Gran Turismo 5's "My Home" Online Features Announced

At the Sony TGS 2010 press conference, Yamauchi gave a brief overview of some of the new online functionality in GT5 ? including web-based account management known as "Gran Turismo Anywhere". Here's a quick overview of what he said, via 1UP's live blog. I'll provide more specific details when they're available.

overview of Community Functionality: He says they haven't talked much about these features before. But from the My Home section of the game, you'll be able to access Messages, Logs, Mail, Profile, A personal lounge, photo album, course album, gifts and a friends list.

Messages can be 140 characters. Man Twitter has really taken off in Japan. It's even influencing GT5.

You'll be able to access the my home from the My Home section.

I mean you'll be able to access the My Home section from the web.

There's going to be a live timing monitor, something called PS3-B-Spec accesible from your browser.

Project "X1 Prototype"

He says that there are rules and regulations in all forms of racing. What would a car that didn't have to worry about those rules look like?

Showing a movie of the X1. It looks kinda like a Batmobile.

So the X1 will be in GT5, and that's it for the game.

Yamauchi says this is their third presentation -- E3, Gamescom and now TGS.

A new course for GT5 is Laguna Seca -- rebuilt for GT5. Another new course is Trail Mountain.

The night track is the Circuit de la Sarthe. It looks exactly like it does for races.

There is the Volkswagon Kubelwagen -- designed by Mr. Porsche. Another is the VW Schwimmagen, which can drive in water. Also designed by Porsche. Sadly, this game won't be in the release of GT5.

Another VW is the Samba Bus.

Today, they are going to show us a Gran Turismo Rally

1:28

It is not a simply dirt time trial. Every time you play, the track will change

1:29

The special stages are automatically generated. You can hear the voice of the navigator!

1:29

Yamauchi is going to play a live demo

1:29

He goes into the special event section.

1:30

And has selected the rally.

1:30

The number of special stages is determined by the level you achieve.

1:31

The course was generated just now.

1:31

And Yamauchi is off!

1:32

The voice of the navigator is audible.

1:27

The game has a series of special events like Karting Experience, the AMG driving school, The Stig Challenge, Jeff Gordon NASCAR School, Sebastien Loeb Rally Challenge, Gran Turismo Rally

1:34

Now, we are onto the in-game weather changes. The game has a dynamic weather system. So weather temp, pressure and humidity changes. Surface changes also change along with the weather!

1:35

The weather conditions are randomized. You will get a real forecast, but it will only be a guideline.

1:37

If it is wet, you'll be exposed to water sprays from the cars in front of you.

1:37

The weather system is only used for tracks you want to use for endurance races.

1:37

The courses you create in the course maker will be compatible with this.

1:37

Now they are showing a trailer of the weather mode. Lots of snow!

1:38

Slick rainy streets.

1:38

You think GT5 has great looking cars? This is great looking weather!

1:38

Now, driving at night -- during the day, dusk and dawn.

Yamauchi says that the complexity of the project is reaching the Apollo scale, but they are almost ready to launch.

1:45

Someone is asking about putting motorbikes in GT5.

1:46

He says if there is enough demand (once the game is done), they would certainly like to do it!

Being fair GT5 is now a year older than that thread but honestly I don't think even the most hardened 360 fans doubted that GT5 wouldn't be something special. Just don't think many quite imagined the whole scale of things that PD have done with the game.

I know I know, just having my fun :p

I just hope this shows the very small percentage of people who accused PD of doing no work/twiddling their thumbs that Japanese developers just don't parade around like developers in the West. They keep their mouths relatively shut and just get on with the work.

This game is going to crush my social life, and I don't even want to think of what's required to get a platinum trophy laugh.gif

Time to get the GF convinced she's buying me the signature edition.

Sadly it's my g/f's birthday the day before release, so i'm already getting stung that month. Think i will end up with just the collectors edition as also paying for flights to Cyprus over Christmas/New Year :)
