A Yakuza 3 ad, an Engrish restaurant sign and … George Clooney? Gran Turismo 5 is an amazingly detailed game, though some of that detail on its Tokyo race course is a bit strange.
Reader Dean A. sent these in. Loads more images can be found here.
This sort of detail isn’t bizarre if you live in japan. They’ve got Leonardo di caprio selling tyres and Tommy lee jones selling coffee (as an alien trying to learn about humanity no less)
Yeah, this makes no sense. Like I get doing the billboards, but the bikes? And the park behind the fence that is actually rendered? I’m all for perfectionism, but couldn’t they have fucked that off and maybe tried rejigging those awful menus?

It does bring to light some sever texture detail differences though. I mean, some billboards are low-res, while smaller signs are HD… strange…

Time to make billboard = 1hr over lunch time.
