Kazunori Yamauchi tweets!

[tinram]

Could you imagine if he registered? We would be able to give him all the feedback he needs.

If he registered, someone will start a "Kaz disappointment thread".

 

[brainfade]

Jordan, PLEASE get Kaz to join GTP!

Not a good idea, he doesn't deserve to be trolled witless by the more inconsiderate of posters who will go further than reasonable criticism and resort to personal criticisms, maybe even insults. We all know that this will happen so it's not a good idea unless GT5 was a niche game like WipEout.

True, but look at some of the hateful and just downright horrible things people have tweeted to him. But either way trolls will troll.

Like I said before, HEAVY MODERATION. If the trolls can't get to him then it would be fine. And he wouldn't be an active member, he would just partake in weekly 30-minute Q&A sessions.

 

[CCXRacer]

Dreamin! I'm on the side of him not joining this forum, he doesn't deserve the crap some people would write to him. Even with moderation it's sketchy. Glad he supports GTPlanet though! Definitely makes you think they are paying more and more attention to the fans. (if all the updates weren't enough evidence.)

 

[TimberW]

gtp premium section. That'll do it!

You're giving us too much credit if you think we wont also harass him endlessly.

 

[ParkourVeyron]

How about just a minimum # of posts before you can ask him a question, let's say 500? That would keep 90% of the roaches out.

Moderating would be a lot easier and I, for sure, would pay for it if he were to post in the Premium section.

This, too. Exceptions won't be too difficult to think about. If he only posts in the Premium section, the first "100" posts of a premium member are moderated.

Everything that Kaz writes will be made viewable through a shortcut somewhere.

This is fantasy thinking, but still cool to think about.

 

[mattythedog]

Even if it happened, do you think any moderators want to spend 30 mins of their life every week deleting 100s of idiotic posts. It would be so tedious for the mods.

 

[Hayden]

I don't like how off topic this has gotten, but i have an idea.
Maybe Jordan could set up a new section in the Feedback for people to vote for the questions they want to see answered by Kaz. That way it would be easy for mods as the stupid questions wouldn't get voted for, and the popular/interesting questions would rise to the top.

Now, back to Kaz's tweets...

 

[Snaeper]

Now, back to Kaz's tweets...

There haven't been any.

As much as I hate twitter, I've got a tab up following the #SEMA hashtag or whatever you call them. Keeping an eye out for news on the GT Award winner.

Looks like Bryan Heitkotter* is hanging around and Jordan was tagging along with Yamauchi-san most of the time. We'll have to ask how that went.

You're right.

Battle positions!

 

[Aarala]

Can someone tweet Kaz to ask for a cockpit view on the GTR Proto? It must be the only car in the game without one. Even if blacked out it'd be fine, just need my cockpit view!

 

[Tesla]

It never had an interior in real life. It was just a show model with blacked out windows.

Ah ok. Still could use a blacked out cockpit like standards.

 

[GTP_Monkey]

And if he only posts in premium, the trolls will pay and follow.

Kaz keep your anonymity.

 

[Tenacious D]

Mindless spamming wouldn't make you any worthwhile to ask questions. And how would you judge 500 intelligent posts, or 20? I think one strike and you're out, Premium revoked would work.

I'd love for the Master to join and be available for suggestions and ideas, especially since work is in the beginning stages on GT6. Still, a "Questions/suggestions for Kaz" thread would be okay, and could be weeded for stupidity fairly easily.

 

[GOTMAXPOWER]

Kaz might have an account on here called SVETTEL123456789 or something n00by to keep an eye on whats going on.

I would say it's more likely he get's his lackeys to do stuff like that. 👍

What's the point of having slave.....I mean employees, if not to do the things you can't be bothered to do yourself?

 

[ZohsixGT5]

Hopefully we'll get a hungover tweet today from Kaz.

 

[GTOne2Three]

Just ask kaz for audio options in the pause menu. That's all I want for now. I think if we stop asking for big stuff like premiums and wheels, we'll seem less spoiled.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Hopefully we'll get a hungover tweet today from Kaz.

I would be he's already on his way back to Japan.

 

[ItsHim]

I'd love for the Master to join and be available for suggestions and ideas,

You really think a veteran of the genre and big cat at Sony needs the advice of any of us? I mean, really?

What good has ever come out of that? Dumbed down license tests, dumbed down AI (now fixed), only one expert seasonal after the original ones. Just to name a few.

No thank you, I think GT5 had its share of consumer advice and feedback.

And considering all the rudeness I rather have Kaz not put up with all this.

PD is already monitoring here and other boards to make in game adjustments.

 

[another_jakhole]

^^^ Well, that's another reason why Kaz doesn't need to join. You guys are right.

If they made it accurate you would just get a full black screen with some dials.
Pardon, it wouldn't even have dials.

Can you be bothered to go into more detail? It was on the news page of GTP Sony approached random individuals for feedback on GT5.

And, of course, Kaz tweeting, which is the subject of this thread.

It's been mentioned by Kaz that they have people regularly checking forums and looking anywhere for feedback. He said GTPlanet in particular. The home of GT.


Tried looking for the proof from Kaz's mouth, but I gave up after finding this

PSM3: What do you think Polyphony Digital think of GTPlanet?

Jordan Greer: They are familiar with the site and keep a close eye on our forums as our members share their thoughts, ideas, and criticisms. Nearly all of the major features the GTPlanet user base has asked for were implemented in Gran Turismo 5. I think they appreciate our feedback and interest in their work.

Interview was done a month before GT5 released.

I humbly approve everything you said and you completely shared my personal feel about whole "community knows better" carnival 👍
