Many thanks for the translations PatrioZero.

And for the customers allready owning GT5P, im quite sure most would appreciate the work done on GT5P going to GT5 instead.

Well, it depends.

If Kaz is going to have us test their online system, I think that would be a great use of a Prologue update. Beyond that, I would like to have Prologue updated with GT5 physics if the game is going to be delayed till fall, especially late fall. The TT demo has really spoiled me, and now Prologue feels like an updated GT4.

Me too. I often wonder how they can test the online component properly, without involving (many) people outside PD. I mean, do they setup a slow in-house network to simulate folks who are geographically far apart? Despite how easy it may seem to some, racing physics over a WAN seems like rocket science.

I have updated the first post with Patriotzero's and Christopher's translations. Good job guys.

 

[patriotzero]

Thank you Guys.

great, 6 years for 20 tracks, no night, no dynamic weather.. amazing PD.

Thats happen when you have too much development time, in other hand, why you expect something diferent from GT4 (3,2,1)?

Sorry my english.

It's fair to say it means 20 track locations, with each location having at least one track, and most tracks havng one or more variations. Do you really think that GT5 will only have 20 tracks in total to its name, with NASCAR and Rally confirmed? That doesn't leave much room for standard road coarses now does it?!

Night racing has been confirmed already (and seen in videos). We just don't know if it is dynamic day/night cycles on every track, or just specific tracks with night settings only.

As for the weather, absolutely nothing has been seen or confirmed whatsoever...yet.

You're jumping to conclusions (like many other fans) is amazing. Are you truly that easily convinced that 6 years will amount to only 20 tracks after having more then that the last three games? Really? Not to personally attack you, but surely common sense resides somewhere in that of brain of yours to easily relize that is by all means horribly wrong.

Why people complain about 20 locations / Tracks and 70 Variations?

Heck, 70 variations is a lot, and i bet almost all of us will not master all of the tracks.

With GT4 and so many tracks, I only mastered few tracks? maybe not even! WIth Prologue and handfull of locations, I master ALL of them! So sometimes LESS is better to learn on racing properly.

Nurburgring, La Sarthe and Trial Mountain are in dude, nothing else matters to me.

People complain about 20 locations / 70 variations mistery because they take literally whatever PD says. That leaves a lot of room for misunderstanding.

Absolutely spot on.

Im a keen hotlapper and if the leaderboards are similiar to GT5P then thats a huge number of leaderboards i.e 950 carsx70tracksx2 standard/professional means 133000 leaderboards to hotlap on. No change of putting in a decent laptime on all those boards which means I would have to be selective in which tracks I want to hotlap on.

Not complaining about the final number of tracks as we don't even know the exact number yet and as Dan_ says we can't or shouldn't perhaps take everything or even anything PD say literally.

However I would like the same amount as GT4 if possible, or at least all the real life tracks and some classic "made-up" ones, as I and probably most will maybe not be able to master all of them equally, but at least have the choice to decide which we want to master.

"Less is more" is a saying I generally agree with, although "more is more" is better apt when it comes to GT5 ( be it cars, tracks or other content ) as it has always been about choice and personal preference regarding all content and deciding yourself which path ( or track ) you chose.

Ofcourse a certain limit will make you focus more, but I would like to decide and set those limits myself instead of going around the same old 6 tracks ( with all variations ) over and over again.

Sure, those tracks are familiar to me but ultimately become boring ( even Suzuka, never thought I'd say that ) and can't wait to experience different tracks ( old and new ones ), whether I will actually master them in time is to me frankly irrelevant as GT has always been about having fun foremost.

Not saying you are going to be wrong, but where is your official source that states Trial Mountain is going to be in GT5? It's highly likely given that it's been in all major releases to date, but until it is confirmed as in, it's as good as out.

Night racing has been confirmed already (and seen in videos). We just don't know if it is dynamic day/night cycles on every track, or just specific tracks with night settings only.

And what to confirm?Night track were in ALL GT's before.

Just don't lie to yourself - no dynamic day/night (only night tracks as in GT1,2,3,4.), no weather, lots of screen tearing, "brickwalls" everywhere on rally stages and bouncing collisions dare i say...

For 3D - we see it, no doubt about this, 950+ cars - no doubt about this, tuning - oblivious it will be amazing just because cars are so detailed - what is clear remains clear.All beyond this are almost our fantasies - even if they are based on what Kaz says.Simply Kaz talks too much, then something goes wrong or comes "it's harder than we think" factor.

About tracks- Kaz said "20 track LOCATIONS - and there will be tracks on that locations" (tgs 09, ign).He means regions/countries etc.I think it's at least more than 20 tracks...

 

[subsonic]

Locations means regions, countries..... for example
USA will have many tracks, Daytona, Infineon, Indy, may be Watkins Glen
Japan- Fuji, Suzuka, Tokyo R246, Special Route 5(night)

Just two countries and we have 8 tracks, just 12 tracks for the rest of the world? I don`t think so. There will be more than 20 tracks.

 

[Custer85]

At least the interview killed the hype for me, which is a good thing. From now on i honestly expect GT5 to become a GT4.5 HD with damage. But i don't mind, GT4 was a blast and GT5 will be a superb simulation, with even better physics, visuals, multiplayer, more cars and better sound. Sure 20 locations, or 20 tracks is still unknown, but i don't actually care anymore. Its going to be more than 70 variations, which is still a good amount of tracks to race on. They may not be as unique as a whole new track, but its another layout, that you have to master.

so long..

Woah, did you mis-read something, or am I just totally missing the point of what you are ranting on about?

The fact is, we do not know if we will have dynamic day/night cycles, or if it will be like it was in past GT games. If it's like past GT games, will all tracks have a night racing variant, or just some of them? We don't know. Regardless, I'm not sure why you are convinced I'm lying to myself. I have no expectations, nor do I care what they ultimately implement.

Same with weather, I simply corrected paulpg87 when he said that there is no weather. We do not know this, and just like night racing, I have no expectations, nor do I care what they ultimately implement.

If you have facts to cement these things either way, by all means share them. As it stands, I'm not saying anything about their presence and/or scale of implementation. If I knew we didn't have weather, I'd say so.

For 3D - we see it, no doubt about this, 950+ cars - no doubt about this, tuning - oblivious it will be amazing just because cars are so detailed - what is clear remains clear.All beyond this are almost our fantasies - even if they are based on what Kaz says.Simply Kaz talks too much, then something goes wrong or comes "it's harder than we think" factor.

It's all well and good stating the obvious.

About tracks- Kaz said "20 track LOCATIONS - and there will be tracks on that locations" (tgs 09, ign).He means regions/countries etc.I think it's at least more than 20 tracks...

Isn't that practically what I said in the first place?

It wasn't confirmed and not even rumored, I lack any official info, mostly because there isn't any , however, it is the most iconic track ( in my opinion ), and one of Kaz's favourites. It's an assumption that it will be in.

Of course I can be wrong, and then you can say the classic "I told you". But it would be impossible to have a full GT game, without the best of the original tracks.

 

[squishydk]

20 tracks would be fine for me for starters. As long as LS ring, and a few other exciting tracks are in, I can live with 20 tracks. It is quite a lot anyways, and no-one says there will not be more in DLC fx.

 

[RACECAR]

And what to confirm?Night track were in ALL GT's before.

Um, what? He didn't say "Night Track" he said "night racing", which means having to race at night on tracks other then Special Stage/Clubman stage.

 

[alucard0712]

Yes we don't know but we feel.Anyone.And if we don't lie to ourselves - we can predict.It's basics of magic, don't kill me after that.I case of GT5 very good that i'm wrong!!!But i feel there is no weather and no dynamic time change!
(again - maybe i so pessimistic now - and i'm feeling it wrong!!!)

it's just my opinion!!!try to understand!

 

[hardvibes]

Same here.

 

[scope72]

Personal opinion, but I feel that we cannot be that literal with the translation. Personally, I won't believe other tracks will have night racing until I see it for myself.

 

[Lewis_Hamilton_]

Yamauchi will give a proper statement clarifying night racing sometime "soon". All tracks will feature night racing, Yamuachi will just ask the players to turn their TV's contrast and colour to minimum, and alter the hue so that the orange sun looks more like a white moon, thus achieving the desired effect. He will also state that players have to use their imagination a bit.

 

[squishydk]

It doensn't matter much to me with night/day dynamic, or dynamic weather, or even livery. I just hope for a buffed up version of the other GTseries games, more cars, a few new tracks maybe, better gfx, bit beter sound, better online, bigger GTmode. Everything else is a bonus, and nothing i would miss. That being said, i most likely would love it if it was implented but i can wait for it to come in an update later.

I think the problem with interviews with kaz is the many different versions that emerge in English. One small word, can mean worlds of differences. Until E3/TGS i guess we can't use "info" for much, as it is at best, unreliable.

He never said that ALL tracks have night variants.OPM said this.

Yep, my favourite track too, by quite some margin! Like I said, I'm sure it will be there in its High Def glory, but as we know, nothing is yet confirmed.

While I've got no real expectations around dynamic, or even selectable times of day and weather, I must admit it would be quite nice to race around Trial Mountain in various conditions.

I would be happy to race in TM as it always was, nice and dry weather, having night and rainy options would be awesome too. And TM is my favourite track now ( the ring is the Olympus of motorsport, it isn't a track ), I used to love Suzuka, but after Prologue, I just can't enjoy more than 5 laps at once in that track.

Yup, I hear ya' It's why I never play Prologue etc. these days. I'm just waiting for the full game now.
