Why are you trying to stir up old shit. This hasn't been an issue for quite a while.
I'm not stirring it up, just look up at the top of the last page and people were spreading crap that only a few hundred cars would have cockpits. I was just trying to say how retarded it is that they were suggesting that PD would even think of doing that. It totally goes against everything that PD has done in the past and what they say they are doing now.

I usually wouldn't comment on it but the out right retarded speculation in this thread is out of control.

"Oh premium cars
That must mean normal cars have no wheels and you can't steer them and the 5 premium cars are the cars they have showed us since Prologue!
Yeah gotta be it"

"Oh god premium tracks
I think that means we will get PS2 quality tracks for normal circuits and tickets to an actual circuit race for premium tracks!"

The fact that 908 race car has GRAN TURISMO 5 branded on the spoiler instead of the usual GRAN TURISMO we see on other cars, surely this means GT5 will actually get released this year?
The press release - posted here a few pages back - explicitly said 2010 was an exciting year for the brand because of the release of GT5.

(Boursier.com) -- Sony Computer Entertainment France annonce son partenariat avec la Team Peugeot Sport pour l'édition 2010 des 24 heures du Mans. Sony Computer Entertainment France est engagé dans l'univers du sport depuis son lancement, et tout particulièrement dans le domaine de la course automobile.

D'ailleurs Sony Computer Entertainment France rappelle que son engagement dans l'automobile ne s'arrête pas aux 24 heures du Mans et s'étend à plusieurs pilotes français. Le premier d'entre-eux est Sébastien Loeb, sextuple Champion du Monde des Rallyes dont le Groupe est partenaire depuis plus de 10 ans.

Par ces engagements, Sony Computer Entertainment confirme son ambition de communiquer au travers d'un sport de prestige et de haute technologie auprès du grand public et en priorité vers une cible masculine de moins de 35 ans, soit la grande majorité des joueurs sur PlayStation.

A ce propos, Georges Fornay, VP de SCE Europe et Président Directeur Général de Sony Computer Entertainment France, déclare : "Notre engagement dans la course automobile et particulièrement aux 24 heures du Mans depuis 13 ans est au coeur de notre stratégie marketing. Cette année promet d'être exceptionnelle à plus d'un titre pour les fans de PlayStation 3, puisque 2010 célèbrera la sortie du jeu Gran Turismo 5, nouvel opus du jeu de course le plus vendu de tous les temps sur console de jeux avec plus de 55 millions d'unités commercialisées dans le monde".

i think it's pretty clear 2010 will indeed be the release year of gt5, with all the stuff that's been shown, promos, and what not. perhaps a worldwide release too?
one more week to that release date announcement:D

D

I think people are expecting that at this point. With the Japanese delay that should give Sony enough time to get the game translated and ready to go for a worldwide launch.

I don't know if it's new but I like it:
- close up of car with slow cam movement where you can really appreciate the insane modeling of the cars, unlike GT5P where you can feel when they try to offload the gfx engine
- customized car (?)
- stickers on the windshield in cockpit view
- closely following a couple of cars in cockpit view without tearing or slowdown (again, unlike GT5P)... overall performance seems better, good :D

re-watch the video, there is a shadow, its a shallow 1 but its there, you probably missed it because the video quality is poo

Nah... what you see is the reflection actually. It's strange that the shadow isn't appearing considering all the trees cast shadows on the cars. Could be a bug.

Yep.
CRUSH THOSE BUGS ASAP!! :lol

I could watch this a thouand times

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TXpXclylWg&feature=fvw

Seriously the best trailer of any game everr


Agree. Even the music sounds insanely good in that trailer. Better than the full version of that track.

I even have GTPSP and that song is in that game. But it doesn't sound a half as good as it does in that video. I don't know if it's because they slightly remixed it and upped the bass. Or if it simply because the visuals are so stunning it makes the music more awesome than it otherwise would be.

Nah after the reflection you see the shadow on the sides of the car, the top barely dims because it's too overexposed.

"Real Circuit > Germany"

'20 Locations' = 20 countries?

nay.... who knows... nothing about GT5 makes sense. Please wait for E3 for some further confusions delivered by the man himself.

Looks like two options for races then. Why describe the start type if there's only one type to choose from? There must be a grid start option.

There was one in GT5P. Well not an option, game chose automatically.
 
wouldnt it be nice to have a track day-like online lobby on the 'ring 16 players cap where you can connect and drive as many laps as you want with any car against any car.. when you're done just go to the pit and disconnect and some other player would take your place

Probably doable even if you had to do some workarounds, like 99 laps ^^

Track day with ghosted cars (so idiots wouldn't join) would be awesome. I mentioned this once in the past.
 
but that would still be a normal race that you cant just quit and race against several different people

im saying like a dedicated server where anyone can join an ongoing "race" and leave when you want

By track day I mean a free race, where everyone can join at any time but it isn't an actual race. It's just laps in ghosted cars (no competition) to deter the smash em up types from joining. No set lap limit, no car limit or anything just driving and talking with others.

PD should dedicate server space to this so they are open 24hrs a day or racers can set up their own private rooms and have a track day with friends.
 
yeah fire i was answering murphy :P though i dont agree with the ghosts, get a flag and kick system working or something, people with 2/3 flags warnings are kickable

We've seen a screenshot showing a lobby with people racing, with spectator monitors, and it even had a "ready" status. As long as everyone doesn't set their status to ready the game should allow you to join/leave and race forever.

"Free Run"

I think that's what you're looking for.

Free Run would be very nice. Unlimited laps, everyone is a ghost and can see their own best ghost and the top 3 for the day or something along those lines (customizable).

Particularly if it lets you set up your own with friends, or rotate a daily challenge Internet wide with a reward for the top1-10% (Modnation does this but you are alone vs top player ghost).

As in:
Monday, June 7 - NUrburgring Short version - Stock RWD cars only or maybe a pre-picked car.
Tuesday, 8th - Spa Mirrored - FWD less than 20k cars.

Or you can make your own Free Run room - pick a track, pick a car or a car filter, invite friends who can invite their friends and so on. That way no strangers come in, only those who know at least one person already in.

Brilliant way to just play around, voice chat and give each other advice. No race pressure or time/lap limit.

I'd be forced to play EVERY SINGLE day then :lol

I like your idea of different car filters, but would probably prefer the version with a single stock car that everyone races to try and set some sweet ass times.

Also, great advertising on the LeMans cars as those should be near the front of the field the entire race (assuming nothing happens mechanically or that they don't crash :lol )

They'll probably also have it advertised on the 'Playstation Chicane' so it's going to get plenty of screen time. :P

Thats why they give us a calendar in the game... so we can see what's coming up each day.

Then you can send a challenge to friends - "I bet you 2000 credits I will do better than you on Saturday's Free Run Challenge" Then you can accept, and we each get all day to do our best. When you log in, the game can remind you of your challenge, and say "rhfb set a 1:22:14 for today? Can you top it?" to get us motivated.

At the end of the day, the winner gets the money in his inbox and a mini ribbon to add to his garage. After so many ribbons, a trophy/banner for the wall or a new piece of racing suit. Same with clan wide challenges. Or ribbons/trophies if you are top time worldwide for a challenge.

It would help ensure this game never dies. And rather than award cars or kit pieces that can make a difference in racing (and cause bitching), just make it cosmetic for your car or driver or garage (I hope we get to have a Home-like garage in which we can display our favorite cars and trophies for SP and MP triumphs and have friends over).
