This deserves its own thread.

"What can we look forward to when Gran Turismo 5 releases on PlayStation 3?
Gran Turismo 5 will offer gamers an experience more rich, more in-depth and more exciting than they might expect - even from a series as closely identified with innovation and invention as Gran Turismo. Not only will Gran Turismo 5 deliver an even more comprehensive set of cars and courses than gamers saw with previous iterations, it will also feature new game-enhacing graphical effects such as damage, night racing and weather.

These innovations are twinned with the option to join millions of like-minded individuals globally within the Gran Turismo community and to find a driving experience to suit, whether that is taking on the Top Gear test track, chucking cars around stunt arenas, go-karting, creating and sharing your own track or intense head-to-head races. Who, where and what to drive is completely down to the individual.

This time around Gran Turismo is likely not just to be the definitive driving experience but a definitive gaming experience full stop."

"Oh, it has been confirmed?

There goes my surprises"

Yeah that just about confirms it for me.

 

[VBR]

Nice find, I hope it's all true!


👍

 

[Vincent Viceroy]

What does 'stunt arenas' mean? Also, go-karting...for real?

Weather and creating tracks to share though.

WOW.

 

[sumbrownkid]

I really doubt stunt arenas and go-karting are in GT5. If they are, then I can bet a lot of people will be pissed that PD did that instead of trying to get more Premium cars in.

 

[paskowitz]

Oops looks like a mod will have to fix arenas. Somehow an a got in there.

 

[Turbo-Kai]

> track editor <
Oh my god.... Have our prayers been heard?...
Maybe to good to be true...

 

[Zimmerd]

Please stop about the premium thing, then let them be mad!
It really sounds exciting..
and I hear weather! weather! Night... High beams, tire wear (was in previous gt's.. and now that they're re examined tires..) .. Oh my god, what a game..

 

[Strittan]

Stunt arenas? Oh dear...

 

[sumbrownkid]

@Zimmerd: Was that directed at me?

Cause I don't really care about that aspect of the game, I just want the game.

Track editing and weather would be very welcome additions though.

hm... did this man confuse GT5 with ModNation Racers?

[ultram]

If its true, it would be awesome.
Hopefully PD will give us a statement to this or a new trailer now that we might know it.

No sorry! I should have rephrased that..
You're right, the premium whiners will complain..
but they will always complain

Thought about that too for a second

 

[eSZee]

It all sounds like one terrible translation, translated again into something even worse.

Karting and creating your own track sounds like the original content, before translation, was talking about TRACK DAYS. Renting out a track and having fun with friends. It's makes sense but I could be wrong.

 

[sumbrownkid]

@Zimmerd: No harm done man.

no doubts about a "real" track editor?

 

[Paolosev91]

This thread says "unconfirmed"... GTPlanet's home page says "confirmed"!
Anyone who enters this website would be more confused that we are yet

 

[sumbrownkid]

Only the go-karts and the stunt arenas I doubt...everything else is gravy.

Go-Karts im cool with, some Karts reach 200kmh. Picture them as Micro F1's

Weather, amazing, but, sad, that those millions of rain drops, and chunks of snow might not be splattering on every windshield.

Track Editor is cool, as long as you have proper custom textures, and enough 3d objects and the ability to mold geometric shapes together to make other 3d objects, but surely there will be some sort of CPU limit. Either way Gilles Villeneuve here i come.

Dare i say it?, a Dirt\Snow option?? Make our own PTP stages?? No I'm getting ahead of myself.

You kidding? Gokarts would be cool as!

Guys... It's from Shuhei Yoshida, President of SCEWWS and posted on the official Playstation website, it can't be more official than that. Not to mention he's one of the board members of PD.

 

[scope72]

So, what exactly is unconfirmed. I'm not a morning person at all and now I'm getting really confused.

 

[Seismica]

My thoughts too

Track editor keeps coming up again and again... It is highly likely from my point of view.

But Go-karting and stunt arenas? I remain sceptical about those.

 

[marchi]

People should be very weary about this track editor business. I have a feeling its not what most people think. I very much doubt it'll be anything bigger then the beginners course from GT4.

 

[sumbrownkid]

You kidding? Gokarts would be cool as!

I'm not denying that it won't be awesome, but at this point of development, and haven't seen anything about go-karts, makes me put the go-karts in the doubt pile unfortunately.

 

[wbrinkman]

Go karts sound plausible (you can see the go-kart area in GT5 Prologue on Fuji for example modelled) but a track editor? This isn't ModNation racers.

 

[Strittan]

Go-Karts would be awesome, but I personally don't think stunt arenas and a track editor goes along with the style of GT.

Interesting, I never noticed that in Fuji.

 

[Owen.C93]

Finally the track editor has been confirmed. I thought it would be done at E3 but it wasn't, and then this post comes up from the first day of E3 lol.
