Megaton GT5 leak. Weather, stunt arenas, go-karting, and track editor! [unconfirmed]

[Skidmark]

Well this means we can have every official track in the world if there enough people creative enough. Also we could recreate all the old GT tracks that don't make it in.

I wish people would get over the cockpit thing, its done now. If its turned you off the game that much buy an Xbox and Forza. That has cockpits on all its cars.

If PD pushed out a game with 1000 cockpits and a few tracks only. No weather, damage, online, track editor or customisation would people be happy? No.

I think this is building up to be an epic game. Although I do think this has taken Kaz's thunder at Gamescom, I can't think of anything else he could announce??

Looking forwards to a kart race round the ring!

 

[Bekimche]

Skidmark I really doubt we will be able to recreate real world tracks. Think about it, takes PD 2 years to create a track like Toscana...

 

[CTznOfTime]

Stelvio Pass or Transfagarasan Road?

 

[Owen.C93]

Yeah how would a track editor work?

Well not identical with all the landmarks etc.. but if you can put tarmac down then why can't you make the actual track?

 

[Bekimche]

If we can put tarmac down and shape it the way we want, yes definitely but somehow I highly doubt it, it will probably just be a simple "put one cone here, another cone there". I hope I'm wrong

 

[Sele1981]

Sounds fantastic! No matter what they will bring us, people will cry...

I´m very excited about this game and the more details we get the harder it get´s to pass this 4 months

 

[SuperShouden]

The "Stunt Arenas" could be like the Playground area in FM3 where people can go and do Demo derbies and the like. go-karting sounds like while you're hanging out with friends in a Track day or something, you can race around a little go-kart course. It'd be fun with friends. I don't think it'd be like ModNation Racers with power-up and things. But the track editor sounds awesome.

 

[balang_479]

You get a quick peek at it around 7:14 👍

they are drift courses, not go-kart.

 

[N155AN]

seems cool, cant wait for someone to create a drift course, i believe its called togue or something... kind of like the tracks in nfs carbon

"Oh, it has been confirmed?

There goes my surprises"

Yeah that just about confirms it for me.

but who is this guy..? amar212 ..? someone who we can believe..?

 

[Paolosev91]

My interpretation of "track editor":
pick up a "LOCATION" and create your own "VARIATION"!!!

Maybe this will clear up the "location and variation" sort of confusion that polyphony is constantly mantaining during these months

 

[Luminis]

I'm kinda doubtful about the stunt arenas. They might be great, depending on the kind of stunts you can do.

I'll be preparing a few rockets to ski jump some of the cars. 👍

Depending on how powerful the track editor is, it might be just about the best thing ever. It might be just an empty parking lot where you can create a 'track' by arranging some cones around the lot. I'm just hoping for the latter to not be the case.

Wheather is incredibly awesome, of course, but I'm not liking the karting stuff. I guess I'll be fine with it as long as it's used as a tutorial or introduction level racing or whatever,

Really?!

Its all specualtion at the moment as nobody has any info, but I don't think a GT track editor will just be placing cones.

I hope you weren't referring to me when you said "people will cry". Just to make it clear, I'm extremely excited about all these new features and can't wait for November. The more features, the better I say

Yeah it doesn't sound like something KY would do, nobody knows anything now we're gonna have to wait til Gamescom but I really hope it's a full blown Track creator Can't wait

 

[Seismica]

Erm... http://blog.us.playstation.com/2010...auchi-creator-of-gran-turismo/#comment-416321

Except the likelihood is, that includes standard tracks that have been ported from GT4.

Expect 20+ new/premium tracks.

 

[N155AN]

this is crazy this is some stuff i really wasn't expecting. I can almost believe that my dream for gran turismo can come true. Please allow us to drive on city streets with civilian vehicles. That would be the greatest thing ever speeding through the city with a sim like this.

+1

 

[Coxis]

they are drift courses, not go-kart.

[Stefan1904]

The translated article on the german PlayStation Site mentions that you can total your car in the stunt arenas.

In my opinion, this is a great way for Polyphony Digital to show their new damage model.

 

[GTMattB]

heres to driving on the nurburgring on a go kart 👍

 

[SuperShouden]

http://www.kartingasia.com/kart_tracks/fuji-speedway-kart-circuit-t185.html

Right. I know a lot of tracks have go-kart tracks where people can race before, during, after and between races. Fuji's you probably wouldn't be able to race on during a race since it's pretty much on the track, but Infineon, Laguna Seca and others also have go-kart tracks. But I don't think you'll be able to just jump into a track. Like I said, I see more like while you're waiting for everyone to arrive at an online race or during a track day or something, you can zip around the go-kart track.

 

[shirakawaa]

Yeah how would a track editor work?

This is my speculation but personally I doubt we will be able to create new tracks from scratch. Probably there will be a complex and long track under "Driving Park" (the GT test track area) where we will be able to close/open sections of circuit and add cones/barriers where needed.

 

[Sele1981]

I hope you weren't referring to me when you said "people will cry". Just to make it clear, I'm extremely excited about all these new features and can't wait for November. The more features, the better I say

Nope, it was reffered to the whole forum and all the other forums where people cry like there will be no tomorrow...

 

[lbsf1]

I can't belive this dreams of karting in gt5 have come true. Give me screenshots, I want to see what types of kart they are and slobber over them in their hi def glory.l

 

[kikie]

GT5 starting to sound more and more interesting. I'm not surprised GT5 got pushed back untill november.

Famine will have his hands full with creating some new tracks with the track editor etc... for UKGTP15.

Could this mean that Spa Francorchamp will be featured in GT5? Spa has a karting track.

 

[BZSIN]

I wish people would get over the cockpit thing, its done now.

I was already getting over it, now this news has made me not care about that whole thing at all.

This. Is. EPIC.

 

[Smoke&Slide]

This is great news, IBSF1 will probably be happy about it .Anyway this stunt arena will that be with pipe ramps etc or like a banger racing track ?.I love banger racing, going out & buying a shed in the afternoon then wrecking it in the evening 👍.

 

[marky5244]

I wonder whether the stunt arena thing is somehow related to Red Bull's involvement - i.e. Red Bull X-Fighters sort of thing (but with cars!). I noticed, in the E3 trailer just before you see Sebastian Vettel, there was a piece of paper on what I presume was a sound mixing desk which had at the the top written "X-1Challenge".

I think think, if that were true, the Comic Book Guy would pop up and go, "Worst. Track Editor. Ever."

Yeah, I certainly hope we got get some lameness like that. If that were true, no one would ever use it but to create drift tracks.

I think the "share" part of that should indicate that it's a bit more than "moving cones around"

I remember a video of the PD studios with a sticker of spa francorchamps.. a suitcase that had all places on it where PD had been..
but that's no confirmation, I just really hope it will be in ...
