All I can say is this: After seeing these screenshots, this game has become a day one purchase for me. I'm not the biggest racing game fan, save for Burnout Paradise, but this game looks absolutely stunning. I hope it plays as good as it looks.
I'm also a little amused at the reaction to these screenshots. It looks like some PS3 fanboys are a little taken aback that the 360 can actually render photo-realistic graphics. GT5 may sell more copies than Forza 3........but then again, Forza 3 is probably going to come out first and will be aimed at a bigger user base. I don't think it's going to be a hardware seller or anything, but most games aren't in this stage of a generation.
PS3 zealots, there's no need for sour grapes here. You'll get your exclusive racer too. Sheesh. Arguing over the OP's opinion of the foliage just makes you look like a bitter fanboy.
