GT5 Latest News & Discussion

[Lilday]

To be honest I'm starting to doubt that even Sony have a date. I think they're just going to get the game shipped out ASAP, if they had a date there would be no reason for them not to tell us what it is.

I apologise if this has been asked elsewhere...but what is the limit of the length of the randomly generated courses? Though some may find the idea boring, I'd like to just take a car for a long spin on a randomly generated stretch of road and experience the day to night transition and weather effects.

If you mean random track's made by the track creator the total length is 10km /6.2 miles.

I was just talking to a friend in NY and he tells me that they have been running TV ads for the last week and todays paper said in store Tuesday. Sounds like a mistake in the paper but it would be sweet.

They had ads in Target and Toysrus I believe for Nov. 2nd's release, I have seen a commercial at all though. Surpirsed no commercials considering I remember gt4 commercials, maybe they will come the weekend before it releases though.

It's Trial Mountain but take note of the double digit car count. Previous demo builds have only featured 8 cars on track.

I think we should get a prize for achieving a drift in the X1 Prototype.

Just hope these ships don't go anywhere near Somalia.

That's OK. They say that v3.50 firmware in GT5 is immune to piracy.

I lol'd. The best kind of comedy. 👍

Well, being as only one is even possible, I'll take the GT5 launch party. Jesus died almost 2000 years ago. Last I knew, it's not possible to come back. Please don't ruin this thread by bringing up conversations about made up people. 👍

Since there isn't much news I thought I would post a few stills from the brief video gamer28 posted the other day, I have some questions....

1) What car is that? I recognise it, but am having a brain failure.
2) Is this the first time we've seen a race modified R8?
3) Looks like a rally location, but somehow looks familiar, is it from a previous GT game?
4) What is the car at the front there with the triangular headlights?

Thanks

 

[JamboGT]

1, Zonda
2, Its from PSP intro and we have seen a shot on GT website showing standard cars.
3, Grand Canyon, PSP intro?
4, BMW GTR Race car.

 

[Alex p.]

1.SLR, Pagani Zonda
2.No, it was in GTPSP.
3.Yes, from GT4 and GTPSP, track is: Grand Canyon
4.It has not tirangular headlights, it is the BMW M3 GTR Race Car.
5.All of those stills show the GTPSP intro, it has not really anything to do with GT5. Thx anyway.

Edit: Tree'd

Wow that was quick, thanks! Zonda of course! Didn't realise the rest was stuff from the PSP intro, that's probably where i recognised it from.

A bit random a comment, but I always wanted a track day mode on a GT game.

The game places a random selection of cars on the track that just drive round and round with the AI making the slower cars pull over for the faster ones. As you drive round, you encounter slower cars yourself while gaining respect for the flashing headlights of a GT car behind you for example.

 

[JamboGT]

A multiplayer track day mode has pretty much been confirmed has it not?

It has, as far as I know even by Kaz himself.
Edit: No not Kaz himself but on the official GT homepage
http://us.gran-turismo.com/us/news/d5297p3.html

People in the lounge can even do free runs around the track before the race begins.

Imagine this: You set a time for a race using the in-game messaging feature, and wait for people to gather while you do free runs around the track. Your friends start to join, with people doing laps to warm up. Once everyone has arrived, it's time to race. Anybody not racing can watch the race live and chat with everyone else there.
