Las tres lecciones básicas de un juego de carreras: 1. Los coches de carreras molan. 2. Los juegos de conducción deben ofrecer daños en el coche. 3. Sin sensación de velocidad el juego no tiene sentido. Compártelo

Direttamente dal PlayStation Day di Londra, Sony e Nissan hanno annunciato un’iniziativa tanto particolare quanto inedita legata a Gran Turismo 5 Prologue: GT Academy, una competizione della durata di ben otto mesi che trasformerà due piloti virtuali in piloti reali e li farà poi gareggiare in una 24 ore a Dubai. I due vincitori di questa [...]

It’s been a brilliant few months for the UK store GAME, with the launches of GT5 Prologue, Mario Kart Wii, and especially Wii Fit and Grand Theft Auto IV all going down a storm for a record-breaking April. Those enormous titles aren’t the only games looking likely to do huge numbers. Here’s some more top [...]

Gran Turismo has become more popular than many people would have thought it would become, as it is now more than just a racing game. When the first Gran Turismo game was being made game developer Polyphony Digital had to approach many car manufactures so that they could include their vehicles on the game. How [...]

The 62nd Tour de Romandie started today. Romandie (Romandy) is the French region of Switzerland so the entire Tour is near me. Eric, Katy and I went to watch the prologue on the lake front of downtown Geneva.

Yesterday, I received my copy of GT5: Prologue and I can easily say; "I hadn't had white knuckles like I did playing this game, in a long time". When the game first started great graphics were expected, but such photo realism (even though I had seen the videos online), it blew my mind. But a game can't rely on graphics alone, so let's get to the review. But before that, I would like to make clear that I have full knowledge of this game being not the real deal but an indication of what's to come later, so there will be no complaining on how this one has 70 cars where GT4 had 400 or how little amount of tracks there are.Those who played the Gran Turismo series' earlier titles would know, when the game starts players are given a certain amount of credit (35000 cr in this title) to purchase a

When I went to buy Gran Turismo 5 Prologue from my local games store I knew that it will not have as many features as the so called “Full Game” that is due in 2009, but as I was paying for this game I would never class it as a demo of GT5. Now you [...]

To follow our big hit:Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Flaws its time to mention the good and positive parts of this big, and expensive demo: 1. The best in dash game play in any racing game yet. 2.

Most of us PS3 owners got our hands on the GT 5 Prologue and I’m just typing away some flaws I noticed in the game which I hope in GT 5 they will work it out. Flaw #1: Hitting the wall or opponents in every game happens periodically, and in GT 5 it reminds me of [...]

The latest release of Gran Turismo is missing quite a bit under the hood. Instead of waiting to unveil a full version of the hit racing series for PlayStation 3, developers roll out the scaled-back Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. The options are slim, but the experience is powerful. Prologue is the appetizer for the eventual release of Gran Turismo 5. Players can choose from more than 60 cars. Its predecessor, Gran Turismo 4, has a garage of 700 vehicles. After purchasing your first vehicle, you advance to circuit racing. Each tier involves 10 races you must conquer before moving to the next circuit. The events are spread across six tracks, including Daytona International Speedway. Depending on how you finish, you’ll earn points for each race, which you can use to purchase new vehicles. Unf

The PlayStation 3-exclusive Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is available at either retail stores or available for purchase and a 1.87GB download at the PlayStation Store for a price of $39.99 / £24.99 / €39.99.

The Blue Ray disc version however will give gamers some extra incentives including a behind-the-scenes High Definition video feature called "Beyond the Apex".

Grazie ad un’intervista rilasciata a Multiplayer.it dal guru di Polyhony Digital Kazunori Yamauchi (con alcune domande scritte da me medesimo), sono trapelati nuovi dettagli su Gran Turismo 5, Gran Turismo Mobile e i futuri aggiornamenti di Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Riassumiamo schematicamente le informazioni più interessanti, rimandandovi alla visione del video che segue dopo la pausa [...]

1er Entrevista a Kazunori Yamauchi 1ª - daños en GT5 2ª - Porcentaje que supone Prologue con respecto a GT 3ª - ¿Habrá más Ferraris en la version final? 4ª - Pregunta freak del dia El rugido de la bestia

Hoy hemos podido disfrutar junto con el gran Kanuzori Yamauchi de la presentación en Madrid de una nueva entrega del simulador de conducción más importante de la historia, rodeados de increibles bólidos que hacían que todos se parasen para hacerles una foto.Antes de conocer las impresiones de Yamauchi pudímos ver una intro en el que nos mostraba en pocos minutos que vehículos nos ibamos a encontrar y en que circuitos podremos disfrutarlos, por supuesto a gran volumen para que fuese el doble de espectacular. Cuando acabó el vídeo, el señor Yamauchi empezó comentando que Madrid para él era una ciudad que le tiene un especial cariño porque estuvo en la presentación de Gran Turismo 4 y que le llama mucho la atención que durante el trayecto del aeropuerto al hotel vió muchos coc

Carrying on with our hands-on review of the Sony PS3’s Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, its now had a couple of weeks of gameplay and while I love the game and think it’s worth the half normal game price…it has it’s downfalls. The main reason I wanted to play GT5 was for the online racing with friends [...]

GT5 Prologue Inserito originariamente da Abriael Before the release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue I wasn't planning to buy it. Why? Because I never liked the idea of the "prologue", that many consider little more than a glorified demo. Then, when I saw it on the shelf of my favourite shop i couldn't really resist, and i got it. So, was it really a glorified demo?It sure has less content than the usual driving game, but there's something that places it aside from the idea of a demo: the content that we have makes for what's probably the most immersive driving experience on an electronic platform (PC or Console) since the old dear times of the Nascar Racing series from Papyrus. The ones that followed this blog since it's inception probably know how much i loved other driving games like

Segundo Kazunori Yamauchi, diretor de Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, o novo título será o primeiro da série a ter um sistema de danos para os carros.Falando ao site Computer and Videogames, Yamauchi disse que o sistema estará disponível numa "grande atualização" futura. No mesmo pacote, haverá também ferramentas de gerenciamento de comunidades.Há algum tempo, o diretor havia comentado que incluir tais elementos em Prologue dariam muito trabalho para a equipe de desenvolvimento, e as montadoras de carros não queriam ver suas criações danificadas em um jogo.O lançamento de Gran Turismo 5 Prologue nos EUA está marcado para 17 de abril.

By Philip Dunkley Gavin and I were recently chatting over a few beers, and the conversation came up about GT5: Prologue.

He also mentioned something about the direction of the F1 franchise on the [...]

After 10 long years of disapproval, presumably by sexy automobile makers, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will finally implement crash damage as early as Fall, says lead designer Kazunori Yamauchi.The revelation came by way of an IGN interview published on Thursday, in which Yamauchi said the feature could be included as a downloadable update to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. "Maybe by Fall we'll be able to implement it," he said.Despite its detailed graphics and focus on realism, the Gran Turismo series has been widely criticized by fans since its launch in 1998 for its lack of real-time (or anytime) car damage, something car manufacturers themselves have been blamed for.Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, which retails for $39.99 as a sample to the full game to be released later, arrives on PlayStation 3 on Apri

Chaucer has given a very true and realistic picture of the ecclesiastical characters of his age. He satirizes the corrupt and worldly minded clergies and on the other hand he appreciates the good characters and presents a model picture of him. The power exerted by a religion is incomparable in its intensity. Though it is a theory yet it is more forcible than any other passion or creed. Its power shapes and affects the life of the people. Every religion aims at reformation and betterment. It affects the whole structure of the society. It promotes a healthy philosophy and moral code. Hence, the importance of religion is distinguished and renowned. Though in Chaucer’s age, religion had a control over the minds and soul of the people, yet regrettably, its influence was corrupt. The mo

As you may have heard, we've shipped Hyper-V RC0.  Sorry for the lack of posts - it seems like I'm always on vacation when we ship a major release like this, so my posts lag a few days behind. Installing Hyper-V isn't exactly a difficult task, but if you have to do it on multiple machines, installing Windows, installing Hyper-V and then applying the RC0 patch can be a bit time consuming.   The purpose of this series of posts is to offer a few different ways to help you speed up your Hyper-V deployments. Here are the major topics I'm planning to post about: Sysprep and Hyper-V Unattended Installation of Windows and Hyper-V RC0 Integrated Installation - The Beauty of the Win6 servicing stack If you've got any other suggestions for topics, please let me know.

Doing things in high definition takes longer. We all know that. The average car in Gran Turismo 4 was made up of over 4,000 polygons. The figure for GT5 Prologue is meant to be higher than 200,000. Being pretty goes a long way, but with 71 cars and just six tracks (High Speed Ring, Daytona, Fuji Speedway, Eiger Nordwand from Gran Turismo HD Concept, Suzuka Circuit and a section of central London), it will have to go a very long way, right? That's not a lot of content, even when you factor in a second variation of each track. GT4 had 721 cars. GT5 Prologue launches in Europe with 71. We may be 11 million polygons ahead, but we're 650 cars behind.Fortunately, Prologue does a lot with the means at its disposal. 30 race events are split evenly across three classes. Initially you're hauling che

The Prologue introduction earlier this week provided us with a lot of feed back. Based on that feed back we’ve made a few changes: The front page now shows a stream of recent updates instead of one update per user Pages now have their own template and look much better Avatars are only shown once for sequential [...]

We’re fans of Twitter around here, in fact many Automatticians have accounts, but while the format appealed to us it really just whetted our appetite for something more, like a way for each of us to share short messages about what we’re doing or working on internally, or private messages between groups of folks. So last [...]

The release of the original Gran Turismo game for the first Playstation made great waves all over the gaming community. For so long, the PC has been the domain for most of these racing simulations with console gamers having little or no option for their racing needs. Some games like Motor Toon Grand Prix were exciting but just wasn't promising enough for fans of racing games.After Gran Turismo was launched in 1997 in Japan, and in 1998 in both US and Europe, the game was a seller. It has certainly went beyond anything racing games had been before and because it has been made available for console gaming, it is something new altogether. And not forgetting to mention that you can tune your car to your own specifications, but there's always something for ordinary racing fans as there is also

A bootlegged recording of "The Dark Knight" IMAX prologue, which is showing in theaters before "I Am Legend," is now on YouTube. My review of the prologue is here.Jeffrey Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere makes these comparisons:It was clearly shot with impressions of the legendary bank-heist sequence from Michael Mann's "Heat" in mind.I love how Willliam Fichtner's reading of the line "do you have any idea who you're stealing from?" (which refers to the fact that the bank has lots of mafia money in its vaults) is very similar to Warren Beatty's yelling during the "bark like a dog" sequence in "Bugsy".JoBlo has also picked this up and noticed the inspiration from "Heat". This is also on /Film and AICN. 4:59 p.m. update: Another WhySoSerious.com poster has emerged. These are from RopeofSilicon.com. They have also been picked up on Film School Rejects and /Film.The second WhySoSerious.com poster above I already posted on Dec. 14. I'm posting it again bec

Gran Turismo es probablemente la franquicia más exitosa de simuladores de auto y con la llegada del Playstation3 el año pasado, todos esperábamos poder jugarlo en alta definición.Sacaron una breve demostración llamada Gran Turismo HD que se podía descargar gratuitamente, pero se notaba que no le sacaba el máximo provecho a la máquina. Sabían que una versión completamente nueva de Gran Turismo todavía estaba lejos, así que decidieron anunciar el lanzamiento de un adelanto, un prólogo, para amainar la espera: Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.El juego viene con 37 vehículos, 5 pistas con 10 recorridos, soporta 1080p a 60fps, Dolby Digital Interactive Encoding 5.1 y entre los extras más interesantes incluye Gran Turismo TV, con episodios del programa Top Gear de la BBC. En Japón se puede descargar por ¥4,500 (US$40, CLP $20.000) o se puede comprar en Blu-ray por ¥4,980 (US$45, CLP $22.500). Esperemos que a estos lados del mundo llegue pronto y al menos a ese precio.Curiosamente, s

I went to screen "I Am Legend" on Wednesday to experience "The Dark Knight".That statement doesn't speak grimly about my feelings for Will Smith. I was looking forward to learning his legend and I'm glad I did. The night at Chicago's Navy Pier IMAX, though, went to its first six minutes with the Joker as the star.A production still from "The Dark Knight" prologue.Photo credit: Warner Bros.Before I skipped the capacity crowd awaiting entrance into the theater, I stopped to listen to people's pre-conceived motivations for spending a chilly Wednesday evening at the movies.People weren't there because it was free. More important, many people weren't talking about "I Am Legend". The buzz king went to Nolan & Co. A few people even went so far as to say they'd consume "The Dark Knight" prologue and skip out immediately thereafter.I spoke to the publicist running the screening moments before heading in. He was in a panic.He just got off the phone from New Yor

"I Am Legend" opens in theaters everywhere on Dec. 14. The first showing in Chicago will be at the Navy Pier IMAX screen (700 E. Grand Ave.) at 12:01 a.m. on Dec. 14. "The Dark Knight" is slated to open everywhere on July 18, 2008.A description of the prologue surfaced on Dec. 3. The prologue will be in IMAX 2D. Wednesday's formal announcement was made by Warner Bros. president of domestic distribution Dan Fellman.The following information was sent to me in a statement:The release of the opening six minutes of the movie marks the world premiere of the first footage ever shot with extremely high-resolution IMAX cameras for a major motion-picture release.In an unprecedented move, director Christopher Nolan employed IMAX cameras for a number of se

Moments ago, I received via e-mail from humanresources@whysoserious.com a new WhySoSerious.com message and code for “The Dark Knight” viral marketing.Heads up, clown! Tomorrow means that there's one last shifty step left in the interview process: ArwoeufgryoBy moving each letter one to the right on a QWERTY keyboard, the word “steprightup” is spelled.This led to a new WhySoSerious.com page at the URL www.whysoserious.com/steprightup with a countdown to 12 p.m. EST on Dec. 4 along with a stuffed monkey with an exposed stomach.If you set your system clock to noon on Tuesday (as was the answer to the /mausoleum riddle), the countdown changes to zero and nothing happens. In other news, Wizard revealed the first six minutes of “The Dark Knight” from a screening shown in New York City. Warning: Spoilers follow.Kicking off with a sweeping shot of downtown Gotham, the camera zooms in above a few buildings before focusing in on a single, traditional skyscraper covered in windows.S

Ghost Written Sci FiAuthor: C. O. IIIMajor Ghost Writer: Karen Cole PeraltaWord Count: 4,300PROLOGUEMany world cultures are based on a cycle of birth, destruction and rebirth. The symbol of the Ouroboros, a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail, has existed since the dawn of civilization. Yet no one is completely sure where it comes from. We only know that it signifies eternity. The ancient Mayan Sacred Calendar places Earth in a last cycle of life that will end near the winter solstice of 2012 AD. Many other civilizations and faiths maintain a belief in reincarnation, continuous birth and return. Only three world religions use the concept of linear time instead of cyclical time: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.What if we have all lived the same life, and done the same things countles

Devil God – the PrologueWritten by Claudia San LuisEdited by Karen Cole PeraltaWord Count: 2,000PROLOGUELike a giant claw, the night came down upon the light of the day. Its brilliance was met by a shrieking in the distance; a roar thundered through the clouds entering the Heavens. Lightning struck the earth, and at once steaming vapors rose up from the ground, as if a gigantic furnace had been opened. A shape made from shadows and smoke materialized, filling with dust and flames, then exploding…and there He stood, the gentlemen Darkness!The heavens filled with harmony at His coming. Songs rose as great winds whipped His cloak swiftly about him when He walked. A gathering of angels dressed in white linen robes spread their wings, clearing a path for Him as He approached. Without
