VIDEO: GT5 trailer released, Gran Turismo for PSP coming this October
Gran Turismo 5 – Click above for new high-res image gallery or watch HD trailer after the jump
That screen cap you see above? That's the first evidence that Gran Turismo 5 will finally have damage rendering. The image is courtesy of the new GT5 trailer (posted after the break) Polyphony Digital released today at the E3 gaming expo. Other bits to note: fully-licensed NASCAR and WRC racing have been added for the first time, and, in typical Gran Turismo fashion, PD hasn't released a firm date for the game's release.
However, even more compelling than GT5's imminent arrival is what joined the release of the PSP Go (right), a lighter, more compact version of Sony's Playstation Portable (priced at $249.99). When the new 16-gig PSP arrives on October 1, you'll be able to download the first portable version of Gran Turismo – aptly named Gran Turismo Mobile – to the device. According to Kazunori Yamauchi, the man behind the GT series, this won't be a stripped-down version of the game. It boasts 60 frames-per-second rendering, 800 cars, 35 tracks, career and arcades modes, and the ability to play against three friends over the PSP Go's wifi connection. We haven't been able to find out if Gran Turismo Mobile will work on the current PSP platform, but we might be willing to shell out the coin if it means we can practice running the Nurburgring on our next flight to Germany.Make the jump to view the full GT5 and PSP Go trailers, and check the galleries below for plenty of brand new high-res screen shots.

Finally, I have been waiting a long time for GT5.

Finally what? It's not like it's coming out anytime soon. I'm going to be enjoying Forza 3 this holiday seasons and maybe this at Christmas 2010.

Ditto. I've deliberately been putting off purchasing a PS3, but I'll soon be making the investment. This and the upcoming God Of War III are so far the only reasons I'll be getting the PS3.

I bought a PSP the week it was released and waited YEARS for the Mobile version to arrive as they pushed out the release date again and again before I wrote it off as vaporware and sold my PSP. I'll believe this has arrived when I see it.

So what. It looks amazing. Polyphony has spent much time developing this great game. GT5 Prologue already has 3.3 million copies sold worldwide, so you can see the anticipation. Just because Forza 3 will be released before GT5, doesn't necessarily make the game and the Xbox 360 better than it. I personally don't mind the wait if the attention to detail is high.

Everything looks phenomenal, WRC, turning left for those miller nights, I'm stoked. Then, the R10, I cannot wait!

Is GT5 going to have NASCAR!? Finally a NASCAR game that doesn't suck balls. With In-depth tweaking that actually does something.

GT5 marketing is a disaster. Forza 2 made polyphonic go OH CRAP WE NEED DAMAGE AND CARS THAT DON'T DRIVE LIKE BOATS!? And now with the release of Forza 3 on the horizon and GT5 STILL without a release date they are going to go OH CRAP WE NEED TO GET A GAME OUT THIS DECADE!!!
I don't care how many cars GT5 has over Forza, because honestly I don't see me ever wanting to race little european hatch backs that go 0-60 in NEVER that drive like a boat. And then there's Nascar? REALLY?35 tracks? REALLY?? How many will Forza 3 have... what, 100 tracks you say??? And 400 cars that I'll WANT to drive????? Yea, I'm sticking with my box. And I suggest you all get on the Forza train to before you all look stupider (yea, STUPIDER).

Heimbachae:
You are a fanboy. First of all the PSP VERSION has 35 (unique) tracks and something around 60 additional variations and 800 cars... on the freakin PSP. And Forza's "100 tracks" is definitely counting variations.
And GT has always been top notch physics - GT4 still is more realistic than Forza 2. Yeah GT doesn't have damage yet, but Forza's attempt at damage is absolutely pathetic. When GT does add damage (it looks like 5 will) it will do it right.
The only one who looks stupid is you

i've NEVER been a fan of nascar, only @ the roadcourses, but i'm seriously stoked its gonna be in the game.
Justin Hollabaugh 8:49AM (6/03/2009)
Should be fun to do things that would never happen in real life... like run a "Car of Tomorrow" race at Nurburgring.

I'll be on something else in 2020, lol..

Anything depicting WRC in such detail has my attention, though I'll happily skip the NASCAR content. Perhaps it's time to argue for a PS3 to give my kid's Wii some company.

WTF is a Dodge Ram doing in this game.
That's quite possibly the stupidest thing I've seen since Escalades and Navigators in NFS:U2.

The Dodge Ram was also in Gran Turismo 4.

Where did you see a Dodge Ram?
I didn't see it in either video.
fmwso 8:39PM (6/02/2009)
fyi, GT producers usually put hundreds of licensed vehicles including pick-ups as well, so it's no surprise that they'd include a Ram for GT5. Personally, it was quite fun driving a Tacoma vs. a Ram in GT4.
why not the LS2LS7? 9:53PM (6/02/2009)
Dodge Ram was in PGR2 also. It even had SUV racing.
