Played a wee bit of GT5 at a local game retailer today. Looks brilliant, and drives very well. The in-game isn't totally jaggies free, but you have to be looking pretty hard to see them. Drove the Merc, lovely car.
Also I didn't notice any X shaped trees or bushes as I was driving by at 180Km/h, at least not the trees that are right on the road side. So I think there's been significant improvement on that front.
It's looking like a sweet title, and it's really going to be the defining PS3 exclusive of the generation. Not that it'll be the GOTG for me, but in the end I think it will be the GOTG for the PS3 in the broadest sense of the term (i.e. it's not about meta-score, or gaming awards won, or uniqueness of IP, but on overall impact). Though I suppose some people will argue for MGS4 as the defining PS3 exclusive of the generation, and there's merit in that claim.
