Gran Turismo 5 to Be Previewed in OPM UK Next Month

[Coldgunner]

There must be a creative decision rather than a technical one to opt for lower res+AA instead of native 1080p.

Either way it'll look good.

I don't think anyone goes for lower resolution for creative reasons. They obviously couldn't pull it off in full HD so they lowered it.

THat's why I said originally in another thread. I knew they couldn't do full 1080p. this resolution they are going with is half the pixels of true 1080p and with nicer anti-aliasing it's 720p probably. This is probably the same approach as with Forza.

In terms of creative I was thinking that its better to downscale the current setup to 720p, which is what most people will run, rather than having native 1080p with no AA being run at 720p with huge amounts of aliasing.

I still think the game will look great and as AB stated, vertical resolution is more important than horizontal in this instance.

I'm pretty sure PD have thought of msot of our concerns and have obviously chosen a middle ground.

Except Forza doesn't do higher than 720 horizontally, so no, it's not the same approach.

And it's slightly higher than half the pixels.

Gran Turismo 5 publicity begins with Citro?n>

Gran Turismo 5 publicity starts with Citro?n and Polyphony Digital's supercar.b>

Racing London in Gran Turismo 5 was a fantasy we thought we'd never be able to enjoy in real-life. That's somewhat true, but today Citro?n offered their stunning concept supercar, the GTbyCITRO?N, to the city and recreated the circuit featured in Gran Turismo 5.

Yes, it looks like Polyphony Digital is starting to advertise Gran Turismo 5 already, adding evidence to a late-2009 release.

The GTbyCITROEN is the result of a partnership between Citro?n and Polyphony, measuring 4.96 meters and just over a metre high, sporting wide air intakes, rear air-diffuser, horizontal LED headlamps, gull wing doors, diamond-effect 21-inch aluminium wheels, black leather finishes and hi-tech racing controls.

You can find a selection of photographs of the car's tour of London below, but be warned, some of the photos are not as they seem.

The GTbyCITRO?N will make its UK show d?but at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, 3rd to 5th Ju[uPDATE]TE] - Lets make this a little more interesting. We'll send out a selection of goodies to two commenters who correctly identify which photographs are real and which are from Gran Turismo 5.

Each prize will include a copy of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for the PSP, a Hellboy plastic model, Volume 1 of The Slayers on DVD, Huntik: Trading Card Game DVD, and a Darksiders art card signed by a member of the development team!

Looks like OPM UK is getting the actual exclusive article piece (out next week)....

OPM France is just a 2 page teaser

Although from translations apparently the mag confirms a 2009 release.

well having just read it... there really is NOTHING new in there.

they say that Polyphony have aquired the WRC and Nascar License. (NO NEWS SINCE ITS IN THE FREAKIN TRAILER)

then they confirm it will be out in 09, which is cool, but why trust them more than any other source whos been saying that.

and then they go on saying how great it looks, and how most of the usual gran turismo courses and championships will be there.

finally they say that E3 demo gave them a glimpse of the damage system in GT5, but this also we know for ourselves seeing as "the glimpse" was in the trailer.

... damn french :p

Yamauchi: ?We will give the release date of GT5 soon.?

In a short but sweet interview with AutoWeek magazine which must have fallen through the cracks with all the other E3 news, GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi stated that ?We will give the release daGran Turismo 5 5 soon.? The question remains, though - just how soon is ?soon?? Speculation is mounting in our forums, with many pointing towards the upcoming Tokyo Game Show this September 24-27. Aside from taking place on Polyphony Digital?s home turf (their offices are located in Tokyo), the 2007 TGS show is where they announced the relGT5 Prologue. rologue. While this is just speculation, you can see the pieces of the puzzle would fit together quite nicely. Another surprisingly interesting portion of the interview came when Yamauchi waGran Turismo 1 Turismo 1?s devAW: [AW: How hard was it to make that fiKY: iKY: It took five years. In those five years, we could not see the end. I would wake up at work, go to sleep at work. It was getting cold, so I knew it must be winter. I estimate I was home only four days a year.days a year.

[/indent] He also mentioned the original game was created by a staff of only 7 people! Oh, how things have changed?.
