A few quick thoughts. Admittedly slow to the grid.

It think the driving engine / handling is the most important part of a driving game, but graphics are always a big part of new driving games.

1080p was important because a lot of people said the PS3 couldn't realistically do it. This proves it can, but if you aren't using proper hi-def textures etc you could argue it is a fairly pointless proof.

Not sure I follow your arguement on low-def/hi-def Smelly. If you introduce displays capable of displaying more pixels then things will obviously get less pixelated. Sounds like a man standing in the way of progress he can't afford yet ;-). Though extra pixels is only part of the solution. With the new displays comes extra clarity which means flaws are exposed that were previously hidden.

For the mighty lords sake - GT with better graphics, for what? The millionth time? Blast, cat shit and poop everywhere I hate these guys now.

I'll buy it IF I have a PS3 yes... but I dont respect them anymore. Same story everytime, they dont do anything different. I know its a racing game blah blah, but they could make the AI competition actually compete for a start.

How many versions of GT will there be before they include an AI that realises it's a racing game, and not some kind of linear bumper-car fest?

@T4RG4

LOL, thats a great post. Its like you opened your brain and all the thoughts just spilled out. I mean that in a good way. And +3 for use of an isolated use of the word "bobbins".

What "this version"? This tech demo? Why would they make a tech demo that is online?

maybe to test their online capabilities?

come to think about it during Sony's press conference didn't they ask people to beta test GTHD's online or something.

ps2 already ran gt4 at 1080i so this is pretty much the worst example they could have got.

Tired. Boring. Predictable. I played GT4 for two weeks straight, and there wasn't an ounce of racing involved. But then, I suppose that's why they call it a 'driving simulator'.

I already have a real car for driving. What I don't have is a racing license and people to race against. And GT provides a piss-poor simulation to that end. In low or high resolution.

@Smelly: Whoa. Now I have to be a GEEK in order to justify my enjoyment of better graphics.

So be it - it is not that high a price. ;-)

This won't be what they release, GT4 and Tourist Trophy will both be playable and upscaled into 720p by the PS3 anyway.

It would be an absolute rip-off to try and charge people for what they showed at E3 (just GT4 with bikes at a higher resolution)

Sure it may load quicker with HDD caching, but I'd sooner wait and save myself £50

Now... if they released a new GT game AND it had bikes in it too... multiplayer race, bike against car on the Nurburgring... that'd be of interest.

But wait, my crystal ball say's they'll not add anything new to future versions of GT. Perhaps seperate bike and car sims, but argh, I want to race both together.

If anyone from Polyphony is reading this - the AI in the game is crap, and has been since the first game was released. You are shit, try harder.

Hey, it's a true statement when alls said and done. And looking some of the more trollish comments in here... Xbox fanboys, oh yes.

Tengu is indeed right but hands up who has a TV capable of displaying 1080p ;)

Was I watching the same demo as the guys at EG? I mean suggesting that the spectators in the game were in any way lifelike is laughable. They behave with only weak AI, which ends up making them less believable than if they simply had them standing still and cheering as the cars go past. Also the fact that they seem to randomly freeze mid animation and then stay frozen doesn't help. The spectators were infact so bad that I was unable to take my eyes off them whenever they were on screen.

So this is the real next-gen... .

And it's cheap also, all we have to buy is a PS3 wich will cost about 650Eur, and a 1080p capable TV that costs 2500Eur. plus tha game that'll cost 80Eur, 3230Eur - a real bargain!, too bad I have this nasty habit of having to eat every day... .
