Polyphony Digital’s Citroen GT Floats Around Venice
Remember the Photomode location in Gran Turismo 4, which let you place your car on a boat in front of the famous Rialto Bridge in Venice? Citroen managed to re-create this scene from the game in the real world earlier this week, with the radical Citroen GT concept car designed by Polyphony Digital.
In town for the annual Carnival of Venice, the car floated throughout the city, its modern lines sharply contrasting with the Renaissance architecture. Hopefully, this Venetian location will be back for GT5, and we’ll be able to take our own shots of the GT on the Grand Canal…one day!

It’s funny how the more news we get, the more everyone screams “WE WANT GT5!!!”. So even if skidmarks, 3d trees, or F1 get confirmed for GT5, it won’t matter, because even then, people will still be screaming “WE DON”T CARE, GIVE US GT5!!!!.

I know I’m off topic but I just found a new screen shot of GT5. I don’t know how to create a thread ( I don’t know how ) and I don’t know how to make a link with my ps3. Check out playstationuniversity.com and you’ll see a comparison between GT5P and the “latest” build of GT5. The track is fuji and you’ll see the textures in the grass have been improved dramatically. I’m really sorry for posting this here.

Beautiful photo shoot indeed… But I’m just waiting for the KY interview, when someone asks him about another delay. I think those words (even few words) will be the interesting ones… IMO, Diego de la Vega himself can talk about GT5 launch delay because he works at sony Portugal, but KY’s version will be the ultimate one.

Ya know. All this extra crap is just fine, but come on. With the amount of delays GT5 has had, do they really need all this extra promotional crap. GT Academy, Specialized demos at shows, This article, etc, etc, etc. How much money are they blowing on all this crap? Could it not be used to further enhance GT5 or maybe even get it completed already? I’m a very big fan of the GT series, but this is just getting very old.

I’m sure this post is going to produce the usual idiotic responses but I’d like to make a point to counter Dimitris argument regarding promotion of the Gran Turismo brand in general.
We had my cousin’s kids round last weekend for a wii session and as I couldn’t get my hands on any of the wiimotes I resigned myself to playing GTPSP while they played volleyball and other such nonsense. After a while they noticed what I was doing and came over for a look see.
“What game are you playing?” one of them asks
“Gran Turismo”
“Never heard of it” came the response
If PD and Sony fail to continue to promote the brand, there is a very real risk that the next generation will know nothing better than mario kart (heaven forbid) if they even play racing games at all!
So give them a break and if you need something to keep you busy while you wait, I heartily recommend playing GTPSP pokemon style and relishing the though of how full your garage will be on the day that GT5 finally comes out.
On a final note, enough of the GT5 vapourware posts please. If you really believe it you need your head seeing to, if you’re just trolling at least find something worth trolling about… -

hahaha, a car that doesn’t exist in a game that doesn’t exist… I see a lot of comments from people that have wishes for the GT5 game. I definitely hope Tamagochi doesn’t read this kind of comments. Otherwise we get a release date for 2015……..

Another reason for the Monaco circuit to be in the game, so you can park your car outside the doors of the Casino and then take photos of it like thousands of people do everyday in Monte Carlo!

GT5 is a joke, but Venice is a fantastic city. I went there in october and I’m constantly thinking about it since. Screw Canada I want to live in Italy…
