First GT5 Photo Mode Samples, Camera Options Overview

Gran Turismo 5 Screenshots Videos November 15th, 2010 by Jordan

Videos and images from Gran Turismo 5‘s “Photo Mode” and “Photo Travel” modes are popping up everywhere, and I’ve gathered a collection of the beautiful images that have been released so far. According to early reports, images can be exported at resolutions of 640×480, 1280×720, or 1920×1080.

    Those are some amazing pictures. Photo mode didn’t seem like one of the features I would be very interested in, but after seeing those photos I can bet I’ll be spending hours playing with it.

    The Mach 1 looks nice. Too bad it’s the only classic Mustang in the entire game. Oh well, at least we get the world’s largest assortment of Subaru Imprezas, Honda Civics and Nissan Skylines. Maybe GT6 will have 2,000 cars and then we may even get a Trans Am or a Pantera.

      You’re right, what would the world be without the Trans Am or the Pantera…

      Seriously, people have to get over the fact that their particular favourite car is not in the game, just be thankful for all the cars that are in it and appreciate that it’s not possible to include every car ever built.

      If Kaz only want to include the cars he likes then let it be, as long as he produces work as beautiful as this then he can do what he wants

    These photos are beautiful!!!! Looking at the 458 Italia… the in game photo… realistic. Nurburg in the morring with the Mustang, it looks like its on location in real life. Six years is deffinitly worth the wait. The standard cars transitioned verry nicely fro GT4. Look closely and you will see a diver in the Nissan MMR and the Honda Accord Euro Type R. Its better than having blacked out windows on the standard cars. Regardless of Premium vs Standard, Gran Turismo 5 will the greatest game of all time. I don’t care if some of the cars are standard, I just want to drive.

    I LOVE the photo mode! I know for sure that I’ll be using this a lot :) And I’m really glad it automatically adds anti-aliasing, because it would otherwise look kinda bad.

      2D door pillars dont do the standards any justice.

      Which cars are Standard? I can’t really tell because of the resolution.

      Those with tinted windows are standard, like the starting-grid Suzuka-east, except first row

    Oh man, theres been so much info coming out I almost forgot about Photo Mode, which was one of the reasons I really wanted the game. This is AWESOME! The 24th cant get here fast enough.

    That first image is unbelievable. If it weren’t for the low-resolution gravel texture I’d have a hard time discerning that from reality.

    WOW just WOW looks so real some pictures I can barely tell if its real or not. If some one would have showed me these pictures and I didn’t know about GT I’m sure I would be tricked that those are real car photos. Beautiful I can’t wait to snap some pictures :)

    looks really good, much like Gran Turismo 4′s version if I remember correctly.

    looks like the shutter is way too fast or something cause the wheels barely look like they are spinning. what’s up with that. same thing from GT4 also.

    The skidmarks…. on the racetrack and on the grass!!! Oh how I have waited for these images. For me the replays showing where I/others spun off with the use of visual clues does make for the most realistic game. To put it this way, people won’t be able to tell if it the images on my bravia are real or not!

    Peace out!

    Does anyone know if the head tracking feature will work with a different view than the view from the cockpit?

    • November 15th, 2010 at 11:52 am - #

      No “Head Tracking” is specifically geared to use in cockpit mode. It’s only a test feature for right now. As is the weather and day/night transitions. When ever PD implements something and it’s not on a grand scale then it’s being tested and will either be removed by the next game or fully integrated. I don’t have any issues with the quality of the standard cars, sure there are some low poly issues to be seen, but all in all they still don’t stick out like a sore thumb. PD seems to have balanced that resolution thing out right, heck they even stuck a driver inside those standard cars.

      Quit complaining about Photo Mode, it’s there for a reason. Kaz likes to take photos and drive lots of cars, this is his creation and he’s showing you how he likes to enjoy it. You don’t have to use it, but it’s there for those who like to, it’s better than nothing. It’s like a bunch of kindergarten kids, always complaining about everything when it’s not their way. You can rest assured that Photo Mode will be a regular part of GT game to come, live with it.

      Kaz stuck in standards because of the length of time it takes to accurately model one premium car into the game, trust me I would take the 800+ standards over a few more premiums. Believe you me FM3 has ~500 cars and I’m supremely bored with their cars, when I go into the dealership, I search and search for a car that looks interesting to drive and tune. The garage has about a little over 100 cars or so, but I don’t drive many of them, because some are just meh and I’ve already tuned and used the good ones. I’ve been spoiled by GT sheer amount of cars that always seems to grace the game. Sure many people complain of 100+ skylines but the car is an Icon in Japan and many companies have crafted special versions, Nissan has special versions…but GT always has a bunch of NSX’s, Lancers, GTO’s and Corvette’s yea go check the list that’s an awful lot of corvettes, that dwarfs FM list of vette’s in the entire series.

      I’m just wondering if PD will ever reintroduce the missing cars from GT2. Lister Storm road car, Vectors, Venturi, Unisia Jegs R33, Oreca Viper ’99(red white and blue) I love that thing so much I made the paint scheme for it in FM3.

      You complainers should try to stop complaining about what you don’t have and be thankful for what you are getting, the game could have always been canceled. Could have been scaled back to have only 200+ cars and 32 courses…learn to be content. Can you sit back and say that from every GT game you have played this one takes the greatest leap forward? Sure every game has it’s shortcomings, but the good bits far outweigh the bad. There is a course generator for crying out loud, what other simulation type race/driving game can boast that? Not only that but you can save and have other people try it out, I can only imagine how creative people will get once the game hits and they get time to tweak course to look like courses missing from the game. That generator alone is worth about a quarter of the asking price for the game. This is the most exciting part of GT5, because if the parameters can be dialed in, then all you would need is track information and we know that stuff is public news, so I am waiting to see what comes of this part of GT5. This should be included in all GT games from now on.

      rant over :)

      @SavageEvil: Totally agree with you. But note that I’m not complaining about anything. I’ll just buy the PlayStation Eye and I also wondered if it would work with the standard cars. If not working, no problem! I’m not worried. I’m more worried about the eternity that is 8 days .. lool .. ;)

      Oh, and I think the photo mode will be so great =)

    my only concerns about standard cars right now are :
    do they have the same driving physics as the premium ?
    what level of sound improvement compare to gt4 ?
    what about the clutch fonction with g25/27,is it working and like prologue?
    do we have to hit the button at every start to use the clutch(that was boring) ?
    i guess no one really knows the answers right know…

    • November 15th, 2010 at 7:19 am - #

      Of course they have the same physics, having 2 physics engines going at once would be nearly impossible with a $2000 gaming computer.
      And there would be absolutely no reason for the clutch not to work.
      As far as sounds go, since they only made standards to save disc space, changing the sounds wouldn’t be an issue, but we can’t be sure about that right now.

      Meant to say ‘let alone a PS3′ after that first sentence.

      if when driving ,let’s say in bumper view,you can’t tell if the car is a standard or premium,that’s just fine to me.

    Standard cars aren’t that bad, they look about as good as Forza 3 cars and they still look ok

      You’re right, look at the far left picture in the row second to the bottom, that Honda Accord Euro R is standard, but it’s detail even for standard car is mind blowing!

    DrTrouserPlank

    The standards only look ” bad” by comparison to the high quality of the premiums. When they are on track you won’t even notice the difference.

    I’m somewhat doubtful that even GT6 will deliver 1000 premium cars if they were only able to model 200 premiums during the 5 years that this game was in development. Don’t see how they will get the other 800 done in two years time.

      CaliBoy1990

      @DrTrouserPlank: The way I see it, the smart thing to do would be to find a compromise of sorts between the 2……and then keep everything{and even improve some things} from GT5, and add another 400-600 cars, and maybe even resurrect some of the old tracks, and it could probably be realistically done in about 3 to 3 and a half years from now, if Sony doesn’t have anymore monumental foul-ups{e.g. they decide to release another GT for the PSP or PSP2 if that ever comes out, etc.}.

      VEYRON STANDARD? WTF

      did you just call gt psp a monumental foul up? are you nuts? that game is genius and the PSP needed it. just because you don’t have one doesn’t mean it sucks. you can go to hell

    The only problem is that I don’t have the game yet!

    Then again, my writing will grind to a halt for months… oh jeepers.
