News // Gran Turismo 5 - GT5 - Sense of Speed Improvement

In general, most car racing games including Gran Turismo have struggled to give the player a real sense of speed. Arcade racing games, virtual reality simulators both give the user a feel of movement and speed like you get in real life racing. In the early days it appeared that even Gran Turimo 5 wasn't able to do this but the most recent Gran Turismo 5 footage seems to have turned this on its head. The below GT5 Demo 24h Nuerburgring video shows a clip from Gran Turismo5 and looks like a huge improvement on the previous games' and clearly shows the improvement.

In this video Of Gran Turismo 5 shown on YouTube it shows a long 8m+ clip of the Nurburgring 24-hour circuit demo taken directly from the game. The actual source of the video is unknown but looks 100% genuine. In this clip it shows a player driving a Lexus car out for a drive around the track. This demo clearly shows GT5's new and improved driving physics. In actual fact this looks like someone who has played a lot before because they post a very competitive time after driving the Lexus at extreme speeds around the track.

We cannot be 100% sure why they are able to post such a good time, maybe it is the standard of the driver or the new camera view but Gran Turismo 5 does seem to give the viewer a real sense of speed. Have a watch and let us know what you think about the new GT5 game!
