They said they had a big announcement. I just let everyone know what it was. Did I say it was big? No. I said that the big announcement they had planned was that.

[Hypoxiaicon]

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.

[SmokeDragoon]

i dont know if i wanna get another system yet..

but screenshots does look cool..

i got ps1, ps2 n XBOX..

i think i played each of them prolly less than 10x..

just no time anymore.. but sure would be nice if someone will lend PS3 to me when its out!!!

CMON !! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!! hahah..

[Dale]

now that the announcement is out. is it over or almost over?

and whens the xbox 360 re-unveiling @ E3?

1 hour 45 minutes approx?

EDIT: they did say the announcement is at the end.

I'm buyin'.

[JAbad28]

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.. .

Expected Release: Spring 2006

[Quickstrike]

The "big surprise" at the end of the show is the announcement that the next installment of Grand Theft Auto is exclusive to PlayStation 3. Expect PS3 in Spring of 2006.

Got it before the site went down because of server overload LOL.

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.

[micro]

that controller has to be one of the worst designs i have ever seen, they must have been hopped up on JOLT COLA when they came up with that damn thing. imop, re - release the old design with wireless capability.

who cares bout my spellin cuz i sure the hell dont.

[.stan]
