Famitsu Review Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - 39/40


Recommended Posts

looks like it's up on the japanese psn. it's a whopping 1.8 gigs :wacko:

Are you sure!? People are reporting it's install from the disk is 4.7GB maybe they compressed it down for the PSN and then it extracts it self when installing? :blink:

The PlayStation Store version requires 5,121 megabytes (just over 5 gigabytes) of avaliable hard disk space.

So somehow the 1.8GB extracts to over 5GB? That can't be right maybe once you start it after the 1.8GB download it begins to download the rest?

Since the Disk version installs 4.7GB it installs pretty much the entire game on your system, but you still need the disk to start it.

DAMN..looks AWESOME.. There you go.. that's the one I bought the PS3 for.. FINALLY! :)

This is the FIRST game that will REALLY move PS3s. The only problem I think is that not everyone is a huge driving fan so the effect will be somewhat limited, but it looks absolutely spectacular.. it's a must to own any way you look at it. I just hate the fact that i have to pay $25 or whatever for it and then again for the full game.

UPDATE:

AH DAMN!!! No damage!!! Crap!

Still hope though! Fingers crossed!

Yup, it may be added as a download for prologue... if not it's 100% confirmed for GT5.

Man, I totally passed on the sweet deals of black friday but looking at this GT5 Prologue review, I want one now. Anyone now of any retailers with hot deals or bundles on PS3 for Christmas?

I wouldn't sweat it just yet, unless you plan on importing.

GT5 Prologue isn't hitting American/European shores till Q1 next year

Sony UK dates GT5 Prologue, WipEout HD

Things will get off to a good start in 2008 for PlayStation gamers, as Sony confirms a promising Q1/Q2 launch line-up.

The list from Sony US puts Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on track for a Q1 release in the States, while the silky-smooth WipEout HD is pencilled in for a more vague "early 08" release.

Sony UK, however, has told CVG that GT5 Prologue will also hit UK PS3s in Q1, while placing WipEout HD at a slightly more specific Q2 release.

GT5 is scheduled for somepoint in 2008.

If I were you I'd wait for the xmas sales that start in January :yes:

They'll be better priced/bundled for a pickup then I think! - Unless others can pinpoint some good deals just now?

I had the fortune of playing the demo version on my friends new setup yesterday evening. A nice shiny new PS3 matched up to a Panasonic 37" plasma, running GT5 at 1080p.

It looked stunning - like absolutely stunning and it played just as well as you always knew it would. I was right into it from the start having been a LONG time Gran Turismo fan.

I really can see myself caving and getting a PS3 especially now there is a cheaper 40GB version. Gonna need a decent TV to match up to it as well though!! :)

It just came out in Japan today. It's not coming to North America till Q1 2008 and Q2 for Europe.

GT5 Prologue is not the full game, that will be out late 2008 or sometime 2009. This is like a preview for those that can't wait for the full game. Many of us can't wait so much that we have ordered the Japanese version instead of waiting for the English version.

If you'd like to get the Japanese disk the best sites are http://us.yesasia.com/en/index.aspx and http://www.play-asia.com/

I am hoping they go back to the GT1 days where you could by the Race Day Kits for them, which would apply body kits and sponsor logos. Look proper cool :D

Yeah, they stopped doing that since GT2 :( I'd love to see that feature come back! anyway good to see GT is shaping up very nicely :) I'm probably not gonna get a PS3 for some time but when/if I do, GT is definitely a game I gotta have on it :woot:

Just think i ordered a bit too late, It's just saying "Processing" and when you click GT5, It's not in stock.

So if there's no news tomorrow I'm gonna try cancelling it and just getting the Playstation Store version, even though i hate downloading games like that ...

Anyone on here get the game? Let's see some screenshots or something!

Lots of us ordered the game, but it takes more then a day to get from Japan. Mine shipped a few hours ago and probably won't be here before I go out of town.. I'll have to wait till the 28th to play it :(

Screens of someones TV!

That makes me want to play GT5P more... It's odd that the first thing I noticed was that the TVs are Samsung (could tell by the text box saying still)
