GT4 was a huge change from GT3, it was indeed a bespoke product built from the ground up. Nothing was carried over from GT3.
 
Got a question.. in all the game play videos I've seen its got Time Limit on the right of screen. what is this?
They're all show demos and they give each person a set time limit to trial it.

I suppose it's just easier then trying to drag somebody out of the seat after 8 hours. Having a time limit instead of a lap limit probably encourages people to drive faster too which always helps when people are recording on their camcorders for YouTube.
 
20 tracks with some 70 courses. That's still just 20 tracks to make and another 50 to cut out of those.

I think you are wrong, i think there are 20 locations and 70 tracks (i dont know if includes layout or not) 70 tracks is more than enough, cuz there are forward, reverse of each track:sly:

One of the things lost in translation. Some are confident it'll be 70 tracks from 20 different environments (they've never said 20 tracks with 70 variants, using terms locations/environments though).

I don't think 20 tracks alone is practical in a game with all the different series GT will have.

This one question always has me wondering what PD are hiding.
Although the hype would be amazing if they actually had 70 tracks in 20 locations, not including variations. I'm still thinking about this track editor speculation, if a track editor does exist, then theoretically PD statement is correct.

20 Locations
70 Tracks
A lot of variations by means of a track editor.

Anyway, nevermind, its still 20 locations, 70 variations.
 
Search youtube or google videos for CES 2010, you get decent vids of Heavy Rain, MAG etc., but the only GT5 vids are the one where they nearly forgot about it at the end (The one that revealed the Mclaren F1), the IGN 3D glasses fail, and a 4 month old trailer. :yuck:

Cmon, this is what , the 2nd/3rd day of CES? And only IGN bothered to make a video dedicated to GT5, and they failed epically.

20 tracks with 70 total layouts from those 20. Just like forza where Sliverstone has like 5 or so different courses, same for road atlanta and so on. That's what I got from what was said.
Is 70 tracks from 20 environments different from what I said?

Which could easily mean 70 tracks. GT4 did locations, didn't it?

20 tracks just doesn't fit with Indy, Nascar, WRC car-sets. As well as all the other ones.

@ dave - See above.

Of course, I could end up eating my own words, but it just seems a step back. GT4 had ~40 tracks, + variants of those tracks. Why would they take a step back on a far more powerful hardware platform?
 
the 20/70 locations, environments, tracks, variants argument has not been resolved, you just have to wait until they make an official announcement i guess.
 
what am I looking at? This honestly confuses me. How can you have 20 locations with 70 tracks without the 70 tracks being variations of the original 20?

1 location could be England.
England could have 5 tracks.
The 5 tracks could each have 3 variations.

Just to make the issue even more unresolved.

Locations could mean anything.

The chair i am sat on is a location. The inside of my nostril is a location. The world is a location. The universe is a location.

It could mean anything; it could be 20 tracks, it could be 20 cities/regions, it could be 20 countries. We just don't know. The 70 figure could be variations, but if so, the actualy number of circuits is likely to be around the same as GT4, but with Nascar and WRC added it doesn't make sense, 20 is nowhere near enough and 70 seems a bit optimistic. The general consensus is its somewhere between 30 and 50. But nothing has been confirmed other than the number 20 and the number 70 which on their own mean nothing :indiff:

Like i said, its been discussed many times before...

So disappointed:grumpy:
 
Do what I do and message them asking for gt5 footage. The guys who made the video with Mclaren F1 video said they would try for me. It's better than just waiting.
 
KY said "all GT4 tracks will be in GT5" and i think that GT4 has about 20 or 30 tracks, so it`s impossible to see a GT5 with only 20 tracks.
 
So far so good for GT5 in 2010. This year there has already been confirmed:
IRL licence :D
Weather (Kaz said they might not implement it into the game last year but thank god he did) :D
First pictures of night racing :D
Mclaren F1 :D :D :D
Improved CES 2010 demo :D
Brussels demo??

This is the first 8 days of 2010 and we still have 357 days left. I tell you this is the year of Gran Turismo. This is Sony's year. This is the year of PD.
GT5 is definatley being released this year........... I hope :scared:.

I can probably wait another 10 months, then I'll crack. Imagine if every day was like the past couple of days, our heads would explode. Only thing I don't understand is, was it Polyphony's decision to do this unveil over the last 3 days or was it sony? Did PD finally have enough of holding back information?

I've also got another question: Does anyone know if OPM had the full game to preview or was it just a little improved demo version? Because like I said earlier we've had the first night photos and the exclusive reveal of IRL. It'll be interesting to know that the full game now exists and people are now previewing it for themselves. Also on the front cover PEGI has rated the game as 3+. Can they only do this if they look at the whole game?

Nice Post

I think OPM had the full game because they talked about the damage and stuff but not so much the weather if I remember right but correct me if I am wrong and I think pegi must have to review the full game to give it a rating

Cheers ;) I too thought that PEGI needed a full review or a full test of a complete game, as it would seem stupid to rate a demo or a quater of it. Perhaps in the next coming months websites and journalists will get their unwise hands onto the new messiah of driving simulation. They will probably make silly videos of a Dacia Sandero going round Eiger Nordwand :lol:, instead of creating a masterpiece for us GT5 nerds by showing a Mclaren F1 LM (maybe, not confirmed............ yet) vs a Koenigsegg CCXR around Spa or the 'Ring. :crazy:

By the way these posts take ages to write. :lol:

Well if someone has reviewed it and gave it a 3+ there must be a PEGI reviewer with some juicy information that we need

Exactly what I thought, as we hunt for GT5 we must find this reviewer, they would have to try every single car to see if it was to violent to control, that would have easily put it up to a 12 or 15 or if the Gallardo was to sexy because it is too close to real life, easily put up to an 18 :lol:. Also they must have discovered every single grain of every single track.
 
Whether it is a real Pegi rating depends on whether that is concept (virtual) box art, as some concept box art puts on the expected rating in order to finalize the design.

And that looks a lot like a design on a virtual case, not an actual image of a physical case.

In all honesty, a racing game that purely uses closed tracks in oviously controlled environments (no non-racing traffic) and avoids questionable lyrics in its soundtrack is almost guaranteed the lowest age rating.
 
If you read it it says that they wen't to Sony's studios in Santa Monica to play the game, my take is that they played a test version probably with limited content and I doubt they got a look at the GT mode since it wasn't mentioned.
