Gran Turismo 5

The level of detail, Yamauchi admits, might be "too much" and better suited for the next PlayStation. The developers even reproduced the graffiti from the Nurburgring tracks — something that is very much part of that track's tradition. And the team has been trying to keep the in-game graffiti as up-to-date as possible before it ships. (No, it will not feature the profane graffiti!)

This obsessiveness over detail, however, is exactly what players want from a new Gran Turismo. The attention to detail shows in new additions like smoke illumination, collision sparks and kicking up debris. The detail is also readily evident in the Travel Photo Mode that lets players travel to locales like Japan or Italy and snap pictures in pictoresque spots like the Kyoto Gion.

But that's the entire reason for liking the GT series. They really went out of their way for detailing. As a fan of motorsports, I appreciate it when they go the extra mile and do the research from info on make/model to the sponsors on circuits.

Day/Night and weather for ALL tracks.

Wow, that's great. I've always enjoyed racing on the special stages b/c they're at night. Also like I stated in the E3 thread, I hope they took so long cause they added the old option of racing paint modification from GT/2 or at least add it as a future download hopefully.

If the E3 trailer is anything to go by, looks like it confirms day to night transitions on the Nurburgring 24hr endurance race.

love this gif

everything screams awesome. also, if anyone didn't notice, stig was the driver in the GT5 trailer at E3 when they were showing the ingame top gear test track

[Null]

Incoming racism suit again. Reminds me of that camera situation with Asians. Cept this time it just won't let Asians drive.

Actually facetracking would suck ass for me. I keep my T.V on splitscreen when playing games like this. Will be watching movie's half the time and not the road.

[BRP]

A 1000 fucking cars man. 1000 fucking cars.

[Kaisha]

1,000+ cars? I'd love to see how much disc space the game uses.

Face tracking is awesome if it's natural feeling, will be nice to own a game that actually uses the damn thing for gameplay purposes. Only thing that's disappointing to me is only just above 20 tracks. I hope those variations make them feel fresh though as this game will take ages to complete.

Can't wait to use my G27 on it.

[Darus Grey]

Got 3 PS3s ready to goooooooooooooooooooooo. Why must GT5 taunt me?

GT 2 also had a lot of cars.

It just looks amazing, I can't wait!

20 tracks is more then enough once you add in weather and mirroring. I don't even want to think about Laguna Seca in the rain.

[Tajin]

Why did you bold NASCAR, that can't be good stuff

[Krandor]

I dunno, I could take extreme amounts of pleasure of ramming #88 into the wall.

[Lucavi]

Yeah, wiping people out from the smallest touch is going to be awesome. Repair bill's gonna be a bitch, though.

[Omniyoji]

A 1000 fucking cars man. 1000 fucking cars.

It's the very least they could do. GT2 had 65x, GT4 had 50 more. They had to step it up some how. I hope they bring back some silhouette racers from GT2 and more.

[Kaisha]

So did they basically confirm every single car will have damage modeling?

I recalled from awhile ago that only a specific line of cars would have it.
(and I'll ignore the lolness of the video posted that was 'demonstrating' it)

[Krandor]

I'd say nay considering "will feature adaptive and accurate body deformation and performance damage based on point of impact and velocity (on select vehicles)."

The original plan was to only include damage on vehicles as part of the rally races and nascar races because it would take a lot of work to do it for all cars. In the newest trailer from the Sony conference though, you can see a flipped Evo taking damage on what appears to be a standard track. I'd much rather prefer the original plan for rally and Nascar than damage on only certain vehicles.

[Krandor]

It's probably going to come down to whatever vehicles they could get the rights from the manufacturer to damage. I would assume this would mean most of the high end exotics are out, which is a shame cause I'd leave to see what a Zonda looks like after ramming into a wall @ 200 MPH.

[Krandor]

Awesome.

I actually read up on the topic while I was in class, and 200 of the cars (didn't specify which) are "Premium" with full interior modeling and the damage modeling.
