Gran Turismo 5 Gets Its NASCAR On w/ Video (Motor Trend)

[backbreaker]

Motor Trend has posted a Gran Turismo 5 video, showcasing NASCAR.

"We've played advanced demo versions of the long-awaited Gran Turismo 5 and have come away impressed with its blend of realism and user-friendliness. While these demos have been limited in both circuits and vehicles considering the amount of each the final product is said to tout, we're ready to be impressed by the production-ready version of GT5 when it becomes available - hopefully later this year."

side note question.. who was it that picked up the NASCAR license? I can't seem to find it. I would love to see a full NASCAR game released from these guys!

They have not announced who picked it up. I have read twice now that a new game will be released for the console and pc this year......but they said it was a secret company. The only info they would reveal was that the company was not EA. This was during a preview of the GT5 Nascar stuff.....so it wasn't this game either.

We shall see

So very impressive.

The details are just astonishing. This game is going be like three in one.

I cant believe how detail the NASCAR portion is. And not just tacked on.

Amazing graphics.

I thought it was real Nascar Footage. Wow. I hope Danica Patrick is rendered with the same detail.

Hmm, I wonder:

If they're including NASCAR, what form will that take? In other words, will they have all the tracks that make up a typical NASCAR season so that the user could drive a season?

Or will it be just a few tracks that are one-off events?

well since it has been delayed about a gazillion times let's hope that doing a season mode is one of the reasons.

Pretty graphics, but what about the driving model and AI?

GT always has been like the ugly chick who dresses up well with makeup and clothes. Great looking, but when you strip her down and peel off the makeup, the game is sorely lacking when it comes to AI and the racing model.

And if this is a NASCAR game without damage, it will be a massive joke.
