Kazunori Yamauchi tweets!

[Tyger]

Why doesn't anybody want to tweet him but have everyone else tweet him? I don't know japanese but surely your question can be simplified in just a few words where google translate could get close to what you are trying to ask.

I made my twitter account when I found about him tweeting. And have asked him several questions which he doesn't respond to.

No disrespect, but if you want an answer and it matters that much to you then the best thing to do is ask it yourself.

Which kinda translates to "Why don't you Tweet him yourself? I did, and it didn't work."

I think people are hoping someone truly multi-lingual like Shirakawa will translate all their requests for them, whilst knowing he's already doing a good job of keeping us informed and shouldn't end up the Japanese mouthpiece for all of us.

Ummm, way back a couple of days after GT5 came out, I got my "Birthday car". I thanked Kaz. He replied in English. So yes AGAIN Kaz can speak English.

Sign up for a Twitter acct and send him a message yourself.

This game is EPIC and I still love it! Even though it may have many missing content, the feeling and the driving is unarriveable!!!

BUT! Can anybody who knows japanese, tweet Mr. Yamauchi why they never work on the force feedback effects...

There is so much more potential there to give us an ultimate driving feeling. I played Shift2 (really horrible that game!) and the FFB effects were not good but there was this great "feature" when you shift, the wheel gives you the feedback that you shift. I found that great!

There are so many more great pssoible FFB effects they can implement... And we need immediatlely stronger FFB! I love the FFB from supercar challenge, after 1 hour of playing your arms hurt and I love that...

That would be great indeed.

The FFB is already very good IMO, but adding some more features would improve it even more.

Like a little rumble when we are turning the wheel, a FFB feel that really impresses me, its a RFactor Mod named LEO Plugin, it has a great feel that i'd like to see in GT5!

New tweet:

Kaz_Yamauchi: 今日と明日、Redbull Ringで、このクルマをテストドライブします。 コース、クルマ、どちらも初体験。慎重に走らせるしかないね。http://ow.ly/6mkk9

Kaz_Yamauchi:Today and tomorrow, at the Redbull Ring, I will test drive this car. The track and the car are both a first-time experience for me. I'll have to do nothing but drive it with care. http://ow.ly/6mkk9

 

[MitchZ06]

Don't get your hopes up people, DLC ain't coming just yet....

 

[Fryto]

Don't get your hopes up people, DLC ain't coming just yet....

Exactly, I could already sense some people that would start posting that the RedBull Ring was just confirmed as upcoming DLC

 

[MitchZ06]

Well, the general dipsticks that 'forsee' DLC would claim the SLS GT3 and Red Bull Ring have been confirmed. Fair to say that's definitely not the case as nothing has been hinted at or confirmed other than Kaz is gonna drive an SLS GT3 at RB Ring...

 

[Cosbuster]

Damn, I sooooo want dat SLS GT3 in the game. I hope he rikes it

 

[Pennywize]

Damn, I sooooo want dat SLS GT3 in the game. I hope he rikes it

Yea me 2 we need another standard car in this game

 

[MitchZ06]

Another standard car?.....If we get new cars (IF...) they'll be premium.

lol iwas just being sarcastic

 

[BradKinder]

New tweet:

Has he mentioned whether we'll see new GT5 downloads today?

 

[shirakawaa]

I would have translated that if he did.

 

[shirakawaa]

Not my best translation (the original text was intricate), but it conveys the meaning well enough. I think he's referring to the time trials and that since only the top 10 positions have replays it's not possible to tell, beside those, who is cheating:

Kaz_Yamauchi: 奥深く悩ましい。ため息が出ます。本来なら特権的な権利を持つ「人間＝ジャッジ」がグレイゾーンを残したまま個々のプレイを限定的な時間の中で可否を最終判定するのが、あらゆるスポーツの原則ですが、オンラインランキングではシステム上、上位１０名までしかリプレイが残らないのでそれも厳密...

Kaz_Yamauchi: I feel deeply troubled. Sighs are coming out. Normally, those who have special privileges, [the judges], decide the final verdict on individual [races] from limited times, leaving out the "gray zone". This is the rule in every sport, but on online rankings, due to system [limitations] there's a replay only up to the top 10 places and this is strict [as a limitation]...

 

[Mush_nz]

Akira, have we heard any rumblings about Kaz attending Tokyo Game Show?

 

[shirakawaa]

I would have translated that if he did.

 

[Mush_nz]

I would have translated that if he did.

Just thought I'd make sure. Thanks anyway.

 

[ZR1fan]

He better put in the CTSV wagon as DLC, I would love to embarrass some little child who cant drive (we all know those knuckleheads in the online rooms) in a DB9 or M5 with one

tilt_arakawa@Kaz_Yamauchi このような厳密さを求められるイベント開催の場合は、リプレイを残す数を増やし、ジャッジが人力で除外する事を提案します。どんなに頑張っても事前に全ての抜け穴を塞ぐ事は困難だと思います。

Kaz_Yamauchi先験的に抜け穴を防ぐのは難しい。事後的に裁量できる可能性を残しておく。そういうことでしょうね。コースが誰の目にも明らかでないTop Gear Test Trackは、他のコースにも増して困難でしたね。一方で、それを企画した欧州の人たちの思いも理解できます。

Kaz_Yamauchi時差ぼけで、こんな時間まで起きていてしまった。おやすみなさい。

Using my PS3 so have no idea how to translate it :-(

 

[MitchZ06]

tilt_arakawa @ Event For this kind of rigor required to Kaz_Yamauchi, increase the number leaving the replay, and suggests that human judges to exclude. To close the loopholes of all luck in advance no matter how hard I think.

Prevent loopholes Kaz_Yamauchi is difficult a priori. Leave the possibility of an ex-post discretion. It would be such. Top Gear Test Track is not clear to everyone that course, I did another course even more difficult. On the other hand, can understand the European project thought it 人Ta Chino.

In the jet lag Kaz_Yamauchi, had not up until this time. Night difference.

 

[Masi_23]

Not true, I'm painfully familiar with the draft effects. Just did an hour long race at Indy road yesterday and the draft pick up's exactly the same.

I confirm this as well. We just had a 250 km race at Suzuka and it still feels the same as it ever was. Also had a bunch of races at Daytona Oval and still accelerating by 25-30 mph within a few hundred yards.

It's stupid in your view.

That tells a lot about you as a person sir.

lol. I would not even honor that with a response.

Ok, i got this to say though. You said 'stupid stuff' - It's your opinion, isn't it? That doesn't mean it reflects on every single person on Earth. That's why i said it's 'in your view'.

This guy.

if you use Google Chrome it will auto translate the page for you!

Thanks 👍 ill make sure to use it

Looks like he's talkin about the corner cutting in the Merc Event?

 

[NjLowrider]

I have notice it's a bit less actually. 600pp gt500 cars at Suzuka and you barely pick up a draft down the straight. Before it was super easy to pass.

Maybe made it more realistic? Same at high speed but cut down at lower straightaway speeds?

This is a placebo effect. There's absolutely no difference at all in the draft. Your perception is just telling you differently. I guarantee it.

People think it changes after every patch.

...and damage....and shadows...and standard quality...and bob know what else...lol

 

[Griffith500]

Whilst other people seem completely oblivious of / in denial about any small, undocumented changes that do occur. "lol".

If the "alpha bending" from the smoke effects, rain, and debris haven't been improved, then something's not right. It's definitely improved. Along with shadows and many standard models' quality. The standards used to havee horrible shadows to the point that they didn't even look like an automobile's shadow. Now it's not a problem at all. We just need someone that can do a comparison. Someone on here has two systems, one with updates and the other with none of them. Unless, we can find some other gracious person to find out for sure.

That seems just about right.

I agree, I really can tell there's a difference in some standards quality and shadow quality.

FPS has been smoothed too.

What do all these posts have to do with Kaz tweeting?

To clarify, I'm NOT saying nothing like that has ever been changed. Just observing that many people tend to believe that there are changes to such things after EVERY patch. Obviously after 12 updates, some things are going to get tweeked. Lol, If I was Kaz, I'd just release fake patches, with pics of my cats or something to give them good sizes, at the rate of one per week. You'd see the list of "undocumented changes" grow with every one, has people imagine the patch changed this or fixed that. It'd be great for PR, with no real work involved. lmbo.

I found a slightly different translation:

"The a priori is difficult to prevent loopholes. Leave the possibility of an ex-post discretion. It would be such. Top Gear Test Track is not clear to everyone that course, I did another course even more difficult. On the other hand, can understand people in Europe thought it was planned."

It's a reply to reactions about corner cutting, but I don't quite understand the reference to Europe. Maybe Europeans thought they were driving correctly but were accidentally cutting corners?
