I think you might be underestimating what a horizontal force equivalent of a G or 2G from some UCM actually feels like and what it does to the bodies senses. It's not a light push at all.

Hm... G-Forces in a car (non-supercar) usually never exceed 1G (except ... well in a crash^^). Nearly every rollercoaster ever built (except those well before our time) puts you through higher forces (but you are strapped into a seat).

Driving a car fast is about much more than keeping it on a track, that is true. But coping with the forces is one of the lesser evils (in normal car racing^^). Our cars simply don't have good enough chassis', tyres and suspensions to feedback those forces to us. I've once driven a 959 and a Tech-Art Widebody... Those cars are MONSTERS. Putting your foot just slightly on the pedal feels like getting constantly kicked in the back (I sadly was not allowed to race those cars on a track^^, I mean, who could blame them, the cars a worth more than my all the stuff that is in my house^^).

I will take, (and there's no ifs and buts, just the monetairy factor) next year or 2009, the National-A licence test (costs ~1000€) at the Hockenheimring. Then I am finally legally allowed to race in higher leagues! (and hopefully get one of my dreamjobs, test engineer for cars^^).

Geez, those 959's were insane... And yeh, theres things that videogames have no chance of emulating. Even little things - weight of the steering, how it changes through a corner, every car's accelerator brake and clutch pedals are different, bite at different positions, take up at different times...that can never get emulated. my shitbox polo i drive has about 20% dead zone at the beginning of the brake pedal, before it suddenly bites.... makes it a bitch tryng to drive anything else ;)

Since ive gone off topic, and nothing else is going on in GT land atm, ill go a bit further... I've just started learning manual! my parents finally decided to get a manual car - a little 98 citroen berlingo 1.4L. Nothing special, but its enough for me to get the hang of the finer things - like clutch take up, double declutching, hill starts, and just general smoothness. Thats something no amount of GT can teach you :) i mean sure, i know in theory what to do, but until you're sitting there with the pedals under your feet, you don't really know how to do it.

Now i can finally do my v8 supercar experience at the end of the year :)

Segitz, you're lucky germanyhas suh a massive interest in motorsports..... i'd do anything to get over there and fang around some of those tracks...even in a berlingo ;)

Segitz

11-08-2007, 01:18 PM

Hehe... watch the very first episode of the new Top Gear format... they are testing the Berlingo there (iirc)^^

Well, it is all well and true, but driving a car in Germany is... VERY VERY expensive (hence I don't have one anymore since my crash... Don't need one "really"). 1.4€ per liter gas and such.

But the Autobahn rocks!

Well... yes and no... the Autobahns around my region are mostly clogged up, because all of them get widened to 3 or more lanes (oohh yeah^^ Stuttgart and Leonberg region are sort of a central point where all of Europes traffics meets, A8 and A6 are here). But, the Autobahn from here to Ulm/Augsburg is mostly open (it is an electronically controlled street, if the track is open, there's no speedlimit). The track to Karlsruhe isn't that nice, but the other way to the Lake of Constance (Bodensee) it is mostly open too^^ great for short trips to go sailing or to go to Switzerland.

The Veyron was featured 3 times at Top Gear. The one you mention is the most impressive one (i.e. fastest production car in the world tested). But VW didn't yet allow them to test the Veyron at their track... So no Top Gear top time yet.

The last Top Gear episode was great... They had the challenge to buy a 1500 pound car in Africa and drive through Botswana... Very impressive (nearly as impressive as the 1080P Polar Challenge).

Ahh the Veyron... sucks, you cant use the power and especially not on the Nordschleife and it looks to much VW (above all, the headlights).

Cant wait to race with CARS on the Ring in GT5.
That Corvette looks like it needs a special treatment hehehe.

The ring is such a hellish track^^ I never got used to it in GT4 (always preferred Sarthe), as it has too many corners that look the same^^

But, I like it in B-Spec mode somehow, as it looks great^^

Gran Turismo Prologue New Cars and Tracks Revealed

November 14th, 2007

Gran Turismo is quickly becoming the racing game to watch for 2007 and 2008. With a target number of 900 cars, Yamauchi and company are taking the kitchen sink approach of throwing everything in possible. Honestly, we're not huge fans of this method and prefer the best of the best in our racing games. Then again, with over 900 cars chances are we'll see pretty much every car we want in the game--and some we don't.

The latest news we've scooped out of Japan involves anearly complete list of vehicles form the upcoming Gran Turismo Prologue Demo as well as a very special car that will be in the complete game.

Our sources on the other side of the Pacific are very reliable and that's why we're pleased to know that Gran Turismo 5 and Prologue will feature, as a playable vehicle, the Ford GT LM Edition. Shown in diecast toy format, we'll be more than happy to take this Ford on the track. Kazunori is a known fan of the Ford GT (he owns two) so this is a very logical car to be included in the latest Gran Turismo.

And the last two tracks in Prologue. After our conversation, we have good reason to believe that the two remaining tracks in Prologue may be Laguna Seca, Infineon or Nordschliefe. We didn't get a solid answer, but any of those tracks are solid.

Gran Turismo Prologue Current Car List:

Acura NSX
Alfa Romeo 147 Twin Spark
Audi R8
Audi TT Coupe
BMW Z4
BMW 135i Coupe
Daihatsu Copen Active Top
Daihatsu OFC-1
Dodge Viper GTS
Ferrari F430
Ford GT LM Edition
Ford Mustang V8 GT Coupe
Delta HF Integrale
Lexus IS-F
Lotus Elise
Mazda ATENZA Sport
Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
Nissan GT-R Proto
Nissan GT-R
Nissan Skyline 350GT

After playing the demo, I am almost certain that I will not buy GT5P (I was not planning to begin with). Too little changes for my taste. Everything feels the same. The AI does not seemed to not improve, and in almost every starting of the race every car will almost arrive the same spot at the same time at the same speed. However, my enjoyment is also same, meaning I still love it as much as my first GT which is GT3. For me, a racing sim is all about racing against my myself, so I don't care too much about the AI and the bumper cars (those are secondary to my enjoyment). All I enjoy is to figure out how to cut down the few milliseconds at each corner with difference cars and their different configurations. What I always like about GT is how the car handle and how you every input you make will have a influence on the car behaviour. And I think the new professional mode does make the gameplay a little bit more interesting and challenging.

But for now, I will just wait for the real GT5.

Bluray version will have car damage but the downloadable version will not, according to Edge Magazine:

http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7812&Itemid=51

The most surprising aspect of the release, however, is that there will be two different versions of the game: a downloadable version will be slightly cheaper, but it will be delivered without certain important features (such as, for the first time in Gran Turismo, damage on the vehicles, plus a weather system) that will be found on the Blu-ray disc.

Some sources say yes, but they don't seem like they've got any quotes from Polyphony, let alone proof at all that it will.

We just had a chance to sit down with Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi to not only watch the Polyphony Digital president play some expert-level Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, but catch up on how the teaser version of Gran Turismo 5 will play. The early taste of the first proper PLAYSTATION 3 release will feature a number of firsts, including online play, damage effects for cars, and fully modeled interiors.

We spent a good portion of our session going through Prologue's "My Page" features. Most of it is rather self explanatory—Options, Home integration, Garage—but Polyphony touched briefly on the TV functions. The developers plans to show videos of non-game content, including (potentially) real life races, television shows, and "how to" clips created by Polyphony themselves. The My Page Profile aspect was pitched as very straightforward, containing information about the user's personality, but we weren't shown what it actually looks like.

Kaz seemed pretty proud of his latest car museum disguised as a PlayStation game, giving us ample eyeball time with the lovingly crafted car models. He showed us details on a 2006 Ferrari F430, making sure we didn't miss the stitched leather details to our left. Yes, Kaz, very pretty. Players will be able to inspect Polyphony's hard work even during races, as the GT driving wheel will let drivers pan left and right, an option supposedly not available with the SIXAXIS controller.

We also got a bird's eye view of the Lotus Elise convertible from the same model year which he took out for a spin on the familiar Suzuka Circuit. This probably won't come as a surprise, but Kaz was pretty good at playing Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. The one curiosity I noticed was that he steered with the D-pad, not the analog stick. He told me to chalk it up to habit, having learned how to play his own game on the original PlayStation, before the controller became the analog stick-equipped DualShock.

Hardcore racer will be pleased to learn that GT5 Prologue will also add a new level of mastery for expert drivers, with a Professional driving physics option. Apparently, fan requests for a more intense driving experience led to the change.

Also at the behest of fans is a working damage model, one of unspecified depth. We didn't see Kaz run into anything during our session, so it was hard to tell if the game features the system in place yet. When asked about the new built-from-the-ground-up AI code and the option for car damage, Yamauchi indicated that CPU controlled drivers are aware of the new penalties for playing "bumper cars." With up to sixteen cars on the track, they need to be aware of each and the danger of spinning out when one comes in contact with another.

Yamauchi says these changes will lead to fewer cars lining up as they had in previous Gran Turismo games.

Apparently, with GT5 Prologue being built on a car and component basis, virtual racers will be given a better perspective on how their changes in hardware will affect cars from a performance basis and how they'll look when decked out. After learning this, I asked Yamauchi if the new guys at PD are stuck building just components, like aftermarket wheels and bonnets. No, he said, but that is one of the tests when someone comes on at the developer. Get your tire models right, then you can move on to cars.

Yamauchi also confirmed, via his translator Tsubasa Inaba, that a new force feedback wheel is being developed specifically for the release of the game. The Polyphony Digital staff declined to give us additional details on what changes we could expect, but I think we can safely assume that they're not adding motion control.

The bad news? A North American release has not yet been confirmed. The Europeans and Japanese will get their driving gloves on the game this year, but Yamauchi asked us to solicit fan feedback. They said they'll be evaluating fan interest to see if a US and Canada version makes sense.

You know what to do. If you want it, say so.

Wow, if this is true, it's by far one of the worst things the demo has going for it. Provided that competent damage modeling will be implemented in the actual game, that is. how is it the worst? its the one thing you have been harping on that GT needs damage! now that its getting it your claiming its the worst?!?

Learn to read, genius.

The problem with the announcement, if you can even call it that, is that they’re separating crucial components unnecessarily which will confuse customers. It’s not about them having or not having damage modeling (however good it may be still remains to be seen), but the idea of Polyphony including it ONLY in the disc version and not in the downloadable version.

Um…maybe it’s just ME, but something as important as this simple feature should be in BOTH versions, not in two demos containing the same content.

That’s the problem, genius.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/gc07/gran-turismo-5-prologue-to-feature-car-damage-improved-ai-better-physics-293208.phpEarlier this year, Yamauchi said that they were working on damage and whatnot and later said that we wouldn't see it for the time being, that they might implement it in the future but it was too early to tell. Considering how there's absolutely no media on car damage so close to the release of GT5P, I'm not expecting this feature anytime soon.

That’s the problem, genius. or it could be a file size isure ever think of that?

dynamic weather and damage might mean lots of slightly differant models and textures. PD did say "if we are going to do damage its going to be done right or we are not going to do it at all." so god (and PD) only know just how huge it all is.

It might be that the down loadable GT5p is only 6.2gig
while the BD version with multable texture sets and physics data for every possible mechanical failure and multable car models for varying degrees of smashed and related special effects could be well over 30gig making DL kindof out of the question.

i do see what your saying though.

dude A: "i downloaded GT5p and there was no damage or weather infact its just a real good looking version of the old GT"
dude B: "what are you talking about i picked it up yesterday and the damage was awsome!"

Gran Turismo 5: Prologue preview
Posted on December 10th, 2007 at 12:03 EDT

Gran Turismo. These two words are enough to light the gaming community on fire. The popular racing series has been a staple for both hardcore and casual racing fans alike for over ten years. While the series has always managed to impress gamers in all areas such as graphics, realism, and computer AI, the series has been long overdue for a next generation sequel to match the pace of modern racing titles. Thankfully, we won’t have to wait for much longer.

Most appropriately titled Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, Polyphony's latest game may appear at first to have a deceiving title. However, further playtime quickly proved to solidify the game's release as more than a trivial tech demonstration.

The game is a mix of next generation and time-tested features that have made the series so popular. Some of the newer changes include the title screen. Gone are the days where you were given the option of arcade and simulation mode of previous titles, or even the newer single-player, multi-player and option dialogues to grace modern racers.

http://ps3.psu.com/media/gran-turismo-5/site_gran-turismo-5-ss-166.jpg

Instead, gamers will find themselves graced with a 3D representation of their car in front of a vividly animated backdrop of a city of their choice from a list of locations. A clock and temperature read-out shows the current time and temperature reading of the location you set. A calendar also displays upcoming racing events.

Below all of these visuals are seven distinct icons, including icons titled drive, garage, TV, photo, and profile. While many of these are self explanatory, some require a small explanation. TV will offer various video clips that may include tips for improving times and personally submitted videos. Photo will function in the same way, except in picture format of course. Finally, the profile icon will offer a social networking-esque interface that will allow racers to share information with one another.

By now you must be wondering about the actual game-play rather than all of these nice extras. The great news is that the game-play has evolved as much if not even more than that of the extras Polyphony has added to GT5 Prologue. Driving in the game feels natural and maintains the series philosophy on realism, so don't expect your car to make a tight u-turn at 80 mph. Likewise, if you drive on the grass, expect a huge delay getting back onto the track. Just like its predecessors and in reality, your tires are going to lose a lot of traction while in that sand pit.

http://ps3.psu.com/media/gran-turismo-5/site_gran-turismo-5-ss-192.jpg

You'll also be able to tell if you have any mods installed in your car by simply listening. That super charger you just installed sounds just like its real life counterpart. Many fans of the series may also be pleased to learn that damage modelling has finally been implemented with Prologue. On the whole, the damage effects are quite realistic and we can safely say that the days of the Gran Turismo series being called a 'bumper car simulator' are over.

The control scheme is just the same as ever for any Gran Turismo title. Triangle will reverse your car out of a wall. Square and circle are your emergency and normal brakes, and finally, X is used to accelerate. Master the last three, and it is easy to leave the computer-controlled cars eating your dust.

The game will run in full 1080p at 60 fps, an impressive feat considering how few titles can make this claim. The amount of cars to race has also ...

...race has also been increased to an impressive 16, including the human player of course. In addition to the standard camera modes, a first-person view has been included. The amount of details inside the each car was deeply emphasized in this mode. The time spent recreating each nuance of every car is both appreciated and a welcome addition.

http://ps3.psu.com/media/gran-turismo-5/site_gran-turismo-5-ss-191.jpg

The old physics based system that served the previous four games well has been removed and replaced with a much more detailed and accurate system. The entire graphics system has also received a much-needed overhaul. Yamauchi, one of the creators of the series, has claimed that the new engine is so powerful, a professional drifter was able to perform manoeuvres inside the game similar to the one's he performed during races.

Besides the updates in the physics department of the game, the graphics portion has also received an equally impressive upgrade. Cars in Gran Turismo 4 were composed of an average of 4000 pixels. In GT5: Prologue, cars will be composed of an average of 200,000 pixels. The 50-fold increase in resolution shows, as cars in GT5: Prologue appear to have the best models of a car game to date. Polyphony also spent a considerable amount of time ensuring each car was exactly as the manufacture wanted them to be recreated, right down the to pit crew's uniforms. This may seem a petty detail, but it helps serve to even further immense gamers into the races.

The game's AI has also received significant improvements in order to keep racers on their toes. However, as the series has had a reputation of being difficult, the game will include two difficulties, standard and professional. Both are designed to make the game challenging, but standard should allow beginners to the series some breathing space.

http://ps3.psu.com/media/gran-turismo-5/site_gran-turismo-5-ss-206.jpg

Albeit not the final incarnation of Gran Turismo 5, Prologue should serve as a welcome and fine addition to the Gran Turismo line of games. On the heels of the announcement of the Dual Shock 3 controller, the racer will also support full rumble to help feel gamers like they are in the cockpit themselves. The game is currently set to release on December 13 in Japan, with no definite US or EU release. However, the popularity of the series should hopefully help carry the game from Japanese shores.

I have to agree, this is a bullshit preview. It just sounds like it's playing fan service for the sake of it, without going into any detail about the components of the game.
And reiterating old shit like not being able to make a U-turn at 80mph is f'ing irrelevant since you couldn't do that since the first GT.

Ah well, pretty pictures abound.

‘err, I’ve been saying that for AWHILE now [but keep getting flamed for it].

Polyphony ONLY simulates the more popular or poster-boy cars within each game as accurately as they can. It’s both a mix of them not always having the proper data for EVERY car (I mean, it’s f’ing 700 cars for God’s sake, that’s unrealistic to expect 100% perfection there) and KY’s personal biases toward certain models.

However, the statement of how realistic the game is are a bit tired since we already KNOW that the game is aiming for realism. Kind of dumb at this point to keep reiterating the fucking obvious.

I'd be willing topay a few hundred bucks for a wheel if it was built properly. Logitech wheels have been nice, but I want the best wheel technology available. All metal components, with 2nd to none realisitc feedback and control.

IMHO Gran Turismo is not worth playing without a wheel

I guess they have a decent wheel made already anybody have opinuions about this one.

Sony will also start off a text news service, featuring updates from car dealers. You'll also be able to access motor sports related news, maps and weather information for major world raceways, and a calendar.

Actual online play modes will be available just in time for Christmas. Log on to GT5 Prologue in the afternoon on 12/25, and you'll be able to download network battle updates for the game's arcade and time attack modes. Also available on this day will be a Museum mode, featuring histories for car manufacturers.

Other free download content set for release before the end of the year includes two GTTV downloads: The GT-R Legend Inside Story II on 12/14, and The GT-R Legend Inside Story III later in the month. Paid video content for GTTV won't begin until the end of January.

Nice w/ the recent info, but nothing all that good so far.

I have to admit, with all these cars and courses, this alone would be a full game unto itself (still no Supra love). It’s just that the gameplay is so damn sparse and basic, if it weren’t for the online play to keep busy, this would get old REAL fast.

Looks nice though (as expected), but still vanilla for the time being.

I will have more than 100 hrs fun with the game just alone because of the freakin photomode especially with graphics like this!

EDIT: After a bit more thinking about it... 100 is actually a to small number. :laugh:

Well whaddaya want me to say, dude?
I mean really, unless you’re simply a rabid fanboy of some sort, this game really isn’t doing anything too spectacular OTHER than looking nice [in stills]. It’d be different if it boasted a host of great new gameplay features and improvements, but we can clearly see that it’s not. I’m just stating what I see and what I’ve played thus far, nothing more.

I mean, I’m not intentionally TRYING to rain on the parade, but every time I see a new update of information on GT5 and instead of being met with something new and improving, it ends up being nothing more than good looking pics, it’s extremely disheartening.

I want to believe, I really do. But I’m getting worn out from getting excited only to taste plain vanilla ice cream every time, my dude.

So for now, again I say, this LOOKS nice, but still seems like the same bland gameplay that I’m all too used to after 10yrs.

They are touched up, the same way the photomode was in GT4. Antialiasing is added onto the images to smooth them out, but going off of the results shown in the Prologue demo, the game is rife with jaggies.

The city environments looks awesome though.

Having seen the replays on my HDTV, I'm more than impressed and sure enough to say those screenshots are not that far from the real thing. But hey, you're not exactly someone not nitpicky at all :ohno:

Segitz

12-11-2007, 06:13 PM

Well yeah, this is what the in-game assets look like, but it’s the heavy post processed antialiasing that creates the hugest difference in end result for these shots. Unfortunately, sad to say, the gameplay doesn’t look like that at all, even in the replays.

The jaggies completely throw it off.

Well yes, these pics are touched up (but imho only AA, I find this game to really look like this).

And, the game DOES look like this, beside aformentioned lower AA. I mean, of course the camera does not show the front of your car when driving, but the replays do (so not exactly "plays like this", but looks like this in real time)

I find jaggies as annoying as the next guy, but sheesh, one can really nitpick.

But then again, I am REALLY content with it, I even still love the graphics of freaking GT4 (and the "simulated" controls are ok and fun, but not "ultra real" as in nearly no game at all, but less for the sake of fun!)

Man, why does Sony delay this game until february for us? This sucks donkey balls! I hope they do this because of another reason than waiting for bigger sales! (liked added cars or a new track et al). I doubt it, but who knows.

And, I like it^^ It just helps overtaking the opponents :D

But, not usual racing league allows nos... so they should restrict it to certain open races and free riding. Maybe for drag racing

I hope, they add more restricted races though... In GT4, there's more often then not only one limitation per race (be it a certain car/car class or a year and whatnot). They should really widen the "manufacturers" races... Only 2 or 3 races per class is simply not enough! (I am now at about 50% again in GT4^^)

I dunno...

There's a racing game for every gamer out there, so to speak. The real hardcore sim is a bit underrepresented (the demographic is just smaller), but there are some.

What I find great about GT is the whole package... A crapload of different tracks and cars and it is not just about speed (I loved driving my B Corsa in GT2^^). You can also get on with the game if not don't win every race (which I hate in many many racing games. Especially some sims. I mean, not even a "king" like MSC can win every race in a season).

GT did several things right from the start. The visuals are top notch, which is what brings in most of the gamers. Then there's the tuning options, which was one of the first games to do so in such a "complete" manner (I'd still want it to be changed, to a certain degree) and so on...

Of course, GT has also its fair share of blunders, like dumb as bread AI, only 5 opponents (YES, they upped it^^), a too japan centric car selection (will prevail, sadly, although I am a jap car lover!) as well as no custom racing modes and leagues (an online league in 5 would be great)

There just is not perfect game... For every thing they make right, there's stuff they do majorly wrong... GT for me hits the middle spot in being MY AAA game (I think I played more GT1-4 than WoW!)

Holy ***king jeebss.....

It's just ***king wrong how good this game looks. ***king wrong...

They are definitely touched up with a lot of AA, the gameplay I doubt will be that sharp, but it will still be hella sharp. The replays are more or less the same, much less difference, but likely a difference nonetheless.

What I really want to know is how sharp the shadows are all around. That is something I am very interested in to see.

Seriously though, that red corvette and red Ferrari look ***king so close to real! You have to look so closely at the car to find almost unnoticeable 'gameness' to it.....

awesomeimagethathasbeenpostedenoughalready.jpg

That is mother ***king balling....

Honestly, you'd think this doesn't even belong in this generation of games.... Polyphony.... ***king jeebs.... I mean ***KING JEEBS! Wow.....

<3 PS3. <3 Polyphony :):):):):)

The demo did have some jaggies but according to someone at Beyond3D it was a conflict between the HDR and AA that caused the jaggies, so maybe Prologue will have fixed that and it will look much sharper than the demo. Other than that the screens are a good representation of the in-game engine.

The only differences between replays and in-game is the replays add depth of field and similar effects, but the framerate is lowered to 30fps (compared to 60fps in-game). I was also quite impressed with the shadows in the Demo. There was the occasional glitch with them, but on the whole they looked good especially when using the in-car camera.

If you understand the concept that its a sim thats all about the actual simulation of what makes each car unique, with all the myriad of tuning options, so to some it may seem boring but to most it gives pure pleasure.

I was bemoaning the fact that it was missing damage but having seen the so called realistic damage in other games i think it may be wise to leave it out till the modeling matches the superior modeling for the rest of the game. After all the damage used in this games obvious rival is not that good. (sure i will be shot for that one).

I already went that route, my friend.

Much like the series' final impressions, the fans here don't want things to change or improve, only to look prettier. I've given comprehensive lists on what needs to improve, what changes to be made, the whole nine yards. I even used references from old Gran Turismo's as well.

1- this is NOT supposed to be a serious racing game
2- the genre title is a disclaimer which therefore makes up for the dramatic shortcomings that the series refuses to improve upon
3- japanese developers should spend more time on improving gameplay mechanics for established IPs instead of making weirdly named genres. LOL jk'ing

We also have to remember that we have very little idea of what will actually be in GT5. Damage and Weather seem quite likely now, but I'm sure there are lots of surprises too and we haven't heard much about things like tuning which could get a huge upgrade for all we know.

Prologue is just a taster of the full game and that alone already has added stunning graphics, 16 cars at once, online racing, downloadable content, improved AI, Improved physics/handling, calendar/leaderboards/manufacturer's dealership thingy that updates and other online elements.

In all seriousness, had you really seen ALL the other options out there, I doubt that you'd be saying this.

Considering that I'm not JUST speaking for myself, but from a good host of other gamers heavily into racing titles from just about every developer that we can get our hands on, well known and mainstream alike, GT isn't regarded as being so high on the pedestal.

But maybe that's just from my experiences. Maybe I've played too many racing games. Who knows?

Did you guys notice Yamauchi confirming a spring 2008 release for EU/NA?
So finalized, is there or isn't there damage modeling within Prologue?

Not. Maybe in a patch, definately in GT5.

Hmmn, rather MAYBE in GT5 also. Nothing is definite with this series, as I’ve learned.

As definite as it can be, since all games have changing roadmaps.

I’m just working off of Polyphony’s track record, man. It’s about the “prove it, or lose it time”, as most of these features were promised in the last GT’s as well. So again, it’s a “maybe”, i.e. we’ll see.

For what its worth to you guys here is the first batch of review scores for GT Prologue from Famitsu via CVG.

39/40 (that's 10, 10, 9, 10, for those who can't add) was the score on the door - higher than any other racing game in the present generation of racers, with Forza 2 having got 36/40 and PGR 4 settling for 33/40.

CVG also has Sony's Release schedule for some games for early next year including GTP in the first quarter of next year so we should have it by January, Februaury or March at the latest for both PAL and NTSC territories other than Japan.http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=177423

Thats a google maps list of all known GT4 and GT5 tracks made by toler33 from www.gtrp.com .
Its interesting to see that they really copied original streets in some curciuts, i think the only one that doesnt exist in real life is the Eiger course, the trainstation and buildings are there though.
I would watch them in Google Earth, thats way smoother.^^

Internet tricked by fake GT5P score
Story By Mark Podd
Glowing Famitsu score proves to be false
Reports that Japanese games magazine Famitsu has given Gran Turismo 5: Prologue a near-perfect score have proven to be false.

News broke yesterday that Weekly Famitsu had given GT5: Prologue – which is due to be released in its native Japan tomorrow – a highly impressive score of 39/40.

However, it now seems these claims were actually a load of porky pies, with Famitsu itself having not reviewed the game at all.

The source of the score appears to be an individual who wished to fool users on the popular NeoGAF forums by making up a load of review scores and news and trying to claim that it was the contents of this week’s issue of Famitsu.

As is the way with such things, however, the rest of the internet got hold of the story and ran with it before checking whether it was accurate or not. And as it transpired, it wasn’t.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Polyphony’s racer isn’t going to be amazing – just that we’ll all have to wait a little longer to find out how good it really is.

In the meantime, one of NeoGAF's forum users has posted a separate thread with the actual contents of this week’s Famitsu, which you can check out here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=216089

Hope we can read a true 39!40 (or 40!40? :P) in a few days :P
1,8 DL and 5 Gb install? compressed to 30% size, interesting. I wonder how long installation will take.

Of course that score is fake. Because GT5P is going to get 41/40. A score never seen before.

es gibt 3 Klassen: C,B und A, wobei man bei C anfängt und bei erfoglreichen beenden aller Rennen die nächste Klasse freischaltet. Bei jedem Rennen gibts Knete die man sinnvoll sparen sollte um sich Autos kaufen zu können. Wsa wie immer auch mal langwierig sein kann, weil man zb den Audi R8 für kanpp 17.000.000 am Ende von Klasse B brauch.
In den Klassen C und B fährt man gegen 11 Gegner, ab Klasse A gibts dann 15 Aspiranten und mann bekommt für Wallriding, Abkürzen und hartes Auffahren auf den Gegner beim Bremsen eine Zeitstrafe. Dazu gibt es dann auch noch
Herstellerevents. Die Reifenwahl ist im EventModus vorgegeben im Arcademodus kann man frei wählen.

3 classes: C, B & A, you begin with C and when you completed all races you can drive in the next class.
You get money for every win but you should save it for new cars just like in the old GT titles.
In C and B you drive against 11 opponents in class are 15 and you become a time penalty for wallriding, shortcuts and crashes.
There are manufactor races.
You cant choose any tires like in the Arcade mode in the EventMode.

brauch mann nicht viel sagen, Superb, einziges Manko was ich hab ist teilweise ein derbes Ruckeln wenn man im Verkehr steckt, vor allem London ist teilweise unfahrbar, bei den anderen Strecken hab ich teilweise auch leichtes Ruckeln so
