GT5 is slated to finally have car damage in it. Should be interesting to see considering the ps3 should easily handle the calculations needs to accurately show damage on the models.

If you head over to GTP Forums (Gran Turismo Planet) You'll get all the Latest GT5 News, first, Guranteed.

What held GT4 back was the PS2.

When they where making GT4 they where also doing things for GT5 for the PS3 ;)

Thats why GT4 sucks.

GT5 will blow us all away.

I agree with SmokeDragon .. . But I would get the PS3 and Xbox 360 but not at the same time. . .Just to look stylish/rich, haha, JP. .. I would actually get em' both cause they sound so great and look great too. . Imagine having a PS3 and Xbox 360 side by side that would be great.. .

No they aren't. Do you think they will tweak this design alot before the finla release? My first reaction for the controller was :wacko: :crazy: but its kind of ok as long as won't be too big. 7! wireless controllers. They really made sure they beat xbox on that one didn't they.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By skinnyJM · Posted

      Since they open sourced the calculator in Win 10/11 it is much better and can do a lot, I love it.
    • Using Windows 10 past its end of support date, is it really that bad?

      That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.

      Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
