"Sony Gives Gran Turismo HD Concept For Cmas" (http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/gran-turismo-hd-concept/sony-gives-gran-turismo-hd-concept-for-cmas-223966.php)
"
Sony today announced that Gran Turismo HD Concept is hitting the Playstation store for free on Christmas Eve in North America too. They had previously announced the deal for Japan.
The limited time free download supports 1080p and includes the Eiger Nordwand course. After unlocking ten cars in the time trial mode, players have access to ten more tuned cars as well as a Drift Trial mode.
While it sounds like the game doesn't support online play, it does allow you to upload your times and view the top 10 ranking for each car and mode. You can also play and save replays online.
Here's the list of the cars included in the freebie, in order of appearance:
-- 1995 Suzuki Cappucino
-- 1989 Mazda Eunos Roadster
-- 2004 Honda Integra TYPE R
-- 1996 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR
-- 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe
-- 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR
-- 2005 Lotus Elise 111R
-- 1994 Nissan SKYLINE GT-R Vspec II
-- 1995 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR Rally Car
-- 2006 Ferrari 599"

So is this like the PS3 Gran Turismo game with one track, or is this like GT4 in 1080p? If its the latter, thats pretty worthless for everyone who only have 1080i since GT4 on ps2 already does 1080i. If its the former, it may make me want to keep my ps3.

It's amazing that you can type, but somehow can't read. It says in the goddamned original post, that it's one track and 10 cars, with an option at 10 more - and it's all free.
Is it a new track or a recycled one from a previous GT game? I dunno that answer.
Hooray for free stuff, no matter the lack of depth. Sony could have a great online store if they could flesh it out a bit with content. Now if they'll announce Tekken: DR for PS3 download.

Well, calling it a "free game" is being pretty charitable. I just downloaded it and there's not much to it. it looks good, but it's just you on one track racing against the clock. Yeah, you can unlock new cars and whatnot, but it's definitely more of a demo than a real game.
Amazingly pretty (though not as impressive visually as Motorstorm, IMO), but really kind of boring.

Mine took less than 2 minutes to download ;)
I'm beginning to wonder if the PS3's wireless interface is shit. I have a friend who lives 10 miles away and has the 60GB model, downloads wirelessly, and has a terrible time with download speeds. I have the 20GB version and I got this in around 20 minutes. It took him several hours. And it's been the same story with everything he DLs on the PS3. He doesn't have similar issues on the 360 or Wii.

What the fuck. Did I ever ask how many tracks or how many cars there were, of course I can fucking read. I was just asking if this was 1 track and 10 cars taken from the new GT engine or if it was just a demo showcasing GT 4 in 1080P.

You're an evern bigger jerk because the PS Store is down right now. I had downloaded 66% earlier today when we had to leave to meet friends; but I'm no fool, and didn't leave my PS3 on to finish the download. Don't wanna pay to heat the whole neighborhood, y'know. ;)
It took me about 3 hours to download it wirelessly from the Japan store this morning. That's probably on par with some of the bigger 360 demos I've downloaded.
Anyone know if the Japanese or HK store accepts American credit cards? As long as I've set up the Japanese account I might as well try and get some of the PS1 games that aren't available in the US if I can.

Directed to the jerks who slandered M$ and Nintendo.
This isn't a free game. It's a demo!!! They've had it here in Japan's stores to play, for about 3 months.
It's just something to keep people loyal, and anxious for the real game.
I've played it on a 1080p enabled set, and while it is gorgeous, it is nothing more than it's predecessors. Controls are the same from the previous titles, and the 6axis didn't use its tilting function... although that may have been turned off or something.
Don't go knocking MS and Nintendo though. You think $ony giving you some lame ass demo equates to some gift from god??? M$ lets you demo EVERY game available.... including imports not available in the States. Nintendo just hatched it's online gaming... and they just gave us the Opera browser for free.... which enables gamers to play NUMEROUS Flash games online among other things.

What's so great about the web browser? PS3 has had one since day 1 and I've only used it once just to try it out. And the Opera browser isn't going to be free forever. Anyone who buys a Wii after June has to pay for it.

My quick and dirty review:
The game is very much like Jessica Alba: nice to look at, but ultimately shallow. Nevertheless, free is good. I've never been too keen on the ultra-realistic driving style of GT, but it delivers gameplay which would put any seasoned GT player right at home.
I don't recall the Sixaxis controller having pressure sensitive buttons like the PS2 Dualshock, but evidently they do - there are dashboard gauges for how hard you are pressing either the gas or the brake button (which are present to X and Square respectively, or alternately up and down on the right stick).
Graphically, it's very nice, though I can't compare it to games I haven't played (namely RR6/RR7 and PGR3).
There is an automatic online ranking system for the best times per vehicle. Big whoop, you say? Fine. The top 5 times for each car, however, are viewable as saved replays. So, when I see "CrackBoy's" time of 1:09 in the Subaru Cappucino, I want to see how in the world they managed that time. The console downloads a small file and begins to play CrackBoy's trip around the track almost instantly. A very cool feature that other games would greatly benefit from (across near every genre). My concern, however, is that the replay stops at the time that CrackBoy had, but he was only 3/4 of the way through the course at that time. Is this a glitch they discovered to get ranked, but not finish legit? Perhaps. At any rate, his skill at the game far surpassed mine, whether or not he legitimately deserves that #1 spot.
All in all, a very nice, and very free, Christmas treat from Sony. You have us salivating now, so don't let there be too long of a gap between this feeling and the eventual release of the next full GT game on PS3. You've done an amazing job souring PSP users on Gran Turismo; please don't repeat yourself this time.

And now for my quick review:
Totally kicks the @$$ out of the free weather and Opera browser I downloaded this week.
I was never a GT fan, or a sim racing fan in general until GT3. I felt right at home with this tech demo.
For a demo, it's pretty fleshed out options wise. I love that it lets you choose whether you want to output 1080i or 720p, the 7 or so wheel configs, even the timing of the "demonstrations". (clips when you don't move the controller) etc etc etc
1 track in both directions, and 10 cars.
Really wish there were a second track, or ability to play at night, but that's alright. The ranking feature really makes it worthwhile.
Other than Crackboy's weird replay... it's great incentive to get better and try to get your name on the top ten list.
I LOVE the fact that you can download their replay (didn't GT4 do this?) and see how they ran it, right down to their button presses and car settings. Gave me a few tips on my lap times, and I'm SOOO close to cracking the top ten with my Miata.
Visually, the game is the most beautiul racer I've seen yet.
Motorstorm is probably more thrilling, but this game is just so detailed and accurate.
I wish I had a 1080p set to fully experience it.
And Dolby Digital sound? Thanks!
All in all, a great, great great Christmas present from your friends at Sony.
F' you crackboy!
EDIT:
Forgot to mention Drift Mode which rates you your drifting ability with points rather than lap times.
I don't think a lot of people really play this yet, so my ranking is higher here.
No one has cracked 10,000 points with any of the cars as of yet... but on one of the "demonstration" clips it shows the rally Celica doing just that with ease. Man, perfect drifting...

I'm not saying it's a bad demo,... but it's just that, a demo.
Yeah, it's better than a web browser... but the fact that you can play the Flash games makes it pretty cool.
I just don't like when asshats assault the other companies, because their preferred manufacturer isn't doing well, and then tosses the consumer a demo to shut them up, then they get big headed and start the "let's flame Nintendo and MS for not giving you Halo demos and Smash Bros.
I know that when GT, Halo3, and Smash Bros. hit... I'll be having a really awesome time :)

It's a demo of a game that has been cancelled.
I don't get to play many cancelled games.
Nice present indeed!
It's also a disturbingly good proof of concept for their microtransaction apocalypse model because, were they to release another track and a handful of cars for it, I'd plunk down $5-10 to get 'em.

Why was the game cancelled? Isn't Gran Turismo their star racing series?
It was just GT4 with HD graphics. They decided to scrap it and focus on GT5.

Other games have benefited from this feature. Project Gotham 2 had it three years ago.
It is great that they are using it here, but it is nothing revolutionary.

Can you use the triggers for gas and break or only the face buttons?

Your defense is good though.... playing a canceled game?? Funny, I've played about 6, unreleased game demos on my 360, that will remain here in Japan, thanks to MS. So, while your argument is good, 1 cancelled demo is QUITE the present.. LOL!!!,... I'll just keep in mind that $ony had enough sense to cancel that mess.
Not only was their launch a turd, their handheld a peanut in the turd, and their half-assed classic remake schemes that everyone seems to love a joke, but their unquenchable thirst for power is even more evident with their proprietary media rackets. Wow... Memory Stick, MiniDisc, UMD, BluRay..... what an arsenal! Remade Ninja Gaiden, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo,.... so many guaranteed hits, but NO NEW ORIGINAL games. Imagine that!
I did like playing my Gran Turismo 2 on Dreamcast though.... that sure made the system.

Man this is one good demo, none the less Sony has a few problems with the whole download process. First off, i could not download the demo Wirelessly as my connection kept on droping (this does not happen on my 360 or Wii), wireless is slow as hell (again something that does not happen on the other two systems), when a download is dropped it restarts which is just horrible and finally we should be able to do something else while downloading things like on the 360 as i hate being forced to sit their watching my download bar fill up. Simple but very important things here but the GT demo was worth it.

It's pretty amazing it derailed to the level it has, which is normally reserved for states of emergency.
Welcome to every thread in PS3 CAG Forum.
Thats what most of you guys like to turn it into.

You guys are sooo fucking annoying for bitching about getting a free game.
Sweet shit, it shows how desperate you people are to complain about the PS3. They did something right... and better then their competitors.Stop being a bitch:roll:

Just got back to vegas, nice Christmas suprise from Sony. They really shouldve bundled it like this in a disc from the start like Nintendo did with wii sports. This game has lasted longer than Wii sports for me so far and is quite decent, though like they've said before, it's a whole lot of recycled assets. Good stuff though.
Hope it works with my logitech momoforce wheel though. I guess we'll see

There you go it is a free game, and it looks great. The best part being it is free.
Amen to that!

People say graphics dont matter and Wii is so much more fun than the PS3 or 360.

That picture explains it all.
Way to go, PS3 fanshits. Comparing a top tier, AAA game like Gran Turismo to a quick and dirty port of what was already a crappy racing title, which nobody expected anything from. (and even fewer were stupid enough to buy)
I'd take Excitetruck/Burnout/PGR3 over GT5 anyday. (unless they actually spend time on things like AI, damage modeling, updated controls, physical rather than just numerical upgrades, and decent online, and did things about how easy it is to win races by bumping off walls and opponnent cars, all things that haven't been touched since GT2)
GT has felt like a job I don't want to be doing since GT2.. And I was a HUGE fan of the first two Gran Turismo games. why doesn't anybody see that they are making the series prettier without changing the core bumpercars gameplay? It's really a good symbol of Sony as a whole.

Seriously why did you feel the need to post, why is it so hard for others to let people enjoy something. Or to have a thread go more than a few pages, with out pointless namecalling?

DarkNessBear's irrational correlation between GT5's fancy graphics and how much fun it must be drove me into a frenzy. These kids and their graphics. Apologies for your thread. I did keep it Gran Turismo related, if you notice.

Are you an idiot?
The picture is oozing with sarcasm.
And it's really only making fun of the Nintendo fanboys who think fancy things like AA and sharp textures are foul things.
It's not a serious comparison, just a quick laugh.
It certainly doesn't say to me, Wii sucks, PS3 rules.
I posted that picture on a Wii thread and we all got some laughs out of it.
Get a sense of humor.

If you go into a "frenzy" after reading message board postings, you need help. No joke.

Does anyone know if Sony is going to take the demo down anytime soon? I'm not in the country right now so I won't be able to download it until mid-January...
