Did the PSP outline not give it away in the video?

Just amazing... It is unmistakeably PSP but at the same time unlike anything that has gone before on the handheld.

Instapurchase for certain.

Sony and Microsoft have produced stunning games so far from what I have seen with the gran turismo and Forza iterations for this generation. And the PSP version of Gran Turismo also looks stunning.

That video ran like hot shit off a shovel! Nice one EG! Also, the fact that this game can be installed to a pro duo is a great idea (but will the UMD need to be in the slot for verification purposes?).

I noticed very low resolution textures and dithering (like 16bit color depth).

Hmm,isn't that a replay video?
What is the point of using that?You can't play replays...
Show some real gameplay, fps counter included...please

You still need the UMD to launch the game after install - the data is just being read from memory stick.

Wow, already this comment thread is shaping up nicely to be take-two of the fanboy clusterfuck that was the DF Forza 3 thread...

If it doesn't have the 1998 Nissan Primera from GT2, I'm not really interested. Still, seeing 60fps internet video is great! =D

I'd be interested to learn more about the MS installation too. It could either require the UMD as you say, or perhaps give you some kind of Store entitlement that will lock it the PSP a bit like a regular downloadable game.

It truly looks amazing for a PSP game. Personally, I can hardly see myself playing a racing sim on a handheld, but those who have no issues with that concept seem to be in for a real treat.

Really looking forward to this baby, the mp3s from memory stick is a huge bone-arse as far as I'm concerned. Will need to get a hold of a bigger mem stick now though as 4GB just isn't cutting it anymore.

Soul Calibur PSP already does this - you need the UMD in. You don't get an executable 'game' icon on the XMB, it just leaves what looks like a mammoth save game on the stick.

Surely the point with GT PSP is if you want a version that runs without a UMD, simply buy it off PSN rather than from a shop? It'll have to be on PSN and there's been no indication that the download games for sale after the Go launches won't run on a 'standard' PSP.

You can get MS duo pros pretty cheap now.

Install is getting fairly common these days, isn't it? Monster Hunter, FF Dissidia and the latest Dynasty Warriors also do Memory Stick installation, off the top of my head.

From what I recall, MH is actually quicker at loading if you get the UMD version and install it, rather than buying the PSN version, as it reads off the UMD and memory stick simultaneously.

Looks decent enough, and that the game runs at a smooth 60 fps always is quite a good achievement...

Will the game run at 60FPS on a PSP 1000?

@outy: PSP1000 has the same hardware power. The 32MB RAM added in later models can only be used as UMD cache by licensed games.

Oh Donnie. First you complain that wipEout HD needs a HD TV to look it's best, and now you reckon a PSP game isn't up to a 360 game. Not paying attention today, are ya? Late night last night?

Read... think... comment. In that order, eh?

It's looking good, something else to push the surprisingly-capable-even-now PSP hardware. Was just playing a cheapy copy of GoW I picked up for my PSP, it's bloody impressive for a handheld! PSP deserves more like this.

Looks ok, dont have a psp at the moment.. so dont know if this is a good or bad standard for PSP. Will certainly consider a PSP Go once the price drops alittle.

Laugh at Donnie, sees a post with PS in it and hes there ready to slate it... haha muppet fanboys :)

Impressive, but still some textures are not that good. Why people design consoles with little to no memory...

Your first post was a joke... right.. yeah ok... :) - I would say most of your posts are jokes :D

I think i can safely say your a fanboy, the many many posts you have been posting, "I have a PS3... but its really crap and MS is the best..." blah blah... every single PS3/MS topic. If you want to be taken seriously on this site, stop sprouting the stuff you are usually posting. Its not difficult is it? That is all.

I think -106 as of (September 15) is a new record. Not that it will have any effect, mind...

Dunno if this a problem with the encode, but this vid doesn't work well with Quicktime X. Fine under VLC and Quicktime 7.

Ooooh, shit. Installable UMD version?? 60FPS??!! I may have to buy a 2nd hand PSP 2000 and a copy of this.

Shame the Go doesn't have an improved analogue/controls, or it'd have felt like an urgent purchase.

Right - the PSP2 should be able to offer 60FPS @ high res - 640-720 horizontal px, with as much detail as the PS2, and easily ported classic PS2 games.

Add better controls, touch screen, tilt camera and GPS - then you're onto a winner. Full PSN support over Wifi or Bluetooth/HSDPA would be icing on the cake.

Yummm, I'm going to bounce this off an Atlantic satellite, route it via the Azores onto my laptop using RealPlayer download, convert it to PSP format with the latest version of Vuze, copy it (via USB cable) to my PSP and watch it like I was playing the game.... almost too simple.

Well, looks like I might have to charge up my PSP (with custom FW) for this one. Worth a download anyway ;)

Only 4 cars racing though.. hmm

How on EARTH do you class this as a "tecnincal achievment"?? Sure it looks pretty in screenshots.. then you see it moving.. and the cars are floating on the track sliding around edges... piss poor.

It's easy as hell to get a game running at 60fps, if you dont worry about a proper collision model or any kind of anything approaching physics at all.

Awful.
