Something to add to the update.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Update Available Now! And Includes NEW CARS!!

+ Posted by Taku Imasaki // Producer, SCEA

Hello Blog Readers and GT Fans! I enthusiastically return to the blog with very good news. Hitting on our promise to continue to evolve the GT series, a new update for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is NOW available. This update adds three new vehicles to the game?s line-up, plus a number of gameplay and performance enhancements we think you?ll be excited about. Here we go?

New Vehicles
All three vehicles and manufacturers have special ties to Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital. They will be added to their respective Dealership areas in GT5 Prologue.

GT by Citreon - The ?GT by Citroen? concept car is the result of a groundbreaking collaboration between French automaker Citroen and Polyphony Digital. The formal debut of the vehicle took place yesterday at the Paris Motor Show, coinciding with the release of today?s update to the game. A video of the ?GT by Citroen? can be viewed in HD within Gran Turismo TV.

Check out the screenshots below and for photos, follow this link.

GT by Citroen '08_002

The two other new cars are the Ferrari California and the Lotus Evora. They are a lot of fun to drive. For a look at these sexy vehicles, check out the images below.

California '08_006Evora(2009)_001

The GT by Citroen is available for 1 Million credits; the Ferrari California will go for 300,000 credits the Lotus Evora for 100,000. Piece of cake, right?!?

GamePlay Enhancements
We?ve also added some great new gameplay enhancements to continue to improve the racing experience in GT5 Prologue. This includes changes to the penalty system; specifically, during Time Trial events, speed penalties have been removed, and instead incurring such a penalty now invalidates the lap time for that particular lap. Race events are also being updated, with tweaked difficulty levels and increased earnings for winning a top spot. Additionally, improved responsiveness when using the wireless controller, and improved sound volume balance for sound effects and music for a better racing experience. Drift Trial races have also been changed to feature a rolling start.

Disclaimer Note Here: Rankings, arcade time trial times, drift trial records, as well as vehicle-specific quick tune settings and custom key layouts will all be reset with the new update. Replay data created before the second update will no longer be viewable after this update. To confirm the version you have before updating the game, check the in-game manual.

That?s it for now, folks. I?ll see you on the track?.
 
Wow, you have to pay a fee to use this NBA Live 365 DNA stuff? This has been their biggest selling point to NBA Live this year, I've never read once that it was extra. To hell with that.

Bioshock I believe has the exact same content as PC the last time I heard.

Bioshock PS3 has some new modes like an extra hard mode, and some other features. Not much though
 
I am downloading BIA Hells Highway.

Better be good since I have been waiting to try it out.
 
Hmm, Might as well try out the Bioshock demo as well. There is a site that has a side by side comparison of the PS3 and the 360 versions.

It seemed like the PS3 looked a *hair* sharper in graphics, but the 360 had slightly better color.

Meh, the releases are a year apart. Not really much sense in comparing graphics now.

Don't know, but I saw that you posted in the NBA2K9 demo thread....I'll be downloading it and giving it a try.

The DNA feature seemed cool, but it wasn't a selling point for me. Now that I know they want to charge you $20 extra for it, it's actually turned me off from Live.
 
I'm looking forward to ES for the PS3 - I almost bought it for the 360, but decided to hold out for the enhanced PS3 version.

It is, however, total BS that it's going for $60. Even Disgaea 3 retailed for $50.

yeah its pretty ridiculous they're charging for it. you'd think they'd include it cause it is supposed to extend the replayability of the game.

Damn that is retarded. I guess I'll wait on 2k9 to come out on tuesday.
 
I'm playing the BS demo @ 1080i (max resolution on my TV) and it looks great. The water reflect, water dots on screen, fire, all look real nice. The loading screens have an old school grainy look to them though.
 
When I first played the BS demo, first thing I noticed was that the PC demo I played a year ago looked much better.

Both times, I thought the demo was really boring.
