Keep an eye on our friends at TaxiGamer – they’ve got a copy of Gran Turismo 5 and proper HD video capture equipment, and have already shared the game’s intro and two race replays in glorious quality with a promise of even more to come. The original MP4 video files are also available to download, so you can load them up on your PlayStation 3 console to see what’s in store for you next Wednesday. Check out all of their GT5 content right here!

R8 Replay video looks amazing, love how the lights in the tunnel are reflected on the roof of the car
Just another 4 days…………Too bad I probably won’t have my PS3 by then, but at least I’ll hopefully have a copy of GT5 waiting in the wings………maybe even the Collector’s Edition! =)
God, now that I hear the intro properly: the song really sucks.
Unlike some other people, I’m not too bothered as it’s a minuscule part of the game ultimately. But wow, that guy’s voice if awful.
Jordan, you should help them out with their bandwidth problem and maybe host their videos or something :D
Can someone please post these videos to fileserve, rapidshare, hotfile or megaupload? I been trying to access that site for over 12 hours now to no avail. Someone a few comments up posted to megaupload but only the madrid one works.
Are there any alternative mirrors around while taxigamer is down? Thx.
Cant get in, site must be getting hammered.
Site down for me. Kind of glad as I’m trig to resist seeing too many spoiler videos. 3 more painful days of waiting to go!
I can’t get onto Taxigamer.com I think their server may have fried :(
I downloaded the gt5-003-la-sathe.mp4.
My conclusion for this moment:
GT5 will be GT4+ (O, alright GT4++).
My remarks:
:(La Sathe circuit is just in GT4 way to bumpy (unrealistic), so nothing changed here.
:(Sound of the LMP’s are .. the same as in GT4. So PD didn’t put any effort in replacing these placeholder engine sounds by their real one’s.
:)doppler-effect is awsome (as it already was since GT1;o)
:(No glowing brake disks any more? (lmp’s without glowing brake disks at the end of the lemans straith looks al little bit cheapish graphically).
I hope some (improved?) sound effects and the new physics.
Back in 2001 GT3 was magical experience for me. I don’t think it will happen this time. Why did PD focused on quantity instead on quality? Still I very glad that GT is back again.
To finish my sentence:
I hope some (improved?) sound effects and the new physics ~will impress me more.
I saw one glowing brake disk in the ‘GT5 Gameplay Circuit de la Sarthe DayNight Transition’ video thought so PD left it in the final build ;)
At 00:07 in the gt5-003-la-sathe.mp4 you can see that (some of the) LMP’s are no premium cars, but a straith port from GT4 (low (4k)polygons/same sound).
HI there, are you well. I read that comment “Back in 2001 GT3 was magical experience for me. I don’t think it will happen this time.” and I think the same thing is going to happen to me too.
It felt as though GT3 was a totally new experience and to be honest, the reason that I reckon the feeling will not be the same has to be the useless comments people have made which in itself is not a bad thing but, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Otherwise, keep well and Peace OUt.
@dearlybeloved: Thanks, I’m fine. I have no bad tast in mouth any more. I agree with you that my remark about the ‘magical’ stuff is a bit subjective/useless. I guess I was a little bit disappointed about the quality of those non-premium lmp cars I saw in this video (the pescarolo still has the gt4 advertisment on it, which is of cource historically accurate;). In the longrun all these comments will be like water under the bridge (not only the silly ones). For me, GT is the only game that matters. Being critically in a objective manner maybe can contribute to an even better GT6.
Arrrrgh!!!

WOW this site is taking REALLY long to load =P
Jordan just killed their site :D
My how the graphics and computing power have changed. Remember every game prior(GT-GT4) had pre-rendered intros. I remember thinking to myself “WOW one day the gameplay will look this good!” I am not say that this isn’t pre-rendered but it is taken straight from replay footage or what not. And that was just about 13 years ago. My how far we have come. I was 15 then…thanks Kaz for making a childhood dream come true. I can’t wait to put My Favorite Game by the Cardigans in a playlist just for hold time sake, maybe even Sex Type Thing or Dragula. F*&k it i am putting GT2 in my PS3 60 gig right now just to compare. Happy motoring gentlemen!!!
The Sarthe replay looks … frankly, pretty bad. The Madrid replay looks … pretty.
and does it bug you that the wings on the cars in Sarth are F-ing sprites? So far it’s the only graphical thing to bug me, but it’s a HUGE one.
I also think Sarthe with time change looks pretty bad until it gets completely dark. This is true for Nurburgring.
I still dont have the game but from the looks of it the variations without time change look much better than the ones with it.
WHAT?!?!
VOLT?!?!?
I cant acces to it… why?????
it takes some time haha it´s collapsed
Wow, love the intro!
Persistence is key to getting on the site. Both track movies saved, off to my PS3!
I have just watched gt5-005-nurb.mp4 at 720p and I must say I got a little disappointed…
Isn’t the shadow of the car a little strange at the end of the movie? it seemed horrible to me! even during at gameplay, shadows at the dashboard are looking really bad… also the anti-aliasing of the car at the replay is worst than I expected. But physics really look amazing, the car balance looks perfect.
I am REALLY anxious to get my copy of GT5, it’s pre-ordered, I bought a Fanatec GT3 V2 wheel almost exclusively to play it. I’m downloading the other videos, let me see if they are better than this one, becouse I got a little scared… Am I the only one with this feeling?? =(
Regards!
