Fans of the seemingly vapor-ware Gran Tursimo 5 will want to take a seat if they’re envisioning a holiday full of GT5 racing. It appears that GT5 may not make it in time for the end of year celebrations. Shocking, I know… The bad news comes by way of online retailers whom are showing an “In Stock” game, yet when actually clicking through and trying to purchase it, a pre-order button is the only thing vying for your attention. Further disappointing...
If you follow Gadgetsteria on a rather consistent basis, you’ll know I have a thing for racing games — Forza and Gran Turismo in particular. Since Forza 2 came onto the scene, I’ve largely ignored Gran Turismo (any version) mainly due to the damage modeling and more precise physics in Forza. There’s something about GT’s 200mph wall bouncing that just isn’t very…real. However, GT 5 is changing all of that. The damage modeling that...

You either crave for the seemingly life-like visuals of Gran Turismo or the more (physically speaking) real world of Forza with it’s active damage modeling and more advanced physics engine. Whatever the case, a delay in either games next gen title is a deafening blow. It isn’t hard to guess who the tardy entry is…GT5. Originally...
No, I didn’t misplace a zero. The simulation racing game that has spanned the ages of video gaming time packs a wallop in the latest installment, Gran Turismo 5. $60 million is a lot of money, especially considering it was spent on a single video game. Now I’m not to deep in development costs for other big gaming titles, but I’m surprised to say the least. I’ve been playing Gran Turismo since v2 and have loved every minute….and then Forza...
Since the first Gran Turismo graced my TV set and infiltrated my eyes, I have been begging for damage modeling. Any true racing sim can’t go on without it yet somehow Gran Turismo managed to go years through 4 different games without it. I must admit, while I am a Playstation guy, Once Forza came out for Xbox it was a done deal as the added complexity, eye candy, and game involvement of damage modeling instantly catapulted Forza to the top of my list for racing...
