GT5 Latest News & Discussion

It's Nissan sponsored GT Academy, what did you expect?

I know man. Just a little joke.

GT Academy =

I guess it looks pretty much like we're getting Twin Ring Motegi for the full version though MAYBE.. I hope so.

I mean if its in Academy then it's gotta eventually be available for GT5. Loved that track in GT4, all versions of it.

Yep that is twin ring Motegi in GTA 2012 (GT5), I just got a 7680 x 4320 version of the picture from SCEA weighing in at 50mb's (looks like the oval/ring modeled too, it is quite detailed)


EDIT here is the file names for all the pictures, all in stupidly high res, it gives you a idea of some of the tracks for each round

Well, guess I know how some of the track schedule will go now. Thankfully, nowhere in site is Tsukuba, Otherwise I'd have a fit. I also think my series might be due for a slight schedule change

Wow. Want all of them "Its just the same car with a GTA Decal" Doesn't matter, has decal (something none of the original cars will have...ever)

 

[lebes14]

Woo are "WE"? Care to elaborate?

He can include me in this we if you are require more people to justify we, I personally couldn't care to drive any of these cars, then again I don't much like Nissan.

Seriously?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I know man. Just a little joke.

And not a very good one at that.

So that's three, then. Only another 3 million to go...

 

[hazellnut134]

Kaz confirmed on twitter that all the cars will be available after the event finishes.

The last 2 cars are a tuned 370z and gtr.

 

[patriotzero]

Free Motegi!

 

[Samus]

Free Motegi!

Says who?

 

[RACECAR]

Seriously?

If you never heard of sarcasm or trolling, probably.

 

[Samus]

If you never heard of sarcasm or trolling, probably.

Ok, it wasn't obvious.

 

[Danny]

Free Motegi!

And Tibet!

 

[RACECAR]

Ok, it wasn't obvious.

Not sure if you've heard of that one meme (I'll probably have to dig it up) but basically thats where I was going with the "Doesn't matter, has decal". Just trying to lighten the mood up for some.

No, I don't really follow those things. I thought you were just using broken English for some reason.

 

[paskowitz]

So in other words if you want to win the GT Academy ignore every track except Le Sarthe 2009 and Motegi.

 

[dudeondacouch]

Seriously?

TECHNICALLY, if you are involved in any "tuning prohibited" racing, the academy versions may in fact be "different cars." The R35 Academy GT-R seems to have aero parts on it stock.

 

[Alex p.]

And not a very good one at that.

 

[ZEROX]

Hopefully, we'll get time change Motegi (like evening in GT4)
...or weather change.

 

[SkylineObsession]

Kaz seriously trying to troll us with all those Skylines...

Wow, people are still going on about this...

Don't like it? Try Forza Motorsport. 👍

 

[Downhill Dino]

Just because of some excess of a certain car? What sense does that make?

 

[Slash]

It's kind of annoying seeing as there are 30 models of one car and then like 4 of another that is just as popular if not more popular in other parts of the world.

 

[CCXRacer]

+1 on time change. Too many mid-day tracks for my taste.

 

[SkylineObsession]

It's kind of annoying seeing as there are 30 models of one car and then like 4 of another that is just as popular if not more popular in other parts of the world.

And over 1000 other cars to choose from. I understand where you're coming from, but theres still a lot of others out there to drive.

I notice Forza 4 has a lot of American cars that i haven't really heard of/have not much interest in, but i don't complain about it - i just drive the cars that do interest me.
Kaz is likely well aware that theres a few out there that keep going on about the amount of Skylines, but as has been mentioned numerous times - it is a Japanese game, and they have close ties with Nissan.

At least they sort of make up for it by having so many other cars, surely?

 

[Slash]

Personally I think GT5 is lacking in the muscle department. They missed soooo many that truely defined America in the 1960s and 1970s.

👍👍👍

 

[NOSWaster]

Honestly, PD has missed a lot of cars that have defined a lot of countries. It's not just the USA that got left out.

 

[70hemi]

Yeah, Australia was another that was hugely left out...
