"The NEW PS2/GT3 advert!"

Anyone seen it yet? It was on Sky One between Buffy and The Simpsons - somewhere around 7pm.

It's an advert for the new 'limited edition' PS2 & GT3 pack.

There are clips of the racing (as you'd expect) but then it switches to the external view, and the car pulls over to side of the road and stops at a very scenic point.

The other cars fly past, and then it all goes quiet, except for birds chirping...

Then it comes up with something like 'in GT3 it isn't only the cars that look good'.

Very amusing - well done Sony!

good innit?

My brother watched and recorded it, and told me about it later. As a result I have now seen this new advert. Nice one.

what one? have u seen both of them. i saw them both last night. the trees one and the handbreak turn one. they both look really cool to me.

I've seen the ad. It's cool.

i use the handbrake more in other GT games.

It depends on your style of driving and your car setup.

In my own experience, the handbrake is most useful if you use automatic transmission and the 'racing' setup (as opposed to 'drift').

With manual transmission, even on a 'racing' setup, you can use well-timed gear changes to deliberately get the back end out and 'drift' around certain corners. With automatic transmission, you can't do that - so the handbrake comes into play.

But as I said - it all depends on your driving style.

GT3 is no ordinary game though. And it is Sony's first triple A title (whatever that means:-))

sony dont ussually make that many adverts for one game.

I've seen two versions of the ad: one with the Vanquish that stops and you hear birds chirping, and the other with a Viper skidding in the rain.
I wonder how many more versions they have up their sleeve...
