Cracking idea, I'd do it myself but I haven't got a Neogaf user account and I'm too lazy to make one just for that.

Who wants to bet we'll be seeing some of this (finally) at E3?

I may be one of the oddballs here, but I though the damage you could inflict on race cars was dandy. It may not be up to Forza's level, but it's better than Ferrari Challenge. I even prefer it to GTR Evo's, which is pretty hard to grasp exactly what the game is doing to you when you bang up a car. The visual stuff is rather minor to insignificant. Then all of a sudden, the engine blows or the wheels come off as if for no apparent reason.

It could stand some polishing up, but frankly, if that's all we get, it should make most of us happy.

I'm curious to what the customization tag will entail, since all we've seen so far is that mystery Mini and the modded Tuscan. The word allows for a ton of stretch in its definition, anyways; we've had "customization" since GT2, when we got wheels. And GT4 had wings... .

[chepe371]

ONe size fits all Wings, ahahaha, that looked great on hot hatches (clio) but terrible on large cars like the Mustang, ahahahha, but i dont beleive tat counts as customization, if theyre mentioning it as a feature of the game like Rallying and Damage, you gotta think theres more to it.

True, but GT4 customization is horribly weak. It's "why bother?" weak.

But I think customization entails a lot. Interior, exterior (perhaps like NFS Underground) minus the spinning rims and neon lights.

But for PD to call this a revolution, they're implying either that GT5 will:

1. Reach the bar and raise the bar (set by FM3's in-depth customization.)

OR

2. Totally go above and beyond FM3's bar and include things that I cannot imagine at the current time. Oh, surprises!

well, except for the fact they mentioned it for GT4 too.

I do think we'll get a bit more this time around, but who knows. We haven't had an update to the wheel shop in a decade...

[Tenacious D]

I think that customization has to at least move a few steps in the direction of Forza 3. While Ferrari Challenge seems to use the Forza 2 engine, and thus some measure of livery editing, other games such as the Need For Speed series have made progress with customization and livery painting. I keep thinking of even ModNation Racers, which while a simple game, still gives you enough power in the livery shop to create basic murals.

This isn't a matter of having to simulate the crushing effect against virtual molecules of differing substances, i.e. damage. This kind of a technical hurdle should be more of a hop by now. Some of us have been hollering for race mod and a livery editor since GT3 days. With a system as powerful as the PS3, I think this time we'll get it.

Can't wait for Tuesday, I believe there is going to be a lot more to this game than most people believe. I also firmly believe in a July/August release date, with all the specific GT5 advertising at Le Mans, seems to be everywhere. I just don't see that kind of money being spent for something thats going to release in more than a couple months time where most people would forget about it.

Tuesday can't come soon enough, hope I get home from work to see it live.

[Predwolf]

I'd like to be put into a coma from now until 10am on Tuesday, please!

So I haven't heard anything official as of yet but can anyone give some sort of confirmation as to whether or not gtplanet will have a presence on the showfloor this year?

[Strittan]

Here is hoping we will finally see realistic drag racing, although it's not likely...

Yes. Sage, one of our moderators here will be attending the show. That's all I know for sure.

Jordan confirmed it to me.

Wow, this could be epic.

[Turbo-Kai]

I investigated the trailer again and again...and suddenly found the following for a thousandth of second...I guess kaz wanna wind us up...

With revolution they're not specifically talking about customization as you seem to be implying.

[paskowitz]

We also need to consider that customization is not just body kits and liveries, its also car parts and upgrades. I remember Kaz was talking a while back (SEMA I believe) saying that he would love to have real life performance parts in the game that effect the cars in the game the same way they do in real life. To me at least, that is revolutionary.

Considering Sony's Play Create Share mantra that is all the rage, I would not be surprised if there is a decent level of customization.

One final thought I have been having is if GT5 does not meet Kaz's standards yet the game has to be released this year there is no reason why we won't/can't get post launch support. So whatever does not make it into the final release can always be patched in.
