specs! Remember PS2's so called "emotion engine?" It was suppose to be the cutting edge of technology right? Xbox 1 still out shined it in the performance department. The final results are the only thing that matters, so you shut the f@ck up!
In comparison to PC's and Mac's PS3's so called 8 core is processor is as cheap and low quality as they come. What does it matter how may cores it has, when the memory speed and architecture is just a quasi multi processor.
Almost every game the the 360 has shared with the PS3, the 360 has outshined the PS3 version in comparison, consistently. Let me say it again. Almost every game the 360 has shared with the PS3, the 360 has out shined the PS3 version in comparison, consistently!!!
The first shots Sony showed when GT4 was being uncovered in 2004 were also touched up fakes. This time is no different! Unless they reconfigured what's actually under the hood of PS3's, for this game only, I smell Bullsh!t!!!

the point i tried to come accross, is the PS2 came out what year, 1997 or 1999, and the xbox was like 3-5 years later. ofcourse the xbox outshined the PS2 is graphics, it had several years in graphics and hardware advancement in its pocket, so you have to realize, the PS3 took longer to come out because it did something different than what the 360 did, the 360 is about as powerful as my computer as im using, and thats because its a windows based computer... so u can use those intel processors etc etc... the PS3 has a server processor which is rated as one of the best multi tasking cpu's thats come out so far.
so the point i was trying to say is, ofcourse PS3 games out right now suck, they havent had as much time as the xbox 360 people have had to start to grasp how to use the power potential... I remember when the 360 came out, lots of games looked like crap, ofcourse it takes them 2 years to figure it out... give sony another year or two and it will be figured out...
