@Cognitive Friction: I've got Burnout: Legends (I think) for PSP and its pretty sweet, running other people off the road for fun is both helping me with my commute and keeping me from selling my PSP (until this of course)
@crespo: I think the PS3 is the main reason why we haven't heard about GT5 in so long. Seems like the bigger and more involved the game is, the more of a pain it's been for it to get made on the PS3. FFXIII is taking forever too, and MGS4 came out later than expected. By the time these games come out, no one's gonna give a rat's ass anymore.
It is sad that the iPhone has become synonymous with mobile gaming to the point that people have forgotten already that there are normal mobile game systems...
@Matt Hardigree: It wasn't too bad on GT4 from what I remember... it just handled like a pig since it was so much heavier than all the other cars in that game... and underpowered. Yeah. That too.

@Evil J: Dude it was fun as well taking it on the Grand Canyon dirt course! The only problem I had was the dang thing was so long it has hard to drift cause the rear bumper would catch on the netting on the outside of the corner.
NASCAR on Gran Tourismo 5, eh? Tell me, will I be able to drive a Hudson Hornet or Chrysler C300 on the old beach circuit at Daytona? Also, if I choose the Hudson, does it include a monkey mascot/navigator option? My inner Tim Flock wants to know... [www.timflock.com]
@Ben Wojdyla: seriously, been waiting for a long time for that.
I remember Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit on PS1 having damage modeling. It was pretty good as I remember it, and it certainly made you drive differently knowing that you couldn't actually use the guy ahead of you as a cushion for the next corner, and that should you not line up to go through a tunnel or bridge properly at 150mph+, you will not be finishing that race.
should be very interesting.
I do remember having some huge problems with GT4 after a certain point. Namely, finding out that the X button on the PS2 didn't provide the kind of 'granularity' in throttle control needed to properly drive a 700hp, rear wheel drive Ford GT.
@ThreeLitre: Totally agree. This will undoubtably change the game completely for me. I used to dominate on GT3 by just grabbing the Escudo and ramming everyone else off the track. The car never turned, but it ran like a cat that was being raped by its own burning tail in a straight line. So I would just dive straight into each corner, winning races to make money for more interesting cars. Because of that I was never really impressed by Gran Turismo...
Until I heard GT5 was going to have actual damage modeling, I was about to abandon the PS3 in favor of Forza.
I just received Rock Band for my birthday, and I'll be buying a steering wheel/pedals for this. My house is slowly filling up with plastic crap. Why yes, I am almost 30, why do you ask?
@SirNotAppearing: After you get used to the wheel and pedals, you will never want to go back. The only down side is that it's difficult to have the wheel and it not be noticeable when people come over.
/uses all of my good hiding spots for better stuff
@B1663R: I'm fully willing to give my house over to plastic once I have kids. In fact, I saved all my old legos for just such an event. It's just funny to me when my wife is trying to make our house look like a catalog picture and I am filling it up with toys.
@SirNotAppearing: Calling your girlfriends "plastic crap" will do little to get you laid.
In other news, I am starting to work on convincing my wife it's time I upgrade to a PS3. She want's a Wii, which is fun, too. So, I figure if she can get a Wii I can get a PS3.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this game means the return of POINT TO POINT RACING
WIN
Or at least, less racetrack-like courses. FM1 had Kaido Mountain and on forzamotorsport.net we whined and bitched and begged for a new Kaido Mountain circuit... particularly the drifting community.
You guys interested in buying this better preorder to get the preorder car.

It's because at the beginning of the video it says iPhone Applications and if people don't RTFA, they won't know.

A PS3 purchase may be on my horizon- ONLY for GT5. Perhaps I can get a used one at bargain basement prices.
