Liveblogging the GT5 ‘Nights’ Trailer

For your entertainment?

10 Mar 10 / # / 2

 

Instead of releasing the actual game, Sony instead decided we would like this trailer they made for Gran Turismo 5:

0:12 – That’s a city. It looks… okay.
0:17 – Headlights in a tunnel? Kind of neat, but not something I’d want in a racing game.
0:23 – Why do these cities always look abandoned?
0:34 – Nurburgring. Eh.
0:38 – Car commercial shot.
0:54 – From that previous comment to here, this trailer is awesome.
0:55 – And now I’m bored.
0:55 – Mercedes’ should not be red.
0:58 – That’s better.
1:06 – ACTIVE AERO.
1:12 – Is the front plate really necessary?
1:20 – Stock cars…?
1:29 – Pit crews – that’s cool!
1:36 – That damage is fantastic!
1:40 – Ferraris should be red.
1:55 – They have all these gratuitous glamour shots when really you’re either going to be seeing the back of your car or the steering wheel 100% of the time.
2:25Gran Turismo 5: coming… some day?

So in summary:

  1. Active aero is cool.
  2. Pit crews are cool.
  3. More detailed / extreme damage is cool.
  4. I don’t care that much about GT5.

After ’shock

Meet the new Bioshock, same as the old Bioshock. In a good way.
