GT5 Video, Gameplay Impressions from PS BETA

Gran Turismo 5 Videos August 1st, 2010 by Jordan

The PlayStation BETA event I told you about was finally held this past weekend. GTPlanet reader Adam Lang was first on the scene, and has been kind enough to provide us with lots of videos and screenshots from the GT5 demo on display. Most notably, you’ll see a much-abused Enzo Ferrari show heavy damage to its front bumper, along with an Audi R8 and the MOTUL R35 Skyline JGTC car. He’s also provided a lot of (literal) screenshots of the demo, so you can get a higher-resolution look at gameplay.

In addition to Adam’s material, I’ve also included other clips below and will continue to keep this post updated as more come in. For more detailed analysis of what the game was actually like, read first-hand impressions from the latest posts here in our forums. Thanks, once again, to Adam and everyone else who is sharing all this media!

    Ummm, how come nobody uses a familiar cars and tracks? Its just a beta do you really want to explore it and then have trouble getting around the circuit cleanly because your not sure what direction it goes nor where the braking points are?

    I think I’ll skip these videos in the future. Bad driving and Cockpit views

    4th video: Someone’s been playing too much DiRT 2… haha.

    IMO, the visual damage is decent. All I’m really concerned about is the mechanicle damage, and if it acts proper or not (not that I would know anyway :P). I honestly wish they’d improve the engine sounds further, but I guess we can’t always get what WE want. I don’t care how this game turns out, I’m going to GameStop (hopefully today), canceling my normal copy of GT5, and pre-ordering the Collector’s Edition. Because I know this game will KICK BUTT.

    in the last video… wasnt there an old corvettes cockpit? cuz that corvette is in the standard list, and this could mean that standard cars do have a cockpit :D

      I’m almost certain the Corvette is a Premium… Where did you see it would be Standard?

      Oh, I just noticed the “old” in front of “Corvette” :P I’m not sure about that one…

      I watches the video twice, and I didn’t see any Corvette. Are you talking about the vid with the GTbyCITROËN?

    Im just waiting for Kaz to announce grid girls. That would make my day.

    On a less serious note – is there any details on the 4 icons at the bottom left – fuel, oil etc, or is that too obvious to talk about?

    Why are there 300 odd comments about a build that is little different than E3?

    Nothing new will be shown until GamesCon, that goes for cars, tracks and features.

    Furthermore why do some people expect every aspect of a game to be shown in a short demo?

    I had high hopes for this game but I’m not sure I want to buy it anymore.

    Tons of cars, great graphics, but that’s pretty much it.

    All the bitching is useless. If you want better looking trees, no problem….just dont bitch when they take the grid down to 12 cars. Want more then 16 cars on the track?…..then dont bitch if they dumb the extremly great looking graphics. We cant have it all. not on the ps3. I busted out gt5p last night and its great. looks amazing but with a few jagged lines, the feel is there and nothing comparse to gt5p on the market right now. I finally got a chance to play FM3, and i have to say i wasnt impressed at all. the graphics are IMO no where near gt5p and that is just the demo. Unless gt5 come out looking worse then gt5p we really have nothing to worry about.

      I guess you are only talking about PS3 titles. Lots of great Sims for PC.. :P

      I am talking about consoles. It was pc sims that really moved me to build a cockpit . Loved gtr and live for speed. But there is somting about being able to use everyday cars that is very fun for me.

    Those flapping doors have got to go.

      Those flapping doors means that the car is alive… They are like arms, flapping around happily.

    i’m not sure about this and i don’t think it’s important but in the video with the citroen gt. ins’t that car suppose to have an automatic gearbox? i can’t know for sure because i currently don’t my gt5p with me :)

    • August 3rd, 2010 at 5:56 pm - #
      alienwire

      aparently i’m right. i mean no big deal but in gt5p the citroen gt has a full automatic gearbox, you can’t change it to manual but in the video with this one the gearbox is manual. that’s a bit odd but it’s not important. but in an overal the game is looking good!!

      Yep noticed the same thing. In GT5P it had a constantly variable transmission.

    Hey I dont know if its been discussed yet here .. but its looks like you can move the cammera around without EYE. This is great because it was something lacking from the previous title, and really did make it hard to race clean when you couldnt see who was beside you when racing. I would honestly sell my girlfriend to get this game even a day earlier than nov.

      She was just purchased for .99 cents and arrangements have been made to deliver the game Nov.1

      You can do that even in GT5P by using a steering wheel or by configuring the buttons of your controller in “Options” ;)

      @Vulcao
      Wow I feel like a noob. Im going home now to check that out! Also a big thanks to human trafficer! Im assuming by your name that you know the best way to ship people against their will? Ill wait for your instructions.

    Did anyone else notice that the crowds are in a wider color range of shirts? There were only like, four different colors in GT5:P.
    Just sayin’.

    • August 3rd, 2010 at 5:33 pm - #
      brunol

      Of course not! This is completely unnecessary. I don’t want to sound annoying but if you are looking to a “wider color range of shirts” there are other games more suitable to your taste.
      How come you know how many colors were in GT5P?

    • August 4th, 2010 at 2:17 am - #
      Spaghettimonster

      Its not about the color range. In large crowds they only had like four animations in the whole crowd. Much more interesting are the photographers and zombie spectators in Eiger. ;)

      @brunol
      Dude, it was just something I noticed. I never said it would or wouldn’t make the game :P
      @Spaghettimonster
      That’s true :)

      I’m a very meticulous person, I can’t help noticing things like that. Haha.
