GT5 (probably) playable at Gamescom!

[G.T.Ace]

No, its still running as GDC which is closed to the public.

 

[Peterram430]

Why? It's an open conference.

But it's not open yet.

 

[sher_da_putt]

Hmm, anyone know if the gamescon home space is a live stream?

 

[Boffin]

Hmmmm to stay up until 2am or not... Any aussies going to?

I would, but I'm in the middle of my yr12 trial exams .

Why? It's an open conference.

Yes, but they want an impact....for gasps - not for someone to yell "oh that is soooo 4 hours ago!".

 

[JamboGT]

I don't think it was open when that video was taken.

The home stream is not live, will be a few hours late. Also the PSN will be down during that time so live stream not possible.

 

[Strittan]

I think he could have been hiding the camera?

Hmm... fair enough. 👍

 

[reece22345]

Hmmmm to stay up until 2am or not... Any aussies going to?

Hell yeah I'm staying up for it.... plus it's only midnight in WA

And yeah he'd be covert because it's not open to the public and like all things, developers want to actually announce it the way they planned, rather then let it get released on shaky youtube video lol

 

[Robin]

oops

 

[Jay]

Camera phones do have a use....

 

[Oniichan]

Hmmmm to stay up until 2am or not... Any aussies going to?

yeah ill be staying up. Im to excited to sleep. haha.. plus i work my own hours. Gotta love being a free lance.

 

[Boffin]

Hmm... fair enough. 👍

The video reminds me of one on Top Gear where an award was given to James May for the worst piece of camera work when he went to test a rover (undercover) and filmed nothing but ceiling. Luckily that is not the case wit this one.

PSN down for GT5 demo upload?

Maybe by taking PSN down it is for something really, really big - forget the demo bit, PSN down for GT5 upload?

 

[Squasher]

Jealous lol, I'm guessing their actual presentation wont start straight away either. I've got to think of something to do for a few hours then

Wouldn't GT5 be too large to download? Prologues around 5gb now isn't it?

 

[reece22345]

Well from those shots it's not a porsche... look at the taillights and the rearwindow angle.

I think its an audi of some description but it's really hard to tell from the photos especially given a lack of detail.

By the way for those that are trying to kill time before the Sony stream starts, the EA stream goes live in an hour and a half. NFS and the like feature so we can see how badly EA stuff up the series (if that's possible to do more so) and have a good laugh!

WHAT IS THAT CAR!!!

For some odd reason it looks like a BMW 5 Series or an Audi coupe rear but the side profile doesnt match. It could be a TT as some said but the rears not right.

Robin.

That would be a 21st century piece of genius marketing. But not going to happen.

Hah! Not likely! This is all very interesting, can't wait to see what's new when I come on tomorrow (if anything).

Point. But the side profile further up shows more similarities.

I'm sure if it was released prior to in-store it would still have a ton of people trying to download it

But yes, a game that needs a blu-ray disk would be a bitch to download.

 

[andrethaiss]

im so excited, i wish i was there, i have the live link for the live stream, but does anybody know where in HOME can i see the videos if the links don't work?

 

[Squasher]

I've got tommorow off work I just don't want to stay up and be dissapointed, though that is starting to look unlikely as theres shedloads of cockpits there!!

Robin.

Id say an Audi TT roadster.

Home will be down as PSN will be down but they will show it there till a few hours later so it wont be live. You can watch it in the presentation podium.

 

[andrethaiss]

where is that? in the plaza? sorry, i don't use home alot so i don't know, in what space?

 

[Coiler]

nah its clear thats a hard top would be tt for me but the lights are to big (maby because of the blur)

 

[Cap'n Jack]

where is that? in the plaza? sorry, i don't use home alot so i don't know, in what space?

It's in the real world!

 

[reece22345]

Very Possible. Factor in camera blur from the jolting and those lights could actually be the right size. However the rear passenger windows look a little too large in the footage screenshot.

 

[RouWa]

The TT is probably some kind of "high end cockpit". In 2004, when the GC was in Leipzig, Sony had a blue TT with hydraulics:

It was used for some kind of competition. To play in the TT, you first had to do a fast lap here:

The fastest drivers were then allowed to play GT4 from inside the TT. The winner got a price I can't remember anymore.

BTW, you can win a real BMW M3 at the EA booth in Cologne. Go, Amar!

 

[MADFORCE]

maybe its the simulator like this one

but seriously, it doesnt matter

 

[andrethaiss]

It's in the real world!

so where in the plaza is it. I know its not in the real world but can someone please tell me
