[EXCLU] Tous les Packs PS3 d'ici la fin 2009 - PS3 News

Thanks to a user over on GtPlanet, here is a translation :

If you are considering buying a PS3 Slim, maybe you were waiting for packaged offerings that Sony will not fail to propose by the end of the year.
We are able to show in preview, thanks to one of our contacts, the official listing of deals that Sony will sell by the end of the year:
* Pack PS3 Slim + Need for Speed Shift: € 339 – Release Date: 01 October 2009 – 25,000 units
* Slim Pack PS3 + Blu-Ray 2: € 339 – Release Date: October 2009
* Slim Pack PS3 + Uncharted 2: € 339 – Release Date: 14 October 2009 – 50,000 units
* Slim Pack PS3 + PES 2010: € 339 – Release Date: 24 October 2009 – 50,000 units
* + Slim Pack PS3 Tekken 6: 339 € – Released: 04 November 2009 – 25,000 units

* + Slim Pack PS3 Gran Turismo 5: € 339 – Release Date: 04 December 2009 to 75,000 units.
All this is very attractive package and Gran Turismo 5 will be undoubtedly the hit of the season. Of course, this schedule could still change or supplement.

I dont want damage modelling in Gran Turismo... it's not.. right

Sorry to say but GT pales in comparison to their Tourist Trophy which is GT on bikes instead. Tourist Trophy was a much better game when they landed on the PS2. I would rather see a new tourist trophy than another GT game.

GT5 eh? I'll beleive it when I see it.

And TBH, the wait has been so long now I don't know if I can be bothered to buy/play it.

One of the biggest balls-ups in a console release ever IMO. Had sony actually finished it within the first 12 months of the PS3 release, then they would have a much larger share of the market.

if im not mistaken, Sony diddnt make this game, its PD that did

[menthel]

Don't Sony own PD?

[Grey M@a]

I am sure they are one of Sony's owned software houses. They should still bin Gran Turismo as its past its prime and showing its age. They should go forward with Tourist Trophy instead

how is it past its prime and age? all they got to do is create a brand new engine with the physics and damage found on rfactor and gtr evo with next gen graphics and they have a game that will be the best racing game hands down.

Tourist Trophy? what the hell is that??? Right now there is NO racing game similar to forza on the ps3 and gt5 is the closest you get to that.

[shaithis]

It is a sony-owned software house....how else do you think it got to be PS3-exclusive?

[Grey M@a]

Josh you don't know Tourist Trophy 0.o it's GT on bikes instead and the better for the two games personally. I do believe one of the first PS2 games to go 1080i and also made by Polyphony Digital who made Gran Turismo

Essentially its GT for those of us who prefer bikes to cars

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIc9S...eature=related (Pretty much sums up the game )

I will say though the PS3 might not have a Forza equivalent as yet but then again, Forza isn't all that either. There are much better racers out there than Forza

[shaithis]

Yeah, I hate bikes!

Especially bike racing games.....always feel like I am going to fall off

That's part of the excitement Just you don't actually want to fall off, had a few close calls myself in the lashing rain or sudden downpours. In Tourist Trophy though its half the fun using photo mode to catch your rider high siding.

I can't wait for it.

I did have a 360 and loved playing Forza 2 on it, but when i got the PS3 I got rid of the 360, very tempted to get another 360 to play Forza 3 on it until GT5 comes out, or just play both and quit my job.

Whichever console I currently own I'd consider buying the other one to play the best racing game on that.
