Bravias have an screen saver …

Well, that may be, but it certainly doesn't need one.

In fact, for a while, Apple was referring to the "screen saver" as Screen Effects, because it doesn't "save" your screen at all. (If you want to make life easy for your LCD, then switch it off.) However, they went back to calling it a Screen Saver in a later update; I assume because people were freaking out about not having one.

 

[Coiler]

I guess a screen saver would work on the whole screen..
It doesn't seem to me that the squares affect the pause menu ... That's quite clear on the JVN vid, from 1.04 on.

I got only audio on that video,is there some sort of registration to view it ?

Hmm ? I'm referring to this and the player works (for both audio and video ) just fine here without being registered.

Are we still waiting for the second video and interview?

 

[Famine]

LCDs don't need screen savers, and I seriously doubt a TV would have one built in, because it wouldn't know it was receiving a static image without some pretty sophisticated (read: expensive) circuitry; circuitry that an LCD display wouldn't even need, since it doesn't suffer from burn-in.

They can suffer from burn-in... kinda. They have an issue called "image persistance" where static images displayed for a long period of time (windows task bar, TV channel idents) can remain for a while after they have changed and the crystals can actually be permanently imprinted with the image if it's there for a significant amount of time (not very likely in the home).

Turning the screen off or having a screen saver does help prevent this.

 

[TheCracker]

I can see why a testing rig (which is what i presume that particular LCD was part of) at a 24/7 office like PD's would require a screen saver. We have a couple of LCD monitors at work which are always switched on and can't be used with a screen saver because it messes up the remote access function they're used for. They have very noticeable screen-burn where the OSX menu bar and some icons are.

Are we still waiting for the second video and interview?

Kind of was wondering the same..

 

[Tapey]

Let's hope that means rain & time of day changes - I mean, since it will only take them 2 months or so to implement them into the game - what's the problem Kaz?

The framerate.

I mean here we have what is basically the best looking racing game on consoles. It's funning at 60fps with a resolution of 1080p. On top of that, it has 16 cars on the track (hopefully, current demos just have 10?) and also damage, and one excellent physics system. Now to be honest, that in itself is a technical marvel, and it's incredible that they've actually managed to make a game with those specifications.

Adding weather and time of day changes will not be difficult at all, however, adding weather etc and keeping the framerate stable will be a very difficult task. I think that's basically what Kaz was saying, in that hey we can do this no problem, but we're not sure yet because of how it might effect the quality of the game (in other words, the framerate).

They could free up a lot of horsepower by dropping the game from being 1080p to 720p. They could probably then add weather etc and put a fair few more cars on the track as well. I think they want it to be an technical show-off for the PS3 though, since there aren't many 1080p games around.



Edit: Regarding the "screensaver" I don't think it is. I remember in one of the videos they show someone sat infront of that TV driving around, and as they're driving the squares are still there moving around. If it was a screensaver that wouldn't be happening whilst the game was being played.

 

[aurelio_911]

So are confirmed:
- day/night
- rain
- damage on all cars??

JVN interview's introduction has been updated and they now state that we will have the ability to :"courir sous la pluie", what really means drive while raining and not only on a wet track like Tsukuba in GT4.

 

[torontoml]

Is there a link on youtube to the JVN video, it won't work for me there.

 

[RedSuinit]

...

 

[hardvibes]

Is there a link on youtube to the JVN video, it won't work for me there.

Yeah it won't work for me either! I'm using the ps3 browser and those from JVN are the only videos I can't watch.

 

[aurelio_911]

^I will ask Jvn's guy when I'll come back from school.

 

[Coiler]

Yeah it won't work for me either! I'm using the ps3 browser and those from JVN are the only videos I can't see.

It works just fine in Windows IE

And yes this is not an tv screen saver, it's clear that the menu butons don't have that efect.

Edit: I think that the car on suzuka is the R35 gt500 nissan

 

[hardvibes]

It works just fine in Windows IE

Yeah but my computer died a few days ago, I have no choice but to use the ps3 browser. Could someone please post a screenshot of the g-graph?

Nous vous avions promis quelques informations concernant Gran Turismo 5 obtenues de première mains lors de notre rencontre avec Kazunori Yamauchi, le père des Gran Turismo. L'embargo étant désormais officiellement levé, nous pouvons vous les transmettre. Et comme vous allez le constater de nombreux points n'avaient jusqu'à présent jamais été dévoilés...

* Date de sortie européenne : proche de mars 2010 / annonce imminente
* Courses de jour... et de nuit
* Retour des courses sous la pluie
* Usures des pneus : affinage des pertes d'adhérence
* Un garage de 950 véhicules
* 20 lieux à travers le monde
* 70 variations de circuits
* Nouvelle physique des véhicules
* Dégâts par déformation de chaque pièces de la voiture... en fonction de la vitesse et de la direction de l'impact
* Upload de ses ralentis sur YouTube
* GT TV améliorée + Exportations des vidéos de la PS3 à la PSP
* Dès le jour du lancement : possibilité d'uploader une centaine de véhicules obtenus dans le GT sur PSP... vers Gran Turismo 5

A très bientôt pour notre interview avec Kazunori Yamauchi, questionné sur la concurrence, sur la date européenne de sortie de GT5, l'évolution du studio Polyphony Digital depuis près de 20 ans et... sur Shenmue. Si si...

Translating...

We have promised exclusive information from our meeting with KY. NDA has now been officially lifted, we can now forward these information. And as you will see, a number of features have never been mentioned before...

* European release date close to march 2010 / announcement imminent
* Races during day... and during night
* Races under rain are back
* Tyre wear : grip loss [due to tyre wear I presume] is now more sharply rendered
* 950 vehicles
* 20 location around the world
* 70 track layouts
* New vehicle physics
* Damage on each part of the car... depending on the speed and direction of the impact
* Upload you replays on youtube
* improved GTTV and export videos from your PS3 to your PSP

Nothing new in it, but this is what game up using google translate.

 

[killanite]

So that's 2 french sites confirming day/night racing and Rain.... Why can't the english speaking folk do so >_>...

 

[Tenacious D]

See you soon for our KY interview bout the concurrence, the european release date, PD evolution since 20 years and... Shenmue.

Wow... what's this about? Sorry, big Shenmue fan.

 

[Coiler]

some nice news i see

 

[Stevisiov]

So that's 2 french sites confirming day/night racing and Rain.... Why can't the english speaking folk do so >_>...

It doesn't really confirm what many are hoping for. GT4 had tracks at night and had a wet track. What we are really hoping for is changeable weather and day/night transitions. Neither have been confirmed yet unfortunately.

 

[Tired Tyres]

That's what I was just about to post. We have raced at night and we have raced on wet tracks. We still need proper confirmation.
