    I kid ._.

    But the story:

    Polyphony Digital has announced theyll be showing off a special version of Gran Turismo at Sonys Dramatic 4K Experience in Japan.



    The game will be running at 4K resolution, the new video standard which touts four times the 1920×1080 resolution of current HDTVs, and is powered by four PlayStation 3 consoles.

    Sony and other electronics manufacturers are hoping the future video standard will drive new purchases from consumers, and the PlayStation 4 itself is widely expected to support the high resolution.

    Astute Gran Turismo observers will recall this actually isnt the first time Polyphony Digital has shown this technical demo of their game running at 4K; in 2008, at the DownShift 2008 session celebrating the series ten-year anniversary, a copy of GT5 Prologue was shown at 4x HD resolution, while another was running at 240 frames per second.

    The Dramatic 4K Experience is open to the public and can be found in the OPUS Communication Zone at the Sony Building in Tokyo throughout the month of October.

    Thanks to all of you who sent this in!

    I.. don't really care much about Gran Turismo at this point, but I'm all in for the sh1t and giggle this thread will eventually bring.

    So what say you? PS4 launch title? BS? something in between to be released some time before we all die? Oh and it's called "Dramatic 4k Experience". Wtf

    Sony before launch PS3: You can play with 2 tvs at full 1080p 60fps Gran Turismo. Now: You need 4 PS3s to get full HD experience in the next GT. Just joking fanboys

    A true gamer is going play all the good games no matter what platform, Even on Phones.sig

    This reminds me of how they showed off what GT4 would look like in 1080p back in an E3 demo. They did it for a good 15 minutes and it didn't impress anybody.

    I've been looking around the net. I cant find any lead that connects four PS3's together so i can play at 4k resolution.
