Kaz: Pushing the Virtual Divide

[Scaff]

We're you conciously trying to make an objective discussion personal?
What you think has nothing to do with it, so don't be presumptuous.

You opened the door (by asking if I found you interesting you are the one that made it a personal discussion, not me), don't complain if you don't like the response.

I have an interest in offroad rally training to improve my driving ability, understanding, and skill in the realworld.

And yet you claim that Motorsport has no relevance to the real world!

I suppose you think theatre, literature, and music are more than just fantasy?

I think they quite clearly are, unless you have a rather odd definition of fantasy.

Motorsport is conducted in controlled environments in highly regulated conditions, it is abstract from the realworld.

A number of those words quite clearly don't mean what you think they do.

The world can and will survive without motorsport, indeed, the world will be a better place without it - it is a plague, a cancerous parasite.
Most people in the world would scarecely notice nevermind care if all of motorsport ceased to exist, and sorry for all of you working in the motorsport industry but your contribution to society is a measurably negative factor rather than positive.

I strongly suspect you actually know very little about the motorsport industry given the above nonsense, given that just about every person who has survived a car crash in the last 30 years has the motorsport industry to thank for it, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Since the moderators here do not respect the idea of a seperation of powers and find it appropriate to trawl a user's posts to find material for use in personal arguements, I hereby end my association with GTPlanet.

How is reviewing someone posts using the search tool (which any member can do), to find a post I saw when it was originally posted, an abuse of power? If you wish to leave that is your choice, but don't try and inaccurately pin it on someone else.

Car is tool, not toy.

I strongly suspect that the motorsport industry is far more aware of that than you are.

I for one think automobiles can function both ways. Both as a tool to achieve an objective in motorsport, and a toy in the gratification and pleasure that can be had by playing with said autoomobile.

Anything that has the ability to injure/kill you and others isn't a toy.

I've spent far too long around them (and seen the damage they can do, the results of crashtest's , etc.) to ever consider them toys.

I deeply admire the skill involved in the design and development of them, they can be stunningly things to behold and I enjoy the challenge of learning to drive them to the best of my ability, pushing those ability in the correct environment.

As you can tell I more than like cars, but I don't consider them to be 'toys' in that regard.

I agree, but I define toys differently. I also love machines more than anything in the known universe, but I generally prefer to have fun in them.

*I'm also a rich supervillain, so these are my toys

Why do people join forums that have no interest in the forum's subject? Myself, I don't tend to follow celebrities of any sort nor do I care. I also don't join their forums to say I don't care what they do. lol. I also don't tend to watch anything because the masses told me to or sent it in an email, etc and said 'Watch this!!". The truth is, normally that would cause me to ignore it. But this doc on Kaz? I'd be quite interested in watching it. I don't have to tear it apart or judge it to do so. I'd just like to see it. I find Kaz's enthusiasm for what he's doing infectious and in a good way.

Personally, I look forward to it and hope it is accessible to those of us that don't watch Hulu and Netflix and all that. I'd hope it shows up on "Gran Turismo TV" as I'd think that would make sense.

i think Kas is too full of himself :/

A japanese person documentary, his games sell the most in Europe/Japan, but the documentary is only available in the US at release, that makes a lot of sense..

Hmmm you could be right on that. Although despite that, the whole world should be able to see it.

I met him once.

Watching him pacing around a courtyard rehearsing a presentation while sucking down cigarettes like a top fuel dragster sucks nitromethanol was like watching a teenager practising how to ask a girl out for the first time. Far from being full of himself, he appears to be quite self-doubting.

Well, there you go. The answer is contained in the observation. It's market specific PR material that is targeted at the place where it is the most needed, and theoretically will do the most good.

But yeah, I personally don't see the point in such a limited release either. Well, correction, I can think of a few reasons, but all of them would be pure speculation, and rather counter productive to mention without supporting evidence.

I don't understand why people elevate Kaz and PD to some sort of god-like status. He's just a normal guy who works for a big corporation making computer games, and makes a fair few mistakes along the way. He comes across as a decent person and I have a lot of respect for him, based on his personality, not GT. It's the best franchise ever but since the PS3 era it's also the most stressful.

I'm not hating, I just don't understand the hype.

 

[CeeJay]

It's hard not to feel GT as a brand has less and less to do with the actual videogame these days. It feels odd to have this grandiose documentary along side the actual videogame that was met with a rather tepid response in comparison to the previous titles.

Well, he did create the thing that brings us all here.

 

[JHB434]

I don't see this as elevating him at all. It's just a biography. I don't worship the guy but I think it'd still be interesting to watch.

 

[Kobooi]

Those trailers sure don't make it look like a biography/documentary, more like a commercial. And Kaz is self absorbed enough to accept being the subject in this marketing ploy.

 

[jacnob]

Guys, can we please stop calling a man we've never met self-absorbed?

 

[CTznOfTime]

He did not choose or asked to be elevated... we do/did... we all gave him this percepsion... he just worked hard...

He became who he is despite it all.


So will i be able to catch it on Hulu with my 7 days trial?

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Do we have to pay to watch it? D:

 

[TJ13]

It's free for all US people and does not require hulu plus.

To add Kaz will be giving away 1 Million in game credits in a 10 minute preview on Sony's twitch tv. Starting at 5 pm PT Tomorrow.

For those outside USA, users of Firefox and Chrome can use an extension called "Media Hint" that masks the IP in the browser and lets you access services like Hulu and Pandora Radio.

Installed here, already watched plenty of Family Guy and American Dad episodes... and I'm eagerly waiting to watch this documentary.

Is it a streaming service or can I download the movie?

Tomorrow.

But tomorrow's when the movie comes out... What's the point of the preview then?

 

[Downhill Dino]

@ProjectWHaT As per what GTPlanet's News says:

To celebrate the launch of the film on January 22nd, I’ll be joining Kazunori Yamauchi, Tamir Moscovici, and 2013 GT Academy winner Nick McMillen for a round-table discussion on PlayStation’s official Twitch.tv channel. We’ll be talking about the documentary and all things Gran Turismo, and giving away $1 million in-game credits for GT6.

And although the wording is a little odd in GTP's article, how about PlayStation Blog?

Tune into Twitch on January 22nd for a round table discussion with Kazunori Yamauchi, Tamir Moscovici, Jordan Greer of GT Planet, and 2013 GT Academy winner Nick McMillen – plus giveaways including $1MM in-game credits for Gran Turismo 6.

It works, thank you very much.
