Gran Tourismo 5 (2010 release<subject ot change>)

[j.o.s.h.1408]

i understood that he started from the pit lane, just wondered what the hell was going on? If it's qualifying why is he going into the middle of the racing pack, and if it were a race why would it be just the player that starts from the pit lane and joins the pack racing round????

Just seems a little odd, unless you can save the game during the endurance races??

its probably just a demo showing the pit lane animation and then a bit of racing.

bored of waiting ..... but looks awesome.

there are going to be a few good games in march f1 2010 is out too

why unlikely? the game is maybe 70 complete and maybe thats the only bit that they can show that doesnt contain any bugs.

I doubt thats how all the races start. i mean come on man lol

UNLIKELY

who said all the races start hat way. GT has has "challenges" in it where you have to start form certain places on certain tracks and either get certain lap times or pass a certain number of people certain certain certain certain

so its not unlikely that this is another example. ferrari pits, other cars barrel through, has to retake the lead

so why is soemone questioning how bizare that video is when according to you, a similar starting scenario in challenger mode from previous GT games is apparent?

So the game's made by someone who thinks the Ford GT is the best car in the world. Heaven help us.

That's looking good, glad to see weather taking a part in GT5. And mabee we'll see bigger grids with the indy cars?

Glad i got a PS3 now.

[MadduckUK]

watching, waiting , not beleiving till kaz says it in an interview or some official press stuff....

[ufop]

been waiting long enough for it!!!!
the main reason many of us got a PS3?
wet weather racing should prove to be interesting especially if the weather really changes during endurance races!

[j.o.s.h.1408]

watching, waiting , not beleiving till kaz says it in an interview or some official press stuff....

Its official mate otherwise it would not be in the official playstation mag. Its also all over the internet too

[MadduckUK]

wont get excited by the weather bit till we hear the word "dynamic" before it

day-night cycles will be great

1000+ cars is expected but still great

indy cars are fluff for yanks, same as nascar. hopefully not too many of the 1000 are those, and rather than all new cars they also fill "fill in the gaps" they have with older cars too.

still no word on car customisation/personalisation. doesn't have to be anything like forza, but with online mode games its doubly important to make it feel like "your car"

the best news is the news we have had for a while now though, THIS is the year of GT5

[j.o.s.h.1408]

GT5 news galore

Polyphony Digital have conveniently published their own independent and specific confirmation of the features we’ve been learning about via media outlets over the past two days, thanks to one big update to their official site. In addition to what was already discussed here and here, this is what’s new:

* As confirmed in a footnote on the Japanese site, the 800 “standard cars” in the game will not have interior view or high-beam headlights (new video standard cars here, thanks Paskowitz).
* NASCAR pit crew’s actions have been specifically re-created.
* All cars will be able to “roll over” if involved in an accident.
* Damage may “not necessarily be applied to all races in the game”.
* You will be able to define your own password-protected online races with your friends, and you’ll be able to control all of the event’s regulations.
* “You can host ‘Track Days’, where everyone can drive freely on the track. You can try to shave down your laptimes, you can teach someone how to drive, or just enjoy drifting.”

Vehicular damage was also clarified:

Physics-Affecting Damage
This is damage in which the physics simulation is affected by alignment deviations, etc. This is damage that affects controllability, and the car may not drive straight, or it might become unstable in corners, etc. depending on the amount of damage. Affects all cars.

Dirt, Scratches, and Dents
This is damage that can be visually seen, and involves dirtying of the body, scratches and dents. Affects all cars.

Separation (dislocation) of Body Panels
This is damage in which body panels are dislocated from their original positions, or deform. Affects
only premium cars.

At a closed door meeting during this year’s E3 conference, Gran Turismo franchise creator and Polyphony Digital founder Kazunori Yamauchi gave a few more details pertaining to his latest installment.

Though the game we recently sampled was a close-to-production version, it’s still not finished, the car-crazy executive said. Startup times are promised to be shortened from their current few second leads. Even some fine tuning of graphics engines is expected ahead of the game’s November 2, 2010 release date.

As you probably know by now, Yamauchi-san and his teams are some of the world’s most meticulous people. Just look at GT5’s details and you’ll understand. There’s so much detail, in fact, that the game’s BluRay is almost completely filled with data. Exactly how much is left wasn’t revealed.

Among the exposed details are:

-- Two types of cars: Premium and Standard --
- Over 800 Standard cars; mostly gathered from the franchise’s previous four editions.

- Madrid and Tuscany took 2 years to complete
- All graffiti on Nurburgring was recreated exactly
- Sony of Europe did delete any profanity
“While racing the 24 hours of Nurburgring, you can smell people’s barbecues -- we couldn’t recreate that.” -- Kazunori Yamauchi

-- Photo Mode --
- 2 Modes: Race Photo and Photo Travel

- Race -
- Take photos of cars racing

-- Photo Travel --
- Situate vehicles at prescribed locations
- E3 demo includes: Kyoto, Japan; Italian countryside; Red Bull Hangar 7
- Full replication of real world wind, weather, and sounds
- Allows for Full Manual and AUTO mode usage, just as with professional DSLR cameras
- White Balance, focal length, shutter speed, F stop, etc.

-- Online --

- Community connectivity allowed
- Each user gets a “My Lounge” to connect with fellow racers
- Once in lounge, users can chat, watch racing, race each other
- Lounge can be password protected for certain friends
- Every user gets a viewable profile that shows game progress, status, and ability
