As you may or may not be aware, the Gran Turismo HD demo for the PlayStation 3 was just made available by free download from the PlayStation Network! This new demo is a Gran Turismo 5 "preview" of sorts, to give a hint at what the Polyphony Digital team is capable of on the new gaming system. It includes one new track, the "Eiger Nordwand", and 10 cars including the '96 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR, '94 Nissan SKYLINE GT-R Vspec II, and '06 Ferrari 599. As your times get progressively faster, the faster cars become available, "Drift Mode" is unlocked, and the Eiger can be run in reverse. Fastest times are posted to online Leaderboards, and you can download these hot laps and check them out for yourself. If you have a PS3, start your download now and join the other lucky GTPlanet members in the Gran Turismo HD forum - if not, we have plenty of high definition footage and screenshots to hold you over.

i hate playing GT4, it is so boring ,it feels too slow, arcade racers like test drive are more fun

I thought GT HD was not coming out?
So.. how is it now? Coming out or not?

special_R · Dec 25, 2006, 1:34 PM

^^^ That's what I was thinking too...I thought they Cancelled it!

360Spider · Dec 25, 2006, 11:09 PM

I downloaded it already. It's so tight! The graphics are picture perfect. Just like a real photo.

They're making both. HD is for the PS3 I think and GT5 is for PS2. I'm probably wrong though but from what i've heard thats whats happaning.

SKR34 · Dec 26, 2006, 12:28 PM

Isn't Vision GT already out?

Powered by Diesel · Dec 26, 2006, 3:27 PM

Isn't HD actually Vision GT?

SKR34 · Dec 26, 2006, 9:41 PM

I don't think so. Because Vision GT was planned way before GTHD was.

wesleypipes · Dec 26, 2006, 9:47 PM

look.

GTHD is a demo. that's all. it was never going to be a full game. i don't know why anyone thought it ever was.

vision gt was the name before gthd. they're the same thing.

now , GT5 will be the next & GTHD is just a few tracks and cars available as a downloadable demo.

SKR34 · Dec 26, 2006, 11:30 PM

Ok, I saw a Vision GT on Bestbuy.com. If I buy it, would I be buying Vision GT or GTHD or both?

wesleypipes · Dec 27, 2006, 4:17 AM

it would be one game.

or demo actually.

all that happened is the name changed.
you can still find copies with the old name such as the one you found.
