This generation has had more worldwide launches around the same timeframe than generations in the past. Why would GT5 be one of those games to not be released simultaneously around the world? I think it would be a terrible move on the part of Sony if other countries didn't get the game at least by April 2010.
No, they don't. Once they actually announce a date, it's usually gold. The GT PSP announcement in May managed to be accurate.ChrisRT said:
It's when they don't announce a date is when the game kinda floats around for nearly half a decade. Like...GT PSP.
I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. :lol
Unless you think Polyphony spent a ton of resources/time on YouTube implementation, which is laughable since it's already built into the PS3 OS and has been used for nearly a dozen games now.

i agree, but by not announcing it today, you leave everyone outside of japan wondering when they will get to play it. if you're optimistic, you would think april, but otherwise...
Loudninja said:
It's stupid, unnecessary and a complete waste of resources/time. No one is going to give a crap about 1/3rd of the cars in the game, if even half of them. At the end of the day, I'd sacrifice Pokemon Cars over a quicker development schedule, and possibly more features, any day of the week. I can't imagine GT5 would sell less if it had only had 600 cars instead of 950. Like I said, wasting resources. Polyphony need to up their game.
Now when GT5 comes out, if it's anything but exceptional they are going to be torn a new one, and rightfully so.

Wow, where the hell did I say it was countries? And don't quote my post, because since when is Europe an f-ing country? I said it was 20 locations, which implies just that, locations. Again, the game will have numerous tracks per location in many cases. And nevermind what the bloggers were saying, get off of that already. They were simply listing what they saw in the video - that's it.
You can moan and bitch like you always do, or take solace in the fact that there will be 70 unique track layouts in the game, 60 of which should be totally unique tracks, altogether -- just like GT PSP.

are you serious? pgr for one. very good weather, in fact
but i would think that if weather was going to be in the game, it would have been announced today. this was supposed to be *the day* for GT.
by not announcing it, personally, I think it's pretty much not going to happen.

Taking a half a decade to get 1 game done, no one asked for 900 cars, while the competition will have 2 games under their belt and some time to spare until GT5 comes.
TheFatOne said:
Sorry dude, but that guy was completely wrong and insulted me several times for no fucking reason. Anybody would be pissed off.
IGN is saying 20 courses with 70 variations in total. That right there is pretty pathetic for a game that's been in development for 5 years, sorry again.

Please carry out that argument to its logical conclusion re: video game development. I imagine you would not want to live in that world.nib95 said:

Honestly dude, why are you in this thread? There's the Forza official thread and the comparison one you can go to. You belong there, definitely.
Thanks. Because it's going to be released in Japan at that time, but it can also release globally everywhere else.
Your statement is fucking stupid and stop reading into everything so much.
Just wait and see.

Why? In April 2009 he said 30 nights before 12 months pass, which is March 2010.TheFatOne said:

Stop spreading your pessimistic BS. It's 20 locations, with 70 tracks. I can't believe you seriously think this game will have 20 unique circuits/tracks.

I am buying the competition, the big deal is that it's taking 5 fucking years for a sequel to come out for my favorite series because of an incompetent developer that thinks he's the second coming of christ.

It seems some believe that they should've announced everything in the game right now even though it's not coming out until March. Seriously, it's not that long of a wait.

Not getting this game out this holiday is a big failure for Sony. Sorry can't spin it. I'm sure it's going to be great when it finally comes out, but like another poster said, the more time it takes the more people are going to be expecting a masterpiece, and the more people are going to be letdown.
Yeah, after thinking about it, I wanna say that 20 figure sounds a bit like a mistranslation, and "locations" is more meaning "countries" (not literally, but something akin to that -- regions, maybe?) rather than "environments" -- it's odd that they'd not specify environments, but they've done that in the past.
But put it this way -- NASCAR, there's no way they're putting in any less than 2 tracks, and we're probably looking at 4-5. Rally, same thing. No less than 2, probably looking at 4-5, if not more. So using the translation that they mean "environments".... it doesn't make sense. That's like 10-16 environments left, but...
Nur is gonna be in.
New York
London
Italy (Rome?)
Laguna Seca
Switzerland
Mugello's almost certainly in.
Fuji
Suzuka
Top Gear Test Track
I don't know what else is confirmed, but that doesn't leave us with a lot of suprises, so again, it doesn't add up.
Countries/regions makes more sense. Germany, England, Italy, United States, Japan, Spain, France, Mexico, Saudi Arabia -- etc. etc. etc. -- makes more sense to fit the number '20', with 70 tracks spanning those countries or regions, all in various configurations.
No? Yes?
edit: I don't know, maybe I'm just trying to "make it work" in my head because I would just be shocked to see only 20 tracks in total. I was expecting a lot more. According to Wikipedia, Forza 2 shipped with 12 tracks, but we're talking tarmac only there, and I definitely much expected GT to outdo Forza by a wide margin on the track count.

Loudninja said:
But it is true. look, I get it, GT5 is a car collectors dream, but not if it's at the expense of other things like time and gameplay. We're not in the PS1/PS2 days any more. I don't think Polyphony realises, but racing games have advanced ridiculously fast. It's not going to be the walk in the park it once was for Polyphony, so they really need to start prioritising.
At the end of the day....sure...a few people out there in the world who own some 1 litre crappy rare little bug of a car with a name that no one can even remember might care that it's in the game. But most people aren't. Just like most people aren't going to care for the 12 different variations of [insert car here]. I just think 950 is such an extreme number, especially if proper damage and physics are to be implemented.
There once was a time where the quality of the franchise itself denoted GT's presence in the car industry and marketing world. Now it's like the opposite has occurred. They model every Tom Dick and Harry car just to have it under their notch as if it's a tick on some car catalogue/trophy collection.
With the time delays with GT5, the lack of updates to GT5P and the weak attempt at a portable version of the franchise, I can't help but think Polyphony are losing the magic. Would they have EVER released a GT game that wans't stellar in the past? Fair enough it's a portable game. But portable doesn't have to mean lacking, as proven by some of the best devs in the world already.

Variations don't mean much to me. It's fluff.
20 is way low considering Prologue has six. London, Eiger, Suzuka, Fuji, Daytona, High Speed Ring.

jett said:
What do you think I meant by environments, exactly? 20 "locations"/courses/environments/whatever with whatever variations they have is not acceptable, sorry. IGN reports 20 courses with 70 variations, I have no idea what you are going on at this point. Seems to me you're kind of crazy.
DarkJC said:
Its amazing that the game didnt come out 2 years ago. I mean others in this thread have a point. Who the fuck needs a thousand cars? I can say with certanty that more then 90% of the players will only rock 5 or 10 cars. I don't give a crap about 20 Civics and 10 Celicas. I mean all of those resources could have been put into real deal damage or more tracks.
Shit's no excuse.
I've been so pumped about the game and that has turned into frustration.
All of this reminds me of when FFXIII was announced for the 360. Ppl will calm down after a while...and by the next reveal they'll be amazed. All of this backlash doesnt matter...the game will still sell millions upon millions and Kax knows that already. Just look at how many ppl bought Prologue. Say what you want about the man but he wants the game to be perfect (by his standards).
Also, everybody has their own preference of cars. I hate hatchbacks but others love them. Alot of what GT is about is being able to get w/e car you want and doing what you want with it.
Do you really think making "20 different civics" is using up resources? They would basically be using the same model so you cant say those resources could have been used elsewhere. Also when 1000 cars was 1st revealed everybody went :O :O :O :O.ChrisRT said:

Yes. That's pretty much exactly what's going on. To think PD would take such a massive step back when they have 950 freaking cars is moronic. Flat out moronic.
Rapping Granny said:
Shit happens. My favorite series happens to be Shenmue, and that game is never coming out. So tough shit wait 6 months instead of 3. Your acting as if the game is never going to be released. At least your favorite series is still coming out. Some of us aren't that fortunate.
jett said:
If its 70 different tracks then that's fine by me, but I can understand why you would be mad.
ChrisRT said:
Nobody knows about damage or weather. We know what damage might look like. Who knows if PD can actually get weather in the game. I know this the current damage is garbage, and they need to fix the AI.

chubigans said:I've got the perfect game for you guys! It has a minimal amount of cars that are great (70+), 12 variations of tracks and lots more!
It's available in stores now! Enjoy!
I purchased that and sold it. It was like a shell of a demo. It was not at all apealing to me. Nothing like the others. No simulation mode meant basically killed it for me.

So people wait 3 more months instead of the envisioned December release, it's not like hundreds of cars/stages/whatever would magically disappear and speed up things substantially to risk it at this rate for the sake of a mere 3 months.

I really can't believe they've not managed to get this game out this year. So it looks like we'll (UK) have to wait at least 9 months before this comes out over here. That's a lifetime relative to console sales. And I guess MS are breathing a sigh of relief that they don't have to compete with all those GT5 Slim bundles this Xmas which would have been a killer combination.
I'm just worried that by the time this comes out there will a whole raft of DX11 based amazing looking racing games on PC and I might think, too little, too late...

If it is Japan only in March 2010 and not worldwide then that is a huge fail.
Parden my ignorance but what is exactly involved in localization other than voice and text translation? GT has no voice dialogue so I can't see it taking long at all. A game like this needs a worldwide launch. Localization should be happening as the dev process moves along.

AlphaSnake said:
No, I wouldn't call it moronic. It's certainly possible.
As I said, Forza2 shipped with 12 tracks, and that was just fine.
But 20 would be the low end of what they should be offering, and I was definitely expecting more. Hence my possible explanation -- though 70 is on the opposite side, closer to "absolutely insane"
Heck, come to think of it, could you even fit 70 tracks and 900 cars on a 25gb disc? That's a lot of data.
I'm not taking your side either, dammit. All I'm saying right now is that something isn't adding up.
So basically you want Polyphony to add more tracks, cars, simulation mode and features eh?ChrisRT said:
Huh, I agree. When GT5 releases in Japan for March it will be about two years since the release of GT5P. And it will have about eight times the content of GT5P.
I'm really having a hard time throwing Polyphony out the window like some of you are.
