Man, I love tenuous references...

Hmmm, GDC in March (9th to the 13th), eh? I don't suppose that's too long before they were planning to release in Japan. I hope we do get something.

It's 14 billion anyhow.

Oh, yes, my bad. :ouch:

I think he is talking in Earth's history terms. Not the universe. Either way, you are both correct.

Yep, was confusing the figures as in German billion isn't the same as billion in English.. but yeah both figures are right. :)

So, you want a co-op online career mode? Or just to be able to have all career mode races online?

I hope you see the difference in the genres between racing games and something action/adventure oriented and why no racing game, to my knowledge, has attempted that yet.

See, RE5 has you, as a player, working alongside a friendly character which is controlled by AI when in single player. A co-op campaign just gives your friend control of that friendly character. You still fight against AI controlled Non-playable characters (NPC). The experience between co-op and single player is minimal in gameplay, other than your friend is able to respond to what you want/need differently.

A racing game has no friendly character controlled by the AI. In essence an online career would be you vs other people. That means that my experience in career mode would be different from your, as would everyone else's experience. There is no set skill limit that must be overcome to progress.

Now, if they did allow you and a friend to create a team and the two of you raced against the AI (just like the two of you fought AI-controlled NPC zombie/infected in RE5) and as long as one of you came in first it counted as progression for both of you.

The only way they could tie a single player career mode to online without risking an imbalance that prevents certain people from being able to continue would be what has already been in Prologue: Online winnings count toward your career mode winnings. If they removed the limitations of online access from being unlocked in offline (maybe had you level up to certain online events in some way, like based on lap times, rather than wins) it would have made it so that the offline career was pointless, for online loving players, because all it allowed you to do was unlock more offline races and win money for cars.

The question some need to ask in that concept is: Do you race the GT Simulation mode because you like accessing new races, or because you like earning money for cars? If it is just about money and cars then what I suggest above will be all that is necessary.

All that said, an online co-op career where you form a team would be fun. I would love to bump draft to the lead at Daytona, or block a challenger trying to come up on my team mate.

Yeah, I see what you mean, online carrer mode would be kinda complicated, but I don't think it's impossible... maybe they could make it so that once you finished (won) a "mission" you can't do it again (online), so others get a chance to progress? Having teams would be cool too, of course.

However I would love to have a online career and to answer your question, yes I usually only play GT mode to get money/ cars, but that's mainly due to boring A.I., so that might change, they could have offline GT mode leaderboards for example, where you can try to improve in certain races as often you want maybe, then I sure would go and try that, too.

What I did by far the most of my time in previous GT games was to set a laptime with some very fast supercar equipped with SIMULATION tires (was that N1? can't remember) and then tried to beat that time/ ghost with a low powered car, but equipped with racing tires ( usually R5) ... that was so fun to do, I hope there's something similar possible in GT5, on and offline.
 
We really need something. Pointless threads and pointless arguments. We need something good to enjoy.

I bet we'll just be in the dark until one more official GT5 trailer again at E3 and relive 2009 all over again
 
I understand they want to keep secrets, but this much info doesn't give hope to anyone. I wonder at what point Duke Nukem Forever stopped releasing info
 
Don't even say that. Don't even say it! It's still coming out! I know it is! They've been working for so long! :scared:
 
I was watching this today and thought dang, the Nurb we have seen looks just like it! :dopey:
But man those curbs are pretty tall, tall enough not to want to ride them.
I don't recall GT's Nurb having curbs that high

I was trying to make that point earlier in a Forza thread. The real Ring has very aggressive rumble strips/curbs. Forza 2/3's are greatly diminished in comparison. Anyone who has been to the ring can see this. Yet they were not convinced, even after being to the Nurburgring themselves. Some people need glasses more than others, me thinks.

You believe you're right just because some agree with you, & all the rest who say nay are wrong. I'm not surprised. :rolleyes:
Shame I'll just have to scroll past your posts from now on.
 
wow that video feels very intense and aggressive..

it would be cool if GT can do that same rooftop view and have the camera rumble along with the car. also that engine sounds crazy, like it's about to break any second, very raw.

GT already has the roof cam on replays
That car has 2 motorbike engines joined together to form a high reving V8 :)

Scary, but easy to believe at this point.

The curbs seem the same like those in GT4 to me. Maybe almost non existing suspension travel of the Radical gave you this feeling but I remember driving over them in cars like Formula GT or Mazda 787B was very scary and they unsettled me almost every time. Production cars don't do that, they are ready for such bumps.
 
I don't know if this interview was already posted.

http://translate.google.com/transla...mauchi-om-gran-turismo-5-interview&hl=en&sa=G

It's dated 11 Feb 2010. If any danish guy can supply a better (than google) translation it'll be appreciated.
It seems a mixture of past and new information ...

Eurogamer: Now that the Prologue is published, how will you build on it - directly towards the development of the full version of GT5, is more or less step?

Kazunori Yamauchi: There will be a second major update to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue before the full game is fully developed.

[RoadRunner] A second major update? We have SPEC III...

Eurogamer: So in this way is based in the final game, a part of the corridor, which continues forward?

Kazunori Yamauchi: We are not necessarily played in small parts. . But we had some minor things that were not færdggjort in GT5 Prologue, we would like to add along the road. These could be better community features buddy lists, and similar functions - and then we will also add a damage model for the game.

Kazunori Yamauchi: ... there will be added numerous features to online component. . We will add many of the necessary functions, such as being able to create its own motoring clubs inside the game, or to create his own racing team. . It's things like this, where users can actually interact with each other, as we continually want to add.

From what i remember in GT4, the were modelled high, but the car never reacted realistically to the bumps so it was easy to ride the kerbs.

I don't know if this is the case from what we've seen of GT5 so far.

👍

Even so, I think that was a very basic flaw in GT4's physics, it contributed towards the ability to run 'Ring times under 5-6 minutes because you could ride the kerbs and effectively cut the corner. Even in LMP cars where the cars body would hit the kerb before the wheel would.

I knew it!!!! more prologue, its obvious.
 
"Now that GT5P is published!" Is the present running with a 2 year delay*. :lol::lol:

This is old stuff. There ain't going to be a Prologue update people. Wake up.


*actually that will explain a lot :lol:

Yep, it's old.

Also, damage wasn't even confirmed when the interview was taken.
 
Sorry guys. I suppose it is a hoax. This danish site is not reliable. Other web forums are saying so, they took very old news. I don't really know where the fun is in behaving like that.
I knew it stinked... 'A second major update to prologue' was a no sense...

I could think of a few ways to have some sort of leveling up kind of thing and rank limiting for public races that would work. It would be interesting to see if they could do something, but I do think comparing it to something like RE5 is a relatively poor comparison.

While using a DFP in GT4 I found the curbs to be quite scary, but didn't notice as much when using a controller. I haven't attempted, or been able to, give a similar comparison to other games.
 
That 'Ring vid makes me pine for dynamic night and day in GT5. Racing on the 'Ring with the sun low over the trees casting long shadows and the orange/red sky shining on the track :guilty:
