Jeff Staple was lucky enough to be allowed to lurk around the Polyphony Digital headquarters, watching the creators of the Gran Turismo series at work.
Even better, he brought a camera, bringing us a very interesting and rare inside look on the people behind one of the most popular gaming series. The photos below show some very interesting things such as 3D artists at work, desks packed with reference material and employees who love their work so much – they don’t even go home to get some sleep!
Furthermore, the PD team can be seen taken reference photos and sound samples, a process that’s done with every car in the game. It still is unknown when Gran Turismo 5 will be released for Playstation 3, the dedication of the creators is very much apparent though.

taking THAT detailled pictures of the engine bay and the trunk surely indicate quite an impressive damage model.

Or in the showroom the cars have their hoods & trunks open! Remember this is “the real car collectors simulator”

GT is really Pokemon with cars, and I mean that in a good way. It’ll never match PC race sims, but it’s a fun game. Though the game could use going back to GT2 for an example of addiction rather than GT4. There was some fundamental change between those. Can’t put my finger on it, but GT4 was just never as much fun.
