Agreed. The more realistic the graphics got, the more unrealistic the game started to feel (no crash damage, no deformable environment, etc.).

Completely agree, I hated no crash damage and how the area in the tracks didn't have any interaction to collisions etc.

I liked the first Gran Turismo game, but after that they've all been boring to me.

Maybe it was because I was in college at the time as well as the game blowing away other racing sims before it, but the sequels have still not captured something as enjoyable as drifting a fully upgraded NSX in the first GT.

A bit more news on the US release:
http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/03/06/more-details-emerge-for-gran-turismo-5-prologue/

I’m blogging today with some awesome news! Today SCEA released more information about the North American version of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, scheduled for launch on PS3 in April. These new details include the full vehicle roster, the track list and some cool additional features. You can read all the nitty-gritty details in the press release, but here is a brief summary and some new screens shots. Enjoy!

Summary of differences between Japanese version and the American version:

* A whopping 30+ additional vehicles (compared to the Japanese version), including tuner cars from Amuse, Mine’s, etc.
* Another track to race on: an all-time favorite in the series - frantic and chaotic High Speed Ring!
* In Drift Mode, measure your drifting technique based on driving line, angle and speed within scoring zones on the course
* With the Quick Tune feature, adjust your vehicle’s settings including power, weight, tires and suspension
* All new set of online and offline race events and time trials to jump into, win, and unlock cars/features
* With Logitech’s new Driving Force GT racing wheel, you can adjust brake bias, traction and damper settings on-the-fly like they do in real-life with Formula One and rally cars. GT5 Prologue will support DualShock 3, too!

There will be much more info coming on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue soon, but in the meantime, enjoy these crisp, new screenshots!

Guess that explains why the US release was set so far back compared to the Japanese release. I thought they were just going to do some translations.

The full PR release (with full list of cars) can be found here:

Plenty of new screens released today as well.
