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 :)

Ouch :p

Also, to reinforce my point earlier, anyone remember this?

"So, props to Kazunori Yamauchi-san and the PS1 team," said Greenwalt. "That said," he continued, "I feel that he's passed us the baton. Perhaps he hasn't meant to, but we have taken the genre to new levels and they've stopped evolving the genre. So again, tremendous respect to him, but I'd say the differentiator is they're old school." He conclued, "The emperor's naked, and I don't want to, you know, I don't want to slap him around, but no game competes [with] us right now."

Ehhh Turn 10 pwnd. laugh.gif

Up through GT5p, Turn 10 did pwn the GT series. With GT5 final, Turn 10 just got pwnd.

Especially with this info:

Here's a quick overview of what's been discussed in the TGS 2010 GT5 breakout session:
  • Laguna Seca has been completely rebuilt and will return for GT5. Trial Mountain has also been confirmed.
  • "Gran Turismo Anywhere" will allow you to manage B-Spec races, right from your computer. You'll be able to hold B-Spec races with your friends from anywhere in what are called "Remote Races".
  • GT5 will feature a series of special events such as the Karting Experience, the AMG driving school, The Stig Challenge, Jeff Gordon NASCAR School, Sebastien Loeb Rally Challenge, and Gran Turismo Rally.
  • Point-to-point rally stages will be automatically and randomly generated – you'll have to depend on your co-driver to give you the best instructions about the road ahead.
  • Rally mode can be played either on or offline.
  • Weather changes include temperature differences, air pressure changes, and humidity, affecting the surface conditions of the track dynamically.
  • Weather conditions are randomized. Forecasts for your race will be available but may not be entirely accurate, just like the real world.
  • Polyphony Digital has helped Red Bull Racing's Adrian Newey design the X1 Concept – an "ultimate" racing car, free of any technical regulations.
  • Polyphony Digital has worked to improve engine sounds.
  • Yamauchi admits that, in certain situations – such as standing race starts in the rain with 15 other cars on the screen kicking up spray in front of you – the game may not be able to hold 60FPS. Otherwise, it will strive to hold 60FPS as often as possible.
  • The Volkswagen Kubelwagen, which has a drive system like the first beetle, and the amphibious Volkswagen Schwimmwagen will be in the game.
  • Many things didn't make the cut in Gran Turismo 5, and work on Gran Turismo 6 has already begun.

Yamauchi admits that, in certain situations ? such as standing race starts in the rain with 15 other cars on the screen kicking up spray in front of you ? the game may not be able to hold 60FPS. Otherwise, it will strive to hold 60FPS as often as possible.

Boo!! :( lol I think that might be forgiven as long as it's not a massive drop though.

I task all the current racing sim devs this generation to try 16 cars on a track in dynamic weather at 1080p/60FPS locked :p

Some dips in situations like that are okay as long as they're not jarring.

Yeah I know, I was just messing, I think even getting what they are achieving out of the PS3 is some kind of miracle but certainly looks to be showing what it is capable of given the time and budget.

GT5 just backhanded the entire Turn 10 team.

Yeah looking back at that quote, I guess sometimes it's just better to keep quiet. PD might have been oldschool in previous versions, but this has brought pretty much everything and more to the table except livery editors.

Turn 10 had no choice...F3 beat GT4 of course, but its not fair to compare it against GT5:P, because it was afterall just a big demo.

"Gran Turismo is a great game and when it comes out I'll play it. But I think that without the partnerships and without the commitment, it will be very difficult for another team to replicate what we've done."

Now on to Forza 4 :)

Already posted that.

Sony are releasing the GT5 assets tomorrow, so no HD trailer until tomorrow :(

HOWEVER, whilst we wait on Sony, Red Bull have a new trailer for us ;) Shows off weather.

:woot:

Ignoring the quality of the video, GT5 weather looks to be really impressive.

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.

Please don't bring that trash into here, a joke or not, it will just rile up Forza fans and could easily lead to pointless arguments, and all you've doing is gloating in the same way that PD haven't been. :p

But I'm not Japanese and GT5 is very gloat worthy ;)

I agree on both counts, well, unless your like some weird Scottish Japanese Guy and haven't told us, a little gel and that hair of yours would go all Final Fantasy.... :p

Anyway, don't annoy them Forza fans or we will have to deal with the backlash in our nice little topic.

Well, to be fair, I'm a hardcore Forza fan, but I respect all sim racers, and GT is and certainly has been a huge name in sim racing for a long time. I'd be a fool to say that GT5 isn't impressive, it certainly is, but rather than look down on Forza fans, I do believe, coming from someone who respects a game for what it is, that it would be wiser and much more mature to just realize that Forza 3 cannot be compared with GT5, on any scale. I wish all the Forza fanatics who start arguments over these things would realize the same too. I believe sim racing is the ultimate test of skill and patience in gaming, and Forza and GT manage to do that the best out of all the sim games. Rather than fight over which one is better, it would benefit us all to just see ourselves for what we are rather than what specific game we play; sim racers.

Anyway, that's my nice little epic rant, back on topic, GT5 is looking great :).

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
