Many people will be dissapointed, doesn't matter what PD do with GT.
 
Random Internet person-avid Gran Turismo player:
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.

:lol: That's a pretty good imitation of KY! ;)
 
After reading the new interview i have a revised judgement on this:

20 environments 70 variations of tracks in the game

I feel this indicates that there will be more than 20 individual circuits. But including variations, the number will total around 70. So i think we will be seeing between 25 and 50 tracks, and the rest will be filled with variations of said tracks.

I'm still only 'expecting' 20 though.

👍 +1

That made me lol :lol:
 
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.
 
it's stupid to even think that there will be only 20 tracks !

lots of people fear that this gt5 is like gt3 , g2 had more content than gt3 because gt3 was done on new platform.

GT5 ISN'T GT3 AT ALL !

here :

gt2 650 cars - gt 3 just 150+

now funny part

GT4 (like gt2) 700+ - GT5 1000+

see what i mean ? if they added even more cars over gt4 then why they can't do that with tracks ?

not trust me enought ?

see next evidence :

today master track list :

High speed ring
Suzuka
Fuji speedway
Daytona
London
Nburgring
Tokyo
Eiger nordwand

That's 8 tracks that we can play today. 8 !! and 7 of them were showed over 2, i say one more time 2 years ago !

so not trusty again ?

ok that track we saw at randomtrailers.

Rally Toscania from e3 2009 trailer
Ferrari 458 trailer track (it's not same rally toscania but could be placed in toscania)
Toyota trailer track
Ferrari california Track (el cap ? )
TG test track.
La Sarthe ( Our gtplanet member confirmed this track with ky in pd studio )
Test track (always was in gt games)

it's 7 more

so 15 diffrent tracks total till now.

Do you think that they have wrc and nascar license for only one track ? Yeah i also think that they only add a little from licences. But one track per license it's still to little !

so we can expect adding 1-2 or 3 WRC tracks, and also 1-2 or 3 nascar tracks

so we have 17 minimum tracks till now, and 20+ with high hopes for wrc and nascar licenses.

see 17 ? and still i can add more !

what about drag racing ? in gt4 there was drag strip ..

so 18 at minimum now,

so where is ss ? autumnr ? where is laguna seca ? where is montegi ? (100% must be tracks)

and that's over 20 track for now

see my point ?

it's stupi to even think about only 20 diffrent tracks in gt5 !

And we also learned that KY ALWAYS don't tell true about numbers :)

Remember GT PSP ? 800 cars ? It's more like 850 + hidden cars :P

now next point ,

GT5P World map with temperatures on tracks around world. Why would he put this in gt5 prologue ? just for show ? so imola , monza, and rest of gt5p world map are confirmed.


uhh it was a long post , sorry for my ENG as always.. ;)
 
I think its pretty clear when Kaz says 20 types of scenery, that he means the 20 locations refers to the venue of a track and all its variations...

From a computer graphics perspective, scenery would refer to the rendered background and distinctive textures that would be associated with each location, the "look" that each location has; how many of you are able to tell a track by looking at the scenery?

My concern would be whether the "reverse" tracks are included in this total of 70...I certainly hope not.
 
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.

Because speculation causes more hype than any actual information.
 
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.

I think this is how it will be as well. 👍

My hope is that one location will be "Original tracks" and the layouts will include fictional tracks such as Deep Forest or High Speed Ring for that "location."

Maybe this is how the layouts figure jumps to 70, while the locations figure stays at a low 20. It's possible that they will include reverse as a layout..
 
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.
 
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.

  1. Suzuka - GP/East/West
  2. Fuji - GT/F/80's/90's
  3. Daytona - Speedway/Road
  4. London - Short/Long
  5. Madrid - Short/Long
  6. Paris - Opera/George V
  7. Le Mans - Curcuit de la Sarthe I/II
  8. Indianapolis - Speedway/Road
  9. Eiger - Short/Long
  10. Twin Ring Motegi - Super Speedway/West/East/Road
  11. Tracks by GT - Mid Field/Grand Valley/Trial Mountain/Apricot Hill/Deep Forest/Autumn Ring/Special Stage Route 5/Clubman Stage
  12. Tsukuba - Tsukuba
  13. Tuscany - Rallye Tuscany
  14. Cote d'Azur (Monaco) - Cote d'Azur
  15. Citta di Aria (Assisi) - Citta di Aria
  16. Costa di Amalfi - Costa di Amalfi
  17. Grand Canyon - Grand Canyon
  18. Nürburgring - Nordschleife/GP/Complete
  19. El Capitan - El Capitan/Cathedral Rocks Trail I/II/III
  20. Chamonix - Chamonix

20 Locations 48 tracks. Now add some more classic GT tracks or mix some locations (instead of Eiger "Swiss Alps" plus the strange road we have and the Swiss Alps rallye track) and we come closer.

EDIT: Sorry forgot one.^^
 
Just to add one more stick to this fire, we're also getting the Top Gear Test Track. Maybe with London Short/Long, we'll get Silverstone with its variations for a few more.
 
gt ace

i think it's still to little gt ace

where is top gear track or tokyo ?? ::>

top gear track

so it's 22 not 20 by your standards

i still think that he means something like this

COUNTRIES - TRACKS - LAYOUTS

so when he said (envrments, countries etc) he mean a country and 70 layouts

so

20 Countries - XXX Tracks - 70 Layouts


it's more like :

1 Great Britan
2. USA
3. Italy

etc

and you know licenses aren't for nothing i will shot myself in head if there will be only two tracks for WRC ... (only two are on your list)


ONE THING is sure about Kaz he will try to amaze us !

That's why he only uses tokyo track and he show no progres over demo from germany :)

SECOND thing i fear is the release date.

I don't think we will see gt5 in march or april, it's more late summer or early autumn.. :/

Why ? Just see the Exclusive Sony list for 2010 , Heavy Rain , MAG, GOW3 and all this titles will be released at beggining of next year.....
I don't see why they would wanted to ruin sales of other games... GT5 is big hitter like nothing on playstation 3.

oh final fantasy XIII also will be released in march i think...


ehh hope gt5 release date is near...

Better?
See, we dont know which tracks will be in the game (confirmed tracks are bold, something missing again? lol) and i seriously doubt we will get 20 different countries.

Or they're afraid to hype us up now, only to have it fade before the game actually comes out.
 
The Green Hell is the only track that i wan to take right now...

To be honest, if they put a patch in GT5P with the green hell ,20 new cars(minimum 10 racing cars) and a private online racing room where you can invte only friends to play, I can keep playing prologue and wait GT5 until March...
 
Sorry for posting it again: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showpost.php?p=3632347&postcount=698

Am i the only one who thinks this makes sense?
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.

I'm still hopeful that all the fantasy tracks from all Gran Turismos get an HD face lift and wind up on the Blu-ray at launch. There are no licensing issues, and they can use their artistic license to add all the detail they want without having to worry about closely matching any real world features. Surely that would be faster than reworking Suzuka, and I really want to see Red Rock Valley and Grindelwald in 1080 resolution.
 
@ 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 ? :>

@ Dave A

"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"

yeah alloooot of work but how is that possible to put 1000cars in game ? and gt4 had only 700 ? They added alone 300 more cars and god knows i just can't imagine why they can't do that with tracks. Are you realy people afraid of GT3 syndrome ? I also was a little disapointed after gt2 but.. gt3 was hell of a ride and gt4 nailed it better. I also feared generation gap with GT . I feared of gt3 syndrome and i can't see it. They have done fantastic job GT5 Prologue prove me that this time we won't get downgraded in content version of previous gt.

Yes i'm hyped (it's clear after reading my posts) but why i can't be ? I noticed after this long 5 years that everybody got some complex. It's 5 years people everyone of us is waiting and sometimes start complaining about for eg Online in gt, or lack of new features or no damage or et. I see your point and i see it diffrently !

Which of Full GT weren't a blast ? NONE. Everytime GT was released we started a loooong party. Still some of us play past gt games DAILY. Hell i even play gt2 sometimes, and gt4 almost 4-5 h a week.
GT5 Prologue is alone a blast. Prologue therm gave me some toughts. If it is Prologue and i'm having such a blast then what will be a blast with full Gran Turismo 5 ? Lack of futures i talked about is only a 1% only a small percent in comparition to THE feel of cars and such high quality and passion when i'm drivin bb512 or clio v6.

This feeling of driving, not just racing not just hot laping, is feel diffrent from previous gt games. In past gt games i didn't feel that kind of love for gt. In GT5 Prologue, PD have captured very essence of what emontion you will get if you will drive this car. In past gt games, there were lots of almost the same kind of feel cars. But GT5P changed it ! every car is so unique ! In past i always wanted to get slick tires for my cars.. and you know what ? I don't want that now at all ! I just love driving cars on N tires and feel of unique ability or disability of every car.

It's fine to have lots of futures like painting or crashing or online, but for me and i think most of us if you can't get fun by driving "your" car features mean nothing. So for me Kaz can Create new prologue version My own "Perkel" version where there will be no online no photomode no damage just 1000 cars and citta di arria track and nring. And i will gladly pay for it 600$ bucks and i will play it till new gt6 come out with next version for me with 1500 cars too check or recheck :)

Yes i'm hyped more then anyone here i think as i said but my hype isn't just from some mist of unnown features, track editors, online uncofirmed lobbys or team creators, livery editors, damage system etc. I'm hyped as hell for known reasons, i saw what cars in gt prologue feel like how they behave and how much work was done to recreating them and not just details, graphic but the feel of driving with this car. I saw and i feel how bb512 fun is, or clio v6 or f40, or db9 or tamora, and all 76 cars are, and gt5 will give me 1000 of them to try. And from 1000 of cars i hope i find more gems like bb512. I find next gem like bb512 and i will be driving it for a whole month and then again and again etc. This is a same thing i got with rfactor or any other racing sim.

.. that was hell of a post , and as always sory for my eng, i hope you understand what i mean. btw that was big off top ;)

ehh just few month till premiere... :) only a few months. I wonder if i have ever waited for something that long. If i get my copy of GT5 i'll be in sseven heaven... :)

IT seems to make more sense to me that its, 20 locations with 70 variations that seems quite self explanitory. It wont be 20 tracks.. There's already like 6 'LOCATIONS' in prologue and each one of them have different verations. The locations include

Japan
France
America
London

Those are locations and not tracks. So if every location had 70 variation we could have a very very large amount of tracks + layouts.

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.

EDIT: But countries? 20 different countries?
USA
Spain
UK
Germany
Italy
Japan
South Korea
France
Swiss
French Polynesia (Tahiti)
Monaco (Cote d'Azur)
EDIT: China (Hong Kong)

These are all countries from past GTs, now we could add some more for the heck of it, but which? Dont forget, it must be 20 at the end (and be realistic).

It isn't 20 countries, he's used the words "locations" and "different types of scenery", there's not going to be one type of scenery for each country unless the scenery is going to be very half arsed. I can see a location being an area in a country that may or may not feature more than one unique track and each of thoes might have different layouts, but I do not see Daytona, Laguna Seca and New York (provided they are all in of course) as being 3 tracks from 1 location. I see that as 3 locations and 3 different types of scenery.
