GT HD Premium = GT5 Prologue | GT HD Classic = GT:HD at E3

Someone suggested that the mountains were 2D ... well, after looking at it again and again, I'm now certain that's not true! They're fully 3D ... (well, no doubt they do have *some* textures. ;) )

And it's quite interesting what he says in this interview, about how the version will evolve dynamically based on what users want and what they can code in, like they already have opening doors and being able to turn the lights on, but if this is something the audience wants, then they might add adjustable rear-view mirrors (this was a hypothetical example, btw ;) ).

Also, the models in GT:HD Classic have several thousands polies, but the models in GT:HD Premium have tens of thousands. It will be interesting to see what this will result in in terms of the number of cars in a race vs online mode in Classic.

The screenshots posted on the official website do look a bit rough, though (i.e. no AA).

@one, yeah I couldn't verify that either. The only thing I saw confirmed was 770 cars and 51 tracks.
 
OT: Gametrailers.com gives you three filetype options (mov/wmv/mp4), are all three of same resolution?

If they're 3D, they could be truly awesome, but that depends on how they're shaded. If they're photo-textured, they'll only look good in that light. Add some alternative weather of time of day (something GT4 hasn't had) and they'll look whack. But if they're fully 3D, with a rock+snow texture and lighting creating all the depth and shadows, that'd be fantastic. My guess is the former, and they're geometry with photos slapped on them that capture the lighting. I'd love to be proven wrong though!

I believe mov and wmv are, and mp4 are smaller intended for vPods. But I've never downloaded one.
 
Apparently GT HD is not an empty game going by this

Well I had hope about the above until I saw this

Oddly enough thats not the same as what this says :

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/734/734935p1.html

GT HD will include two main modes of play, Sony revealed earlier this week. Classic mode is basically Gran Turismo 4 running in 1080p along with a few other visual enhancements. The focus of this mode is on online play. Players race one-another online and purchase cars and tracks for a few dollars each. This mode won't include any courses and tracks from the start.

GameSpot editor Brian Ekberg confirms that GT: HD classic will come with all the cars and tracks from GT4, apparently you are going to be able to purchase *EXTRA* cars and tracks sometime early 07. PD has already begun work on these packs.

Great read!:)
I really hope it's true, with all cars and tracks included from the start.
Nice to hear they are making AI updates aswell!!

Yamauchi also said that regular AI updates will be supported along the way. Two artificial updates are already in the works for 2007 after the game is released.

This will interesting how it'll turn out. Who to believe?

:LOL: good question. wanna flip a coin over it?

certain thing is that since these rumors spread, there must be a reason behind this happening.

I guess if sony and pd have even a drop of reasoning in their heads, they'll just rollback their super great ideas for GT,
and maybe find a less flashy way to commence microtransacting fest.
this plan is too much of an overkill to pass unnoticed
 
Another new report at IGN!
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/734/734935p1.html

Japan's Impress Watch games site reports that, in comments made to the Japanese press, series producer Kazunori Yamauchi revealed that Sony plans to make GT HD available for the cost of the game disk and instruction manual. This suggests a retail price point of just a few dollars for the first PS3 Gran Turismo game.
. . . Wow! If true:)

This mode won't include any courses and tracks from the start.
Hmmmmm, really, what to believe?
 
O.k. if in doubt always trust the native speakers. I've just read the GameWatch article and indeed, GT Classic comes completely without content, i.e. barenaked. Everything needs to be bought online. New playmodes will enable via update. There'll be a gamer lobby. It's possible for user to create "regulations" and to hold race events. The downloadable content includes everything from GT3 and GT4.

GT Premium comes with 30 cars and 2 new courses. Additional cars (50-100 Yen) and courses (200-500) need to be downloaded. Maximum 30 cars and 2 courses will be additionally available when the game goes on sale.

I'll trust the producer over your native speaker, and he's said that pricing is not yet known.
 
Famitsu as well reports that Classic comes without contents and everything has to be downloaded. The price and the form hasn't not been finalized, according to them.

You bolded the wrong part - I was stressing the part where the price and form hasn't been finalized, except that Kaz indicated that the price of the game would be little more than the price of the disk and booklet (I think - I'm starting to doubt everything at this point, including my memory ;) ). Although I'm apparently not the only one who saw the comment where GT:HD Classic would include all GT4 assets by default, I already retracted that comment earlier in this thread after seeing more interviews.

That comment was about the physical copy of the game and has no relevance so ever about the cost of the contents which has been confirmed to be removed from GT:HD Classic by GameWatch, Famitsu and photographical evidence.
You will have to pay for the online contents. Polyphony even showed a prototype of their web-shop (see below 2nd picture). The only thing that remains to be fixed according to Famitsu is the price or the form - the comment below the first picture: "Will you have to pay per car / for each car?" -, while Gamewatch reports the already mentioned price ranges.
