well the way the game is set up, it takes a loooong time before you'll see most of the cars.

hm...isn't Brad's voice usually deeper?  Also I don't remember him purposely mispronouncing words as much when I've heard him before.  He didn't die as much as he usually does either.  Call me crazy, but it seems almost like Ryan is playing this.

You kids and your 60 fps.  Wolfenstein 3d ran like a slideshow on my 286, unless I reduced the image to a postage stamp size.

@TwoOneFive: Yeah I know. I played GT4 for the PS2 though and I only really used at least 30 of the cars since most of them were eith small city cars or just a slightly different model of a car (the Skyline for example)
 
.@Shadow: I think that is Ryan. Sounds like him anyway.

I never thought this was going to see the light of day, having been announced prior to the FIRST PSP's release.

It's like a mini, slightly low-poly GT4.  Bummer that there's no career mode, but props to Ryan for driving in bumpercam mode.   
 
Also, no analog throttle and brake for GT is FAIL.

I would say the GT days are over. Looks sooooo boring compared to other driving games. I mean, a driving game without damaged cars? WTF?

The game looks good, but I don't think it's worth a PSP just for this game.

Why does there need to be a picture of a PSP on the screen. I know it's being played on a PSP just have the video there.

I was hyped for this when it was announced but since then its gone downhill. I mean why is there no career mode or anything? The 1up podcast this week said that there is no motivation to keep playing. I think I'll make my one racing game a year Forza 3.

How can you have your own game website and not know how much PSP games cost? Not to mention the countless other times when you didn't know the price of games.

While my recent discovery of Forza 2 has made me into a driving sim fan, I think I'll pass on this.  I love my PSP, but I really hate it when it's used to shove what are essentially console games onto it just because they can.  What's the point of this game?  Who is the intended audience?  
 
I'll wait until GT5 to get into GT.

The first track they play is the Monaco track in F1.  And yeah, looks pretty decent for a PSP game i have to say.

wow pretty disappointing, hadnt looked anything up on this prior to watching the QL.  Although, I guess I really only want to play a sim racer on a full on console or PC so I was likely gonna pass on this anyway.

No career or tuning in a GT game? That's...strange, and really turns me off of this. I was considering getting a PSP for this, now I'm definitely not going to.

@KinjiroSSD: You're probably right, but still, there are certain features that are to be expected in a racing game in 2009. 
I also love Burnout, but Motorstorm isn't my thing. I like variety in my level designs and its a little too bouncy for me.

And oh man, I haven't been actively watching the video until now, but MAN the tracks are ugly. Even for a PSP game. I played God of War: CoO so I know what the system is capable of.

I'm dying of boredom inside. OutRun is a far better fit for the PSP, but, unfortunately, when they made that game they didn't ensure a stable framerate.

Oh shit!!!! 
 
When the lads started talking about the backrounds, I got a mad sense of deja vu and thought to myself "yeah, it reminds me of a track from a formula 1 game i played over 10 years ago" Then I noticed that it was the track from the monaco gran prix.

Gran Turismo is running at a constant 60 frames per second which I know God of War struggled to keep over 30 most of the time. A lot of the details are missing to keep that solid framerate and it still looks great imo. I wouldn't be surprised if GT is using the PSP power to its fullest potential like GoW did as well.

@catalystex: It was a while ago that I played it, but I remember God of War's framerate as being a pretty consistent 30. I realize that 60fps is important for this series, though, so I guess some of the ugliness is acceptable. There are other things about this game that are dumb.

That specific track that Ryan raced on is my favourite Formula 1 Grand Prix setting, won't be making a purchase though.
