How do you know for sure? People are carrying on as if it's in there.

isamu...there is the ring:nurnburgring/norschleife...germany
and people are now talking about the "high speed ring"wich is an gt track wich doesnt exist in real life...:sly:
 
There are six tracks in the Prologue:
Eiger Nordwand
Daytona International Speedway
London City Track
Fuji Speedway
Suzuka
High Speed Ring

2 ways to race each (some reverse and others with different layouts), so that should make it a total of 12 'tracks'.
 
I wonder who's going to make the first video of the F2007? There's going to be people playing the game for days straight to get their ands on i and upload the video ...

Because only a handful of circuits have been confirmed as being in the Prologue: London, Suzuka, Eiger Nordward, Daytona Oval, Daytona Road and High Speed Ring. No Nurburgring.

And it'll probably be in GT5 given A) its populariy and B) Kazunori Yamauchi has aid he's always wanted to include it in the series.
 
But I suppose that we could DL all the extra material, couldn`t we?

I guess so, and I presume it'll be free - as all GT:TV materials were in JP game. But also be prepared for some hefty download-time due to size of those movies :)

Wasn't one of the videos exclusive to the BR version only?
Not that I'm too bothered about it, although some of the topgear stuff ect might be good.
 
Now I know that you have asked for no picture requests, but I promise to let you shoot me lots in COD4 if you can pop a couple up of pictures of the tuning and set-up screens. As I'm sure you know I've done a fair bit of GT4 tuning and want to put together some GT5:P specific guides, and a head start on the screens and values in use would be very handy.
Thanks in advance

No problem there buddy, I'll do it later today.

And since I need few headshots with SMG's and LMG's for my Killer challenges, you'll be more then welcomed in Cage matches these days ;)

Guys you will call me anxious, but I won`t wait antil 28th, I will DL on 27th, as I said some time ago, I will be sick on 28th, cough cough!!! I am feeling it right now...

You're right on spot there, however that particular video - titled "Beyond the Apex" - is nowhere to be found. As Online-test was up on Saturday - so GT:TV was also up - so I could access other 4 movies on disc, but "Beyond the Apex" was not there. Maybe the game will grant it access on 27th March in order to prevent youtubing it - which I can understand.
 
@amar....whas outside country for a while and cameback yesterday and went to check gtplanet.....it took me about 5 hours to read all the update news and all comments!!!!.....wow wow wow my head is still spinning from all the info man.....hahaha you are a legend amar!!........the thing i want to ask you is the sound and ride experience regarding the ferrarif40....i have been so lucky to have driven the f40 for 2 times in real life(once as passenger and once very very very carefully as driver!!)and can still remember every sound/ vibration /feeling of those experiences....so,can you tell me/us if the f40 really feels/sounds like that amzingly special and wonderfull car it is in real life.....????....maybe this question is a little diff to answer cause it just is something we have to experience ourself when we get the game at home....but i am just soooooo exited about the f40 i just had to ask!!!.....spyrrarif40.
 
Hey great job Amar, im loving these updates.

Just one question that you or maybe someone else could answer, when driving can you use the right stick or anything else to turn the camera around the car, like in burnout paradise??? Id love to look at the car while im driving it. I saw some in game shots of prologue which looked like someone was doing this with the camera, is it possible??? Thanks mate.
 
As for F40 sound, it's probabaly the best sounding car ever in GT series so far. But, as GT has never made car-sound "dirty" (as in TOCA, Forza or GTR games), there is not much mechanical-noise there (for shifting and such). However, F40 sounds realy amazing, even when you're driving behind it.

Also worth noticing is F40's gearbox - when you reach the limiter, gearbox doesn't stall - it just kicks back to pre-limiter revs keeping the torque high. So far, it's the only car I've see in game that have such attribute.

It's a beast nonetheless, especially after the QTS applied.
 
So, the GranTurismo franchise could get the F1 licence? This may explain why we've seen references to Spa, Imola, Silverstone etc as locations. Perhaps with GT5's release date being close to the start of the 2009 F1 season, maybe PD will release each F1 circuit as a download in time for that particular Grand Prix?

I've just pre-ordered GT5:P on Amazon, i was just going to wait until i saw it in Tesco's but now i need it asap!
 
hey amar212!
many thanks again for your efforts in updating us once in a while.
do you have information on how people in europe who buy the PAL blu ray version of gt5p can get their hands on that "BEYOND THE APEX" documentary the US blu ray version will include?

edit:
takes a while for me to type this text on my ps3.

cheers mate,sounds to me like im going to have a small heartattack than when i will play it!!!!.....:).....

I wouldn't really bet my money to it, since F2007 car is linceced under Ferrari's Licence in Credits.

Any FIA, FOA or FOM credits are missing so I wouldn't jump on conclusions there.

I thought the FIA/FOM held the licence to all F1 cars?
 
Hello amar, thnx for your informative posts !!! Can you tell us if they change the tire screeching sounds [compared to jp version] and can you make a video or a sound file of the f40, ford gt so that we all can enjoy the sounds of these cars.

many thnx

even if the license held by the FIA was over ALL cars, I don't think it would include cars not raced. I don't know really. But it would seem that if a car was not used during an FIA sanctioned event, it would not be covered under their license. So maybe Ferrari had a test car that was never raced and that is what the car in the game is modeled after. Just a theory.
 
to be honest im not that superexited about the f12007....i meen i am a diehard fan of f1 for 25 years now and follow every news(what a fantastic race last weekend in australia!!!!!)but i allways loved gt-series for the "normal" cars and the whole tuning experience etc etc.....as i am sure there will be a new f1 game for ps3 this or next year which will be everything you want as an f1 fan :all the real copys of the cars and drivers/all the tracks from the f1 season/etc etc.....so yes im exited about the f1 ferrari in gt5p but really only cause it is a ferrari and not so much a f1 car alone.......for me the most exiting thing about gt5p are the ferraris f40/512 /all the ford gt's(just my fav cars of all time)and last but not least the tuning/setting of cars (expecially later this year with the new dfpgt wheel!!!!!!!!!)......and i agree with amar about the licences for f1 in the game,think the ferrarif1 car in the game will not meen that we will get a full f1 field with f1 cars in gt5p or gt5.....see it more as a supernice gift from pd...lol.

Peter Moore (EA) said on his web page last week that Sony do still own the rights to F1 so EA wouldn't be able to release an official F1 game. Sony haven't mentioned an F1 game yet so hopefully they'll combine the F1 license with GT5.

Also, bear in mind that Sony still hold the rights to the WRC at the moment, nothing has been mentioned about a WRC for this year either so Yamauchi may finally get his dream of GT becoming the complete driving experience...hopefully.:)
 
I was excited about the F2007 being in Prologue. Its basically verified beyond doubt that we will have F1s in GT5. IT has always been a "sketchy" possibility that we could miss out and not have them in 3/4/or 5 since its a hot topic when it comes to that ghastly old money hungry coot that is Bernie E. I loved the F1's in GT3. Drove the nuts off them trying my best at super duper Lap times and i still have them recorded in lieu of GT5. Now for which i know will have at least one F1 car so that is all i need. But my dream now is for more F1 real world tracks. :)

Can't wait to buy GT5P now. Hopefully here down under, it wont turn up late due to rough seas :). I'm not real sure where to pre-order/buy it from... hmm
 
Amar212: Have you tried to turn on small/large theather (dynamic range) in the sound option settings and crank up the stereo? I got all scared when I drove my Ferrari afterwards. In a good way that is. Wheelspinning, braking and accelerating sounds are just spot on. I do miss some collision sounds (they are very dull).

Hi mate. Has the full hand steering animations been included yet? Steering wheel visually turning more then 90 deegrees each way?

This still bugs me. It seems its taking a lot more work to get it implemented then first thought.
Why so much motion capture of guys walking around the garage, but not one of the most important visual feature in the cockpit? Strange...
Please, someone push Kaz to finish it!
