The GT5 expectation thread (including preview titles)*

[patsu]

Where PS3 is concerned, I shall always remember 2 dates.

(1) APOCAPLYPS3 (Feb 29 2008)
The day when most of our PS3 and PS3 developers slumber.

(2) GT5 Release (Nov 24 2010)
The end of a prestige team's long march.

Yes, but typically the ads for black friday have been completed WELL in advance. I wonder if part of the delay was talking to stores to see about reprints or inserts which would bear some costs I'm sure. EDIT: One of the sites I browse for black friday ads: bfads.net looks like this is the week most of the ads have been scanned and posted (pre-C&D letters)

They may have to do more aggressive online marketing (No printing overhead).

They went with TV advertising:

Sony may finally be ready to re-start marketing efforts for GT5. As spotted by long-time GTPlanet user DaveTheStalker, Gran Turismo 5 will be sponsoring Speed TV’s prime-time lineup of shows next Thursday.

I may be the only one bothered by this but...

...can we please change the thread title to GT5, or at least start a new thread for GT5? I mean...GT HD is a long dead project from ages ago

 

[slapnutz]

According to this list:
http://jalopnik.com/5688416/

No Spa-Francorchamps in sight.
[size=-2]At first, I thought Spa-whatever was something good for my wife's skin.[/size]

What the fu....

Also no Ferrari F50 or Pagani Zonda F ( I mean I'm talking some true iconic cars here... not some 198x Merc blah or 199x Honda blah which some people cry over)

..also is it true.. no Porsches all together?

 

[Arwin]

Yep, just RUFs ... EA or something is still holding the licence, and I don't know whatever kind of deal they've struck with Turn 10, but they can't be in GT5 yet for some reason.

 

[patsu]

There is always the DLC route when the exclusive contracts run out. I don't think it's a huge concern as long as they get the racing platform right.

 

[Butta]

Never realized how much GT sells!! GT4 sold about 2.5 million in the first week and nearly 11 million worldwide overall. Any guesses on GT5?

I agree... it's time for a change, seeing as how the game is finally being released within weeks.

This thread has come this far, while selecting posts to spawn a new thread I felt the logical break is actually release, where we can have a GT5 impressions thread and zip this one up. I'll change the name for now.

Edit: This thread would have been four years old come December!

Thanks

And holy crap, 4 years! I remember that Christmas getting GT HD...what a good day that was

I'm waiting on my wheel stand pro to get here for my G25 It's not the same using a dinner tray, so flimsy!

A G27 (25s seem hard to come by) and a wheel stand pro were the very combo I've been debating getting. When it comes in, please share your impressions.

Yeah but PS3 thought it's Feb 29 2008 ! ^_^ Oh wait, Feb 29 2010 !

In comparison, the GT5 release date is like a test of faith. Sony regions disagreed with each other, and leaked info at the top level accidentally. No one got the date right until 2-3 weeks before launch ?

For now, GAF has some amazing Photomode screenshots:

Now if they are 1080p, I should be able to see the shader aliases right ?
Great pictures nonetheless !

Photomode should be supersampled or have other fancy effects, as there's no need for realtime motion. Can take a couple of seconds to render a screen and really go to town.

Dam those pictures look sexy.
Maybe time to finally give my ps 3 some love this year.

How many modes are there ? I heard Photo mode, and Travel mode ? What are the differences ?

The shader alias will be visible during replay (and also driving) right ?

 

[Arwin]

Photo mode is from replay, while photo travel is specific locations you park your car in for a photo shoot. These were both in GT4

 

[patsu]

I have never seen GT4 before. ^_^

Course Maker gameplay video:

Snow track:

... also gives a sense of load time ?

 

[tha_con]

Patsu - We really can't judge load times on vids because we have no idea if the 10GB install was done, or not.

One thing is for sure...snow races just don't look like they work well in any mode, almost zero visibility!

Edit: And a roll over!
