Kazunori Yamauchi tweets!

[MARcFuLLa]

Kaz just posted some new stuff. Can anyone translate it properly?

Apparently it's someone complaining about bugs and crashes of the game after the last update, where Kaz said they will investigate.

In another tweet he said he could not reproduce the bug, i think...

Do not know the accuracy of the translation, did it on google translate lol

Again, I have to say, this is the kind of thing that PD should REALLY be handling through their own website with a bugs and feedback section. I just don't understand it.[/QUOTE]

Has Kaz twitter'd anything about the Glitcher Contest (aka. the Seasonals)?

Are we now "on the dry" for the next few montth?

Again, I have to say, this is the kind of thing that PD should REALLY be handling through their own website with a bugs and feedback section. I just don't understand it.👍

Oh, they have something like that: http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/Gran-Turismo/bd-p/65

But, you know, GTPlanet is the place to be.

Agreed. Kaz being this quasi-community manager figure is hit and miss, and most of time it seems that you have to be in the right place at the right time for Yamauchi to notice a tweet, which is just insane.

How they're communicating with the community is just so flawed.

The problem is two-fold: on one hand you have people complaining on Twitter/Facebook because people are generally too dumb, lazy, or jaded to try to go to the source when they could just tell the world through their favorite social network; then on the other you have crappy web developers everywhere who use bloated CMS/frameworks like Joomla and Drupal that are way too complicated for a busy guy like Kaz to learn how to use. They also don't have mobile phone apps and stuff... posting to Twitter is a simple task for even the least technically inclined.

Twitter and Facebook both offer APIs, though, so really the first part of the problem could be resolved by intelligent web developers and ditching the bloated middleware/frameworks... but talented web engineers who don't rely on frameworks and code snippets are few and far between, and to make matters worse, it takes one to know one and the video game industry doesn't know too many.

In all honesty PD should put up a support forum on their official GT website.

In all honesty PD should put up a support forum on their official GT website.

Or at least they could put a link to the Playstation forum on it.

I thought the GT5 homepage is just a commercial platform. But, oh look, they have now updated something: http://eu.gran-turismo.com/gb/

Seasonal tab with the leaderboard, new stories & the have cleaned the dead GT Blog. At least something done. 👍

Pretty tall order, considering we waited almost 6 yrs for it.

What did you do, hold off on playing any of GT series because of the inevitable arrival of GT5?

Between 2005 and 2010, I personally played GT4 for two years, Prologue for about one year, and GT PSP for about 6 months.

That put me "waiting" for GT5 for about 12-18 months, tops. The whole "had to wait 5-6 years is a gross overstatement.💡

Now while I agree with the idea, that place would have to be highly moderated. Why? Look at this place.

Perhaps a rephrase would be in order:

It took almost 6yrs to make GT5.

While I wasn't anxiously awaiting its arrival during that whole time period, having played GT4 for about 3yrs and GT5P about 3mos,
by the end of the customary 4yr dev time I was licking my chops in anticipation.

Then only to find out at the 2009 E3 Kaz couldn't even field questions about GT5.

A very bad sign indeed.

It would be another year before a release date was finally announced and 20 months past the 4yr mark.

All the while stoking the fires of anticipatory visions of Grandeur in the GT fans.
And rightfully so.
After the extremely long dev time GT5 must be a GT game to end all games. Right?

Any way you want to slice or dice the time frame, swallowing the bitter "forgiveness pill" on GT5, is as said "a tall order"

 

[Astro-Racer]

Can we just update this thread when Kaz actually tweets something?

 

[dice1998]

Sadly, that's too much to ask for

2,500 comments, 127 pages deep, 280,000 views, and the last page contains PD/Kaz should do this and that.

I would LOVE for all of us to abandon ship, and go form ourselves a new car racing game from scratch, with the power of the internet, and collaboration, imagine the possibilities, programmers, investors, input from the gamers and pros at heart, if we all put our collective thoughts and work at this, we elect a team of project leaders, and go and create ourselves a new racing game, for PC or for PS3(we'd have to get Sony's approval, so forget all I just wrote)

A quick and dirty try on Google:

????????????????????????????RT @sato064: @Kaz_Yamauchi ????????GT5?????????????????????????????????????????????????????GT5????????

Under investigation. Sorry to put junk. Do you place any condition? RT @ sato064: @ evening Kaz_Yamauchi, too many bugs in recent GT5. Bagurimasu delivery, but the last event in particular is how terrible. Please respond early. I love GT5

???????????????RT @wanpawa: ????????????????...? ??????

I can not reproduce it here. RT @ wanpawa: and this is my problem ... I'm a no. What?

??????????????????????????????????RT @to22_mi16: ??????????????????????

Know the condition as well. No load on the server I never higher. RT @ to22_mi16: Too many of the online Room rather freeze

So, can this be fully translated then please? Google and 'diegaborges' have done the best they can.

So you personally waited three years. I just chuckle when people post that the wait was 5-6 years, when in reality, it wasn't.

Swallowing a bitter forgiveness pill? For what? Now while GT5 didn't fully meet my expectations, it's just a video game (IE - A piece of entertainment).

There should be nothing to get over.

GT4 release (US): February 22, 2005
GT5 release (US): November 24, 2010

Looks like 5 years to me.

 

[MitchZ06]

Nearly 6...

 

[-Cheezman-]

Nearly 6...

5 years, 9 months, and 2 days to be exact.

 

[MitchZ06]

Closer to 6 than 5

Agreed. Rvery single word.
But, blaming a person that nobody knows ( and no bother to be know, cuz if so, he will tweet in english, at least ), hating a firm locate in japan, and pointing out glitches of a game that can be not more than eh... A game is more fun and EASY than do better...

 

[mcfizzle]

What does any of this have to do with Kazunori tweeting? Can you guys please take your personal discussions elsewhere?

 

[kilttraeger]

What does any of this have to do with Kazunori tweeting? Can you guys please take your personal discussions elsewhere?

This.
Maybe it would be worth while to have this thread moderated..?

 

[maxpontiac]

You are absolutely correct. My apologies.

 

[SuperCobraJet]

What does any of this have to do with Kazunori tweeting?

Not much.

However as threads are prone to do, they often wander off.
Sort of like some of the translations in here.
Nevertheless, a thousand pardons, my good man.

Can you guys please take your personal discussions elsewhere?

While nothing really personal, but admittedly off-topic, perhaps that would be in order.

I tweeted him the URL for the blog on the GT site, I guess he missed it.

Edit: That quote thing didn't work. It's a post from yesterday.

Pardon about my spelling errors, xperia keyboard sometimes is quite annoying...

Yes phone keyboards suck sometimes

It's great Kaz takes time to reply to these messages...however, I speak for all of us when I say he should write his replies in English too...
