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.

well I know its not a virtual case as they made a box art before the PEGI rating and after because I've seen two different boxes, one with just PEGI put on it and one with PEGI 3+

Now that is a good point 👍. Only thing is wouldn't the rating put on the box art actually represent what the rating really is when the game is released?

I'm still confused about that, sorry.

@ Ranko_SD I saw that picture earlier but thought nothing of it :dunce: the image is amazing. I can point out a Lexus behind it but that is it. I see some more behind the Lexus but they are to far away. The main image of the GT-R (V-spec?) is striking.

I know the EU has PEGI to rate games, and USA has ESRB, what i mean it`s why EU cover has a rating and why US Cover not have a rating yet.

Because ESRB might be more in depth with there review or they have just not got round to giving it a certificate yet

I wasn't aware. That would definitely indicate that it has likely been rated by PEGI then.

If you visit an EU site, the box art has a PEGI rating, but if you go to the US Gran Turismo Site you can see RP (Rating Pending)

And of course this brings up a whole new discussion regarding how PEGI rates games.


The ESRB (US ratings board) is independent of government regulation. They are a voluntary industry ratings system. As such, they can and do hide much of how they rate, who does the ratings, and so forth. However, some supposedly leaked information says that they do not have to see the entire game (not enough time and resources for every game), and the raters often are not playing it themselves, but watching it be played by people that actually have game skills, since the raters are switched frequently and limiting them to only hardcore gamers capable of beating any level of any game is nigh on impossible. Also, ESRB ratings do not apply to any user-created online content, so livery editors, Forza-like storefronts, etc. do not need to be included in a functional manner.

Keep in mind that all that I just described are based on leaks, and any of it can be incorrect, but if true can point to how a rating can be available now.


Does PEGI require the full and completed game? If the version they get lacks, say night or weather effects, or just a bunch of car models, but does contain the entire soundtrack and low res versions of all visuals then it is surely enough to give a rating to. It is a closed course racing game, and as long as it is clear that there is no visible violence to humans, there is no inappropriate advertising imagery (alcohol, tobacco, adult), and the soundtrack is free of offensive lyrics (mild lyrics seem to get a pass) it could easily be reviewed without a final copy being made.



All of that said, we are less than three months away from the JP release date. I would guess they are doing beta testing of everything now as they likely need to go gold by March 1st to meet the physical production and shipping schedules. So, they probably have a test build that can be used by ratings boards.

The ESRB rating may be going slower, or the US version is still a while off. They may also be holding off on an ESRB rating as the ESRB's attempts to provide more information have led to quite a few spoilerish descriptions this past year.
 
If the damage was really good you would think PEGI would give it violence because theres possible harm to the driver and therefore give it more than 3+

Well Forza 3 is a 3+ but I'm not sure on their damage system seeing as I haven't played it yet.

The doors do not fall off and neither does the bonnet and boot

That just goes to show the time and precision that PD put into their cars if they model the interior to that extent whereas T10 just stopped at the outside of the car and the drivers view. But seriously do the bumpers even hang off? Is it only scratches to the paint work?

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.

I don't remember ever seeing any interview where he said that, can you provide a source please? I'll be chuffed if every track from GT4 makes it in :D
 
Wikipedia can be updated by anyone. Whoever put that in there is guessing. And it doesn't match what Kaz has said however you interpret it.
