If it's one thing I love about GT4, it is the amount of detail. I mean, you don't have to like Gran Turismo, auto racing, or racing games. But just look at GT4. Big freakin' shoutout to Kazunori Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital. The cars look amazingly detailed and almost as if I'm watching Speed Channel or some incredibly-detailed DVD instead of playing a PS2 game. While it's a shame that you have to port GT4P to play it (and some other stuff), Prologue only gives you a small sampling of what to expect for GT4. I can remember when GT2 came out as a demo. I raced a Mustang on Rome Circuit, and the graphics were a huge step up from GT1. So I can imagine if GT4 came out at some electronics store as a demo.
Man, this really excites me. When GT comes out, let me tell you people something. If you have never gotten into auto racing or the Gran Turismo series, GT4 will give you a chance to get into what you've been missing out on. These pictures alone won't get you into it. But check out all the extra grunt and muscle PD is putting into making GT4 quite possibly, the best racing game EVER. Now sure, people will pay homage to Pole Position from the 80s, Sega Super GT from the arcades in the 1990s, but 2004, Gran Turismo 4 will most likely be the best racing game your money can buy. Others will try, but I think KY and PD want to make GT4 the very best. I'll be interested to see what GT5 will be like. Until then, we can only dream. dream... dream... dream... but wake up once GT4 will be in stores!
That's looking pretty amazing! There's quite a few pics there that are new to me. I particularly like the way many of the tracks appear to be out in the open, as some of the ones in GT3 felt a bit enclosed.
