Does some1 here know if there are some projects to develop
a Gran Turismo or a Gran Turismo-like on PC ?
Because, as a *** sim racer, i think that the PSX version
with the better graphics of a PC and some new features would be
the ultimate sim ever.
(Tons of cars, custom mecanic pieces, driving licenses, etc....)

If someone has some infos, please answer this post.
Thanks.

IMHO NFS-4 is the best pc equivalent of Gran Turismo. Especially when you
got ALL the tracks (which include the racing tracks) enabled and all cars
downloaded.
I played Grand Turismo on my PC using Bleem, the PSX emulator. If you got a
descent PC, you can play it with a better graphics quality (higher
resolution) than on the PSX!

it may be one of those games that sony will not release on a pc, basically to
help sales. Most of other games can be found on both formats, I even got a
Metal Slug X to play with!!!!

I have played it using a WINTV card and routing the PSX signal through the
card. IT looks better than on the TV, albeit mainly because it is on a very
small windows screen. But I have noticed that you lose some of the visual
impact when going through a tunnel at speed on a 17 inch monitor versus a 35
inch TV, inspite of the lack of resolution.
