Gran turismo 5

[Simmion_1]

I was checkin out some GT5 info and found a cars list..

http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum/ga ... o-5-a.html

not sure why a racing game has several versions of HUMMWV's to include an 1114 (not exactly speedy)

pretty cool stuff though, i didnt look through the entire list there, some 340 cars, supposedy going to be about 1000 cars in the game, i think thats a typo at the top that says 10,000..

[MaximusR3]

that list was posted in 2007 and after all the list posts, many people are skeptical and say that is only an elaborate wish list and nothing official. Google searches have found me this article at 1up.com, posted in Aug, '09 stating that the game will feature 1,000 vehicles and 60 tracks. I guess we shall see soon enough


As for the Hummers, Gran Turismo has always had a lot of vehicles in it that aren't exactly built for speed but still fun to try out and see what it would theoretically handle like on a race trace. Be prepared for many amusing vehicles like this and i'm sure there will be special class races for many of them too

Cant wait for this one gunna be great. The only racing game I have played since the last Gran turismo was Grid... Just not the same :twisted:

Cool article, I <3 the gran turismo series... 1&2 not so much, 3&4 i really loved.. the only racing games that i can really get into. Im not so excited about the crash dammage though. I read a while back... maybe in my gt4 guide about why they didnt put it in there to begin with, and it really made sense, the developer put it something to the effect of not wanting the player to have to constantly worry about repairing their car. getting more time to just play and race.

I just really like the way that its all about skill and not just like need for speed and other series that you never let go of the gas...

I was a little iffy on the vehicle damage idea at first but after letting it sink in i think it will be for the better because it will provide an even more realistic driving simulator than it already was. And it will give more purpose to the pit stops than changing tires on the really long enduro races. I need to keep up with you guys and start work on my own driving rig in time for this game

I am stoked for this game. I played GT3 (or 4 can't remember) the whole time I was in Iraq. I had a BAD ASS Supra. That thing dominated on the track. I am stoked for this game to come out. It has been too long.

I am very excited about GT5 I played all the GT games . I remember the first one I ran the Mitsubishi 3000 don't remember the model car but it was a Mitsubishi . I had that car topped out with all the bells and whistles .I have been building my racing sim just for this game. [ I posted pics of it on the tech forum].Once it comes out I would like to race with you guys . Also excited about nascar racing being part of the game.

[Simmion_1]

Yeah, i just use the controller. I would probably suck really hard with the wheel/pedals setup.

Polyphony still has tricks up their sleeves, such as this recently revealed track creation and kart racing features

The course count for Polyphony Digital's real driving simulator Gran Turismo 5 is now approaching infinity, thanks to the game's just revealed Course Maker, shown off today at Gamescom in Germany.

Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi demoed the Course Maker feature today, showing that it's not the type of tool that will let players build a custom course from scratch, but something different. A fully featured track editor, Yamauchi says, "really requires a complete CG tool, which would limit the number of users who could use it."

Instead, Gran Turismo 5's Course Maker lets you build a custom racetrack based on a set of parameters. Players can select a theme, choose the number of sections and course type (one way or loop), weather, time of day and length. Two of the themes shown off were Toscany and the Belgian High Fens.

The Course Maker lets you edit that track section-by-section, choosing the frequency of curves, course width, sharpness of corners, degree of topography tracing, and bank angles. Those choices are set by sliders or drop down lists. Yamauchi created a pair of custom tracks, both with the same theme but with different parameters. He quickly took each for a test drive, illustrating how quickly a player could create two very different courses.

Yamauchi also offered a look at Gran Turismo 5's newest vehicle, karts. The Polyphony Digital head honcho said that it was planned to be a feature for the next game in the series, but after the feature was apparently "leaked," the team decided to include it earlier.

We'll have more details on Gran Turismo 5's other new additions soon.

Does anyone have this on preorder yet? I am thinking I need to!

[InkaB0DpaiN]

Why yes ..yes I do !

[MARDIGRA21]

Not yet but I will be buying it

[MARDIGRA21]

Guess what delayed again lol

From ign.com

Gran Turismo 5 has been delayed once more as Sony announces it is to miss its November release date.

"We sincerely apologize to GT fans for the delay," explained the official US PlayStation blog, "however, creator Kazunori Yamauchi and the team at Polyphony Digital want to make certain they are creating the perfect racing experience, and we are confident that this ambitious game will exceed expectations when it launches."

Gran Turismo 5 was slated for a release on November 2 in the US and November 5 in the UK. Sony has since confirmed that the delay is global, with its European outlet saying it hopes to reveal a new date before the end of the month and that it's to see a release before Christmas.

We recently took Gran Turismo 5 for what we thought would be a final spin before its launch.

[Ironhide400]

DAMN THEM! I was looking forward to this releasing!

[MaximusR3]

unfortunate but at least the delays are breaking up what was going to be a really rough month in PS3 gaming due to several huge titles dropping at once

the 3 big ones were going to be COD:Black Ops, Little Big Planet 2, and Gran Turismo 5 so now we'll be more spaced out with one dropping each month

[wick3d_y4yo]

Damn them yet again for delaying the #1 game on my must have list this holiday gaming... so sad, Hopefully we will see this game SOMETIME this year... not sure I could deal with another March 1 release date. :x

I agree it does suck that it has been delayed again but, if it is to make the game even better then so be it. The suspense is killing me though.
