Yes, maybe but what I mean is a real anti skid park with the possibility of making the surface wet. You can never create a anti skid park with a track editor because the grip levels have to be changed accordingly. And the surface is a combination of tarmac and epoxy to make it smooth and slipperly.
Megaton GT5 leak. Weather, stunt arenas, go-karting, and track editor! [unconfirmed]

- your kiddin' right?
lol, 40 is an unlikely number. I'd like to have few different karts though.
This video has it all. Karting, rain, and a custom track. I like how the track surface changes. Hope this is possible on Nov. 2nd

I did an all day knockout kart contest (not upto the speed in the karts but pretty nippy).I managed to get to the semi's just coming round a corner passing second place when he lost it .I had no time to react when he span out and ended up underneath his rear right wheel with a burning hot engine inches from my face . Believe when I say it was'nt a good place to be

Did you not have a helmet?? Yeah my dad cracked a rib on one of his first go's after some guy punted him into a barrier. It's OK though, I got the fastest lap xD, and that's all that matters.

Yes I did have a helmet on ,as it was an organised contest I doubt they would have let me compete without one . Not a good thing to be within seconds of a qualifier and to end with a Go kart sandwich. On a lighter note if you told me to get in one now I'd be in the drivers seat before you could say Super Grippy .
They are fun little buggers 👍

Yep, it's addictive. Luckily GT5 shouldn't be quite so painful.

But Modnation Racers doesn't have weather.
While I love those videos you have to admit Ken Block is an extremely talented driver. There is no doubting it and to downplay that video of his is just hatin on him lol.

250km/h easily on longer straights.
Some more superkart footage, on a street track. Truly insane...

He is an OK driver... Even when he was on SRTUSA he couldn't touch Pastrana. Ken couldn't compete on the WRC stage. And yes, I have seen all his viral videos, seen his rally racing, seen and met him at actual rally events. He is still just an OK driver. One thing that bodes well for him is the fact that he seems completely fearless behind the wheel. That really allows for him to attempt some pretty insane stuff that other people probably wouldn't try.

^ I agree, Block can't compete head-to-head with Pastrana whether on rally or viral stunts.

The Karting will be great, a nice warm up for the F1 championship in the game.

Hasn't Pastrana been doing that sort of thing longer than Block though? That's to be expected.

(If the features that are being discussed in this thread has been confirmed please enlighten me). I see a lot of people discussing about the Karts that were mentioned as being part of the game. Frankly i don't see it happening. I don't think that PD will include Karts in GT5 mainly because there is no reason to. It sure will be nice but we should all keep our expectations low because these are the type of things that can make people very disappointed. When they announce that Karts and Track editor will not be in the game people will start complaining how PD doesn't live up to their words, not realizing that they are the ones that brought it on themselves.

Simply follow the link on the first post and read the full article.
Its from an interview with the president of Sony Computer Entertainment (and Sony board member) by the EU Playstation website.
Given that its a head of a Playstation division stating it on a Playstation website, I'm sure you can understand why people are taking it as confirmation. Its is after all Sony saying it on a Sony website. So if its doesn't come to pass its not as if anyone has conjured this out of thin air or from a rumour posted on a non-Sony site.

they've been semi confirmed. Sony mentioned them in a pre-E3 interview. and I don't think go-karting would be anything too serious. It might even just be a part of the "Gran Turismo For Boys" section of the game.
And I think that's what people have to take into account: There's a possibility that there will be two separate games in GT5: GT5 and GT for Boys, and the karting, stunt arena and maybe even the track editor might just be part of GT For Boys. I'm sure they'd be available to everyone and probably we'll be able to use all 1000+ cars in the stunt arenas, but it'll probably be more of something to mess around with an for kids to play with.

I know both IGN and some other site had contacted Sony with confirmation and haven't heard back. Would be nice if we could get someone else to confirm it, other than basing it off of that article. I'm still on the fence on whether or not it's real...

In all fairness, confirmation in the GT world seems to be a gamble no matter what...
We see stuff from those who should be trustable turn out to be untrue or severely twisted meanings and we see random lists and fortune tellers get it totally right.
Many a time I have seen a point argued on here in which proof was demanded inthe form of the right party confirming it... however that party was ultimately alwas not the part who spoke on it.
Sony said it? We need to hear it from PD.
PD said it? We need to hear it from Sony.
Both said it? We need to hear it directly from KY.
KY said it? You are taking it wrong or it's a bad translation.
Ultimately I don't blame anyone here for doubting the meaning of any announcments with this game anymore...
I don't know why the president of Sony would get it wrong, I doubt he would intentionally lie, but hey Dan Greenwalt should have known the cars in F3 gamelplay weren't going to be the super high res ones, but ya know, sometimes "confirmed" just means "was wrong" too...

HOLY. FREAKING. CRAP.
I go away for a few days on a fly fishing trip (no joke), and I come back to this? Please tell me all of this is true!
Talk about ME-GA-TON. I have been blowing off the track editor rumors from the start, I'll eat my crow if necessary.

Since it came from the mouth of someone at Sony, some say it's true.
I'm still skeptical.

Classic 👍👍
Myself as well. I keep waiting for someone to find a "clarification" quote or the front page to recant......but so far, Sony/PD are content to let us dangle. It's actually the best they could have hoped for after the 'premium' / 'standard' fiasco. So, my guess they will let us debate amongst ourselves until August or sometime in July when Gamescom leaks and info trickles out. Which will start another slew of debates.

Go Karts?
What the hell were they thinking?
