Sony did not think we could use a review code of Gran Turismo 5 but thankfully, DJmizuhara is always there to get us some exclusive high quality footage. In the seven videos below, you will be able to see the two types of cars that are available in the game, namely the standard and premium models. Weather effects are also included in today's menu and you will also recognize some of the most famous tracks of the franchise. I also took the liberty of adding a few images from photo mode our French members have taken over the past few days. Enjoy!

Apparently a patch for online is fast on its way.. so thats good news
Some of the tracks could have seriously used a graphical upgrade as well. Beyond that, the gameplay is fantastic and the premium cars look amazing if you can get past the horrendous shadows.
The lack of snow and wet shots are a bit dissapoing, show more of that.
Those environments are way low-poly though, and I'd swear one of those tracks was from GT1( the one with the lake at the bottom of the hill). Whoever was playing did a decent job of staying away from bumping the other cars..
Other than that though, it's awesome & loving every minute
Regardless, it's going to be a great game I have no doubt. I look forward to seeing the game released, finally.
I think they spent WAY too much time on making the cars look shiny, and neglected everything else.
Game would be better if it were PC exclusive
Quite mindboggling that PD didn't have the time(???) to fix this kind of inconsistencies.

those photomode shots rival most rendered images i've seen. premium cars look gorgeous, and as i thought, standard cars DONT look horrendous when in motion (i'd be happy to race alongside them), but still, probably best to avoid them where you can. when everything is right it looks beyond anything i've seen in gaming, racing game or otherwise.
looking forward to playing this over xmas. just got it for 20quid from PCworld. can't really complain at that price.
And photo mode shots are never close to what gameplay looks, whether it's GT, Forza or PGR.
can't wait get paid from work, great Sim racer to go with Midnight Club Los Angeles and Burnout Paradise collection
I hear it's better in 720p, tho.
The physics are much improved from GT4 thankfully, but they still aren't the best on the console market. Some tracks, with the right cars makes for some serious eye candy, but so far the game isn't anywhere close to the visual stunner I have been hoping for/waiting for.
I never worried b/c it was PD afterall, I never would have guessed that they would release a game that feels this rushed and half-baked. The scary part is that it's been delayed so many times. I'm honestly shocked at how inconsistent this game is.
More than anything I'm just really bummed the tracks don't look better. I thought they would deliver more than this.
Great game. Also unlike others I think standard cars are great with new physics. They could have easily sold GT4 HD with some track and online play for 40$ some years back but instead they added all those in a game. Many old classic games reamke of HD are sold and sells millions. They also could have done that.
No wonder they've been showing photomode so much the past few months, and very little gameplay. Any processor can render great 'photo mode' pictures. My phone could do it. It just might take a lot longer. How they missed the boat on visuals when the game has been in development for 5 freakin years, i don't understand. They've always made it a point in the past to excel in this department. The only thing I can think of, considering the dev time put into it, is that they overestimated the capabilities of the hardware. They probably fell for the Sony Hype Machine like everyone else, and projected a little too confidently.
I may actually skip out on this one.
looks 100% real. Awesome, i want it for my 360 :(
Secondly - @mrheadpants, I hear it plays and performs better in 720p. But methinks that's the 3D mode.
Personally I'd love to have this, a wheel and a PS3 with a massive telly. The physics look great. I'm just wondering if the performance issues would affect my enjoyment. When it looks great, it looks unbelievable, when it looks and performs bad, it's facepalm time. Peeps pishing folks complaining about the visuals across the net forget that for a long time this was sold on the strength of the visuals, and as a simulator beyond the driving solid visuals are a definite requirement for suspension (get it?) of disbelief.
