Videos: Gran Turismo 5 intro, game play hit the web

Somewhere out there on a secluded hog farm, an adorable baby piglet was just born with butterfly wings. A rash of new Gran Turismo 5 gameplay videos have made their way to the information super highway, including a full clip of the racing simulator's seven-minute introduction video. Make sure you've got plenty of break time saved up before diving into that particular gem.

The other clips focus on racing in the rain around Eiger Nordwand and darting through Tsukaba Circuit. It's difficult to tell just how much the graphics have improved over what we've seen of the game in the past thanks to the shaky-hand-cam-on-TV-screen action in each of the videos, but hey, we'll take what we can get.

Knowing that there are some lucky jokers out there playing the game right now almost takes the sting out of the fact that we were supposed to have GT5 in our hands at the beginning of this month. Almost. Hit the jump to check out the action for yourself.
