Gran Turismo 5 Hands-On Preview and Collector's Edition Detailed (Eurogamer, GV)

Eurogamer has posted their hands-on impressions of Gran Turismo 5.

Quote:


	"There are two types of car in Gran Turismo, apparently: premium cars and standard cars. The latter, it's worth noting, are only standard by Yamauchi's exacting principles: there's over 800 of them, they cover the majority of the vehicles included in all the previous Gran Turismo games, including the PSP version, and they've been optimised and upscaled for the PS3. If that bothers you, a show reel of standard cars - Dodge muscle numbers, streamlined F1 concepts, and something that looks to my untrained eye like a Mini Clubman with way too many rallying headlights - hardly makes them seem shabby. They're glossy, finely detailed, and a fair match for anything you might have seen in Project Gotham or Forza. The 200 premium cars that take the final count past the 1000 mark are something else, however. The premiums have been lavished with a slightly worrying amount of detail - every single screw is visible in the hubs, the interiors have been recreated down to the stitching (standard cars won't have interiors, which is a bit sad, but there are, like, 800 of them), and their undersides have been comprehensively modelled to take into account a new physics system which, along with allowing for dents and scratches, can sends your ride flipping through the air during collisions."

	"Yesterday Sony made a lot of gamers happy by finally announcing a release date for the long awaited Gran Turismo 5, which will be in stores on November 2nd of this year. Since fans of the series have been waiting over two years to get their hands on something other than the Prologue, it's only natural that the level of anticipation is through the roof. Looking to cash in on those high hopes, developer Polyphony Digital has announced the GT5 Collector's Edition, which includes a handful of "must-have items" inspired by the game. Those items are: Exclusive 1:43 scale diecast 2009 Nissan GT-R Spec V In-depth 300-page car guide Gran Turismo branded key chain Five DLC cars A numbered certificate of authenticity "Premium" packaging

This still doesn't prove that there is no cockpit view for these cars. We'll see. I wish they would just go ahead and clarify it instead of beating around the bush.

I hope you are right... I love driving using the interior cam

No wonder this game is taking forever to release. I still don't buy that we will be seeing this game for another year, disregard the Nov release date. Once the backlash hits regarding this stupid deveolopement there will be another year delay. These guys deserve for this game to bomb and it's looking like it might. They waste years putting in the stupidest features and then ignore the most basic ones. I'm dumbfounded.

Don't lose hope yet.

They could mean something like this:

Standard:

Premium:

No one really knows yet. I'm wondering if some details that were meant to clear this up were just lost in translation, or if they are purposely being vague.
