Gran Turismo 5 Prologue line-up News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

6 March, 2008

Sony has finalised the list of flashy cars set to populate the garages in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

There will be 71 in total, ranging from a Mazda that must be rubbish up to a Ferrari something or other.

Europe is getting a spattering of additional features as well. There will be a Drift Mode, more in-depth car tuning, split-screen racing for you and a friend, plus online scheduled events to take part in.

On top of this GT5 Prologue will feature the first proper online support in the series for up to 16 of you, six tracks with two layouts each, access to Gran Turismo TV, better physics, better computer-controlled drivers and the much lauded 1080p shiny and realistic graphics.

Sony expects you will be suitably excited to pick it up later this month, either as a download or on Blu-ray disc with extras from a shop.

The full list of cars is below. Which is the best, Eurogamer reader?

Having lost nearly all interest in the PS3, i was getting ready to slag this, but that is an impressive list (bigger than some full games) and also being a 360/Forza2 fan, even for a glorified demo, that isn't to shabby! Even the amount of tracks compared to Forza 2's', or should I say lack of them doesn't even seem that bad.......

Hmmmm tempting, but is it really worth my 300 notes..........need more convincing, hurry up snake!!!!

"Thats what GT is about, Taking the small and cheap, tuning it up way beyond the competition, winning all the races after the first corner."

fixed

howevere this time online should make it all the more fun, assuming the collision model is done nicely and it isnt a PGR ram-fest.

good list, some personel favourites on there... could do with some more JDM down to earth cars (MR2, S2000, FTO etc) and I wish it had the VX220/Opel Speedster.

Still a good list and for £17.99 purchase a definite buy from me on release, got my PS3 this week+2games for £299 and i'm very pleased with it. I can finally forget about the stress of owning a dead 360. :)

Anthony_UK, go buy one. You get a a blue-ray player as well so it isn't all bad. By the time you get bored of GT5 Prologue, MGS4 will be out.

oh and the RX7 is another good mazda (from a performance standpoint)... a future classic and a top motor. Shame it's so unreliable and needs it's rotary engine rebuilt every few years.

The Rx8 is nothing like the RX7, it's a dressed up commuter car and is actually very boring and not really a sports car like the RX7 was. Hopefully the rumours of new RX7's will be true.

edit > by rx7 I mean the FD3s (the last one in the 90's).

A new RX-7? Unlikely. In a world of $100 a barrel oil, the future doesn't look Wankel-shaped. Which is a shame - the 3rd gen RX-7 was a beautiful machine.

F40. Not that much else here really that i want to drive that much. Bring on the XJR-15, Group C, Group B cars etc. The "rubbish" cars aren't fun anymore since you can't get the racing modification. I don't need this demo. Don't need a PS3 just yet.

damn!! OK I saw te Fezza 599 and the 430 but, the F40? man that is going to handle sweet and look even sweeter! so close to making me want to buy the console. But one thing baffles me though, why still no skid marks when flooring it around the corners?

Tehren > I hang around a few car forums/blogs and there are definite rumours of a NEW RX7 (taking styling cues from their new 'design' style as seen on the furai (however it's spelt) concept.

Nothing definiate and maybe it won't but just like the 'new 5th gen Toyota Supra' it's a rumour that has been persisting and not flat out denied by the makers.

is the track from the Concept demo featured in this? Or are they all brand new tracks? And for that matter, is the Concept demo still in the store, or are they at least planning to remove it now?

i was gonna pass on this and get the full game but with the online mode and all these cars i think its a deffinite buy, there seems to be enough game to better most full driving games, blu ray copy i think, so it can be sold on when the full gt come out... forza..pah!

I liked the fact you could buy a shit car, soup it up and then piss all over the BMWs :). That's why you need them in there.

So I guess the full version of GT5 will end up having around 300 Skylines just like GT4? :p

Well, I think this list is not too bad actually. A bunch of cars there I'm really not interested in, but at least we're getting the new M3, the R8, an Aston Martin, a few Ferraris plus TVR and Lotus. And while I'm generally mostly a fan of European cars, I gotta admit that that Nissan GT-R is looking pretty sweet as well, after I saw it on Fifth Gear recently.

What's the release date on Prologue? It's listed as March 28 here on Eurogamer, yet I've just seen an April 17 US release date - and Europe before the US for a Playstation release?! Surely that can't be right, can it?

Is this still going to be 1080p actually in-game? Or only in the menus/shiny pre-race screen?

You'll probably get RUFs if previous GTs are anything to go by, which is close enough really (since everything is tunable anyway, you're just getting a pre-tuned one).

@Miths
I think March is correct - about the same time as the bundle with the PS3 and very actually before the US for once. Official confirmation is imminent. I think they confirmed it once and then did a double take themselves when they realised they were before the US and got confused.

@antony_williams
Possibly some RUF's as usual?

I want to know this too. Is it going to be proper 1080p. None of that Upscaling stuff. What do they call it "Native"?

Also I think the witty Demo comments can be left at the door following this article. How Many Cars, How Many Tracks, Online & Split Screen (So I can Bash the Mrs ;-))... That should be enough to keep us busy.

I might import the US Blu-Ray, will probably be cheaper than the EU download... Haven't really played a GT in 5 years though... The PS3 demo was nice but leader boards aren't much of an incentive for me and I must admit that after unlocking all cars in the regular mode (which was rather easy even for me) I didn't touch it anymore besides showing it off to car loving friends. Downloaded the Japanese Prologue demo as well but never played it (as with most demos).

I wonder why Lamborghini wasn't included on the list. For me, this one is the best tuned car. Check this out, lamborghini murcielago wallpaper.
