Gran Turismo PSP

[Militant]

Anyone going to be playing this? I pre-ordered mine from GameStop, so I'll be getting it with a Black Bugatti Veyron. Most recently I've played NFS:Shift (great but too easy imo, for 360 btw) and Midnight Club LA Remix (for PSP). I am assuming GT is going to have a bit more depth than both. The previews I read explained that it wasn't going to require getting your different licenses in the traditional sense of old GT games. I'm a little worried about handling/controls for the PSP, but the previews I read said the control felt very solid. Also, I don't own a PS3 currently, but I was told you will be able to transfer your GT PSP garage over to the PS3 version when it arrives, if so, this would be a huge head start. I hope they have my car in the game (2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4), as it always seems to be overlooked in racing games, even though cars of the same calibur (evo, sti) are usually included probably because of their 10K higher price tag. Thoughts?

Edit: Comes out Thursday 10/1.

"Driver Challenges" mode, single race, time attack and other junk, that's all it has. Looks pretty, but that's it. No career mode(or something similar) = not worthwhile, at least for me.

same No career mode is a Bust for me

Target near me already had it out for purchase.

No career mode...seriously? What the hell is the point?

[Correction]

I can't divorce the concept of a Gran Turismo game without having a comfortable controller in my hands for some of the longest races. Presumably there is no 24 hour Nürburgring race but even some of the 50-100 lap races would become almost unbearable with that little analog slider on the left corner of a PSP.

I have already played the shit out of this back then when it was called Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec, I'll pass.

I'll probably pick this up just to have all the cars ready to transfer to GT5.

SRT-4 is close but not has high as a Evo or Sti

I would classify the SRT-4 closer to the WRX (esp after the nice HP boost the 2009 wrx recieved)

and no where close to the Sti

I went out to buy GT PSP last night, but decided against it at the last second. I'm only buying it to have cars in GT5 and GT5 won't be out for a while. So I'm just going to wait for this to go down in price and pick it up used.

I hate playing without a wheel anyway.

I agree
