On the Tokyo track... In the distant background, will we be able to see Godzilla romping and stomping around with Rodan and Mothra flying around?
Kazunori Yamauchi:
Things like that I can't really discuss yet, but I will say this much. Technically it's already possible to do in the game, it's just how we're going to have that have meaning in the game.

I don't see why more details cannot be given out. Is Sony afraid people will forget some of the features by April of next year? I suppose they're afraid to hype us up only to let us down with bad news later.
There are 20 locations. meaning Laguna Seca would be one location. Le Mans would be one location. New York would be one location, Daytona would be one location.
NOW, for example...Le Mans would have the current circuit, the old circuit (no chicanes), and the Bugatti circuit....now that would be THREE (3 tracks)...Daytona would have the Oval track, and the road course for two tracks.
Now, will they count the reverse of each as separate tracks? I do not know.

Am i the only one who thinks this makes sense?
Indeed. But a lot of locations would only have 1 circuit, some without any variations, which seems a bit silly.
And this raises the question of what 'location' the original circuits will be in if its countries or cities etc. Maybe just 'original circuits' like before.
If i'm wrong about this whole track thing.. when GT5 comes out.. I'll do 2 laps of The Green Hell at 40 km/h.

No you're not. I think the 20 locations means exactley what it is, a location what a track or a series of tracks are located. If you look at some of the videos so far, specifically the E3 trailer and the 458 trailer, we can see an example of at least two tracks at one location. I think locationa will be made up of 1 track and multiple variations and more than 1 track with multiple variations. In a similar veign to your Paris analogy, I think we have already seen this, in the E3 video we see a rally track in Tuscany, then in the 458 video, we see a road track that also appears to be in Tuscany. This would imo be at least two tracks in one location. I think that some people haven't really considered that the inlcusion of proper rally tracks could significantly boost the track count while appearing to keep the number of locations low, for example we may get 5 different rally stages or layout variations in Tuscany alone, then a road track or two with say 3 or 4 variations each then we could get another 5 stages somewhere else, for example near the Eiger track, then the Eiger track itself. I would not class Laguna Seca and Daytona as one location because they are both in the US, because they would not be built around the same scenery set. But I do see the possiblity of one location using more than one track. I think eac "scenery" will mean the distant background will be the same and/or the tracks will use the same sets of scenery objects, ie the same trees, building etc. I don't think we will have as many unique tracks as we had in GT4, they simply take a hell of a lot longer and more work to create to these levels of detail.Sorry for posting it again: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showpost.php?p=3632347&postcount=698

I dont know, it was just an example. Maybe they will put all the fictional tracks in to a "Tracks by GT" category, never mind the real world location, this would make space for more real world tracks. I dont know.@ gt ace
soo no laguna seca for gt5 ? :> it's bad
it's to little man, only 5 places and only 4 counting seca for whole new tracks
are you sure that they will show only 4 unshowed tracks ? :>
