GT5 Latest News & Discussion

[TokyoDrift]

I don't mind the music, and if I don't like a particular track, I hit mute. What's the issue? Music is about as subjective a thing as you'll ever find.

Fair enough, but when that music is in place of the game sounds (regardless of background clatter), it warrants any comments in generates.

Complaining about mimaximax's vids is about as childish and ungrateful as anyone can be.

You seem to take such "complaints" out of context. When the first videos emerged, everybody was grateful. When the second batch emerged, people were happy to have more. However, as they kept on coming, showing nothing really new as such, they did not have the appeal and surprise factor that they did originally. Not really his fault though is it? So, kudos to Mimaximax for his efforts, but that still doesn't change the fact that most of us are over that build now.

Sorry if this has been posted before … probably has.


Wheelie in GT5 Demo in it's current state?! What the hell … that's really disappointing.
All the yadda yadda about brand new super-realistic physics … and then that.

Tell me all you want, fanboys – personally this proves to me that there something is
totally wrong with the physics as a whole. So many years and then the same old bull?


Slowly it's beginning to dawn on me that it might have been a good thing that I waited
all this time to buy a PS3 + new TV – guess I'll spend it on something else.
Glad there's LFS so I didn't build my rig for nothing …

 

[speedfreak69]

Great find, looks very promising 👍

Sorry man, but have you been checking all the recent vids featuring damage?💡
It's nothing new(same as already seen in other vids for months), just some scratches, dislodged bumper, flapping hood...There's no real damage, like broken parts(headlights for example) or anything bent(which definitely should be in a crash,unless it's made from unobtanium, but only the braces/screws/etc are regular earthly materials!)...👎

 

[amar212]

IMHO Visual damage is not important, so having it in this way is more than enough for me.

So, it looks very promising and it is a nice compromise for street cars.

 

[Matti_Dude]

That doesn't look like proper physics there Mr Apex. That looks like some kind of glitch / bug and it probably wont show up in the final game.

For street cars I agree. Hopefully racing cars will have extensive deformation though.

 

[opladener]

But I don't think of PD as bad at communicating...

I think they are.

Other devs have official forums, community managers, diarys, twitter channels you name it. Come on PD, its not THAT hard. Just a little information, a picture, a short text about a new feature or something like that would really be appreciated by the fans.

This total lack of communication is just frustrating. Especially when you see how much community interaction there is with other studios.

 

[eran0004]

Is this new info?

http://uk.autoblog.com/2010/04/19/autoblog-talks-to-gran-turismo-creator-kazunori-yamauchi/

Yamauchi explains the difference between standard cars and premium cars in GT5:

"Standard models won't have an interior view, less detailing and no crash model. The problem is that premium models take a lot of time to create and we wanted to include many more vehicles than before. To make premium versions of all the cars we want to put in would take ten years or more and I don't think people are prepared to wait long!"

I don't think people are prepared to wait ten years either, but I'm a bit disapointed about the not-all-cars-have-interior-view-thing. I would rather have no damage at all and more (all?) cars with interior view. But that's me...

That demo is very old, think August time. In one respect think of it as a good thing seeing how a damaged bumper can alter the cars handling and aerodynamics.

And yes the video is old, in GT5 terms lol

What the 🤬??? Nooooooooo
This basically means only 170 models will have the cockpit view. Please tell me this is a joke.
The next question would be: what do you mean exactly by crash model?

 

[Mr_ANDERSON]

Don't know about anyone else but i'm getting bored of these vids by mimaximax, I need some fresh videos or something, not just the same CES demos.Wish they would just give a frickin release date, surely no other run up to a game has been like this??

Yep, totally. Same cars, same track, awful music, nothing new...I mean, I sound totally ungrateful, but that's just a result of the complete lack of real news since they announced the delay for Japan. I mean, who cares about the "AI avoidance" and other stuff we've seen in the vidoes? It's not like it changes the final game or anything, or makes it launch sooner.

not sure about this, but if the 2 of you were doing the demos I bet you wouldnt be bored.

Well I guess it's better than nothing(although there's a good number of people in the "do it properly, or don't do it at all" camp), but I'm expecting realistic visual+mechanical damage, just like IRL, and I think it is important!👍

Anyhoo, not to double-post, here's a new video from Citroen for their big luxury limo concept to suck up to the Chinese market. The thing that's relevant to this forum is, it looks like a PD work from one of their quality trailers doesn't it? Check it out!

Looks pretty cool, but the car is huuuge!(longer than the LWB Audi A8!)

Wow, is this true?
I though that interior view in all cars were a fact! Exceptions made to prototype cars like in GT5 P maybe.

Well, either they are bad at communicating or they are not revealing everything because of a reason.

Personally, the information I'm looking forward for the most is the info on a release date and I don't mind having the game as quite a surprise.

And after all, maybe we have already seen all the features that will come in the game, and all (well, most of) the info we're missing is a car and track list. We have seen the damage model, we have seen night racing, we have played the Prologue and the TT. Kaz said in an interview that GT5 will be different from Prologue in terms of dimension and scale, implying that it will be a prologue with more cars and tracks. So apart from a list of those cars and tracks, what else is there to release information about?

And in the interview with autoblog (http://uk.autoblog.com/2010/04/19/autoblog-talks-to-gran-turismo-creator-kazunori-yamauchi/) it appears as if what's taking a lot of time is actually to model the cars, which makes me think that I won't hope too much for a whole lot of new and cool features in the finished product.

Yeah, that's not what i wanted to read after five years of dev time...

I saw this vid about 2 weeks ago.If it's core physics bug, and all game physics build upon it i think it's a good reason for delay!

 

[speedfreak69]

Kaz:

Standard models won't have an interior view, less detailing and no crash model.

Uhhh...

 

[deep_sky]

I'm pretty sure all cars have interior modelling; it's only 170 that will have visible damage in the interior.

 

[torontoml]

I think something got mistranslated for that interview, I will be very disappointed if only 170 cars have an interior view.

I hope you're right ^^

How would you mistranslate "Standard models won't have an interior view"?
---

I'm officially disappointed, even if this is just about graphics.
5-6 years of development and only 170 models out of ~1000 will have the cockpit view???!!...
Excuse my reaction but I didn't see this coming.

 

[eran0004]

How would you mistranslate "Standard models won't have an interior view"?

Well, Yamauchi doesn't speak English (as far I've seen anyway) so he probably said it in Japanese. Thus there is a possibility that something got lost in translation. The sentence could have been "standard models won't have visible interior damage" or something like that. There's always a possibility for errors in translation.

Still, the article I cited in earlier posts suggests that the modelling of premium cars is very time consuming, so the chance that he got translated correctly is quite big as well.

Edit:

Also, so far we only have one source on this. Don't trust information unless it comes from several sources.

 

[opladener]

Didn't we have that discussion half a year ago ?
If its really true, this is pathetic.

 

[scope72]

Does he mean "only premium models and every car in Prologue"? Something doesn't match up.

I'm betting on a mistranslation. 👍

 

[chepu]

There has to be a mistranslation, just read this:

''Standard models won't have an interior view, less detailing and no crash model. The problem is that premium models take a lot of time to create and we wanted to include many more vehicles than before. To make premium versions of all the cars we want to put in would take ten years or more and I don't think people are prepared to wait long!''

First, PD having no details in something is like an Oxymoron.

Second, Yeah, waiting for 5 years is nothing but short.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Haven't they confirmed "all cars will have a cockpit view" at last years TGS?

 

[CerealKiller]

Good find Eran, thanks for posting, but very sad. Not great news by any means but it makes a lot more sense when thinking back to how they're differentiating between standard and premium models. Interior damage just didn't seem like enough of a criteria for separating the two like that.

 

[zod]

I think something got mistranslated for that interview, I will be very disappointed if only 170 cars have an interior view.

Of course its mistranslated, standard cars already got interior view, they only won't have interior damage, thats limited to about 170 (race-)cars. But the interior view itself will be available for all cars.

 

[Delphic Reason]

Honestly, do you really think PD would model the cockpit for every car in GT5 (Standard or race), and then leave those out of the full game?

It is most definitely a mistranslation.

 

[analog]

Wow flashback, thought this misunderstanding was cleared months ago and it was safe to assume all cars were available with interior view.
I cannot believe this would still only apply to a limited selection since I remember clearly being reassured that all cars have that option.
If this turns out to be true, well...let's just hope someone here can clear it up.

Edit, Thanks Delphic Reason for reassurance, hope you're right.........
