I wonder if they will use GDC to show off the RALLY cars more being mainly a European Series/Show and use TGS for the Super GT cars?

Don't want to sound like a wiseacre, but it's GamesCom or GC, don't confuse it with the Games Developers Conference "GDC".
 
As of yet we have not seen almost any footage of standard cars. I would love to see some footage of various standard quality cars, especially a quick scroll through all the views to get final verification on cockpit view, a quick slam into the wall for final verification on damage modeling, etc. etc.

except it's not, really anymore. The fact that only two manufacturers are running in the WRC kinda shows that. The other manufacturers have moved on to the American and Asian Rally Series. There is where you'll find Subaru, Mitsubishi, Peugeot and the others.
 
Can someone create a list with all the questions? Since many GTP memebers will meet up there, why not have a list of questions to ask if there is a PD staff is there. A list can help out a lot and really clear up some of the most wanted questions that are always forgotten to ask.

Example.
Q: Will GT5 offer Night Racing
A: YES!

but forgotten question is
:Will all locations, circuits, tracks have night and day racing?


So its best that over this week we make a list of great questions, and then break it down into to the most wanted ones. Because we all know there will be 1000 plus cars, that 200 plus cars are premium, that standard have no cockpit view etc etc.. so lets ask something we all really want to hear.
 
Q: Day/night on all tracks or just specific ones? If yes, dynamic day/night and weather on most tracks or just specific ones?

Q: Can we race premium cars against standard cars in career mode/online mode?

Q: Full G25/27 support? (custom button layouts/full clutch support?)

Q: 100% confirmation that standard cars will not support cockpit view of anykind?

1. Dynamic time cycle will be on all tracks not just Toscana
2. GT5P had complete custom button mapping

1. How do you know? What if they are using upscaled GT4 tracks with prebaked lighting?

2. I don't have my G27 yet but I remember someone mentioning that you couldn't customize the buttons to whatever you wanted? I know the controller supported fully custom button layouts.

1. I'm sure the other tracks will have this dynamic day to night cycle as it would be stupid on PD behalf to have such a feature for just one track in the game, PD only displayed it on Toscana cause it was a new track and it had a nice scenery.

2. yes I'm referring to the controller sorry for the mistake.

3. also they have redone all of the tracks that i have seen from 3 and 4, Special Stage Route 5, Nurburgring, Etc.

Gonna have to make a round up of all the questions post them in op and make a copy for whenever I get there :embarrassed:

I agree with you, but that is still not comfirmation that all tracks will have dynamic day/night transitions.

I'm aware, I was merely backing up Organ-Donor who seemed uncertain. ;)
Thanks 👍

Awesome, it is appriciated!

I have a list of "obvious" questions I've prepared - and translated - for just such a circumstance (clearing up standard/premium interiors and exteriors, locations/variations, LAN mode, day/night, weather, skidmarks) and one or two less than obvious ones since everyone will be asking the same thing.

If you have a less than obvious question, please feel free to submit it to me - either in this thread or, if you think it's ground-breaking enough, PM me.
 
Dont forget us worrying about multiscreens?

Q. FM3 supported multiscreens, just like GT4 did with PS2. Can you confirm GT5 will include multiscreen racing both off and online?

Unfortunately this hasn't been released yet for the responses! A dictaphone might also be a good idea although you do have a knack for remembering stuff.

Personally I would like to know what was up with the job ad they had on their Japanese site looking for part-time staff with "gamemaster experience". It was specific about online play. Seems they found their employees since the ad no longer shows up.

But I highly doubt they'll got into such detail.

Personally, any question that sheds a light on TopGear/PD collaboration would be fun to hear answered. TG just started on German TV a few weeks ago, so maybe they be happy to actually answer a question on that topic.

In the "reality vs GT" feature, Jeremy said he got sent a memory card holding all the cars unlocked, PD worked together with TopGear filming staff, and so on. How has this come, how has it evolved and what input (if any) had TG on GT5.
 
I would like to have a question asked on my behalf. Will each car have its own leaderboard on the time trials like GT5P or are their too many cars/tracks to have this.


I will add that I can't believe some are still asking about LAN. Blimey last time I played against my mates using LAN was over 5yrs ago. This is the whole purpose of GT5 being online isn't it.

Again, this comes down to having friends. Online is ok, but being in the same room sharing drinks and reactions is far superior.
 
Just got my shirt design I did for Gamescom delivered and took some pictures, seems people are interested in buying it so I'll upload it on my spreadshirt store soon, just need to ask permission to Jordan first :)

Just need to pretty it up a bit for it since it's quite simple but I didn't have much time to work on it.

Also, forget about people visiting the showfloor on public day to ask questions, the people who are there are clueless about the game, anything you can get from that is just footage or checking for things unconfirmed with previous build of the game. I tried last year and it was clearly a lost cause unfortunately :P

I've created a thread for this (and, err, other reasons) - please submit in there.

As for LAN - we have a GT4 LAN every 6 months. Playing people on the internet has its merits, but also its flaws. Besides, 6 drunk people racing in the same room is pretty funny.
