Seriously, look at this shit. Look at this shit. How can you announce that stuff and NOT show it off? What is wrong with Sony?

 

[Goldrusher]

Pleeeease, have head tracking in as hinted at before. :'(

• 730 premium / classic cars (now 950 cars)
• 20 tracks, 60 varations (now 20 locations, 70 tracks)
• museum
• head tracking
• 1080p 60fps
• up to Dolby 7.1
• custom soundtracks

Those were in the previous list.

 

[jiggles]

Has roll over been shown yet? I've not seen it in any of the vids I've watched.

 

[chubigans]

Hrm, I'm thinking that means 20 tracks and 70 variations.

Nope, we already went through all this.

 

[AranhaHunter]

What the fuck? What happened to head tracking? That was a feature I was actually looking forward to and it would finally put my PSEye to good use.

●コース - Courses
・20ロケーション以上 - 20+ locations
・70バリエーション以上 - 70+ variations

I'm still not sure if that means 70+ unique tracks or what :/

 

[chubigans]

They changed the blog:



old: solid Japanse release date - March 31
new: Japanese release window – March 2010

old: American and European release date will be announced soon
new: American and European release date will be announced in due course

Yikes, that doesn't sound good.

Don't do this to me, Polyphony.

 

[Death Dealer]

70 tracks? Phew. That is WAY better than 20 with 60 variations.

sounds like 20 "tracks" with 70 variations, although I hope I'm wrong.

Yes! Yes! Yes!,I will gladly wait,This plus the new physics and damage stuff are worth the wait.

 

[Lion Heart]

I'm currently single, but i'll probably be married by the time this game comes out, and I wont have any time to play it :/

 

[Doc Evils]

I wonder if the late damage and new physics has caused PD to delay the game.

I'm saying this now, Fall 2010 for US/EU, probably August/September for EU, October/November for US. One thing is for sure, there ain't no way in hell it's releasing in March over here, SCE will not release their 2 biggest IPs in the same month.

 

[DuckRacer]

If those two things caused the "delay," the "delay" definitely wouldn't only be three months long.

I fucking hope not,First word on a later EU/US release and I'm importing the JP version.

On what page? Link please

If it was 70 unique courses this game would be done by the time Halley's Comet appears again.

Well it depends. If they already had damage don for race cars, mabe it's not that complicated to get it in for the rest?

You will have raised kids through college by the time GT6 comes out. Plenty of time for GT5.

 

[DuckRacer]

Possibly. I don't see why they'd realize "hmm, maybe we should add damage to normal cars?!" at the last second after 5 years of development. That would've been planned from the start.

To be fair, this isn't even a delay. Everyone thought it would release next spring to begin with, it's only when GTPlanet/Amar's winds/vague Sony hints started showing up when people started thinking it could release this year.

Damage is something that been tacked on late into development, for sure.

Amar needs to get punched the wind out of him.

Where can Sony put it?

 

[jiggles]

Nope.

Damn. Well, I can't wait to see it. I can't visualise waht a roll over in Gran Turismo would be like at all.

Um, anywhere they want because it will sell like hotcakes and have excellent legs. Prologue (glorified demo) has sold over 5 million right? They can put this game anywhere and the money printers will get warmed up and print for a very long time.

 

[Lion Heart]

That looks so good in motion.

 

[MrJollyLivesNextDoor]

this was my face opening this thread this morning:

 

[Insertia]

I'm going to work. If I return and Polyphony doesn't have any images of these 'new' features, I'm going to do nothing.

Seriously, someone get PD on the line and let them know we're starving for media.

 

[gutterboy44]

I am not a math major or anything, but I am pretty sure March 2010 is four billion days away. Ahhhhhhh,I have the gaming equivalent of blue balls.

 

[belvedere]

They're doing this to make us buy GT PSP. It's the only possible explanation.

DAMN YOU PD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Firewire]

Yeah it made me do a double take the first time I saw Blims video.

 

[offshore]

Really? I don't see it that way....Kaz said in 2007 they've started modelling damage internally.

I still maintain that I can't believe that after 2+ years testing damage, that a door and bumper falling off is the best they've come up with.

I think it's doing 1080p that is proving to be the big problem and taking the most time. They should have gone 720p to free up more memory.

Are you this pessimistic in RL? Damn mang, you're one debbie downer every time you post in this topic. ;D

I can't believe it took someone that long to figure it out.

 

[Graphics Horse]

I doubt it'll get a full worldwide release in 2009, maybe another prologue to keep people happy.
I'm going with March 2010, as foretold by the whispers on the wind.

People were foolish to doubt the whispers on the wind

 

[Rapping Granny]

WOW what a clusterfuck, Sony and PD have no fucking clue what they want from this game and it shows.

"1000 cars with some damage, no wait, 950 and all have damage. no wait premium cars have damage but no interior damge, no wait...HEADTRACKING, use that, no wait take it out."

 

[Goldrusher]

sounds like 20 "tracks" with 70 variations, although I hope I'm wrong.

It really does say locations now, unlike the previous PR.



Possibility A

Counting all tracks from GT4, TT, GT5P, announcements and the weather thingy *** in Prologue:

- 55 venues (includes Tuscany)
- 73 variations (counting 1 Tuscan track)
- 14 countries
- 8 fictional locations * (stuff like Deep Forest, Grand Valley, etc.)

If you count countries as locations, that makes 22 locations, 73 variations.
Possible ? Not many new rally tracks then.


Possibility B

If you do not include the (never confirmed) "weather thingy" tracks:

- 46 venues
- 63 variations
- 12 countries
- 8 fictional locations *

This makes 20 locations, 63 variations.


Possibility C

20+ photo locations and 70+ actual tracks.



* Maybe those all exist in a fictional "Polyphonyland" and count as 1 location.
In that case, count the countries as locations.

*** The list:

Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Circuit Zolder
Shanghai International Circuit
Circuit de Nevers (Magny-Cours)
Autodromo Nazionale Monza
Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari (Imola)
Autódromo do Estoril
Circuito Permanente de Jerez
Brands Hatch
Silverstone Circuit

Dude seriously calm down.

 

[TTP]

Seriously, look at this shit. Look at this shit. How can you announce that stuff and NOT show it off? What is wrong with Sony?

My sentiments exactly. I simple footage of a car rolling over would be enough to have me hyped.

Is this even playable on the show floor?

 

[chubigans]

Dude seriously calm down.

Seriously. :lol

Plus Polyphony confirmed head tracking two weeks ago. It just wasn't in this feature list for some reason.

 

[dalin80]

Plus Polyphony confirmed head tracking two weeks ago. It just wasn't in this feature list for some reason.

maybe because they realised that its a feature that few cared about, fewer wanted and almost none had the equipment to use.


TGS has just been a utter disappointment.

They are devious fuckers.

 

[BruceWayneIII]

I'm currently single, but i'll probably be married by the time this game comes out, and I wont have any time to play it :/

and you'll get divorced if you start playing it...

Do the math.

 

[seattle6418]

Man, you know your PR and media plan sucks when the community manger of the other team is the best source of information.

Thanks Che.

This... is fucking pathetic. I'm not arguing over the release date or the game itself, but the lack of communication is just incredible. I can't believe Forza's PR guy is the best source for what's going on at TGS at the moment.

I hope they at least clarify the whole 20/70 thing because nobody has a clue. I guess the weather tracks are a safe bet, but they don't show any of those tracks, just the same prologue ones, with the ocasional Tokyo, Nurb and Top Gear.

If you're not gonna give us the game, at least give us some info so that the next six months can be better.

 

[roxya]

If it's not coming until March, I can sort of understand why they didn't really give us new info. Still a loooong way off

Yea I found it sad too. Thanks Che. PD needs a American speaking community manager. Although if they did have one they still wouldn't say anything. SE's english speaking producer that conducts the interviews for FFXI just spam "I don't know" for every question pretty much.

 

[TylerD]

Che's information was great but he messed up one thing.. the 458 Italia IS playable. That is all, thanks for the info Che!

I wonder if "stuck in the hotel room all day" is code for explosive diarrhea? :lol

 

[Absoludacrous]

Man...March is...so long away. I was so convinced of that December date, I'm pretty crushed now.

Honestly debating picking up GTPSP now.
