GT5 at DigiExpo

[Dave A]

Interesting, it still doesn't tell us much. I'm wondering if there's a loss in translation and he's talking about custom(sound) tracks being unlocked ala GT PSP. Or if he is talking about creating tracks as in race tracks then is it going to be a basic editor lining tracks out of cones for example or will it be a full blown track editor.

 

[Stonemonkey]

Is this just something he said off his own back in the video or was he quoting something from the GT5 presentation?

Hmmmm, quite.

 

[Denur]

Very interesting indeed, especially with Amar's 3rd wind:

Third tale says that for the first time ever skypaths will not be just solid and already known but that new skypaths will be built by birdtamers from the parts of existing skypaths.

-He said the game is going to be released next spring.
-He said this is the newest code from a Japanese Game Show. (Tokyo?)
-He confirmed the Track Editor at 2:25 by saying "You can make your own tracks."
-"Online is going to be huge in this game too."

Is the Finnish word he used for tracks the same word that would be used in sound/music tracks? (sorry I have no idea how these things translate)

 

[jereweeti]

rata = track, circuit
kappale = song, track

And he used 'rata'.

 

[Gejost]

Be tight lipped and vague.

As always.

-"Online is going to be huge in this game too."

Sweet! Although they mention so little about online. But then again, there is so little mention about almost everything.

Track editor, if well done, it's an amazing stuff.

Would be even more amazing if you can play those tracks online.

Perhaps a option to join lobbies with custom made tracks.

 

[Zimmerd]

I still don't think there will be such thing...
It's just the Finnish dude doesn't know anything about it...
Like GT5 folders that say the release date is still 4th quarter 2009...
Bet we know more than he does.

 

[Raitziger]

There have been track editors in many games so there is no real reason why GT could not have one. Track editor would be the one thing that would make GT "step out of the box".

 

[Stonemonkey]

Rally stage generator that generates tracks from player options? That would make a lot of sense to me.

 

[ralph89]

The game Rallycross back in PSone days has track editor, really fun to use. I wonder where is at now. Hope I didn't accidently threw it away .

V-Rally 2 on PSone is the one I was thinking about I think.

heh, and the DC apparently.

If the editor would be implemented, like Amar said, the tracks might be playable online. They just take parts of existing "skypaths" and combine them in a new way. Every player allready has all the tracks and combining them in a different way is something that wouldnt cause too much traffic, because there is just little information needed to tell the other Playstation consoles which parts have to be used and in wich order.

My English is bad, but i hope you understand what i mean.

 

[rofajole]

If there's a track editor (which I REALLY doubt) GT5 will be the greatest drifting playground ever! hehe

 

[CarBastard]

Very helpful 👍. Although here, rata means big ugly mouse .

 

[evilfoxhound]

I can almost hear Turn 10 quickly trying to create a half-assed track editor for DLC.

 

[jonathansp]

Thats gonna be so good... I had a tingle up my spine when I read "Gran Turismo 5 track editor confirmed at DigiExpo".

 

[G.T.Ace]

A proper track editor would be like a dream come true.
amar said they demoed a feature and Yamauchi denied it will be in the game, the only feature he ever denied was a track editor...

 

[Kryz11]

As long we can create up to 10 miles of road, I will be happy!

 

[888 Tuning]

You wouldnt be happy if we could create tracks 5km long that were graphically as good as we currently have ?

 

[Worst_Driver]

As long we can create up to 10 miles of road, I will be happy!

A 10 miles long drag strip, flat out until your engine explodes.

Anyway I will believe in a track editor when I'll making one.

Eeeeesh it's been a long time since I played V-Rally 2. I forgot how awesome the soundtrack was! I'm gonna have to go track down some mp3s of it now so I have my custom soundtracks ready for GT5 rally races 👍

 

[Sele1981]

Awesome news! I´m sure there are very talented guys out there who can build some fantastic tracks.

 

[kohanson]

wow, this is great news if it is true. If there is a track editor, we will most likely see all the tracks in the world in GT5 and it will be cool if we can share the tracks online and allow ppl to download the tracks..

 

[Timppaq]

Very, very interesting... Could you put his words in context, Timppaq?

Sorry I missed your post, Jordan. What he says:

"Sä rakennat tässä uraa ja ajat kilpaa, ostat uusia autoja, varusteita jne.. Kehityt paremmaks, pystyt tekemään ratoja, kilpailet sitten muita vastaan tuolla verkossa. Verkkomoodi tulee olemaan ihan järkyttävän iso ja suosittu juttu. Virtuaalikilpa-autoilijat pystyy sitten keväällä kilpaileen toisiaan vastaan tässä realistisessa ympäristössä."

=

"As you build your career and go further in it, buy new cars, accessories, etc.. You become better, you can make tracks, then racing against others online. The online side of the game will be quite massive and popular feature. In spring, the virtual racers can race against each others in this realistic environment."

But as I said, I won't be holding my breath, he might have meant something else even when those ARE the exact words he used. You just never know from these guys... And also it was quite hard to translate into english. He doesn't have the best mannerism in his speak (sorry Suman).

 

[Hubbe]

I still won't believe it until I have a retail copy in my hand.

 

[Timppaq]

Me neither.
