Anyone know when Grand Touring is being released. And, will it be possible to drive from within the***pit (the screen shots I've seen are all from external views) Thanks PJ

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. Steve

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

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

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.

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) Z.

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. PJ
