    If this ends up happening, Forza 2 can drop dead.

    About time! But don't you think it's a bit late though? I've been a Gran Turismo fan since the very first game, and I've owned each game since. Part of my choice to not buy a PS3 until 2008-2009 was due to the fact that Forza 2 looked so much better than Gran Turismo 5 (or HD, whatever it was called then), especially as Forza was so much better than Gran Turismo 4. Now, I have a Xbox 360, and was looking forward to Forza 2. But I really think GT5 will run all over Forza 2 with this news...

    A great move by PD, but it's certainly a bit late.

    When is Gran Turismo 5 set to come out? Because if it is 2008-2009 then the majority of people won't bother waiting for GT and instead go for the noew and get Forza 2, coming out in the next couple of weeks.

    I have to admit though that news does sound promising for PS3 and Gran Turismo fans.

    Sweet!, That's one thing Grand Turismo has alwys lacked, Realism! There was never ny damage, weathering and things amongst that category. It would be cool if you had to pay for all the damage that was caused in a race.

    20 player online? Haha, sweet. I just hope that these new features don't damage the reputation which Gran Turismo has built up over the last few years.

    Wowowow, 20 PLAYERS online?!?! Wow. That is really good. I've always been a fan of Grand Turismo, but this will definitely make the previous Grand Turismo's look like crap, haha.

    This is a huge improvement.

    F1 cars? Cool.

    And damage? I sure hope it's GOOD. There are a lot of games out there where the damage isn't even worth it because it's so poorly put into the game. Seeing as this is Gran Turismo though, I'm feeling pretty good on the damage.
