I was just wondering, the next generation of video game console are most probably going to carry a standard resolution of 1080p (like the majority of the games in this generation are 720p); what I'm pondering about is whether polyphony would be able to directly port the cars to the next gen GT (obviously the lighting and shader engine is going to be new) or will the detail on the cars prove to be insufficient?

If they're able to directly port the cars then one can only imagine what a master piece PD would come up with in 2013-14, its going to be the best racing game ever.

As for GT5, sure it looks gorgeous but the kind of work PD puts in its games, its obsession with using every bit of processing power available makes me get that feeling you get when you game on a PC, "It would have looked so cool if I had a more powerful machine". You only get that feeling when you know that the problem that you are having can be fixed very easily just by adding more power. (AA, AF, FPS, shadow quality etc. related issues)

Looking at the shadows just makes me sick, its spoils the look of the game, the way they are broken in the hood of the Ford GT or the license plate areas of the cars (most obvious areas IMO). I hope they are able to fix the problem by the time GT5 is released.

Another random thought, I love that Citta de Aria (Assisi) track in GT4, I will be immensely disappointed if it isn't included. So I was just wondering, what do you guys think about that track, just give me an idea about the popularity of that track.
 
So when we look at the NFS Shift bundle wich comes on October 1 and the game comes on September 15-17, so I hope GT5 comes in mid November...

Look at the other games - it's not a rule, sometimes the bundle is available just 2-3 days after the game's release.

Hmm... *cough*1st...*cough* ?

i post this days ago...
p81

Seems to me this time it's just a tad bit more sourced, since this time SCEF is clearly mentioned (I don't recall seeing them in the earlier news). I think someone should send them an e-mail asking if it's true and officially official :).
 
GT based Playstation bundles have always been either same day or within a couple days at most. GT4 + PS2 slim was same day.
 
gt5 will release between 1th October, 4th december..
25th september is impossible .TGs wil start at that date and needs more advertisements for tihs game.
Kazu said gt5 will release shortly after gtpsp.
please dont repeat 25th september date anymore
 
this could be possible...but i doubt about it.

However,I remember E3 sony's conference, when they annonced FFVII will be on playstore RIGHT NOW :dunce:

wait and see
 
Alright, I don't see this as thread-worthy, so I'll just put it in here:

http://www.psbeyond.com/news/Gran-Turismo-5-Releasing-September-25th-UK.1197.html

PSBeyond has just been informed from an extremely reliable source that the highly anticipated racer for PlayStation 3, Gran Turismo 5, is being released this month...that's right, September 25th in actual fact in the UK. Word comes from a Sony official direct, and the news will certainly please many fans who have waited an exceptionally long time to see Polyphony Digitals next installment on store shelves.
 
It would be a major surprise a 25th sept. release, and they will certainly have everybody's attention, but come on... you don't actually believe it right???
Wouldn't be much of a smart move, marketing technically either. There would be no time to advertise and make people actually want the game (besides everyone here of course!). Not to speak of the fact that GTPSP would be completely ignored by everybody...
 
They don't need to advertise people.
"GT5 is out" are the only words they need to say and PS3 owners will buy:)

for GT1 (of course), GT2, 3, tokyo-geneva, 4, 5prologue release i wasn't seeking news (now i'm always on forums), i saw nothing about it (no advertisement, no review...) it was in the shop and thats all i needed to buy.

Edit: Even non racing gamers knows about GT5 release story as we know about FFXIII release story. Anyone have a friend witch isn't aware about GT5??
 
I doubt Sony will be taking a leaf out of Apple's book by announcing things being available as soon as you leave the keynote - I'd love it to be true of course!

I think this next major advancement may be that the game has gone gold - the games content will be noted as complete and will only require localisation and to run through the certification process. My gut feeling is that it'll be out 4th December as a lot of people are anticipating - it may be ready before then but I think Sony will hold it back to keep it away from other AAA games being launched in the weeks before. Sony need to be able to say that GT5 has sold a lot of copies, what they don't want to be saying is that GT5 would have sold a lot more if their target audience hadn't spent all their money on Modern Warfare 2...

On the contrary, internet media outlets were unboxing Slim PS3's within hours of their press conference. Remember?
 
Anyway, IF the 25th story is true, they won't be able to keep it a surprise right? Since all the copies need to be shipped in advance and there will always be some guy who is nice enough to tell us about it!
So, if we don't hear anything about shipments of GT5 boxes before - say - the 20th of Sept. I lose my hope (as far as there is any...)
 
GT5 won't really need advertising. Since the sales basically need to be made by the week of Christmas, the thing will advertise itself. I have no doubt that with zero ads other than a few website banners and store posters, the game will sell out within a day or two.

Quick edit: and by this, what I'm saying is that GT5 really could release about any time, and won't need three months of publicity before they launch it. Supercar Challenge, however, probably needs 3 months of ads just to get noticed by more than a few thousand people. GT5 will sell itself.

Why do people keep saying that? No matter how big something is it still needs some sort of ad campaign to sell. Look at Ferrari with the 458, it will obviously sell itself but they still have to do some advertising.

FYI-Advertising is a very broad term that covers everything from full blown commercials to word of mouth.
 
I think they already advertise target custommers...
Remembering partnership with biggest racing events: GT5 was at "Le Mans", LMS, Nurburgring, some tracks and probably other event i miss 👍

I think thats the way they advertise. Target custommers are racing fans rather than geeks reading magazines (it isn't pejorative at all).

Indeed. It seems that some people here don't realise that not everybody on this planet is a hardcore Gran Turismo fan who reads these forums daily. ;)
