Audi R8 Meets Gran Turismo (inc Nürburgring video footage)

Oh come on, stop being so biased, i play on 42'' pioneer hd, and yes i think the graphics are good, especially the car models but come on, it's a long way off from photo real

Well, I respectfully disagree, but that's what board debates are all about.

Hey guys, while reading the pdf-document I noticed sth. In the document (btw. it is the official "finance-report-document 2008 of audi) they say the game is going to come out in 2009. Is that a sure hint? I don't know. What do you think? It's on page 13.

Here's the original: Und dieses „Gran Turismo“? Es ist eines der erfolgreichsten
Rennspiele. Über 700 verschiedene Fahrzeuge und 50
Strecken. Eine atemberaubende Grafik. Und so pedantisch
aus der Realität gescannt, dass die digitale Nordschleife an
keiner Stelle mehr als maximal fünf Zentimeter vom
Original abweicht. 2009 kommt die neue, fünfte Version
von „GT“, wie Fans ihr Spiel nennen, auf den Markt.

Here's my translation: And this "Gran Turismo"? It is one of the most important racing games. Over 700 cars and 50 tracks (i guess they're talking here about GT4...i don't know). Truly unbelievable graphics. And everything is scanned so remarkably precise that on the digital "Nordschleife" no place differs more than 5 centimeters from the original. 2009, the new, fifth version of "GT", as the fans of the series call their game, is going to hit the market.

So, I hope it's kinda "official" lol.

Well, it's starting to seem that way. It's probably gonna hit in fall.

In case you guys did not already know there is a full English version. Here.

Lol well, this should clear up some confusion. Oh yeah he mention how they have several camera perspectives for the interior, looks like polyphony has being listening to us after all.

Yeah I remember I mentioned that

But PD had those ideas before even fans knew about Interior. So far in GT5P there are 4 angles for Interior view.

Front, Left, right, Rear


Before on GT5P DEMO there were 2 more
Front, Left, Right, Rear, Left Rear, Right Rear.

I hope there are few more. Center of the Dash camera, Hood cam, as well many more for Replays.

I just want to see someone spending 1 million credits on a large, powerful supercar, take it out onto a wet track, and wreck it on the first corner, then have to spend another hour or two acquiring enough credits to have their car repaired.

It would change the whole dynamic of the game.

Or better yet, the ability to total your car beyond repair

I didn't play the Demo so I don't know what those angles were, but in case some of you don't know: if you select the Left and Right views on analogic buttons, you realize they're not exact angles (the Rear one is), because with the analogic buttons while doing more or less pressure you can view more or less to the Left/Right. There's basically a 180º angle rotation for the front part of the car.

B-spec sometime done the same lap times as you some times faster and the one thing I didn’t like about B-Spec it’s burned up the tires was to fast.

I'm suprised you found B-Spec to burn up tyres faster than yourself. I could never outlast the b-spec driver between pitstops. Even when trying to slow down to comparable lap times.

B spec Bob was good with tyres for me, because pulling himself off every wall didn't scrub rubber off very fast.......

I never out-lasted Bob on tyres, but I have a very aggressive driving style. Bob is much smoother than I am driving, but anyone watching him would be forgiven for thinking 'smooth isn't fast'.

Every button on the PS3 pads is analog except for start & Select and R3 & L3.
But in the demo, you could also look left and right while looking behind iirc.

Same here.
I can't stand that kind of 'smoothness' that Bob offers while racing my car, as I always try to race as fast as I can throughout the race and therefore, my tyres always wear out faster than Bob does. I know that Bob's driving is smooth, but not fast enough to compete against other AI drivers IMO.

Appologies if someone stated this earlier, but in the english pdf of this article there is this text..

"The sun,
for example, which either blinds the driver on some parts
of the track or plunges the cockpit into deep shadows on
others. The dirt that flies against the windshield if the car
in front of you leaves the road and skids across the grass."

Not sure if thats poetic license, but I didn't see any evidence of these things in the video, here's hoping though!

On the camera views topic, sometimes when you are on the grid in an online race you get a weird centre cockpit view with crappy textures, just for a split second.

Sunday is the 24h race on the Nürburgring Norschleife and PD,Sony germany and Citroen will bring the GT by Citroen car there.

Also the Nordschleife track will be officialy playable in the playstation gaming truck in GT5P.So i hope we will see some videos from the new version of the Nordschleife.

Like that would affect the development of the game, for gods sake...

How come people keep saying there will be a new version of nordschleife, is this fact or just assumption?, i hope it's true but all the videos have shown the gt4 track updated, just like suzuka. If they have already updated it then why would they model a new one. I hope it's true because people keep saying this, but the videos show otherwise.

You do realise that an "updated" Suzuka is still a new Suzuka. Same goes for Nürburgring. Their was once a time when Nürburgring videos were shown with GT5 cars and blocky guard rails and and corners, so if Nürburgring is shown with curvy guard rails and corners, it would be a new Nürburgring, even it is just "updated".
