This past weekend, I went into Software Etc (they're owned by Gamestop) and there was a PS3 kiosk setup with a car game on... some 12 year old was playing it, so I didnt look too close. I immediately thought it was Prologue and there was a sign attached to the kiosk that sat GT5: Prologue. So sure, there you have it.

I browsed around a bit and because I never saw prologue in action before, wandered back to the Kiosk. I thought it looked pretty, backgrounds were nice (it was in some desert setting with canyons and stuff). Car model looked, ok... but it didn't look like the car was driving on the road. Basically appeared to be floating just above it.

As I looked closer, I thought to myself "Wow, Prologue really doesn't look as good as I expected it to." There were jaggies, some texture problems, and more.

Then, the kid playing the game crashed.... and there was vehicular damage. Huh? GT5 doesn't have damage modeling. Maybe its Grid? That's coming out soon and is suposed to be cool (at that point, I hadn't played the Grid demo yet)

Upon closer inspection, after the car reset itself, the license plate said "ProStreet"

I got punked, and still have never seen GT5 in person.

wait...
did I leave AT and go to a blog?

Oh, and it sounds like GT5 WILL have damage modeling, and be the first game of the series to do so... but they weren't able to get it into Prologue. BTW, no word yet if GT5 will release before Home or the PS4. I have my doubts. :D

Whats even stranger than them keeping the name, is that both Gamestop and Software Etc are in the same mall.... one corridor away. The Software Etc has larger square footage while Gamestop is basically a closet.

I swear this was originally posted in ATOT, but I could be delusional.
Nah, I posted it here because it related to console games.
