GT5 Beta?

[SonofUgly]

Is there a beta going on right now for GT5, because someone over at Gamespot said their friend is in it right now and he posted this pic. I've also heard of a couple other people saying their friends are in it.

 

[Kryz11]

Probably for some Online testing?
Or just the demo that it was at the show week ago.

 

[Peter]

Cool, i'm interested in this, possibly a GT5 demo?

What was GT5rologue then?? You'd think someone from the largest GT community would be a part of it? GTPlanet?

 

[RazzlDazzle]

Interesting, would be awesome to be a part of that. Too bad I never get any Betas, lol.

 

[Peter]

Demos, are free previews of what the future holds. GT5 Prologue is too big to be a dem, and is not free.

 

[FLASH48]

I thought GT5 Prologue was the demo for GT5?

I inspected the picture and it does not seem like a fake. I am not an expert tough, but I have some knowledge.

What can they be testing? I think they have tested the online races enough with GT5P.
The same goes for the driving.

I can think on anything else but new online contents, apart from the racing.

EDIT: Congratulations to the new member SonoUgly that brought this to us. Thank you very much for sharing.

EDIT: Maybe testing damage and collisions with 18 cars. I can not think on anything else.

A beta is not a demo. A beta is a test version of a game, usually released to a limited group in order to test online stability and work out last minute bugs.

I suggest everyone check their PSN account for any information on if they got in. I remember when I got into the Warhawk beta I didn't even receive an e-mail, it just showed up in my PSN account info.

Please don't confuse GT5P with a true beta.

 

[Peter]

It's real, other people are getting it as well

 

[sumbrownkid]

If the beta is getting released now, then GT5 must really be in the final stages before release. I just wish I had a wireless router with me, my PS3 has gone internetless for a whole week now...

Well, if someone really wanted to 🤬 with us, if you take a clear screenshot of another download, cover the icon with a picture of the GT5 logo, and stick Gran Turismo 5 Beta under the 'title' section, you can display that picture on a PC monitor or even a TV screen and take a picture of that at a blurry angle, you can make a really realistic looking picture. Now, of course I've never done this sort of thing, but it couldn't be that hard, right? I could probably do it in MS Paint. Oh, and I'm not just trying to shoot down the OP.

 

[silvermiata]

Where do you go in your PS3 to see if you received a Beta?

If someone knows of someone that is lucky enough to test the game, drop some info.

I knew i should've bought all the vids in GTTV

I read through the pages, and apparently they believe it's a hoax, as they said Prologue is 2.6 GB.

But the first post pic says otherwise.

 

[LSX]

But no one has proof of it, just "my friend" sources. Unless I missed something, even where you linked BS was being called.

Checking the properties of the photo it appears unedited, from a SONY camera model DSC-S650 almost two days ago.

 

[sumbrownkid]

The mind raping continues...

Oh sweet I'm a bronze member!

 

[Masi_23]

We need more screens for more proof!

 

[LSX]

We need a reputable source with first hand access for proof.

 

[sumbrownkid]

^Amar to the rescue?

Quick! To the GTPlanet Mobile!

TANANANANANA!!!

Edit: If a beta were to come out, I'm sure Amar would've known about it and told us cryptically, or just flatly said it.

 

[SuperShouden]

interesting...well..if this Beta reveals anything someone who's in it will have to reveal them to us.

 

[Peter]

Less than an hour and this thread has the attention of 37 users. I think it's real, and I want some of the action. Even better, a GTMobile Beta

 

[FLASH48]

They were talking about this over at Playstation.com, for a month already! I think it's fake!!

The point is how do you stick the Gran Turismo 5 Beta matching everything (font , angle, color...). Thats very hard.

Someone could do what the guy quoted above said. Capture the image, edit it, and display it through a TV, and then take the picture with a camera.

Yeah of course and it wouldn't be the first time.

 

[sumbrownkid]

So case closed on this one?

 

[Peter]

I just took a closer look, and it's fake. The GT5 logo is smaller than normal logos are in the bubble.
