GamePro: Gran Turismo PSP Impressions

GamePro writes: "I played Gran Turismo on a PSP Go, and the bright widescreen display showed off the game's visual prowess. Running at a sleek 60 frames per second -- the holy framerate for precision racers -- Gran Turismo cruises along like a guided missile. Visually, I'd place Gran Turismo on the PSP very close to Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2. It looks crisp and colorful, with bold racetrack backdrops and a cinematic look. It doesn't look as insane as GT5: Prologue on the PS3, but it's terrific all the same".

When I told the guys at GameStop the game was running at 60fps with 800 cars, all three jaws dropped, two of them did not believe me at first.

Edit: From the article.
"Gran Turismo has always been the leader in realistic racing simulation."

They need to stop hiring nubs at GS. Hire some real gamers, damn it.

The writer needs to learn the studio's name aswell :p It's "Polyphony", not "Polyphonal" haha.

Although it does look and sound awesome. I will be buying it for my PSP 2000

"It doesn't look as insane as GT5: Prologue on the PS3, but it's terrific all the same" <----- WOW. They are comparing a "little" portable game with a HD game, GT mobile surely is off the hook.

HOT!!!!

Damn looks on par with forza 3, probably a bit better.

[ambientFLIER]

Lol. That's so desperate. I don't think anyone will fall for it either.

[Jeromejones]

they have :D

[Kain81]

it would be Amazing

[UltimateIdiot911]

There will be, you can swap cars between the game. Basically, the plan is unlock many of the car on GT PSP and then use that to unlock the cars in GT5.

This is day 1. :)

It costs mucho bucks but it is a more premium PSP in every way, except in color choices. c'mon sony would kill you to have more than just black? same goes for ps3.

[somekindofmike]

With the current PSP line up, I may actually have to get one! This looks awesome!

[KilZoneGeneralStrife]

The psp hits 333mhz while the ps2 hits 297mhz. Both have 32mb ram (the psp 2000 upwards has 64mbram) ,but dang! 60 fps. .on a handheld. And GRAN TURISMO! PD,legends

[Sarcasm]

Not to mention they're trying to fit 30 tracks (with 70 including variations) plus 800 cars all in under 1gb.

Black Magic is what's making this work I tell's yah.

[Mindboggle]

Remember this...."Looks better than forza 3"

Give me a break

[Nikuma]

I think people were exaggerating/trying to be funny or just being fanboys trying to take a shot at forza. This PSP game looks amazing yes, but you'd have to be blind to think it looks better than forza. GT5 on the other hand...

[SpitFireAce85]

Also GT5 will wipe the floor with forza3.And only a fanboy would
disagree with that statement.800Cars on the PSP version 35 Tracks
for a handheld title its as impressive as it can get.Know imagine
GT5 which will have over 800 cars and maybe 50 tracks or so.
anything from La mans to rally.

I haven't bought a psp game since god of war, looks like I will be buying more....
