GT5 Latest News & Discussion

I guess Sony has begun advertising on mainstream magazines.

This was on the back of my Entertainment Weekly.

16 cars on track on a street circuit at night. *Sigh of relief*

 

[Slurm]

Thanks for posting that MrBlueSky, SSR5 looking bloody gorgeous I must say and splendid to see 16 cars running at night. *breathes sighs of relief with Sam* Now I just hope SSR5 has daytime too Fingers still crossed for more night tracks.

And yeah the arrows on the track map don't match the image. To me it looks like the SLSes are about to enter the tunnel and final turn on SSR5 reverse, whereas the map shows them entering from the other side. Obviously the art director has just juggled it about.

The image is turned 180*. The tunnel first turns right as the picture shows and then does a left turn. That's what it looks like to me.

Could be a version of the rotating map. I seem to remember Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2 having a 3D rotating map that was all zoomed in on the section, or you had the 2D rotating map that showed the full course.

I could be wrong, (only operating on a few hours of sleep), but regardless of rotation, the map is still showing the tunnel as a left hand turn (as it should be for SSR5 in forward direction) Look at the arrows representing the cars on the map. It shows them quite clearly entering a tunnel that curves left.

What appears to be flipped horizontally is the road / tunell itself, which is clearly a right hand turn. Yet it's not as if the image itself was flipped, as the characters on the sign still appear correctly. Odd, thats all.

 

[Slurm]

Indeed dan - pretty sure it's not a mirror image because of the signs etc...

And dave_sz, I know what you mean, but the entrance to SSR5 only has a slight right kink which is before the enclosed tunnel section begins. The whole tunnel is continuous left (or right in reverse) turn. Not that it matters much!

Actually I think it looks like the cars are going into the tunnel in reverse, left kink prior to the long right hand sweeper around up to the front stretch. It's the map arrows showing them going in the normal direction, right hand kink into long left hand sweeper, which is throwing everyone off.

Hope this image clears things up:

Ahemm...

Interresting those signs appear as if they're in Latin.

Veniam : to approach; to come to.

Nuito : ???, night? as in Nuit, noche? couldnt find anything.

Aperiam : plain (as in "omnia sic aperiam" i'll make all so plain.)

Excopt(eor\eur??)


Voluplate : to be taken; to be captivated by pleasure


Adipīscī(ng)

1. present active infinitive of adipīscor.

From ad (“‘to, towards, at’&#8221 + apīscor (“‘reach after something, pursue; reach’&#8221.
[edit] Verb

present active adipīscor, present infinitive adipīscī, perfect active adeptus sum. (deponent)

1. I arrive at, reach; overtake, catch up with.
2. I get, obtain, acquire, get possession of, achieve.

 

[Jarmo]

We have seen the rotating map in all the demo vids, but it only showed what section of the track you were on. Although its still the same configuration as SSR5, so maybe a different perspective maybe.

In the TT demo you could adjust how zoomed in the map was on the screen.

 

[danthespaceman]

Hope this image clears things up:

Yes, I think we can all agree the map is correct. However, it doesn't correspond with what's happening in the picture very well. I agree with with real_tron:

. Obviously the art director has just juggled it about.

As a graphic designer myself, I can verify that this kind of thing happens in advertising all the time.

 

[Spagetti69]

Is the map then photo shopped?

 

[SuperShouden]

Umm...probably since it's supposed to simulate 3D on a 2D surface.

 

[Spagetti69]

Ummm maybe the 16 player bit is shopped too then!!!!

 

[SuperShouden]

I doubt it.

Yes, and this is trying to appeal to others than us that recognize the errors. Draw more fresh blood/fodder into the world of Sony/GT for us to play with. MMUUUHHHAAAHHHAAAA

New to me. Poor image quality, but still footage. Seems like an older build though, it doesn't have the nice "thud" sound that you hear in the newer ones when they crash.

It is an older build, it said "filmed at the GT Academy NZ" at the end.

 

[Rob-F1-Fan]

126 days to go .. Or about 150 if you're in europe like me :@ !

 

[hardvibes]

I thought the DFGT was the only wheel allowed for GT Academy

 

[SuperShouden]

Yeah, Maybe Jordon or someone can put up a countdown timer to the launch of GT5

UK's Playstation site has a rating for GT5.

 

[Seismica]

The image is turned 180*. The tunnel first turns right as the picture shows and then does a left turn. That's what it looks like to me.

Here is an image of SSR5 in GT4:

You cannot see past the kink. So I assumed from the image on the other page that they had extended the tunnel entrance.

But then I remembered we have already seen it in official screenshots;

The signs are different, and the tunnel entrance is too far back so you would see the tunnel start curving left from almost any angle.

So yeah, it shows the exit of the tunnel, they edited the image to lay the track map on top. Not that it matters lol

 

[Slurm]

Ummm maybe the 16 player bit is shopped too then!!!!

If the track map wasn't visible and we just had a number 16, I'd say it carried no meaning whatsoever. But you can see 16 arrows on the SSR5 track map itself, so I think that's pretty much proof that we can have 16 cars on SSR5

 

[Quintin03]

To stop you guys wondering what the Latin means I've tried translating it.

veniam=veni-a-m="I will come" (1st person singular indicative future active)
nuite could be "he has nodded" but there's an "e" too many for that
aperiam=aperi-a-m="I will open" (1st person singular indicative future active)
excepteur could be "he is being waited for" but again there's an e too many
voluptate=voluptat-e="with pleasure" (ablative singular feminine)


The rest I can't read too well but it seems like it's a totally ridiculous dialogue.

 

[hardvibes]

edit: just forget it...

 

[Quintin03]

Why? If it would be you could call it pretty ridiculous hanging above a motorway without any junctions.

 

[SuperShouden]

Sounds like poetry:

I will come because he has nodded (maybe supposed to be called me)
I will open up with pleasure because he has been waiting for me

or something like that

 

[peter_vod69]

Drifters and rally drivers do it all the time. I also do it every time I drive my real car, when leaving a paking lot and stuff like that.

They should simply make it an option. The cars that support 900 degree steering in real life should do it in the game as well.

Always bugs me that people on here really want PD not to improve the game. Why is that, really?


Wow, that's awesome stuff Lucas! 18th to 5th is simply amazing.

Mate,

I was asking the OP when was the last time HE/SHE/IT had gone INTO A CORNER in a ROAD CAR and used more than that much lock. Not "have you ever had cause to use more than three quarters of a rotation?" Not parking, not McDonalds drive-thru, not in a rally, not drifting (although I still associate that term with riding the rails illegally in some depression-era story).

Of course I want 900 degree support. I just want it implemented properly.

 

[Quintin03]

I will come because he has nodded (maybe supposed to be called me)
I will open up with pleasure because he has been waited for.

Fixed that for you, it's passive. Hmm, we'll see what becomes of this. If it's like there's one of these texts on every sign I might even get to use my Latin when I'm not at school.

 

[chepe371]

Ahemmm...

Veniam : to approach; to come to.

Nuito : ???, night? as in Nuit, noche? couldnt find anything.

Aperiam : to expose, plain (as in "omnia sic aperiam" i'll make all so plain.)

Excopt(eor\eur??)


Voluplate : to be taken; to be captivated by pleasure

1. present active infinitive of adipīscor.

present active adipīscor, present infinitive adipīscī, perfect active adeptus sum. (deponent)

1. I arrive at, reach; overtake, catch up with.
2. I get, obtain, acquire, get possession of, achieve.

So were getting closer, last time the signs read TENTATIVE.
