Gran Turismo 5 TGS 2010 Breakout Session: Full Details
Here’s a quick overview of what’s been discussed in the TGS 2010 GT5 breakout session:
- Laguna Seca has been completely rebuilt and will return for GT5. Trial Mountain has also been confirmed.
- “Gran Turismo Anywhere” will allow you to manage B-Spec races, right from your computer. You’ll be able to hold B-Spec races with your friends from anywhere in what are called “Remote Races”.
- GT5 will feature a series of special events such as the Karting Experience, the AMG driving school, The Stig Challenge, Jeff Gordon NASCAR School, Sebastien Loeb Rally Challenge, and Gran Turismo Rally.
- Point-to-point rally stages will be automatically and randomly generated – you’ll have to depend on your co-driver to give you the best instructions about the road ahead.
- Rally mode can be played either on or offline.
- Weather changes include temperature differences, air pressure changes, and humidity, affecting the surface conditions of the track dynamically.
- Weather conditions are randomized. Forecasts for your race will be available but may not be entirely accurate, just like the real world.
- Polyphony Digital has helped Red Bull Racing’s Adrian Newey design the X1 Concept – an “ultimate” racing car, free of any technical regulations.
- Polyphony Digital has worked to improve engine sounds.
- Yamauchi admits that, in certain situations – such as standing race starts in the rain with 15 other cars on the screen kicking up spray in front of you – the game may not be able to hold 60FPS. Otherwise, it will strive to hold 60FPS as often as possible.
- The Volkswagen Kubelwagen, which has a drive system like the first beetle, and the amphibious Volkswagen Schwimmwagen will be in the game.
- Many things didn’t make the cut in Gran Turismo 5, and work on Gran Turismo 6 has already begun.
This post will continue to be updated as more information is released.

@BWX – agree, this is a fresh architecture build powering all these new enhancements. PD’s surely future proofed it to be scalable for processing upgrades to new hardware and their own ongoing programs of work.
Plus if there smart with the rollout campaign (and I’m sure they are) I reckon there’s sill a couple of headliners we haven’t seen yet… -

(any one can comment back) I hope when they say they are going to work on cars sounds that include the roaring V8, turbo blow off valves, the real lambo sound, turbo spooling, ect Its amazing how they didnt put blow off valve on the suburu when its turbo. It has to have some type of release…

I test drove a WRX the other day- the 265HP Turbo.. No BOV sound.

Ok I understand what you mean but, WHEN you DO add a bov and or tune your car in GT5 i hope PD lets you choose a manufactured BOV (All of them have different sounds), but i know im getting ahead of myself….Unfortunately.. But just to let you know alot of cars that come turbo do come with a OEM stock blow of valve.

I’ll go point-by-point here…
* Great to see Laguna Seca and Trial Mountain return.
* The Special Events will be plenty fun. While I love The Stig, I think I’m going to get dominated by him in this challenge.
* The point-to-point rally notion is pretty amazing. Maybe this will give us rally types something to really be excited about.
* Weather being accurate or inaccurate, while it sounds unfair, is actually pretty realistic. I’m reminded of “Le Mans 24 Hours” when you race in the championships. You get a forecast that may say that it will be dry, but may end up with a thunderstorm passing by (which is why I ALWAYS race on Intermediate tires in that game’s championships).
* I am extremely interested to see how that X1 Concept fares. This may be the weirdest concept car in GT5, much like how the Nike Concept Car in GT4 was the most unique concept car in that game.
* GT6 already? Probably means GT5 is as complete as complete can be. We’ll eventually be the primary judges to see if GT5 is a brand-new GT or a GT 4.75.Haven’t lost my excitement for this title even after all the years that has gone into making this game. GREAT stuff.

“We’ll eventually be the primary judges to see if GT5 is a brand-new GT or a GT 4.75.”
GT5 IS a whole new GT. It is running on a new physics ang graphics engine. Just because they brought over 800 models from GT4 doesn’t make it “GT4.5″ or whatever. If anything GT6 will be more like GT5.5, but it will be more evolution than revolution. GT5 compared to GT4 is a revolution. See?

Well, yeah… but you know there will be those who’ll be real critical of GT games. GT4 had its shortcomings, but even I thought GT4 was worlds different from GT3. There’s almost no question GT5 will really be an evolution from Gran Turismos past. I just said what I said earlier for the skeptics out there.

GT 4.75? You are kidding. There are so many new features and a complete new game engine, that it has passed GT4.

It’s confirmed to be in. We saw the Enzo race on it for a short bit in the Horsepower trailer. So… it’s practically confirmed to be in lol.

Jordan if PD has already started GT6. Does PD have info on the next playstation then, because i remember somewhere it said that GT6 would be on the next console and that GT5 should max out the PS3

hope its the real car sound and not an “improved” computer sound

I’ve had mine pre-ordered for awhile now, and my boss doesn’t understand why I actually am taking 2 days off (to make it a 4 day weekend) to play this thing. Fracking SICK.
Can’t wait man! The weather sounds really interesting, as does the random generated rally courses, that is realistic as heck. Just awesome; would be cool to have some sort of “sandbox” type areas to drive some of the less performance oriented cars (such as the Schwimmwagen, for example).

To put it simply, GT5 will be the greatest game ever made. Forza 4 will never come close to what we will have on November 2nd.

This, Spa, and that one Canadian circuit that Nationwide races (sorry, forget the name at the moment) and I’ll be way beyond happy.

Hihiiiiiii engine sounds updated wuuuu…screaming like a little girl hahahha :D
GTPlanet on Google+
Heh.
GT by Citroen Race Car… dunno about Jeremy Clarkson but I would definitely call that an Axe Murderer =D
X1 is sick, and I’m excited about most of these cars, but they picked some of the most random Volkswagens to make premium. HIPPIE BUS MAN.
