[TGS] Gran Turismo 5: March 2010 in Japan

[+Audioboxer Subscriber²]

nobody on any forums talks about that, it'll come out when its ready, i dont see anyone crying about it not coming out this year.... gt on the other hand is talked about daily

gt is sonys big title, has been in production for 5 years and is still going to miss the christmas timeframe? might as well come out with prologue 2 demo and release it in christmas 2010, wouldnt suprise me

The only past GT releases to make Christmas were

GT1 (Japan only) - 23rd December

GT2 (Japan and North America only) - 11th, 23rd December

Every European release has been after Christmas, along with the rest of the Japanese/American copies not listed above within Q1/Q2 of a year. It's never really been a Christmas title.

The game will sell well whenever it's released. It would've helped move more PS3s for Christmas, but as a software entity it'll sell no matter what month you put it out in. It's Sony's Halo or Modern Warfare, doesn't matter what month it releases in it's going to move copies.

In other news, :drool:

Mercedes SLS AMG cockpit gameplay (60 fps) and replay

Animated pit crew is a nice touch!

Green Lotus Espirit spotted in a video (first time confirmation of car I think)

and it looks like they are starting to add damage to non racing cars, albeit just scratches and scores for now, no body deformation.

and for reference, car earlier in race

Or else it's just a bird **** on the car :laugh:

From chespace, the Forza community manager

The 458 Italia wasn't playable but I did see it in the screensaver mode on a big monitor and it looked damn good. I tried the SLS build and crashed the car repeatedly with incremental damage texture results (scratches and scrapes on fender and hood) but no model deformation that I could see and no doors and hood popping. I could be wrong and this car could have full damage but I crashed the hell out of it for a few minutes and all I saw were textures for scratches. The SLS did have a cockpit view. Makes me wonder whether or not it'll be like this for the full game where there will be 1000 cockpits and some cars (race cars) will have 3D damage while the remainder will just have texture damage with no deformation.

Textural damage is better than nothing on the non-rally cars, as long as every crash from every car affects your driving.

If true that's probably one of the reasons for December to March, there definitely wasn't texture damage at E3 on any car apart from racing cars.

edit: The SLS is the mercedes above by the way.

What a joke

New Mini popped up in another video with what appears to be the first indication of a possible livery's

On the UK GT site, the list on the Japanese site has been put up, and it says GT5 the release has been announced as March 2010, but doesn't mention that this was Japan only.

Clarification please...

Gamespot is going to tour PD offices tomorrow, hopefully some more info

On Saturday, September 26 (in Japan), GameSpot will be heading to Polyphony Digital to check out more of GT5 and talk with series creator Kazunori Yamauchi. If you've got a question or two about the game, put it in the comments below, and who knows, we just might be able to get it answered on your behalf.

Most of that it's easy to tell what's real life/game, but there are a few bits that trick you for a second :p

Not really related to TGS, but a cool video comparing GT4 to GT5 on the same circuit/with same car.

Shows how decent looking a game GT4 was, but also how good GT5 looks :)

Photos snip

Wow they really run circles around Forza with that lighting. They just freakin' nail the light. Thanks to that lighting alone these cars look much more realistic. Forza ones do feel still a lot like plastic which I hate :(

All the journalist interviews/visits to PD that went down on saturday are embargoed till Monday, even Gamespots, but here's some pics from it

^ Someone thinks the blocks might be the start of rain

lots more here - http://www.gamespot.com/special_feature/tg....html?image=310

This place is no joke. From having one of the largest server processing rooms (and cools Kazunori?s wine collection), an elevator that lifts cars into the studio, to a hotel for staff to sleep ? Polyphony Digital is one of the most interesting studios I?ve ever visited.

Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi says that there will be even more features in the game revealed later, including PlayStation Eye camera support.

Yeah the lighting is the strong point of PDs engine, check this replay from GT5 Prologue

Glad I raced out and got a PS3 to get this game, which STILL isn't out... now that they FELL over 60% in their value, AND the game still isn't out I feel ripped off. Kinda the same feeling with the PSP, 6.8 rating on a Gran Turismo game?? wtf sony?!

Get used to that feeling.

... that office. W-to the-O-to the-W.

So anyone clock the Zonda R on the last page?

Check this car out, it's a beast. Listen to those engine sounds :| Hope it's in GT5!

... that office. W-to the-O-to the-W.

Yeah the office has been detailed before, it is absolutely nuts. There is genuinely a hotel in the middle of it lmao :laugh:

no offense, but you ran out to get a console for a game that didn't have a release date?

Bit silly don't you think?

[Ricardo Gil]

:huh: Didn't we all?

[TDQuiksilver]

:huh: Didn't we all?

No. Most of us ran out to buy a console with an assortment of other games to play as well. ;)

[Unrealistic]

Can't believe you've never heard of a Zonda before Audio. Phake enthusiast. :)

I love seeing my own car on these replays. It reminds me how beautiful she really is (Evo).

[AbandonedTrolley]

Pretty certain the Zonda was in GT3/4 can't see why they would have lost the licence for it.

You can't say things like that Boz, you'll cause a riot!

This is the one thing that GT5 certainly has over other games, the graphical realism is second to none. Nothing comes close to it in my opinion on consoles. I'm sure a high end PC could possibly wipe the floor with it, although looking at some vids I would wonder.

It's a BIG disappointment with the release date, but thankfully will still have a few big games coming out before then to see us through. Not long now till Uncharted 2 hits! :D

Yeah I'm pretty sure there's not too much difference between textures, well, obviously GT5 Prologue runs at a higher resolution, but the lighting makes things look worlds apart at times,

720p HD comparison video of Forza 3 Demo/GT5 Prologue with same cars

Keeping in mind that's prologue from 2007, GT5 vids above already look better and they've fixed/improved a lot, especially in removing that annoying tire screeching :laugh:

GT5 will win the beauty contest, but they've got to improve on the engine sounds/physics/damage to catch up on Forza. They say they are, we'll need to wait a bit longer to see.

Wait, Prologue is the bottom one right? Or the top one?

[Sethos]

God I hate when threads are plastered with pictures and whatnot, when you scroll the the bottom the page slowly irk upwards as everything loads ( again ) so it takes like 20 seconds before you can actually get to the last post.

Bottom ones.
