meh. Still no release date.

Translation Fail.

I don't think we'll get this game until 2011. This game has been in production for so long that I'm honestly losing hype for the game.

Yep its lookinggood, enough to hold me off until a release date announcement. Plus you all have to remember that this was a press day at Gamescom, it doesnt open to the public until tomorrow. In that case we may get videos and some hans-on input as there is evidence of a GT5 demo there.

Sounds good. A release date would be nice, though.

It's weird - the first thing I thought of after reading the bullet lists is "I hope I can repaint my car." It was a ridiculous omission in GT4 and unforgivable in GT5P. There's no reason I should have to sell my car and buy a new one just to get it in a different colour, especially if they've got the time to throw in car washes and oil changes.

Holy ****!

So that means if I turn my head right, it will look right. If I turn my head back, it will look back. But then if my head is turned all the way to the right, how can look at what's going on the screen?

This sucks, multiple reports are saying GT Portable will be free for those who buy a PSP Go, but it's Europe only! SCEA says the US won't have that deal. Another reason why SCEA sucks! These guys rather put Ten Pin Alley than Einhander on PSN! ASK_Story

Here is a quote from SolidSnake, since he was too much of a jerk to post it here:

DAMAGE!

Finally after 12 years of wait, I can die a happy man.

To be honest, it doesn't look as good as Burnout or even Motorstorm, but the bumpers, the hood, doors etc. are all individually modelled so that's nice to see.

Moar.

GT PSP will have a cockpit view!

Gran Turismo PSP Cockpit View: Gameplay Footage

Looking really good.

In cockpit view is a must. I wonder how they're going to implement the PSEye tracking? As it's been pointed out, if you turn your head to the right, you're not actually looking at your screen anymore.

Here is a much higher quality video of the GamesCom demo for GT5.

I just wanted to say if this is how Sony's revealing its biggest IP then they haven't learned anything from their failures this gen. Gamescom has been a great conference from them so far, but GT5 deserves an actual unveiling. It deserves a decent press release which showcases at least the features of the game. Because right now, it's a mess. The game is supposedly coming out in a month yet we haven't even heard Kaz really talk about the game. Whoever is responsible for the PR at Sony deserves to be lined up and shot in the face.

Twice.

lol. I totally forgot about your GT thread.

How come you didnt post these awesome gifs? What do your thoughts on damage? Are you as livid as gaf is? :P

Watch em here.

I didn't post the GIFs because GIFs cripple my computer.:P It has gotten even worse in Safari 4.0. They load eventually, but my browser freezes up for a good 30 seconds whenever there is a GIF on a page.

edit: ...I'm super excited for damage. What they've shown looks great.

Oops. Edited my post. Hopefully we'll see an official press release before Gamescom ends this weekend.

According to this article that not all cars will have damage or damage will be limited. It's a step foward for the series at least. I do find it weird that not all cars will be created equal in the sense of damage and detail.

Crash footage starts at 4:20. I saw sparks, debris, doors flying everywhere and the rally car climbing over another car. :D

This should be awesome. I'll finally have a use for my Playstation Eye!

Polyphony confirms GT5 head-tracking

Polyphony Digital mastermind Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed that the forthcoming Gran Turismo 5 features support for head-tracking via the PlayStation Eye camera accessory.

According to Gran Turismo resourceGT Planet, the feature was first mooted on Polyphony's website during gamescom and was recently confirmed by Yamauchi during an interview with Italian gaming site MultiPlayer.it.

The head-tracking feature is restricted to the in-cockpit view within GT5. Employing facial recognition, the PlayStation Eye scans the position of your head and adjusts the viewpoint in the cockpit accordingly, effectively replacing the use of the right analogue stick on the DualShock 3. Your display stops being a flat 2D representation of a 3D world and effectively becomes an interactive window into the game experience.

Want to see how close your opponents are to catching up? Turn your head and look at the wing mirror. Want to see which gear you're using? Look down at the transmission and see for yourself as you would in a real car. Want to check out the racing line beyond the next corner? Look beyond the turn just like real drivers do.

To get some idea of how the display's perspective adjusts when head-tracking is in play, there's no better example than Johnny Lee's original YouTubevideobased on reverse use of the Wii remote's infra-red sensor. Sony's technology - assuming it works well, of course - goes far beyond this in taking infra-red out of the equation completely. Head-tracking looks set to be integral component of Project Natal to the point where the self-same Johnny Lee is now working under NDA with Microsoft, but the inclusion of the feature in Gran Turismo 5 will be the first time we've seen it deployed properly in a current-generation console game.

Going forward, it also has big implications for the forthcoming PS3 motion controller, which also works in conjunction with the existing PlayStation Eye accessory, suggesting that Sony's plans in this area go beyond using feedback from the "wand" alone...

Thanks for the link rag. Sounds cool.

on a related note, one of the tech vids released recently for Sony's new motion controller suggests that the Wand might not have an analog stick. Bummer!

rragnaar

But how would you move forward/left&right? I understand they could still use the Wand to point the crosshair at the screen, and "look" around using the head tracking technology, but how would you move your character forward? I always figured an analog stick on the Wand would function as the left analog stick on the DS3.

Anyway, according to Eurogamer's source GT5 is now officially coming out Q4 2009. No more confusion over whether it was Sony's fiscal Q4 or Q4 2009, it seems GT5 is hitting this year after all. w00t! Now damage on ALL cars, do it Kaz.... DO IT!

The source also talks about a 250GB Slim.... WTF! i thought we were done with multiple SKUs! Apparently they are bundling Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed 2 or GT5 with the 250GB. Great! I had doubts over Uncharted 2 hitting the million mark in NA, now it's not gonna happen for sure. (Why would anyone buy a U2 bundle anyway? If they dont own a PS3 then they probably have never played the first Uncharted and if they havent played it then they are most likely not fans of the game. i mean wtf?

not sure if there are dual 360/ps3 owners in this thread, but if so i have to ask - since it seems like GT5 is hitting this year, are you getting this over forza 3, or are you getting both (and playing both) at the same time? or would you actually get forza 3 first?

i was actually counting on another GT5 delay so i had my money set aside for forza III already, but GT is just looking stunning right now so i think i'm leaning towards getting that first and forza down the line...playing both at once just doesn't seem to make much sense to me but i definitely want to play both titles...

IGN UK has reviewed GT PSP and given it a 6.8.

Being that I'm such a massive fan of the Gran Turismo franchise, I'm having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that this isn't a great (or even just good) game. It pains me to say so, but it's the truth. While the driving mechanics are great, if somewhat dated, the numerous presentation issues (like the complete lack of a career mode) really keep this from being what it could, and should, have been.

IGN UK

This is a massive bummer. I'll keep hope alive for a while while I wait for other reviews, but this isn't looking so hot. Then again, I'm interested in the game solely to race while I watch TV, so I'll only be halfway paying attention to it anyway. I might still enjoy it.

GT5 for sure. I loved the original Forza back in the original XBOX days but GT just has so much prestige and nostalgia for me that I won't be able to pass it up. I personally won't have time for 2 sim racers this season so I have to whittle it down to just 1 and GT5 won my vote.
