1UP: Gran Turismo PSP Preview

Most people assumed that Sony had shelved Gran Turismo PSP years ago; they had barely even mentioned the game since launching the PSP back in 2005. But one of Sony?s surprises for E3 was a fully playable version of the game and the announcement that it will release alongside PSP Go this October.

I'm truly impressed with how much quality is seeping from this title. The PSP continues to surprise me with games that are very close to PS2 quality, sometimes even better. I think Chains of Olympus was the real eye opener for me.

"it's the best looking handheld racing game out there, and it plays very well -- but it's also very much a "Gran Turismo" game. By that I mean it's not only a sim, but it also favors attention to realism over playability."

That is all I needed to hear. DAY ONE!

^^^^ Yeah man, Chains of Olympus is amazing for a handheld title. The moment with Kratos and his daughter was just sick, loved every second of it.

As much as I would like this game, it would be such a huge time investment to complete the game(or at least a significant amount of it). I think I'll just wait for GT5 as I would rather spend hundreds of hours playing a console game than a portable game.

But we'll see, I might pick this up :D

I gotta have both.

I think the cars are transferable?

[doctorstrange]

They said that that was a feature that they would possibly implement and would like to have, so hopefully it will come true.

[Finalfantasykid]

Well if the cars are transferable between GT PSP and GT5, then that definitely sounds like a cool feature. But all I remember hearing was that they are transferable between other people's GT PSP game saves.

Regardless, I still have to have both.

[RememberThe357]

Sony is finally supporting the PSP! I've been waiting for this kind of support since the hand held launched.

[Seraphemz]

I agree, Sony is finally showing Psp some love

[Saaking]

I'm looking forward to GT PSP. I was pleasantly surprised when the October release date was announced out of nowhere. This is definitely a day 1. The PSP is getting so many good games that it's just unbelievable! :)

They are talking about potential links between PSP GT and PS3 GT, in that if you unlock a car on your psp version, that appears in your PS3 version and vice versa....

[Jihaad_cpt]

I am going to be broke cause I want this and a PSP Go.

[yoghurt]

I'm sure there will be a nice psp go + gt bundle upon release :)

[dogmeat eater]

[Oldsnake007]

How can they say they are the best , when a Handheld game looks better than Forza
