    I don't know if the screens I got were exclusive, so I posted them anyway.

    Gameloft (London) handed them to me, and the game looks very well polished.

    Does GT stand for Gran Turismo?

    looks like Asphalt 5. Even if the controls will be far far better I wouldn't buy this similar to Asphalt 5 looking "Asphalt 6". Sorry Gameloft, its time for something new (not only steal graphics from older games)!

    yep, looks similiar to asphalt5...however, i liked the grahpics there but the gameplay itself was toooo arcade. Guess they are combining the graphics of asphalt 5 with a racing sim handling which is hopefully on rail like NFS Shift <- the best racing game so far on the iphone.

    Agreed. Their only good racing games are the ones they made for ngage taco and qd and that was 5-6 years ago.

    well, with the money they now earned with the appstore (how many, 10 million paid downloads?) let's hope they invest in additional developers which understand how to implement real car handling-physics into a game ;)

    graphic is important, no question, but if gameplay sucks, the hole game sucks after a few rides. I don't want to purchase a graphic demo, at least not for 5,49 € :D

    ...or grand tour or grand touring.

    I don't think they use it as "Grand Turismo" which is trademarked by Sony i guess. Their other game is also called Ferrari GT.

    Well Gran Turismo means 'Grand Tour'.
    GTR means 'Grand Tour Racing'.

    So basically it's a race series of multiple events across different countries.

    Lot's of cars and bikes have GT or GTR in their name.
    It is usually an indication that they are fast :cool: :D
