Okay so it was obvious this was going to happen but the HD version of Gran Turismo 4 that we saw at E3 is the next iteration of the series and not GT5.

Seeing as GT3 was just a fancy GT2 the fact that they' re pulling the same stunt again is laughable.

Saying that, the game DOES look stunning and will run in 1080p and at 60fps and will support 12 (instead of 6) cars on the track and will have loading times of around 5 seconds.

Obviously the only way to achieve those things is to simply upgrade an aging PS2 title but if the content is the same, Forza 2 and GTR could provide some really quite serious competition to the driving game crown.

EDIT: Added 2 official 1080p screenshots. (note that in the 2nd the crowd looks terrible)
