Good stuff, though I will echo what the others have said RE: Deep Forest, etc.
And that UK village is not in the UK (there's a poster of a bell that says Glocke on the wall - I'm guessing it's in Germany, Austria or Switzerland - Bern? )

Well it's a great deal worse than just a misunderstanding if it's true, as has been suggested here, that "A renowned German magazine claims that only 10% of the brightness makes it through because of the way 3D TVs and shutter glasses work."

That is entirely false and shows a tremendous lack of understanding on how the technology works.

More importantly, if as you are now suggesting, they were not even taking in account what we humans would and are seeing through the shutter glasses, then they are even more misguided. I'm sorry, but if what you say is true in regards to what the article claims, then they have done their readers a great injustice - as they have clearly already had at least two people in this thread convinced that shutter glass would cause the brightness (what we actually can see) to drop to dramatically low levels, which is absolutely untrue.

Their claim for 50% drop due to using two lenses is clearly a misunderstanding, as the glasses cannot be considered as a whole unit, since that is not how they are used (i.e. you don't use both lenses in parallel on one eye...)

The second claim, that the "shutter" LCD is only fully open for 3 milliseconds, instead of 8.3, is also a misunderstanding - as the LCD does not flip instantaneously from opaque to transparent, rather it (I assume) fades gradually in either direction, probably at different rates and non-linearly.
Hence, the time averaged "transmission" of light per lens is probably much higher than 18% (3.0 / 16.6 ). In fact, if we assume the lens is fully opaque for 3 ms also, that leaves ~ 11 ms to fade in and out - ~ 5 ms transition time? - so it's probably about 66 % transmission over a complete cycle, assuming a linear transition.

Interestingly, 3 ms is about the temporal limit of aural resolution - I'm not sure what the temporal resolution of our visual system is...? Must be around 10 ms, if we believe the 100 fps thing - anything less than this figure (whatever it is) is not discretely perceived, i.e. it blends with the previous and next few ms, which means our eyes have a "burn-in" of at least a few milliseconds. This should close the remaining 34 % down nicely...

www.giantbomb.com says GT5 set to release Nov. 1

So has gamestop.com for the past month or so.

Yeah, I was at GameStop today to pick up God of War III and I asked the guy working there when GT5 was releasing. He told me November. Which I actually wouldn't really find surprising, considering all this talk about a fall release. That just basically confirms it, GT5 WILL be releasing this fall.

Another reason why I'm telling you guys this is because GameStop actually knew the exact release date for God of War III, months before it was officially announced.

Not bad I guess, November's my birthday. lol

 

[hardvibes]

Why do you keep asking to people who know nothing about GT5? https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=117303

Sony already denied the other day what their representative said at GDC: there is no official release date yet, it is not set yet/not publicly announced.

Game shops just guess. They know nothing. GTPlanet, Sony and PD are the only one's who I'd (personally) believe when it comes to release dates.

Good for you,but bad for me...another 8months without GTI really hope it comes out this summer!

Thanks for the feedback, i'll amend the image tonight and recirculte. If anyone has found any other images worth including, please let me know.

There's a much nicer image of Tsukuba on the homepage of GTplanet :-)

No idea where they got their info, probably not accurate but you guys can chew it like you chew everything else.

The 1st of November 2010 is a Monday. Does any country release games on that day of the week?

 

[paskowitz]

We have been down this road before, retail websites release dates are PURE SPECULATION.

 

[Tired Tyres]

Exactly. 👍

Once the date is officially announced I don't think any of us will be left with any doubts about it at all. Too many people seem to be hoping to be the one that breaks the news.

 

[analog]

Retailers have an interest themselves to claim a certain release date as they obviously want everyone to pre-order, more likely if you have a speculative date on your site than a TBA, as not everyone looks at sites like these for info.
We indeed just have to wait for an official announcement, i don't think mister Yamauchi is Twittering away.

I never understood the point of pre-ordering. When a game is released, you can walk into pretty much any store selling games and walk out with one without much trouble.

I agree, unless you ordered something which is a limited edition or in short supply, i expect GT5 to be everywhere and just look for the cheapest offer instead of restricting myself to a fixed deal.

The thing with pre ordering is it makes it easy for the store to know how many copies to order.
Instead of guessing & ordering 20 copies of something & it sells 2 copies or you have 100 people wanting it & your sold out.

Unless there is some cool pre-order bonus attached. I know my friend got a bag full of stuff for Gears of War 2.

Sometimes pre-order bonuses are pretty cool, but most times they are mostly useless.

Not always the case. I used to live in far upstate New York and I recall having a lot of trouble finding any place that had GT4 around its official release-date. I ended up (skipping a day of classes in high school and) driving 45 minutes to an Electronics Boutique to find a copy.

 

[Seismica]

I'll be pre-ordering a limited edition copy of GT5 I think.

Two and a half more years, and PD will be able to take out every bit of performance from the PS3, dynamic weather, even more improved damage, maybe a two couples of cars to add to the grid and new models, new versions of old tracks and official online championships, and that's all. Then, let's start GT7, almost from scratch to enjoy the full potential of the forthcoming PS4.

 

[SrRd RacinG]

So, would you guess PS4 will host Gran Turismo 6? Or will Sony stick with the ten year plan for the PS3?

Or might they make 2 versions?

 

[chepe371]

How many years to complete Gran Turismo 6?

Kazzy Kaz already said this system was a new one built from scratch for PS3 so the next GT will be written on the same system, that puts huge vacation + dev time and GT5 milking at about 2-3 years.

 

[Tired Tyres]

They've made two versions for the PS1 & PS2 so I would expect a content rich GT6 to appear on the PS3.

Stores are usually allotted a number of copies based on previous sales numbers. Using gamestop as an example, they already have an allowed number of pre-orders, before the pre-orders are placed, based on how business has been at the specific location. That's why after a certain number of pre-orders, you're no longer guaranteed to be one of the first few to have the game reserved. Same with wal-mart or best buy. Each store is guaranteed a certain number of copies based on "traffic".

No, not a chance, GT6 will be on the PS3 for sure. Let's hope that the PS4 will have a more developer-friendly architecture, since many developers complain about the complexity involved in the development of PS3 applications.

wasn't that when the ps3 first came out? Plus there isn't much Sony can do about that since anything other than directx would be "hard for them" to work with, because directx is what they know.

Yeah, I think so, perhaps Sony lacked support for game development companies responsible for the first titles, maybe a framework capable of making the developers life easier would have a positive impact on development. It's the first ultra-complex non-symmetrical multicore architecture used in a videogame, it's perfectly reasonable to be difficult.

 

[Seismica]

How many times... GT6 will be on the PS3, an improved/refined version of GT5.

The PS4 is still in the early stages of its development. If GT5 is going to be out this year, the platform for the next console is not yet ready, so they will most likely build on GT5, which is designed for the PS3.

I remember an interview, where Kaz stated that GT5 runs on a whole new operating system, and GT6 will be based on that operating system. This does not in itself confirm that it will be on the PS3. However, there are reports and speculation that the PS4 will not have a cell processor, they may turn to the simpler approach to make it more accessible for developers. If this happens, the GT6 engine, based on the GT5 engine used with the PS3, will need a lot of work doing to change the way it uses the hardware.

So I think it is safe to say, GT6 will be on the PS3.
