Cmon fellas…GT5 Prologue update? Eh, eh? Custom soundtracks? Maybe trophies, a lobby system? Screenshot function? - FoomMan

Sorry FoomMan, we’re around the bend and down the straight: the team’s main focus at this point is making sure GT PSP (and GT5) are in your hands.

Heh, whatever it is, bring it on! They even have a city course through Bern (Switzerland)!

Excuse me?

 

[Phil]

In the trailer, the city Bern (in Switzerland) is in it. I doubt it's just modelled for the trailer... the shops, restaurants and buildings are very accurate.

Woah, forget about GT-PSP, the PSPgo is pure sex!

Amazon lists Gran Turismo 5 for December

[standing ovation]

No words. No music. Just reality. This is what the GT5 intro should look like: GT1 Live TV

 

[patsu]

Nice ! But I think a GT intro should also show the chasises. GT Prologue has exquisite chassis details, especially the headlights and wheels.

The interior view is interesting too, but shouldn't supercede the cars.

EDIT: I rewatched the fan video. I think he "gets" the other part of GT: the tradition/lifestyle of racing. Not bad ! ^_^

A few possible dates are being thrown around, but nothing official yet:

What we can say, however, is that a 2009 release is almost certain, and the much-publicized Amazon.com date of December 29, 2009 is incorrect.

As it stands at the moment, it is likely the official date will be announced at GamesCom Cologne during Sony’s August 18th press conference.

If Slim rumors are true and they are planning to release it with a price cut this year, they probably aim to release GT5 to accompany it

If thats true then Wooooo....A surprise buy ! lol

This will surely give Sony a nice boost worldwide.

 

[Silent_Buddha]

Being the cynic that I am.

Anyone want to fancy a guess that the Sony financial situation may have prompted them to put significant pressure on PD for the first time? In order to get them to release this holiday season? If so, this could make their season.

Although the cynic in me still thinks none of the console manufacturers are going to do fantastic this season.

[patsu]

It's smart to consolidate their strength to take advantage of holiday sales and new SKU launch -- as long as Yamauchi's statement "We can release it anytime" is true.

Personally, I'm skeptical it will be timed with the SKU release. Holiday may be.

 

[Acert93]

Have they released much gameplay as of late with all the new announced (or announced but never shown) features? GT5 has been very mysterious.

 

[patsu]

Nope. GT5 Prologue is the last we have seen of the game. Cars in GT PSP will be portable to GT5 and vice versa. That's it.

 

[Crossbar]

FYI: This may be a good time to pre-order your copy of GT5 from amazon.co.uk

currently £17.59!

I just did.

 

[Hector]

I managed to order it seconds before the price changed to 37.99 gbp Now let's hope they honor the price...
