GT5 Latest News & Discussion

[analog]

This seems to evolve into the eBay thread..

 

[Famine]

Great thread, would read again A+++++++++++++++

 

[Griffith500]

Unfortunately, my awful memory means I do tend to re-read a lot of stuff...

Also, Balocco, I really enjoyed your post 👍

Never seen it move before, SLS AMG retractable airfoil (moving in gt5).

 

[Voltaic]

BALOCCO!!!

I was going to use that name as one of my aliases. Good for you! I assume you know what it means and the history it has with a certain car make

I'm hoping that since GT now simulates air, it's functional in-game and not just a nice visual touch.

Of course I do. The Alfas from the 60s through to the early 70s are, in my mind, the most wonderful things in the world, and they wouldn't have been as good as they are if it wasn't for Balocco.

Guys, has there been any mention of Touge at all? I've been watching a lot of Best Motoring/Hot Version lately aswell as playing alot of Battle Gear on the arcade's on Mt Akiga. Got me thinking about how incredible it would be if there was a touge track in GT5. I don't think I've heard or seen anything though. Just checking with you guys. Do you guys think because PD have a partnership with BM, they would include their touge?

The touge track Best Motoring use, if that were to make it to GT5, I think I'd have a heart attack from major levels of excitement.

Have you seen the Japanese show where they drive these Touge races?

It'd be so great to have one of those narrow Japanese roads in the game!

I seriously doubt they have any kind of real-time aerodynamic calculations going on, to actually calculate your car's drag with the aero-brake engaged or disengaged, and then change those values on the fly. That would require some serious processing power, I think...It's probably precalculated.

meh, that video was posted and we've seen pictures of the spoiler both down and up.

 

[amar212]

It is on mine. Also, the same applies as above

And you have one disc I'd like to have dear friend

So please, check your PM's when you find time, that particular backup - or even a brand new one from Land of Rising Sun - would make a great addition to my humble collection

 

[SrRd RacinG]

See? And everybody was crying for Amar, thinking he left.

Silly.

Thanks for the feedback. We’ll set something up soon. We all read the GT forums on a very regular basis and appreciate all of it.

I guess they do read the forums

If anyone from SONY had the nerve to participate here openly, they'd better keep the Ignore hammer ready. This place has too many tools in it.

This goes for amar too. The Ignore hammer thing, I mean.

It would take a lot more processing power to calculate the grip effect of puddles, especially on a number of cars. Variable drag coefficients would be a lot easier.

I'm also expecting something meaty from E3. A full on blowout? I hope so, but I'll take what I can get. Since I'm anticipating a summerish release, I'm betting on a blowout.

So good to see you here again. 👍

It's well under way

Also I've been told I'm now allowed to add that "the car" is a Le Mans 24 Hour class winner (so, my apologies to those who aren't race car fans).

 

[hardvibes]

Bentley Speed 8?

Nevermind, it was in GT4.

 

[SrRd RacinG]

*shakes head in disappointment*

This...again? (lol!)



And just to reaffirm this position: Nothing can be confirmed (until the time is right says Famine). So if you guess right, you won't even know.

That=silly.

 

[MichaelDelaney]

Bentley Speed 8, (BMW) McLaren F1 GTR, or Jaguar XJR-12 are most likely. Personally, I was hoping for the Renault Alpine A442B, but that has the letter "P" in it...

EDIT: "Class winner" could include Astin Martin DBR9

 

[hardvibes]

Nevermid
It's not the Speed 8 since it was it GT4

If it's the car I'm being told, it hasn't been in any previous GT games, though the manufacturer has.

 

[amar212]

It's well under way

👍👍👍

Thank you mate!

 

[Zimmerd]

Thx for the update Famine!
Gran Turismo fans should be race car fans too

 

[Coiler]

Could it be a Dome LMP2 ?

 

[Lucas]

See? And everybody was crying for Amar, thinking he left.

Silly.

He stopped to hand us information, even if it was in the form of cryptic messages. Next time he gives us information, then you can say we were silly.

Silly? Silly you.

Mate, if I were to point out every silly comment/thread/poll you have ever made... I would still be typing by the time GT5 is released.

 

[Terronium-12]

Peugeot 908 HDI?

EDIT: Oh, damnit. That has a freakin' "P".

 

[Owen.C93]

Diesel??

Nice to see you around Amar.

 

[SrRd RacinG]

Really? They got great feedback, great number of votes. So the majority has spoken.

No offense taken by the way (assuming you wanted to take a stab at me lol)

 

[Lucas]

Really? They got great feedback, great number of votes. So the majority has spoken.

And what exactly do you see is happening here? This little "game" has got a lot of feedback.

 

[SrRd RacinG]

And what exactly do you see is happening here?

As I sit here typing this sentence, I'm literally at a loss for words. I don't know what you're asking or why you even decided to respond with that whole "your threads/comments/ polls suck comment".

Because first off: They were successful and helped me determine a lot of things.

And secondly, what the heck are you asking again? (lol)

 

[Raitziger]

Jaguar D-type and Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 have won Le mans 24h three times in a row. Those cars would be nice to add.
