Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

We could release GT5 any time, says Yamauchi

Kazunori Yamauchi has told Eurogamer that GT5 is “at a point we can release it any time we want”.
“I want to release it as fast as I can,” the developer said, talking at E3 this week, “but GT5 for us, when you talk about its status, it’s at a point we can release it any time we want, but we can always keep working on it. It’s very important for us to make sure everything is done perfectly and everything is done in detail.”
First trailer here. The game was shown for the first time in Sony’s E3 conference this week.

It's good they're not trying to rush the game out and keep content almost complete back then charge us for it a week after release.

Interview: Kazunori Yamauchi

Better late than never? It was certainly true of Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec. But with Polyphony Digital split between development of Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo PSP, both of them overdue, will history be repeated? Shortly after endorsing the newly announced PSP Go, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi spoke to Tim Clark, editor of Official PlayStation Magazine UK.

The PSP version’s been a long time coming. What challenges has it posed?
There were a lot of obstacles: the small screen, the lesser CPU power, the lower graphics processing power, and the small amount of memory. We went through and checked out a lot of the other racing games on PSP, and there’s not a single one that lives up to the Gran Turismo quality. We had to work very hard to get it to that level.

So what makes a GT game on PSP?
All of it, really – there was an unbelievable amount of material that had to make it on to this machine.

As a percentage, how much of Polyphony is working on this version, as opposed to Gran Turismo 5?
The balance varies from day to day. A lot of companies, when they make a PSP version of a game, license the development out to another company. There were times when 100 per cent of our efforts were on the PSP.

Does GT have any competition on PSP?
Like I said, there isn’t a game on there that’s up to par with any sort of racing game. I don’t think there are any competitors.

What do you think of PSP Go?
I like that it’s become very small, and the contrast and colour of the screen has improved over PSP 3000. Just to add: the proper version of GT PSP will load a lot faster than the version we have here.

How big a download will GT PSP be?
Because PSP Go content is only available as a download, our job has been to make it as compact as possible. Right now our target is to get it within a gigabyte.

And DLC?
No.

How about GT5? Is development running smoothly?
It’s going well. We could put it out at any time, or we could carry on working on it. There’s always something to polish.

How will the WRC and NASCAR licences be incorporated?
GT’s always included all different types of race styles, so it’s just a natural progression from that.

Which new cars do you think will prove the most interesting?
We’re still working on it, obviously, but merely from the cars in the E3 demo version, we have the Spec V GTR and the Ferrari Enzo.

Will there be any crossplatform interface with GT PSP?
We’re actually thinking about making the PSP garage compatible with the PS3 garage.

How are you finding the Formula One season this year?
I’m enjoying it. I think Jensen Button’s going to win. Both Lewis and Jensen are great Gran Turismo fans.

Didn’t Polyphony have a hand in the software of the Nissan GTR itself?
The multifunction meter. It’s a monitor that shows the status of the car and driving conditions. Out of the all the monitors equipped in cars these days, I think it’s one of the best.

There was also talk of Gundam having an influence…
It’s not just Nissan. I think all the cars in the world are affected by that Gundam kind of design.

Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

e3 demo version? he is talking about the psp version there, right?
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

Makes sense, early next year is packed with MAG, Heavy Rain and God of War.

Should set them up for a nice Xmas with the Slim.
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

i still doubt it will come out this year. Otherwise we would have been bombared with some "official" info of this game as well as some screen shots etc. Either PD are down right arrogant and cocky for the fact that they feel they dont need to market the game or it aint coming out this year.
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

Gamescon is just around the corner, Europe is the biggest market for the game...

It works for GTA
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

True rad. their was next to no info about gta4 until a month or two.

PD could probably release this game tomorrow and just about anyone with even the slight interest in racing games would get this game in an instance
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

I doubt they will stick to that price same price as Prologue that and this is for full game a big mistake there.

Be interesting if they still honour it though :))
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

Says "Pre-Order Price Guarantee" on the listing, so they (you think) would have to honor it...
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

Aren't there going to be two versions? One with barely any tracks/cars which leaves you to buy everything you want via DLC, and a "full" version with everything included in the price? It was a long time ago I read that but I presume it's still the case, in which case, that pre-order will probably be for three tracks and three cars or something stupid...
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

No that was the original plan for GTHD, but then they scrapped that, gave us GTHD for the PS3's launch and have made us wait so long for a full GT5.
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

I've ordered it anyhow, though I suspect to get an email stating how they had priced it wrong.
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

sjees i can not wait any longer,
my logitech G25 is shaking already :)

I have just ordered PES2010 for 20 quid too, no doubt it'll get cancelled too.
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

Oh God, Play better not change my Windows 7 pre order...
 
Re: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)

The £45 pre-orders were a genuine offer from Microsoft so I wouldn't worry.
