Gran Turismo 5: Screens of exotics look crazy good photo

Damn. How great do these screens of Ferrari and Lamborghini cars look? Eye-searingly good, I'd say.

I'm not sure why there's a focus on exotics in the screens released from Sony of Gran Turismo 5. Other car games focus on that sports car that is just out of reach for most, toying with that feeling that you could at least drive your dream car in a game. A Ferrari? You're never getting one of those. And they're in all car games anyway - big deal.

But these screens look fantastic. Honestly, these screens look better than any time I've seen Gran Turismo 5 in person.  I'm not trying to call anyone out, though. I'm just saying that I hope the final game looks this good.

I've never been into realistic racing games, but I've got to hand it to games like Gran Turismo and Forza -- Graphically, they look better than anything else I've ever seen.

In Gran turismo 4 I could drive a 1988 Volvo 240 wagon like I once owned. That made me giddy

Looks beautiful, as was expected by Polyphony.

These look reaally nice, though I call photo mode on all of them and subtle touch ups on a few (the depth-of-field looks "confused" otherwise in one of them).

I can't wait for this game. That is to say, I have to wait and I will, wallet in hand. I was pleased to hear that the damage model was still a work-in-progress. When pre-TGS they said "we could release at any time, the game's essentially done" and then the videos of TGS damage came out....ouch, that looked really embarrassing for Polyphony. Their PR people need to keep their mouths shut and keep releasing screen-shots like these.

@Onlineatron:

Yes, you are a raging fanboy, and anyone who has played the Forza 3 demo knows the game looks better than those shots. Also, the pics were taken at different speeds, which increased the apparent background texture detail on Forza 2, and washed it out in Forza 3. More notably, they bothered to take shots from different parts of tracks which are in both games, and the origin/age of the shots themselves is in question.

Debunked and needless.

The only reason I bought GT: Prologue was for the eye candy car sex but those shots look amazing, I don't want to buy another racing game, I really don't...lol

Ok, ok, I like the racing in GT but I can only stand it for so long.

Goddamn they've drawn some sexy cars... but I still think the environments look flat and uninspired.

I think that if anything these are screens of replays, which have always looked a little better than during gameplay, but still...damn.
