(the screen shots I've seen are all from external views)
Thanks

I saw a box in EB (in UK) with a big coming soon sticker on it, so soon.
OTOH Dune 2000 was in there for ages with a coming soon sticker on it,
so......

?

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Indeed, EB shelves in the UK are packed with "coming soon" Grand Touring
boxes.

I suspect some people are confusign Grand Touring with Grand Turismo- they are
not the same titles.

True, they are not the same titles. But I have heard that Grand
Touring for the PC is built upon the Gran Turismo code. I've never
played GT on the PSX myself, but people that have played both say they
look and play remarkably similar.

Then they, or you, are completely on crack.

Unless the Elite boys have been hax0ring SCE (japan)'s codebase, and then
deciding to make a game that looks completely different to Grand Turismo.

Which doesn't make sense......

But then again, neither do you.

These games are completely diffferent, one looking completely not alike to the
other. (they may share a car in common, but nothing else)

Maybe I should repeat myself: This is what I was told, I have not
played GT on the PSX. If this is incorrect, then I apologize. Please
don't kill the messenger.

Grand Touring is now in EB. Anyone bought this yet?
Just wondered whether it is worth getting or not
ie. how realistic is it, will I be able to fully utilise the 2xMonser2 3dfx
cards I have, can the cars be driven from the***pit view?
Any help will be appreciated.
