GT5 Latest News & Discussion

[analog]

Umm sorry but i dont understand hillbilly jargon.
Either way they are not 100% real tracks like Monza, Susuka and what have you. in other words "city circults" are not necessarily real.

Which of the tracks he mentioned are city tracks? And what makes a real city track any less real than any other real track?

 

[Traviizter]

Well, when you look at GT5P you can see that new features (such as cars) can be added fairly easily, although GT5 is a whole 'nother beast altogether.
It shouldn't differ too much though... right?

 

[spunwicked]

Your last sentence describes my stance on the matter. I agree that it makes sense to include the these new tracks on all modes, but that would be too good to be true.

As I said, I am hoping for the best, and the best being GT5 Spec II, even though it in all likelihood won't happen.

This is what I am betting on, although not in the immediate future. I remember buying GT5P almost immediately after release and found myself very disenchanted with the game. I left it alone for a couple of years and by the time I decided to give it another go, it was on Spec III. The difference was very evident. I even bought myself a DFGT to go with it.

Sometime around Autumn, GT5 Spec II will be coming our way.

Not a bad call that!

Thank you, Sir.

I did post this in the rumour thread:

The fifth wind tells us we will get an update for GT5.

Fifth wind says that reunion will happen in two forms, one greater than other and birdtamers will have freedom to decide which reunion they will attend. Greater reunion will ask for great sacrifice to be made in order to get all present and future treasures without new sacrifices needed, while smaller reunion will come in form already known, asking for more sacrifices if future treasures catches the eyes of the birdtamers.

Looking at that, I think we will be offered a complete DLC pack, maybe at the same cost of the game, or half price on a Bluray. I think we will also be offered the opportunity to purchase the DLC in bits, say a track at a time.

Birdtamer = GT5 player
Greater Reunion = All DLC content on a Bluray
Reunion = DLC
Great Sacrifice = $/£/Monies
Future Treasures = Future DLC

The bit in bold in amars post concerns me, I have a horrible feeling that there may be a subscription service offered at some point similar to an MMO subscription. I hope that's just my paranoia working overtime!

Maybe the extra content will coincide with the release of GT5 Spec II?

Umm sorry but i dont understand hillbilly jargon.

I thought that I misunderstood what you meant by real tracks, as in I thought you were saying they don't exist in real life so you don't care. I was pointing out that they do exist in real life. From your response to that I thought that you meant they aren't going to be in GT5, which is a legitimate theory, as there is no proof to the contrary. I used a fairly popular Internet meme to add some humor to the misunderstanding.

I apologize, as I forgot that the Internet is serious business.

Either way they are not 100% real tracks like Monza, Suzuka and what have you. in other words "city circuits" are not necessarily real.

Now, I am confused. It once again sounds as if you are claiming that these are not real life tracks.

Infineon is one of the two road tracks used by NASCAR and Indy Car. Not a City Curse. Was also in past GT games, so this is not secret but commonly known information.

Twin Ring Moetgi is a track in Japan, and where Danica Patrick scored her only win. It is used by SuperGT, MotoGP, and Indy Car. Also, in past GT games, and not a city course.

Circuit de Valencia is in Spain and hosts MotoGP, DTM, and WTCC races. This was in Tourist Trophy (another game by PD) and GTPSP. Not a city course.

As you can see, all three are real world fixed circuit road courses. Twin Ring Motegi also has an oval.

This birdtamer wants the winds to blow with a timeframe for said reunion.

I completely forgot about Amar's post. Thanks for the reminder.

HA! Indeed. A time frame would be a good thing.

What is not real about these circuits? They are road courses like Monza, Suzuka, and what have you. Nothing city about them.

 

[kimi123]

He never said that.He actually said the opposite, like PS3 isn't enough for their vision of GT, and the next console is still to be decided. (like all creative people he just don't know the answer, time will show)

Before the release he was not very happy because he knew it was not perfect and had some glitches. Obviously with more powerful machine they can achieve more. But PS4 is not comming any time soon. So there will be another GT game on PS3 a more polished version of GT5 with more content, is my guess, may be GT6P. We have to wait and see. Hopefully they will announce something what their next project is ?

Fizzyman, you don't consider the "original tracks" being fake?

He was ofcourse referring (and so was I in my post) to the ones Foolkiller mentioned and you probably know that perfectly well, and asking whether the original tracks are fake or not is a rethorical question.

By the way, enjoy drifting in GT5? I hear the Route 246 track isn't very suited for that purpose though...

No i dont, and no i wasn't referring to him, now i am referring to my previous post. If you read it again and don't get confused again you'll be at least be catching up.

But the person you were referring to in your previous post (mcfizzle) was referring to the examples Foolkiller mentioned and you claimed were city tracks and therefor according to your reasoning unreal.
It seems I'm not the one confused here or in need of catching up, although I'll refrain from any further 'discussion' on this matter as it seems to be a pointless exercise.

 

[mcfizzle]

Fizzyman, you don't consider the "original tracks" being fake?

I was referring to your response to Foolkiller where you said Infineon, Motegi, and Valencia as not real courses. They are real. You said not real like Monza and Suzuka. They are all REAL permanent road courses so either you weren't being clear at what you meant by not real or you were confused.

I consider the original tracks to be just that, original.

I agree with the 5th wind's interpretation. I additionally believe that for those who bought the collectible editions will have free DLC but the rest will have to pay.

 

[Blessorship]

No news in quite some time. Kaz hasnt tweeted since April 5th. I was really hoping on more news of DLC tracks.

I don't mind paying for DLC, but I won't pay a monthly fee like iRacing.

 

[commanderr]

Dont you read the news?? Oh sorry your in the outback.

That interview is from last year...

 

[michael-adam]

Kaz Tweeted about 20 minutes ago! If anyone could read Japanese it would be lovely

 

[michael-adam]

He is basically saying that he won't realease gt6 until he dies and that he will continue to port ps2 cars.

Any scoops on what's going on with Sony's PSN? It's been 2 days now, I am surprised how quietly everyone is taking this. Can't login at the moment, I haven't logged in 1.5 weeks, but read major problems had brought the system down.

 

[A.D.I.O.S]

it's all about the hackers.. mabye "anonymous" again or s.o. else..

 

[TBR 427]

anon is the kind of group that would go on national TV and hack something live, then record that and post it on youtube. So far they haven't said it was them, and if it turns out it was, then it's extremely uncharacteristic.

Someone in Sony dun goofed something fierce. Remember that time they thought there were 30 days in February (or something similar)? That knocked the whole system down for days and messed up anyone who tried to connect.


Maybe they just need to remind employees that sake and netcode don't mix?

Sony have admitted that it's "an external intrusion" so it could be a hacker group.
Although this seems a bit more professional than Anon's last attack. Makes me think this is something bigger than them.

 

[BWX]

Maybe it's China. They are attacking the entire US all day every day.

There's absolutely nothing professional about distributed denial of service attacks. Isn't unheard of for small groups to take down large corporations for days, even weeks (intermittently), easily long enough for them to masquerade as tech support, pick up some passwords, and upload emails from the board of directors to the US government to popular torrent sites. Well, maybe that last bit isn't professional, just professionally ruthless.

Maybe it's China. They are attacking the entire US all day every day.

fascinating...


If it is china, they're about to be put in a world of hurt. Their economy rides on countries such as the USA and Japan being their friends (or rather, juuuust not hating them quite enough to do anything). Annoying SONY would risk the guys in Tokyo wiping game development studios over there. Same with any chance of annoying Square Enix, and other large Japanese and SONY-related companies. Sure there's a handful of smaller, western-owned companies (and some independents), and many outsource, but they'll fall like dominoes.



Considering SONY's recent response to anything that isn't happy hour (sue it back to the stone age with their bazillion lawyers), whoever is responsible for hacking PSN, if it is the case, should be running for the hills at the speed of sound.

 

[analog]

China does seem to be heavily involved in cyber attacks on countries like the US although ofcourse not officially, although what their gain might be to attack PSN escapes me, censorship maybe, especially since the recent crackdown on any opponents of the Communist party, including famous ones, since they seem to fear a similar uprising like the ones in the Middle East.
Keeping the system as it is might be more important right now short term than securing their economy.
Even though my PS3 is clearly labelled, "made in China" ironically.

 

[witham]

fascinating...

Didn't relise that vulcans went on gtplanet!

 

[Voltaic]

Come on guys...China? What would they gain by doing this? More to lose if you ask me.

I think it is far more likely to have been a good hacker, if not Sony's own incompetent IT group.
