I like that the caption is "X1 at Suzuka".

fail.

 

[Fido_le_muet]

Exiting the swimming poll complex.

Yep, that's it

 

[Denur]

That's not Monaco, nor does it look like Valencia. I think it is Track Creater fictional city track.

 

[Khaddar]

Just for reference, i wasnt trolling. Saw the thread on gamefaqs and linked it, GUTTED that he was a troll :-(

It's ok, I was referring to him, not you

 

[CCX]

Wow, Monaco is w i d e. Doesn't seem right to me.

It's always been wider than real life before. Remember it's not Monaco exactly, just a copy.

 

[DG_Silva]

is it monaco?, i'm struggling to pinpoint on the course where it is. at first i though its the right to left hander after the chicane. but it looks odd. and the car looks really small ....

Car does look absurdly out of proportion to the track, but it is the second part of the Swimming pool section, after the first left-right, going into the right-left before Rascasse.

Definitely Monaco. You can see the swimming pool just behind. And the hill leading up the the tunnel in the background.

That part of the track looks wide because it has tarmac run off, but there is a curb just to the left the car has to aim for.

 

[joelstinton]

also coming out of the tunnel, (right hand side of the pic) it rises up significantly before the road elevates back down... which is not right at all? the tunnel is in that direction from the swimming pool complex, but shouldn't look like that. maybe im wrong.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

So has anyone actually heard yet what Sony talked about during thier 20 minutes today?

That is totally Monaco. Look at the boats.

I don't know if I understand you very well, but are you not mistaking this for the Beaurivage section?

It is Monaco, no doubt about it (we can see Beaurivage, the buildings at the tunnel exit, and the typical hills in the background).

Edit: found picture

 

[Griffith500]

Looks like Monaco to me. 👍

Didn't know they were chatting.
Is it GT related, or any old Sony stuff?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Regarding the release date, should it really take this long? I mean, make a few phone calls, schedule a meeting then give us the new date. Shouldn't take more than a couple days.

 

[joelstinton]

It's probably best if you ignore what i say haha. what i meant to say was, the road that comes out of the tunnel section of the track, in this image, elevates quite significantly, when it shouldn't, it stays level and then descends into the chicane.

but yeah it looks very much like monaco, the buildings, the boats, the swimming pool all suggest it is, but i just been thrown by the wide corner, the absurd porportion of the car, and the tunnel features. but as some said above, its just the game designers interpretation.

edit: i have just mistaken the tunnel for something completly different. Fool! ha. it fits that panorama perfectly.

I believe the game designers interpretation is very correct. I think you may be mistaking one road for another. As for the track width, the pictures I sent from this karting competition may put things in perspective.

The link provided by Griffith500 even shows a better picture.

I think it is that easily, IF the game is finnished. They are simply just not finnished with it, and therefore we wont get a release date again in a couple of months. That's what I think ...

IF there's no date, they can't announce anything.
I think Kaz said he only Expects it to release, not definate in any regard.

Best not to get any hopes up eh.

 

[MacAl]

At least F1 2010 Patch could have been released before the weekend. These days are quiet hard for racing fans...

 

[FLASH48]

If we don't get a release date by Sunday, i think we are looking at 2011 release. Just my 2 cents.



ps. I can feel my blood pressure going up already!!

PD was late getting the final build to the printers. The game is finished.

I hope they won't finnish it, I don't want any polar bears on the track

The thing with that statement for me is to my knowledge that is not an official Sony statement. I may be wrong though.
I thought it was from a 3rd party source.

I've not seen a Gold announcement. Only things said to paint a picture that it's finished.

I even jumped on the hype train last night and there was no stopping me.
I'm getting off next stop.

 

[XEPEGTP]

Y'all know what I just thought of...remember Sebastien Vettels name and national flag being on the X1 he drives, what if hear me out now, our name and selected national flag will be written on our racing cars?

It would work for our R-modded cars but might be conflicting when it comes to official series cars like old rally cars, jgtc\super gt nascar wrc etc..

 

[syagre]

Plausible. Like the possibility to define your avatar's appearance.

 

[Goldrusher]

Having the winner's national anthem play at the end of an online race, like in Trackmania Nations, would be a nice touch.

I think it was KY that said this. Regardless, no one ever said it was done or has gone gold. They simply said they missed the production date by 3 days. How do we know it wasnt 3 days and counting.

If it were simply a matter of finding a new production slot I would think we would have a new date by now.

 

[dantiney]

Mediamarkt gets the game at 18 December they told me.

 

[eSZee]

Minor "spoiler" in the article? (mark to read)
It’s the first and fastest car that players of the eagerly-awaited Gran Turismo 5 video game will drive, but we unpixellate this dream machine and give you the maths behind Adrian Newey’s automotive creation, the X1...

WHy is no one talking about that last comment?
Does that mean upon starting GT5 we'll be put through various tests or are they going to do a FORZA(with the r8) where you start out in a race.

MediaMarkt is a major electronics retailer here in The Netherlands for anyone wondering...
You can compare it to BestBuy
