Kazunori Yamauchi tweets!

[Disco_Mikey]

Well said that man!

 

[Capp96100]

News for patch, dlc or GTAcademy?

 

[Downhill Dino]

Well......

There was mention of Kaz addressing a Tweet about the Supra RZ.

If you want a pure thread of his Tweets, follow him and use the translator built into your devices' app or Google translate.

Problem solved.

Big problem with such a thing. Google translate, and most web translators do not translate correctly and the result can easily be misinterpreted. It's best to wait for someone who knows the language and understands how to correctly translate, like SHIRIKAWA Akira.

I agree, very true. BUT you and I are probably not getting paid to write for a magazine or other news source where facts need to be razor precise. We are just talking about Tweets that are to encourage us about our game and it's future.. Anything official will be announced with full details anyway. Any insight is better than nothing.

 

[maxpontiac]

If it is a tweet by Kaz, I say post it. It's what this thread is for.

 

[BobbyBRAKEaNek]

I want you to release the DLC as a premium car in the Toyota Supra RZ '97 <m

Kaz said RZ DLC comming!

Finally, I hope this is true.

 

[denny00]

well thatd be awesome

 

[Froudeybrand]

I can't see a definitive comment regarding a dlc getting released unless some one can copy and paste said comment / tweet regarding these I am skeptical

 

[J-KiLLA24]

I'm betting that we'll hear something officially "official" within the next few days.

Add him on twitter!

 

[shirakawaa]

Since there has been much confusion and misinformation around about the latest tweets I translated them all:

Kaz_Yamauchi: RT @keisuke_1898: @Kaz_Yamauchi I'd like to see you open a photo contest! As I want to see what kind of art work can come off GT5, I will be happy if you accept this suggestion ^_^

Kaz_Yamauchi: As I'm happy even with random picks from the Photo Stream, choosing a winner work from a contest sounds difficult to me.

Kaz_Yamauchi: The 80 Supra is n exceptional car. Even today I gasp with surprise when I see it on road. RT @ferrari4050: @Kaz_Yamauchi I want the Toyota Supra RZ '97 to be released as a DLC Premium car! <m(_ _)m> http://t.co/xNxcsWkb

Kaz_Yamauchi: RT @NGSmikiINDY: @Kaz_Yamauchi To be frank, I want 80's~90's cars as Premium cars badly, even as DLC! Especially the currently declining 180SX or AE86 which became explosively popular due to Initial D! Being able to drive cars that are not common is also the mark of the GT series...

Kaz_Yamauchi: this makes me ask questions I probably know already the answer of, like: "If I were to make the AE86 Premium, would you prefer the Levin or the Trueno?"

Kaz_Yamauchi: RT @P08P: @Kaz_Yamauchi As a different domestic release, I instead want 60~70's old cars converted to Premium, I wonder if the Dome can be made premium...! When I was a child I liked the Dome a lot and got an RC version after begging my parents about it.

Kaz_Yamauchi: The "Dome - Zero" not only has a good body design, its logo is also cool. Even today it's incredible. I think that Minoru Hayashi who came out of nothing with that car in that time was also incredible.

Kaz_Yamauchi: Trueno or Levin? 2 doors coupe or 3 doors hatchback? That's 4 choices.

 

[jus1029]

Whoa! Kaz in on to something!

 

[Froudeybrand]

Since there has been much confusion and misinformation around about the latest tweets I translated them all:

Thank you sir I havnt been able to get on PC to translate myself

Add him on twitter!

I have he on twitter my point was no definitive tweet regarding a dlc just banter.

 

[ZohsixGT5]

Good to see him having generic dialogue with fans.

 

[analog]

Good to see him having generic dialogue with fans.

Yep, that's what it looks like to me as well, just casually discussing cars and perhaps teasing a bit, people should be aware not to draw conclusions out of it though.
If Kaz mentions or praises a certain car doesn't automatically mean it'll appear instantly in the next batch of DLC.

 

[maxpontiac]

Well done. It seems some older Japanese cars are coming eventually. Sounds good!

 

[eddyac]

180SX,Supra and AE86 premium?

 

[gambleboyen]

Or maybe he just likes to chat about cars.

Would be another thing if it was the official GT5 twitter account

 

[Patrick]

180SX,Supra and AE86 premium?

Yuck.

 

[pinoyem1]

Yuck.

Clearly the Gran Turismo series isn't for you. 👎 There's always forza or nfs.

 

[Patrick]

I'm just not a fan of those cars.

 

[tribolik]

Clearly the Gran Turismo series isn't for you. 👎 There's always forza or nfs.

Clearly the internet forums arent for you... you can always start a blog and keep other people from expressing their opinion on it...

I would rather have them model the GT3 or DTM cars...

 

[RACECAR]

Clearly the Gran Turismo series isn't for you. 👎 There's always forza or nfs.

Clearly, that argument is overused. Just because someone doesn't like certain cars doesn't mean they don't like GT.

 

[ZoidFile]

Yuck.

You should try iRacing, the car and track selection is very 'american' and the physics are ok .

I would prefer old japanese cars as DLC too, exspecially the Supra RZ.

 

[XEPEGTP]

Well done. It seems some older Japanese cars are coming eventually. Sounds good!

PD should be ashamed.

So many Iconic Japanese cars missing Premium status.

DC2 Integra R
Civic CR-X \ SiR-II EG
AE86
Supra RZ
Celica GT-Four RC ST195
180SX
Z31\Fairlady 2000
KPGC10
L10B
and the list goes on...

Why are people doing this? Did he say he doesn't like Gran Turismo and wants a more 'American' game? Did he say he only drives American cars on American tracks? Was he soliciting requests for game he should play? I'm pretty sure he just said he isn't a fan of those cars, nothing wrong with that.

 

[Watt2159]

If Kaz is dropping a hint about the next DLC......I will buy a plane ticket to Fukuoka Japan, just to walk allll the way to Polyphony HQ, just to give kaz a bear hug!

Agreed 👍

The Gran Turismo series has and ALWAYS will be Japan-centric. It's these new kids that first got introduced to the series through GT5 and was disappointed that Japanese cars are the majority. They started crying for their typical euro supercars or their american boats typically seen in forza, nfs, etc. Japanese cars have always been ignored in all types of media, including video games (check out test drive unlimited). It's only right that there is one game that we Japanese car fans can rely on and one that accurately represents Japanese cars and its culture. I've always got respect for Kaz for doing this. 👍
