Polyphony Digital Drive Improved Visuals to GT5

02/15/2010 Written by Jonathan Leack

With the highly-anticipated release of both gameplay and footage in the past 6 months, Polyphony Digital have received high praise for the visuals in Gran Turismo 5. Despite being hailed by many as the best-looking racing game to date, the recent release of the GT5 Time Trial Challenge left much to be desired by fans, and many considered it a disappointing sign of the final release. However, Polyphony Digital are masters of the genre and have vastly improved the visuals in the past few months.

An official video of the GT Academy 2010 finals has been released and shows much improved graphics over previous builds of Gran Turismo 5. One thing worth noting is that Polyphony Digital declared the game’s content “finished” nearly 6-months ago. The past months and also the future of development have all been reserved for debugging, enhancement and polish of the final build. As seen in the image above, the details of the grass alone have been improved drastically.

Be sure to check out the video below to see the improvements made to the visuals of Gran Turismo 5, which are remarkable and still a work in progress.

    whoever thinks the final build of GT5 will not look that good, must be new to gaming.

    So all the delays have been all for making the grass and dandelions look nice on the side of the road then basically? BOOOOOOOORRRRED!

  4. If someone really doubts the graphics will be good they are crazy in the head.

    @st.anger thats not what all the delays have been about, this story was talking about finalizing the graphics. The delays have been over adding cars and options to the game like weather effects and night/day driving, new tracks or desiging your own things like that. They havent been wasting 3+ years of delays soley on graphics.

    I’m sure it’s a lot more to it than that. This thing is going to support 3D and Motion Controls, I guarantee it

    I was impressed, it made me want to buy GT5 on release.

  7. Legoman24 says:

    I’m glad they at least iron out the bugs and made the graphics better. That will make the game ALOT better!

    Yeah, we’ve all seen a hundred screenshots and videos from this game by now. If they’re never going to release the damned thing, there’s no point in looking at them any more. Just a reminder – the idea that it will be out in November is a rumor. It was rumored that it would be out last November as well.

    All I want is a true 1080p game that just showcases the PS3′s ability that hushs all the critics and all the haters. Because I heard that GW3 is going to downgrade to 720p and what not. That still doesn’t mean that it won’t be badass cause it will be. But just to shut them clowns up. Games like UC1 and 2 are off the charts badass at 720p and people are still hating because to date no PS3 games are 1080p yet.
