  19. Black Chamber Says:

    What…..is…..going…..on?!?!?!?!?

    FINALLY – A release date! *cries* *tears*

    What about rain? ;)

  20. KoosSpeeTerreur Says:

    Finnaly! Can’t believe i’m so excited about some facts and a multi-angle screenshot. But hell these facts are great!!!

  21. Jack_uk Says:

    Where is this so called release date I don’t see it does anyone else?

  22. eddie Says:

    So…830 cars carried over from GT4? WTF!
    Sounds like only 170 cars will have full interiors and damage.
    How many of them are carried over from GT5P?
    I don’t like the sound of this really.
    Seems like we are being set up for massive DLC (which is OK if GT5 is your one true love, I suppose).

  23. rich_uk Says:

    well thats encouraging what ever it says its official the link goes to the jap website. can anyone translate japanese? : )

  24. GT4Ever Says:

    So looks like we get 1000 cars but just 170 new cars and 830 cheap converted GT4 cars :S

  25. Recury Says:

    ONRAINFOTOARUBAMU = online photo album?

    ONRAINRIPUREIARUBAMU = online replay album?

    i guess?

  26. eddie Says:

    There is NO release date on the Japanese site!

  27. addict3d Says:

    Great news Jordan! When everyone started to get mad about zero info on GT5, comes this BOMB !

  28. Parky92 Says:

    This is very confusing lol

  29. Jake Says:

    Customizable soundtrack sounds like a huge plus.

  30. Aaron Says:

    170 cars with interiors alone? *cries*

  31. Shandy706 Says:

    I believe it says.

    170 of 1000 car models have damage.

    Looks like the interior reflects damage…like shattered windows, bent doors.

    So it looks like the Nascar and Rally cars will have damage…if numbers are right. That’s it.

    830 Models are standard models…without full damage.

    NOT FULL DAMAGE ON ALL CARS

  32. Marky264 Says:

    I’m confused and excited and confused and confused again, Need a clean up pleaseeeeeeeee

  33. DaveTheStalker Says:

    That Tesla is bad ass, it was on Speed’s Supercars Exposed last night.

    YouTube functionality is awesome!!!

    Custom soundtracks is awesome!!! Demon Hunter, Project 86, Stavesacre, and Mozart!!!!

  34. wbrinkman Says:

    Yes, not full damage on all cars it seems, dissapointed.

  35. JDigital Says:

    I don’t even know whats going on anymore, I just want to get back to the safety of my racing rig and race the same 6 tracks some more.

    /s

  36. eddie Says:

    I fear the Forza fanclub will be laughing.
    Well, laugh all you want…until you get RROD!

  37. Jake Says:

    Which is up to 54%, according to IGN’s report earlier this week!

  38. Alan Says:

    Japan isnt a different country, its a different world, can we not just get info like, this many cars, that amount of tracks, this is the release date which by the way i still cant find, can anyone confirm that date and give a link to where it says it

  39. Pabs Says:

    Disappointed with 170 cars only with damage.!!! really disappointed!

  40. Zmann42087 Says:

    YouTube replay video compatibility is huge!

  41. Marky264 Says:

    Whats all this release date malarky? who said 12/10/2009?

  42. Aaron Says:

    I really hope that PD did the damage perfect on those 170 cars .grrrr..
    can someone confirm that interiors are on all the cars?

  43. eddie Says:

    Ignore the release date. It’s another hoax.

  44. Jake Says:

    Ignore the release date it was not listed on the site.

  45. N155AN Says:

    nice info, will be nice to get a full translation , and shed a little light on the interior car issue, if it is just 170 cars with interior thats only 100 more than prologue :S

  46. Shandy706 Says:

    How in the world can they only have 170 cars with damage?

    Doesn’t Forza 3 have like over 400 with interiors and damage?

    May be false info….but if true….many shall be pissed.

    Heheh, glad I have both a 360 and PS3 :-p

  47. N155AN Says:

    love the youtube featrue, much needed

  48. Marky264 Says:

    Until I get confirmed English info I wont be looking to much into this for the time being. Translation is still to vague at the moment.

  49. JDigital Says:

    Yea I think we still need a real translation, some of the translated items don’t make sense so people are trying to figure out what they mean. But with automated translation HUGE errors are very possible. We still don’t really “know” all of it.

  50. Alan Says:

    170 out of a 1000 cars only with an interior, i doubt it, thats has to mean 170 cars that u can damage

  51. Ryan Says:

    Porsche?

  52. Jack_uk Says:

    17% Of GT5 cars will have damage? surely that is too low. I guess we will just have to wait for a proper translator to arrive.

  53. aleksandar Says:

    This English is bad I don”t understand 30% of words. But we have some nice information…

  54. Aaron Says:

    Hey we need that translator guy who is with Kaz :p…

  55. James Says:

    I’m glad we at least got some new news, but some of it seems very disappointing, only 170 cars with interiors and damage? I surely hope that something that isn’t the case and that something has been lost in translation :(

  56. DrThomas Says:

    Considering Prologue has 70 cars, all with interiors, there’s no way they only added 100 cars with that.

    I dunno, damage seems to be vague, but I’m guessing it’s 170 new cars, 830 cars carried over from Gran Turismo 4. I wouldn’t jump to conclusions though.

  57. xtaz Says:

    If only 170 cars have full interior + damage, that would be weird.
    That means the other 800+ cars don’t have cockpit view or what?
    If that’s the case I’d be disappointed but still buy it anyway.

  58. Jeremy Says:

    Gameplay footage would really ice this GT5 info cake

  59. Zmann42087 Says:

    To be frank, I could care less if only 17% of the cars have damage. I rarely crash. :-p

    On the other hand, if only 17% of the cars have an in-cockpit view.. well, then that is something to lament. :-(

  60. xtaz Says:

    So my best hope is that they mean there are only 170 NEW cars, and the other cars from GT4 also have damage + full interior view. To be honest that would sound more realistic than the other.

  61. CRD Says:

    other comments here are talking about 170 cars with damage. i understand the translation as actually 1000 + 170 cars with damage because the translator has understood the japanese character for one thousand to be separate from those of 170. so 1170 with damage and 830 models like gt4 without damage. and 80+ tracks

  62. RAugie Says:

    i wont believe any of it until there is a full press release with release date and full info
    please let there be at least 500 cars with interiors.
    please let there be weather in the game……

  63. JDigital Says:

    CRD… that would be almost 2000 cars unless I read that wrong..

  64. Mono Says:

    Maybe it means that only on 170 cars the interior takes also damage ;-)
    I cant imagine that there are over 800 cars without interior…

  65. Aaron Says:

    ^^^^^^
    yeah RAugie , lets hope for that ..i with u on that :)
    please PD…………..

  66. DrThomas Says:

    Ha, if Gran Turismo 5 had almost 2000 cars and over half of them have damage and cock pit views, I’d find it hard to complain the rest didn’t. :P

  67. CRD Says:

    nah i’m wrong. i wish i was right!

  68. Zmann42087 Says:

    well shit, just get a proper translation asap. lol

    We could all donate for a professional translation… only 10 cents per word! lol

  73. morshed Says:

    RIP FLOPZA3 aka garbage MS race

    GT5 has 1000 cars
    flopza3 has 400 cars LOL

    GT5 has 16 cars per track
    Flopza 3 has 8 cars per track LOL

    GT5 runs at 1080p
    FLopza 3 runs at 720p

    GT5 has weather and night racing
    FLOPZA3 has nothing

    GT5 has ultrarealistic environment and cars
    Flopza3 has plastic cars and environment

    GT5 has 95 REAL TRACKS + WRC and NASCAR tracks

    Flopza 3 has just 50 real tracks

    sucks to be a suck box 360 owner

  74. CRD Says:

    if you go on the european gt5 site it takes you straight to uk playstation. hopefully they’re updating the gt5 site!

  75. eddie Says:

    ‘PUROGURESSHIBUDAUNRODO’ – ‘Me love you long time’?

  76. Jake Says:

    Don’t start the console wars now we don’t even know what all this stuff means.

  77. Gigi Manetta Says:

    I hope they won’t release many cars and circuits with DLC… it sounds like beeing cheated :-(

  78. vassalfada Says:

    So, 1000 vehicles, 170 completely new (read “never seen before in a GT game”) + 830 models already present in GT4 but fully remodeled for GT5. Interiors are provided for all the cars (1000)

  79. Ryan Says:

    Who cares about Tesla we want Porsche!

  80. eddie Says:

    @Gigi Manetta
    Wan’t the idea with GT5 (or maybe GTHD) to get you to guy the tracks on the game disc, then cars as DLC.
    I reckon GT5 will be the heaviest DLC game to date.

  81. eddie Says:

    CRD
    “if you go on the european gt5 site it takes you straight to uk playstation. hopefully they’re updating the gt5 site!”

    Its been like that for ages.

  82. gtone339 Says:

    SWEET!!!!SO only 170 vehicles with damage? Or are they just race cars with it?

  83. martin Says:

    it better have the datsun 1600 and be able to put an SR20 TURBO in it that would be the best
    i also hope all the cars have damage and full interior modeling

  84. Emu76 Says:

    Could be that 170 premium models where interior corresponds to damage means that 170 cars have properly modelled interiors, whereas the rest just have simple interiors modelled from photographs etc. and only the “premium” interiors will respond to damage, so they may get bent up, but you could also see things like warning signs light up?

  85. Emu76 Says:

    Keep looking on the Japanese english language site, that’s where you’ll see it in english if anywhere.

    The original post has been updated with the full English translation.

    That ain’t no official translation, so it don’t mean jack.

  90. Josh Says:

    I am probably wrong but could the last part be talking about 3d like we saw in early 09?

  91. Pabs Says:

    Sounding better, with 170 interiors being damaged modeled.

  92. Morris Says:

    CAN SOMEONE FOR GODS SAKES GET A JAPANESE TRANSLATOR LOL! not knowing what it means for definite is causing me a brain hemorrhage

  93. kayslay Says:

    custom music?!??! hahaha now thats what im talking about

  94. SLRMCLAREN Says:

    I HOPED BETTER FROM THIS GAME, HOPEFULLY THE INFORMATION GIVEN IS NOT FULLY ACCURATE

  95. Jake Says:

    Even if we have it translated properly it is still subject to different interpretations…

  96. JeffGTR Says:

    So it’s still only 170 cars with interiors and/or damage?
    That’s what we’ve been waiting for?
    No wonder they said it was ready for release at any time.
    The damn thing has no content!

  97. Webbo Says:

    This is looking good, lets just hope it means what we hope it means.

  98. JeffGTR Says:

    “Jake Says:

    That’s how wars get started.

  99. AJ_is_Sik Says:

    Well im excited just to get news about gt5 most likely it will be fully explained at TGS

  100. Pabs Says:

    I believe, although this is only taking it from comments here and elsewhere.

    All cars have damage, but only 170 of the interiors will react to damage in some form.

  101. addict3d Says:

    @ Dazza ,

    Go complain about facts somewhere else.

  102. lmntr34 Says:

    i just hope they have race modifications like the 1st gt n gt2….n interior in all n all cars i could live with acurate car crashes just in race cars..unlike forza that your car front lightd seem just to warp..lol..oh yeah..i mean wats the point of crashses if its not done right…plus u cant really expect the ps3 to handle damage for over a thousand cars???n especially wen done to mimic real life crashes

  103. iDiaz Says:

    Porsche NOW! NOW!

  104. Sunshine Says:

    I LOVE YOU PD, YOU’VE FINALLY DELIVERED!

    GT5 IS HERE, GT IS BACK, SONY IS BACK, ITS ALL HOW IT SHOULD BE

    .

    .
    .
    No, I’m not over-reacting :D

  105. Dazza Says:

    @addict3d

    Go suck morshed’s dick u fag

  106. Keuja Says:

    That’s how I see it:
    Total of 1000 vehicules
    All the vehicules have the cockpit (interior) view
    All the vehicules have damage
    170 vehicules have damage reflected graphically in the external AND in the cockpit view.
    830 vehicules have damage reflected graphically in the external view only

    I say “reflected graphically” because let’s say you drive in the cockpit view with of those 830 and drive into a wall, you won’t see any visual difference in the cockpit but the damage will still affect your gameplay.
    If you switch to the external view, you’ll then see the damage on the external car model.

  107. Dazza Says:

    calm down sunshine
    gt5 is still vapourware

  108. Jeremy Says:

    its 170 cars that you have not raced before this game and 830 from previous GT games. The 830 cars may not have interiors, but will have damage.

  109. Aaron Says:

    yesssssssssss!

  110. Jake Says:

    I hope so Keuja that sounds better!

  111. old skool Says:

    @Keuja

    I think the same way but the 170 cars are the nascar and WRC ones which i understance might have more damage but i would like the other cars have the same kind not just an external look.

    Yes, answers like that clearly make the point of a crying fanboy. I’m trying to be polite to you, and stating the facts of this post, but i don’t expect you to comprehend this, since you’re too blind protecting forza.

    The End.

    On another subject, i am a bit confused with the head tracking, it will need to be extremely precise, because if we move our heads too much we wont be able to look through those turns, but then again, we all seen the accuracy of the playstation eye at e3 ;)

  138. Danny Says:

    “Represented is full fall in vehicles [possibly rollover]”

    When I read that, I thought it meant that eventually the car will just stop working. Like If you crash, you can limp, until your car finally stops, or that your brakes go out if you ride them, or over use them, or something along those lines.

  141. Jack_uk Says:

    The way I see it 170 (which are race cars possibly) can have modified moddled interiors to reduce the weight of the car. This is understandable because its just like real life, take stuff out of the car to make it lighter.

    This sucks. Only 170 cars will have damage and interiors. Which means that only some cars will have interiors, leaving the rest the same as they were in GT4. Good Job Polyphony! Make us wait for years, and you give us and Evo of GT4! If it stays this way, i may not buy this game.

  165. Forza3FTW Says:

    Why are they using GT4 models in this game? That is really sad.

    According to the site, Gran Turismo 5 will feature 1,000 cars. Of these, 170 are “premium models” and will feature interiors and damage compatibility. 830 are listed as “standard models” meaning that their model data comes from Gran Turismo 4

    hahah no interiors in 830 cars !!!

  166. Stipe Says:

    So far it sounds quite good and so quite confusing. Still hold all hype for solid infos but i dont have doubt about GT5 (so far on one title let me down, in most time it amazed me and just in some small parts disappointed me, but that was already known facts which I hope is not true, but…).
    1000 cars is something I expected from start (even is number of 600 not bad). And about those who say that just 170 cars will be new (in GT5 or GT5P quality) are not serious, guys this is PD and they newer make quasy-products (remember that). We already know that about half cars in GT5P was from GT4 (or older titles) and all cars in same quality so have no fear, all cars will be top quality and all will have interior view. About damage I can’t be so sure but again I think that they (PD) will not make quasy-feature but, …we will see.
    Here is not mentoided but if I remember well KY is confiremed night racing and weather conditions.

    So to sum up this; I think that GT5 will be biggest game so far in (in series if not in general, but want to avoid war about known issue here)

    …and I can’t wait to put my hands on game. Smooookin’

  173. marchy Says:

    From what I can gather from the Japanese text, ONLY the 170 Premium cars will have FULL interior (interactive?), and exterior damage enabled. the carried-over GT4 cars will not.

    Also there are 20 courses and 60(plus?) different configurations in total.

    I am interested in the last bit about the HEAD-TRACKING function…..

  174. Tyrone Says:

    guys it’s really not that hard ….

    the game has 1000 cars ( all with modeld interiors )
    and 170 of thoses ( WRC,Nascar,… possibly le mans type thingys) will have damage – the damage will also be shown in the interior of the car

    there are 60 courses AT LEAST in the game and roughly 20 more to be confirmed.

    where it says some are from GT4 it means they have previously been in GT4. In GT4 there were Rally cars such as subarus and mitsu’s so i reckon it adds up to ( excluding the 170 damageable cars) about 220 new cars which include our ferraris , bugatti veyron , that lambo thats on the PSP version, and all regular updated models of cars that were not in GT4 such as 370z and things.

  175. Tyrone Says:

    1000-170 = 830 normal cars ( still with interior )
    830-700 ( number of cars in GT4) = 130 so i ment 130 not 220 new cars sorry

    hey its 3:36 in the morning where i am

  176. Tyrone Says:

    might be of help

  191. S_M_91 Says:

    If PD were using real physics modelling, damage would not be limited to 170 cars, so that just goes to show that either:

    1. The translation is confusing and damage applies to all cars
    2. They are just adopting panel-swapping techniques = lame to the extreme

    Either damage on all cars, or nothing. If it is only 170 cars that have damage, forget it. I’ll get Forza 3 instead.

  192. Mornelithe Says:

    Awesome, absolutely Fantastic PD. Thank you Kaz & Co. We appreciate all the hard work and effort you’ve put into this game, and we know that the faithful will reward your efforts through massive sellthroughs.

  193. Apo Says:

    Official GT page is currently under maintenance, we will soon see the features ourselves.

  194. Rhett Mash Says:

    Am I the only one here who is sort of upset with this featureset.

    1000 cars (awesome)
    170 built for GT5 that have interiors + damage
    rest are GT4 ports and the likes. You guys can read it any way you like, but I think that PD is being very vague so that they can cover up their shortcomings. If they wanted to say all have damage or all have interiors, they would have said it. It’s something to be proud of. Instead they just beat around the bush. This is unacceptable. So many years waiting for this and you guys are going to give us only 170 cars built for PS3!!

    Rollover – Awesome love it.
    Hybrids – Yeah!!!

    Online photo album, replay album, replay export to YouTube – That’s impressive.
    Face tracking cockpits – Neat!! Believe it when I see it though.

    Car wash – WTF?

    So that’s all fine. Where is the weather and night time stuff that they promised?

    My basic thoughts. PD is pushing this baby out the door early. The featureset seems incomplete!! Either PD is intimidated and is shipping it incomplete OR they are just planning on milking us fans through DLC.

    Overall, I’ve been a cat on the fence about getting Forza 3. PD is not making it any easier. At the moment I might get both. I so want to believe that my beloved GT will come out on top, but from what I’ve seen, for the PS3 GT5 is not what GT4 was for the PS2.

    Yes I am not into Forza, but my friends have me convinced otherwise. The numbers on that game look solid (400 cars – ALL with damage + interiors + full customization, 100+ courses, etc). Plus, the screenshots are amazing.

    At the end of the day, I’ll be happy cause I’ll probably get both and have the best of both. However, I fear that PD might get edged out this time around if they are going to ship an incomplete GT5.

    Not trying to be negative, but I’ve been a fan of Gran Turismo since GT 1, no car simulating game has ever come close, but I played Forza a couple days ago for the first time and that was Forza 2 I think, and comparing that to GT4, the graphics were alot better and the choice of cars and the features for example the selling your car online and shit.
    But I think if GT5 is going to be how they say, I got a feeling it’s not going to be as good as we think

  198. Tibo Says:

    only 170 cars have damage???

    I honestly think that all cars support cockpit view,
    I think that all cars have damage, too.
    Maybe they just dont reflect it by the inside, like doors ripped off.

    Maybe the translator got it wrong, it says 170 premium cars, but someone said
    before maybe its 1.170, (1.700 cars in total)
    and 830 cars from GT4 – what does that mean? that they look
    exactly like GT4? I dont think so…

    People, c’mon, they can’t just take the 830 3D car models from GT4 and
    paste on GT5, and do 100 premium cars in one year + those from GT5 Prologue (170)
    THATS IMPOSSIBLE! THEY STARTED WITH GT5 ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO!!

    THEY HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO DO ALL THOSE 1.700 OR 1.000 CARS PRETTY WELL DONE

    THEY HAD TIME ENOUGH TO POLISCH THAT GAME TO BE THE BEST

    DONT YOU THINK THEY DID?

  200. Duck3321 Says:

    That’s exactly what i was thinking. Over 5 years of production and just 170 cars to get damage.

  201. bruce Says:

    So there’s gona be interior damage for only 170 cars, every car will have interior view and external damage? and is tha tuning shop gona have visual upgrades as well?

    is there gona visual upgrades at the tuning shop?

  203. Juhaniman Says:

    “THEY HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO DO ALL THOSE 1.700 OR 1.000 CARS PRETTY WELL DONE”

    ?

    Damn, no wheel shop? That sounds lame but I loved the wheel shop.

  211. Axel.370 Says:

    Juhaniman, 6 Months for one car? Impossible..
    NFS for example, takes only one year for every game,
    and the next one comes with 71 cars.. (NFS Shift)
    I didn’t really understand ur theory..

    people, think like this, its a simulator, no arcade,
    its more about driving properly, so you wont crash driving in certain form,
    so for certain models u wont even miss the damage,
    for example a suzuki swift, its impossible to lose the handling of it and crash,
    (i hope they can get scratched at least..)
    but for example with a ferrari f430 it is more probable that you’ll crash it,
    so, there is going to be damage on it! u wont even drive all those 1000 cars..
    ur gonna choose only elite models and some other cars so u can pass through career,
    these models are the ones with damage

    thats what i think..

  212. PinappleMatt Says:

    The Car Washes/Oil Change option is quite possible the best thing ever even though its completely pointless.

    I yes i reallly do hope damage on all cars is true and i also i hope they change the user interface to More like GT5P becuase its doesnt look that great in the screenshots.

  213. PinappleMatt Says:

    GT5 not having Porsche, they have Ferrari now, who cares?

  214. falcomagno Says:

    I think you all didn’t get it ;)

    > 170 Premium new models (full interior modeling, the interior corresponds to vehicle damage)

    Isn’t the meaning obvious (assuming a correct translation)?

    A decent damage model requires the modelling of the mostly invisible internal structures of a car. “Full interior modeling” means that the full car structure is modelled, not just its exterior shape. This is ambitious and cool! It will deliver ultra-realistic damages.

    The above sentence says nothing about “cockpit view” or “cabine view”.

    Most people may have misled by associating the term “interior” with “cockpit”. Old thinking …

  215. cuarache_GTR Says:

    its funny how some of you may claim to speak english but not many of you can read it let me confirm for you because I CAN READ!! Yippee!!

    170 cars will have full damage that will correspond with the interior I.e on cockpit view if you crash you will see the effects from within the car.

    the remaining 830 will feature damage but due the fact the interior wont be customisable they will not feature interior damage, also i would like to point out that 830 cars cannot come from gt4 because gt4 only had 700+ cars its fairly obvious to me that some cars would have featured previously in gt4. i mean come on some of those cars will be great cars that you will wont to drive no matter what game you were playing.

    Also for the Forza fan boys i respect you i have an xbox 360 and as far as next-gen tech goes forza is the reigning champ because PD havent released a full game on ps3 yet, no point in saying things on here knowing that gt5 will be so good that you will want to own both, now you wont cause your pride wont let you. shoot off your mouth when you’ve taken the time to own and complete both games i know i’ll be enjoying both!! oh and i hope they bring back normal starts for gt5 the rolling starts are cool but a good start can make or break a race and theyre more exciting.

  216. cerebus23 Says:

    Thanks for the info, awsome stuff, cannot wait for december.

    I think it was kinda reveiled a few weeks back that the racing series cars would have the full damage treatment. The normal cars, since we know not all manufacturers would sign off on full damage modeling, they dropped it entirely is what most people gleaned out of the previous snippets of info. They had always said they would do damage if it could be done fully and realistically so assuming ferrari and others would not allow realistic damaging modeling, we can assume i suppose that all the normal cars willl not have damage and we will be stuck with the penality system.

    Either that or like other games that have damage, they would have to cheese the damage on some cars to not ruffle the feathers of some makers. which was never a situation pd was for.

    and the flamers keep it up you make the human species proud with your lol worthy rantings and stupidity. come decemberish we will have both games and some real head to heads and legit discussion can go on about the games, not this oh we not played either stuff but because it is in this console it obviously is going to pwn the other game. *golf clap* keep up the good work gentlemen.

    thanks to gtplanet for an excellent find, cheers.

    All cars will have interior view in GT5 give or take a few production or concept cars like with the GTR Proto on GT5P.

    The 170 primium cars are the nascar and WRC cars with interior damage.

    I hope that there will be the Gran Turismo World Map and all the traditional Gran Turismo events (eg sunday cup, clubman cup etc from GT4).

    Also, i hope you can customize your car with wings, alloys etc

    Basically, if they made GT4 into full HD and had Top Gear Test Track, 16+ AI cars and in car views then I would be happy and I’m sure everyone else would be to!

    Sorry guys but… No1 seems to recall that GT4 has 725 cars that means there are more then a hundred added from maybe prologues or older gt games but the main point i think is that all these cars will be on the new physics system and that makes all cars better lookin and better driving GT is still the best driving experience only a 1000KG car is realer btw GET the GT5 Wheel it is maddd 900 degrees like the real deal
