I'm probably wrong but isn't it: 20 tracks imported from GT4? Read amar's 2nd wind traduction.

According to the second wind there are 96 tracks...
- 17,109
- United Kingdom
GT5 will be released on december 1, 2009. Release will be global for all regions.
600+ cars, 95 tracks, some of which will be remodelled GT4 tracks/cars.
Ability to create new tracks from existing ones.
Extensive clan/team features.
There will be two versions of GT5. One with all the features in it, costing the most (initially). Small version will be GT5P+, but it will cost you to get all the upgrades to the big version.
Possible PSP/PC release?
At least, that's my interpretation of it.
Not simply bumping this up but its one of the first posts in the thread and I think it hit the nail pretty much square on the head... I might not visit again until the day before TGS... this speculation, guessing, hoping, arguing is getting tiresome!!.... ah who am I kidding, I'll still be back 10 times a day!

Amar,
Some of us very much appreciate what you and the other respected members have been doing. The negative tone on the forum the last few days has been very disappointing. All of this bashing of GT5 based on speculation, rumors and unconfirmed information is sad to see. I wish people would wait until the game was actually out before declaring it a loser compared to FM3, which isn't out either.

To be honest, I'm expecting about double the number of race locations from GT4, which I believe were about 30. Adding variations to some like alternate routes and reverse versions, that came to over 50 courses. So in GT5 I'm expecting about 65 race locations, and with variations would total about 90 race courses.
Keep in mind that there were very few posters here who were calling for 1000 cars in GT5, and they were ridiculed for it. I was thinking about 600 cars myself, but I never shot down any figure. Well, except that 10,000 count post that originated with a wishlist somewhere. When it was pointed out how many man centuries that would take to model, I came back to earth.
And yes, there will be DLC, but I'm praying that it incorporates into the single player game intelligently, at least the tracks. I hated that the track downloads in F2 were useless except for time trials and online.

No, the NASCAR license just includes the logos. There have been several NASCAR games that have not had all the tracks/drivers. NASCAR 2005 didn't have Pocono and the NASCAR Heat series never had all the tracks or drivers.
Also, there are only 22 Sprint Cup tracks.

Ok, I wasn't aware of that. Too bad they took it down I'm sure you could make it even better with more time to understand what it really meant. 👍
just curious, but does amar actually work for Sony is some capacity?
anyway, i know Yamauchi has denied any existence of a track editor, or even thinking of one. but amar, whoever he is, has been pretty accurate thus far and he was pretty clear about skypaths being built from existing skypaths, so im confident that his denial is simply a little misdirection so as to not tip his hand entirely just yet.
i think the inclusion of that feature is just as important as day/night racing this gen. offering a robust, complete track editor in a game of this scope, is a great opportunity to beat any competition to the punch here. weather would be nice, but has been done this gen, livery editor...done, damage..done.
1000 cars, 80+ tracks, full fail damage, day/night cycles, track builder... all pretty unique features that are essential to separating itself from the typical GT and its competitors.
for the record, none of this matters to me. they could announce GT5 as nothing more than a car/track update to Prologue and it would satisfy my needs as a car game.

There have been screenshots posted you know....
Regardless, stop trying to cast doubt on the translations. They're as accurate as anyone can make them. If people don't like what they say, don't blame the messenger.
One thing that i hope GT5 has graphically is 60fps replays. So far all the ps3 GT games including the demo of GT5 have had 30fps replays. It still looks really good but one thing i loved about GT4 replays were the framerate which made the game look so real even now, and its way i spent so much time just watching replays. 30fps isn't bad but if you switch between replay mode and gameplay mode in prologue is a massive difference.
One thing also having 170 cars with full damage is not a bad thing if you think about it, thats more cars with damage than NFS Shift and Dirt 2 put together and probably GRID also.
I personally hope GT5 comes out this year, I've been waiting so long for this game and I know PD will not let me down. One thing that GT has that I don't get from other racing games is soul. GT is more than just a game, I can't describe it but when I sat down to play GT5 I knew the king was back.

Do you know that standard TV runs at 24fps. And watching a race real on TV doesn't look fake because of it. Frame rate over a certain level isn't an issue in making a game look more real or not imo. It can benefit the game having a higher framerate for game play but I really don't mind the 30fps in replays.

I guess we got almost all the details about GT5 from GamesCom now. But I wonder if we getting an article from the journalist team that works together with Amar. I'm sure lots here at GTPlanet wish to hear the answers to the right questions they asked the SONY/PD representatives at GamesCon about GT5 demo. Did your collogues manages it, Amar? Would be great if you could share it with us
Cheers 👍

Add Rain and snow to that list and you have my perfect racing game!
And I agree - to top the competition, GT5 has to have as many [or all] the features that fans want to rise to the top.
The graphics are top-notch as is the vehicle count, but weather, night races and 100+ tracks would add the icing and the proverbial "cherry on top" if they are included.
I REALLY want rain in Gran Turismo 5!
