Additonal Info:
Kazunori Yamauchi, creator of Polyphony Digital’s multi million selling Gran Turismo series, has hinted that the upcoming fifth instalment in the franchise may contain several visual enhancements over its predecessor, GT5 Prologue.
Speaking to videogamer.com, Yamauchi commented, “In terms of quality we've been able to establish a benchmark in this version, but I think with GT5 there will be additional refinements, perhaps to the lighting and maybe the weather... weather effects."
He also said that the gap between real-time computer graphics and non-real time computer graphics is something that he feels the team will strive to overcome at some point, adding, "Real-time computer graphics are about 10 years behind non-real-time computer graphics like you see in movies.”
"I think that gap is what we'll be trying to fill in the years to come."
Recently, Yamauchi also confirmed that car damage is to be implemented in GT5 Prologue by way of a downloadable update, possibly as soon as fall 2008.
Stay tuned.

That'll be cool.
Whoo, GT is getting even better.
Lol is that possible?
Hmm. Interesting, and here I thought GT5P would do me :P
GT just keeps getting better and better
C'mon, give everyone else a freakn chance!
wow. my eyes would be bleeding of pure REALITY! lol. haha
So will GT5P be patchable for the better lighting/etc?
This game is currently impressive. I have no idea how it could get better, but realistic weather FX is good. Massive car damage would be cool too.
And watch it cost money. Ha! Serves you all right.
And I had this guy at my school who said that they already have achieved max. performance on the PS3. Haha! I laugh, I laugh!
Hmm.. sounds great. Im also hoping Polyphony Digital (After they finish GT5) work on a rally game. That would rawk
psn id: gingo.... i think the track surroundings can be increased very slightly on graphics but theres no way the car can get any better they already look as good as real cars
I just still can't believe that the full verison of GT5 is at least another year away.. I was really anticipating a Late 2008 release date. But I guess GT5 Prologue will just have to do for now and I know I'm getting it in April when it comes out in the U.S.
How much better can it get? Ha.
They should work on the environment some more. the cars looke bad-ass, but when I see a 2d grass template just sticking it, it kills the mood. I haven't played GT5P yet. Just based on screenshots.
what exactly are non real time computer graphics?

@Muzikguy - He means pre-rendered animations... think animated movies like Cars, Ice Age and so on.
