If you had the money I would say get both, I bought a replace PS3 and an Xbox 360 at the same time, the GAME employes seemed pretty happy, though people on the way to the car kept giving me looks lol.

But if you can only get one, I would decide on which you will play the most over a period of time, or what other recent games are coming out too that you might want and let that guide your decision.

If you can't afford both brand new, then how about going second-hand? You should be able to get both for the price of a new PS3, or even as cheap as a new 360, if you're lucky.

If those images posted by Killa Aaron are from GT5 then I really want to know how they did it because with the level of hardware present in the system I seriously doubt graphical detail at that level is possible unless these are all still shots and not at all indicative of actual game play.

I really wish this game was on PC. Hardware that could actually run it at higher visual quality than is even present in these shots while maintaining full motion and playability.

These are ingame real time shots, the last one is Nurburgring with the Mercedes classes.

Maybe PD is utilising the full potential of the PS3. No one has really done it so far.

I don't know about this version but I do remember screenshots of a previous GT that looked great (for the time) but then it turned out it was only in a specific replay mode or photo mode, not in-game, as in not the same graphics while you were driving the car. To me it would seem like some of these shots are like that, particularly the one of the Lamborghini wheel.

Yep the power of the CELL.

That would be great if the Cell was a GPU. But it is a CPU. The GPU present in the PS3 is basically a 7800GT and I seriously do fail to see how they are able to output graphics this detailed when no one else can. These shots don't even match Prologue or live footage of GT5 itself.

I do have to say that i agree with you, this game does have some amazing detail and also the shot with the three Mercedes cars is in fact a in game shot you have to remember that it has been two years since Prologue released and the game has had an overhaul in the graphics and physics department, example take Uncharted and compare the huge difference to Uncharted 2 it had an amazing jump in the graphics department and also GOW III looked amazing too.

But most of the photo's are photo mode or the main menus of the GT5 screen, but besides the fact the detail is there and it's astonishing.

I also pointed out that the screenshots do not match the live footage that has been shown of GT5 so far. The non-prologue GT5. The one these shots are from.

Those are in game "REPLAY" shots. Not actual game play while you play (which look different). Don't get me wrong, the shots are sexy as hell (as were the replay shots in GT5p), but unfortunately those are not what you see while you are actually driving. That is the usual Polyphony PR/Marketing department doing what they do best.

Here is how the marketing works fellas:

Marketing:

Actual Gameplay:

Actual Gameplay:

And what marketing won't show you is the jaggies when running in game, full rez at the pseudo 1080p:

We can still be sure though that the in-game graphics will still be superb.

Yes we can. They look great, even the in game ones are really good.

lol well yeah cause we can't drive in these type of camera view's to see the detail, if we could get the chase cam like in GTA 4 we could probably see the same detail or almost.

No, we wouldn't get the same detail. Replay mode and photomode ups the all the details. Forza 3 does that as well. It's a well known gimmick for sales. But in the end people don't care if actual ingame doesn't match the replay/photomode because they enjoy the game so much...AND enjoy the replay/photomode so much.

True, also those are old Prologue shots from 08 so hopefully the AA has been worked on to reduce Jagged edges.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
