   Well… I am not going to complain as such, even though I think that 27 is just too few tracks for a game of this size. However, we have to keep in mind the space limitations on the BR Disc since a track takes quite some space on the disc and takes quite some time to produce. However, If I had to make some points on the track list, here they are:

   - Monza, although I am a Ferrari Fan, hence Monza means a hack to me, it is not the most beautiful track in the World.

   - Spa Is. I would have included that without any considerations at all. It has all the features a track MUST have. Hair Pins, Fast Corners, Slow Corners, Chicanes and a long straight with loads of overtaking points.

   - Yas Marina – Abu Dhabi. Not only the F1 layout is beautiful, but in reality the track has multiple layouts which could form different tracks. It also has 2 padocks & Pitlanes.

   - Sorry PD, but something is not very nice: Nurburgring dry and Nurburgring Raining, is not 2 circuits, it is the same circuit but in wet conditions. You cannot consider that as a variation.

   -Track Editor, while I have my doubts on how the track editor will work, it will definately not be a full blown track editor. Not complaining about this, but I am sure that PD will be working on a full blown Track Editor either as a DLC or else as the next massive feature for GT6.

   - On the whole, cannot really complain. I am used to drive on 19 F1 circuits. Having more with a good number of variations is definately a +.

   Thanks PD, Thanks KAZ.

   Hmm yeah I will miss a few tracks, particularly El Capitan, Costa Di Amalfi, Citta Di Aria, Infineon if they aren’t in, also v surprised no New York or Seattle, and whilst I was never crazy about the rally stages in previous GTs (handling didn’t feel right) I had high hopes this time for a few good courses/tracks. Spa would be nice too.

   BUT..surely we should really wait til we know 100% if there will be DLC or not? You’ve seen how some of the tracks are modelled now, how much surrounding detail there is…imagine a couple of the med tracks I mentioned above with beautiful buildings, yachts in the harbour etc. and if that Blu Ray really is full, well I would be more than happy to pay a few pounds/bucks to download some of the “missing” tracks at a later date, and they can sit on my HD

   However if there is no DLC then I admit i will be mystified…this game could potentially last us for many years (it will probably have to!), but this list feels so limited, and in some ways, despite the quantity, the car list too (i’ve addressed that in the other thread)

   Let’s reserve judgment for now though and not get hysterical =)

   A small handful of tracks from GT4 that I’ve already raced 1,000 times, and it’s missing most of my favorites like El Capitan, Hong Kong, Opera Paris, New York, Costa di Amalfi, and Citta di Aria. And a small handful of real life tracks – a selection that doesn’t begin to compare to what’s available in other games that have come out recently.

   Five years for this?

   I think I am going to cancel my Collector Edition and just order the regular GT5. WTF- we are going to get bored with only 27 tracks, many of which I AM already bored with from GT5p that had so few cars and tracks.

   Damn.. if you take away GT5p cars, and GT5p tracks, then take away all standard cars that we’ve already seen in other games, what NEW CONTENT do we have here? NOT MUCH. Not 5 freaking years worth, that’s for sure.

   I think Gran Turismo series is officially DEAD. Killed by what? I don’t know. Laziness? Greed? Is Japan as burdened with government regulations in the workplace as the rest of the modern world? Do all PD employees get 12 weeks paid vacation every year? Do they get smoke/coffee breaks every 2 hours? There must be a reason 5 years and 80 million dorrars and 140 people only produced 27 tracks.

   Maybe Kaz just lost his touch? Maybe Kaz’s best days as a video game maker are well behind him? Everyone knows that the fewer the tracks, the less replay-ability there will be. KAZ knows this more than anyone, yet he spends all PD’s programming time on B-Spec mode and 3-D rendering and 300 miatas, skylines, lancers, etc.. WTF Kaz, WTF.

   I knew GT5 was going to be great because there were going to be so many great tracks. I guess I was completely wrong. If there aren’t double the amount of tracks that got left off this list, this will be the smallest GT ever, besides GT5p- I don’t even count PSP.

   All the cars in the world, all the special effects in the world, all the 3D, B-Spec mode, all the on-line racing in the world, all that BS doesn’t mean jack if we don’t have enough TRACKS to race on.

   The “so-called” track generator doesn’t cut it.. I count that as one extra track because they will all be the same. You couldn’t just let us draw the freaking track out and use generic corners could you? No, then people could actually attempt to CREATE something. NO, you had to take out any HINT of creatively for the people who want to “MAKE” a track. That had to be on purpose, as well as this totally PITIFUL number of tracks included in GT5.

   GT5 — Got Tracks? 5

   What a waste. Yeah I’ll still buy it, but GT5 won’t get played for as long as it could have by me or anyone. We’ll ALL get BORED with the tracks sooner or later. Only this time, unlike all the Gran Turismo series before it, it will be much sooner than later. That’s a shame.

   After the release of the car/tracklists i no longer have this strong URGE for the game. Super disapointed acutally. I’ll put my pre-order on hold for now. Probably my loss but i’ll wait and see what the reviews will say :P

   Well, it’s disappointing. I’m sure there are more tracks we’ve seen but aren’t in the list. Wasn’t Texas Motor Speedway confirmed? I thod I heard about it.

   The car list is also missing cars. Not all the NASCAR race cars are there. Maybe I have to check it again, but I didn’t see every car.

   1031 cars & 27 tracks. This will get pretty boring soon.

   I hope online isn’t like Prologue. I hate Prologue online. You can’t miss a corner. Why can’t it just slow you down instead of waiting for 5 seconds PD?

   Wasn`t El Capitan on the track list video from a few days ago ? The one from the retail version of the game. Maybe i`m wrong, but i`m pretty sure it was included.

     gast1976

     you’re right Luke!!!
     in a video i have seen el capitan too !!!
     so maybe we will have the missing tracks on DLC or maybe we have to unlock them during the game…
     anybody can answer to that?

   I have taken a look into the official GT4 book where are 37 different tracks are listed (51 in all variations, 82 with backward and forward variations). So this CANNOT be everything and that is what came to my mind first, when I saw this list.

     Maybe so……….in fact, I hope. =)

    Maxitsu

    I still want opera Paris, such a great track. and others.

    I should be very happy if all cars are standard, less details in tracks and cars, if there are less cars, less grahics, no weather, no damage, no time changes, no course maker. If the game only had more tracks. even not many tracks are whit time/weather. it just blows. did they 5 years for this? even F1 2010 has 19 tracks. they have to make it in a year. de graphics aren’t as good compared whit GT. But atleast all of them has mindblowing rain and wheather effects.

    Theyve left out alot of good tracks =(

    Gosh I hope midfield and twin ring and seattle are in the game by way of unlocking them but so far it looks good and I agree there should have been at least more brand new tracks to GT5.

    WTFnews

    mayby this isnt all tracks becouse el captain is in the intro but it doesent stand here on the list so let’s see right?

    I have the feeling this isn’t what Kaz wanted to release. I think Soony just got tired of waiting and told him, ‘just release what you’ve got, we can’t stall for you anymore.’

    • November 13th, 2010 at 5:18 am - #

      lado

      That is a possible explanation why there are just so few new cars of the new generation and just 27 tracks and some with weather. Compared to 1031 cars 27 tracks are nothing, believe me GT5 will be boring after a time, not because of the cars, but of the tracks, the tracks will repeat more and more so you will be upset about it.

      But: Remember the GT4 time. There were some more tracks that were discovered after you finished some special races like the “missions” and some others, so we can just hope that GT5 has much more than 30 other tracks “inside” the game to discover.

      CaliBoy1990

      Maybe so, but there’s no way Sony couldn’t release any DLC after that………in fact, the only real opposition Kaz had was to stuff that wasn’t free, from what I can recall.

    I am somewhat disappointed. I was sure that we had seen more tracks such as Autumn Ring amongst others from previous versions that were going to be included – but I think that they have missed a trick by not including Spa – a track that is known to be one of the most challenging circuits and best loved by most racing drivers. I also wished that they had spent the time it took them to render the upscales of the 200 almost identical Sylines etc and keep it to just the best models and actually generate some more European/world cars from the current generation – perhaps current Audi S3, rs4, Alfa Mito, Giulietta cloverleaf, Punto Rally car (Kimi’s) latest M3 and M5. What about GT Class Astons DBS, DBR9, I don’ think they even got the current shape Civic or Seat touring car from BTCC and what about current GT tourers from WTCC. Car manufacturers are supposed to be struggling surely they need all the publicity they can get. This is one of the biggest franchises ever and all powerful Sony can’t even get Porsche to sign up. Now that they have Ferrari, Lambo, Merc, BMW, etc. Maybe we should all shame Porsche into joining. Are they frightened that 911 GT1/GT2/GT3 Boxster s/ Cayman won’t be good enough compared to rivals? This is GT, there has always been a mix of cars old and new, but for me this mix is getting a bit stale as there aren’t enough of the current generation of cars compared to an abundance of skylines.

      I agree…they shouldn’t have spent more time upscaling and featuring the 200+ skylines in the game… because they’re almost just the same… They should’ve featured more iconic cars such as Benz Motor Patent Wagen. And also,I don’t think the “offical track list” has all the tracks that we are expecting such as Test course,Piazza del campo etc.

      Of course, this doesn’t mean that I am going to cancel my preorder. Still hugely excited about blasting around Deep Forest in a Tuscan or Gran Turismo S. Or flying around Nordschleif in the Pug FAP. Compared to my Grande Punto 1.4 crawling in city traffic everyday, I know that this game is still going to give me the buzz that GT always has. I just wanted it to go further. I remember when we got the Audi Le Mans proto, and thought, WOW – I wonder if this is going to be made – and lo it became the R8. There just seems to be something lacking.

    Once again i am dissapointed with the cars and now the tracks! SPA would have been nice, but where’s some of the classics gone?! Luckily i’ll be on the Top Gear Test Track all the time ehh…

17. November 13th, 2010 at 3:09 am - #

    I’d rather have 500 cars and 60 tracks. 27 tracks is ephing WEAK PD! WTF

    Spaghettimonster

    i guess a lot of people said it already, but this list is disappointing. i was expecting grand canyon!!! – big time, spa!!! – very much. anyways, you probably can think of a lot others for yourself. and there is pretty much only ONE rallye track!?!?! i am getting dirt 2 today.

    honestly. this is a joke. 1000 cars and 27 tracks? i count on gt5 that the tracks that are there are simply spectacular. :))

    Was really hoping for Midfield Raceway, must say, the track list is a disappointment.
    Maybe the track editor will make up for the downfall in track selection.
