Why am I giving so much front page love to Gran Turismo? Well, let's face it, besides this and Resistance, the PlayStation 3 ain't got much else to brag about right now. Plus, we can't have Destructoid becoming a Nintendo fanboy site, can we? So, to mix it up a bit, here's some more Gran Turismo HD footage that most of us can only view through outlets like this -- since we don't have the bank or means to get a PS3 right now.

Looks good? Yeah. Will Europeans eat it up like candy? You betcha. Now if only we could get them some PS3s so they can play the damn game. 

In the video above, you'll see some Drift Challenge gameplay and in the one below you can see how them tight curves work.

It looks good, but I couldn't help but notice that you can't shoot red shells.

At least the necks look 50% shorter than those on Virtua Tennis.

And on a side-note, that NEXTLUST logo is seriously cool.

I sure hope so. I just hope it's not one of those whole "Engadget is to Joysuq" or "Gizmodo is to Kotaku" kinda things, I know you guys will make it special.

Yes, I'm going to shoot my special sauce all over it. Don't worry.

Whoever was playing the game should not be allowed to touch a car ever again. Horrendous driving. And I notice the trees dont cast any shadow on the cars.

Few questions after seeing this.
1. Whats up with the retard driver? He can't corner or use the gears.
2.Aren't there other tracks in that demo?
3.Where the other cars? wanna see how the game looks with contenders in the game.

I like how the replay shots look but the rear or the bumper camera or just like any other racing game, looks better but nothing impressive.

Drifting with Anti-spin active... pure genius.

Summa is that you driving? Well, I'm not lending you the car tonight, that's for sure. :)

Other then the mario-kart driver it looks pretty nice but sadly, sounds just like the other Gran Turismo, like an electric-toy-car.

That looks really good. The GT team always seems to make their graphics look the best.

I'm a little upset that the sticks-and-paper barrier somehow stop the car though.

Looks pretty, but looks boring as shite.

Rezbit: You can't say that!!! You might piss Summa off! PS3 is the future! HD graphics and boring gameplay is the price you pay for the true next gen experience. Seriously though, it's pretty sad when you have any positive news items about the Wii or Nintendo in general and you get anti-Nintendo reactionaries like Robert Summa screaming "Fanboy!! Fanboy!!". I often wonder how the hell he got a free Wii, only to trash it daily while there are plenty of people out there who would actually be grateful to receive something like that... Tell me something Robert; are you one of those fanboys(see what I did there??) that will leave console gaming behind if the Wii dominates the market this cycle??? (I know, it will never do that, seeing as it's Gamecube Turbo 1.5 with gimmicky waggle controls...)

That's not a very interesting track, and certainly doesn't show off the graphics all that well. Like the PS3 itself, "it has a lot of potential", but isn't really there.

For heaven's sake, PD, can't you do some good tire sounds? Listen to NASCAR Racing 2003 if you want to know what tires should sound like.

If only there was destructible environments...but still who would want to see a driver like that...

I've really lost interest in GT. So far, this game looks just like the past 4 Gran Turismo's in my collection, just with a new coat of paint.

And where is damage? and don't give me that bull about manufacturers not allowing it, after all it was done in Forza. I guess I've just grown tired of this series, especially after the promise of online with 4 and the vapor ware that is mobile.

after watching those videos and grabbing a few more "Adult" diapers I have decided to pay way too much for a ps3... My friend in some random alley told me he could get me one for only eight-thousand dollars... i know my connections are making you guys jealous

it looks flippin sweet. not $600 sweet. but sweet none the less

i'd like to see 1) destructable environments 2) people who react realistically to cars coming at em at 120 mph... they looked pretty static. perhaps i'm being too picky.

People meed to know about this game... First it was built with microtransactions in mind. Whadda hell is that? That the game will cost very little or even FREE but you have to BUY estra cars, extra tracks, probably parts to trick them, and whatnot... So It may be cool at first becasue you just buy a couple cars, but, instead of doing that damned track with the fukkin turn under one minute to unlock whatever, you will have to work in real life to get it.
