Gran Turismo HD
At this year’s E3 2006, I am excited to provide you a glimpse of our vision for Gran Turismo® by showcasing the technological capabilities of PLAYSTATION®3 with a special playable demo titled “Gran Turismo HD�. Please note that this product does not represent an official product and is merely a prototype.
With the power of PLAYSTATION 3, “Gran Turismo HD� has been prepared in full HD resolution (i.e. 1920 x 1080p, p for progressive) and is displayed at a refresh rate of 60 frames per second. As you may know, this is the highest possible performance available on the latest high definition television and is three times higher in quality than the average high definition quality broadcast where HD-CAM capabilities are at 1450 x 1080i, (i for interlace). Comparatively, the visual quality in “Gran Turismo HD� is 12 times higher than Gran Turismo® 4 on PlayStation® 2, allowing for a world of true high definition, not possible in any other visual format today. The wait for the next generation of Gran Turismo, post launch of PS3, may not be as long as you think.
Formula One 06
FORMULA ONE 06 is scheduled to roar onto PLAYSTATION®3 with all the official drivers, cars, circuits, rules and teams, including SCUDERIA TORRO ROSSO, SUPER AGURI F1 TEAM and MIDLAND F1 RACING in their debut year.
Fasten your seatbelt and be prepared for the race of your life as FORMULA ONE 06 brings players a brand new gaming experience, allowing you to get closer to the sport than ever before. This is your chance to take part in the 2006 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPâ„¢ and truly interact with the sport.
The stunning graphics and power of PLAYSTATION 3 take the franchise to a completely new level to deliver the most realistic racing experience to date. Loaded with brand new features and next generation visual effects, sounds and animation, this is as close as it can get to the real thing.
