Either way, I'm prepared to be blown away at TGS![]()
It's the old blitz D1GP car from GT4I've been trying to look for some livery evidence, just for speculation purposes. Other than the video at post #165, this has grabbed my attention.

That Skyline looks crazy. Seems like some sort of special paintjob or customization. Though it might be from a tuner company.

This is what I think PD will show at TGS:
-Weather in some form (dynamic or static).
-TOD effects in some form (dynamic or static).
-A more refined and realistic damage model with better collisions and more details on mechanical damage.
-At least a handful of new tracks.
-Our first looks at the new online mode (private room, clans, leaderboards).
-Our first look at the layout of the "career mode" (in short its huge).
-Some freakin sweet gameplay and maybe a trailer.
-Different game modes in detail (rally, Nascar, drift etc).
-New cooler cars (super cars, muscle cars, tuner cars etc).
-Our first look at the customization system (a very detailed and deep tuning system, some "body kit" upgrades will exist for certain cars but not all, some form of livery editor but nothing as deep as Forza).
-No release date but a release window (late 2009 Q1 2010).
I think most of that is pretty reasonable. I mean I could realistically see all of it happening. Its more than likely only about 60% of that will happen but even that is still good. TGS has never really let me down as far as offering GT news so I do not expect this year to be any different.
If PD really wants to steal its competitors thunder it could announce GT Academy as a yearly competition and will take contestants from all countries. Buy GT have the chance at becoming a real life racing driver... hmmm I wonder how that will go over...
This is what I think PD will show at TGS:
-Weather in some form (dynamic or static).What would a sim be without a properly simulated environment? Weather is a must have! Rain/snow in HD= OMFG:tup:
-TOD effects in some form (dynamic or static).Yes, we need this too. Night racing would look fabulous.
-A more refined and realistic damage model with better collisions and more details on mechanical damage. In time I think it will be perfected. Damage isn't a priority for me, though.
-At least a handful of new tracks.Yes, like Silverstone, Monza, etc.
-Our first looks at the new online mode (private room, clans, leaderboards).Maybe we'll see it. I don't count on it, though.
-Our first look at the layout of the "career mode" (in short its huge).This would be very revealing. I sure hope it doesn't stray too far from the older titles. However, Kaz says it'll be more like GTMobile
-Some freakin sweet gameplay and maybe a trailer.A trailer of a Lamborghini please
-Different game modes in detail (rally, Nascar, drift etc).For sure. I'm ready to get dirty in the mud.
-New cooler cars (super cars, muscle cars, tuner cars etc).Yes, bring it on! There are many new cars we need to see in HD.
-Our first look at the customization system (a very detailed and deep tuning system, some "body kit" upgrades will exist for certain cars but not all, some form of livery editor but nothing as deep as Forza).Even if it's less deep than Forza, it's a start. There's nothing better than putting your personal attitude into something like a car. It's just a great feeling.
-No release date but a release window (late 2009 Q1 2010).Definitely. I'd expect something like this. Otherwise, I think PD is behind schedule.
SrRd,
I think at a minimum I think we will be able to toggle day/night and weather effects. Like the Ring at night or the ring at day etc. I know for a fact that would not be all that hard to implement.
I do not think we will see snow unless it is on a snow track. There may be a snow storm or snowy weather but I do not think we will see 16 player races on The Ring in the snow...
haha, nice!
I reckon we will see snow in the WRC e.g. Swizterland with changing weather effects ( sleet & rain with slush, cold fronts maybe ).If the weather effects, are downloaded live from weather stations we might see a lot of different weather in the game ( that's if GT5 can simulate all of it ).I wonder if the track tempretures will be relayed back to us before the start of a race ( that effect governs your tyre choice right there )
Stupid question: What the heck is TOD? I know Tod from Scrubs but other than that...This is what I think PD will show at TGS:
-TOD effects in some form (dynamic or static).
