CVG has the scoop on an interesting quote Yamauchi made while talking to their sister magazine, PSM3:
“Prologue is really only a prologue. Though the look and feel of Prologue and the full version will have uniformity, the full version will be totally different in terms of scale and diversity in comparison.”
Of course, with a rumored 1,000 cars compared to Prologue’s 70, that’s a very easy statement to make! Regardless, anyone who played the GT Academy Time Trial Demo could already tell you that quite a bit has also changed under the hood in the two years since Prologue’s release. We know it’s going to be big and we know it’s going to be fun, but the question still remains: when?
Ive pre-ordered gt5 a while ago and every day i ask my gf ‘any word of my game’..am i addicted to gran turismo? PD doesnt realise what they are putting us all through
“Prologue is really only a prologue. Though the look and feel of Prologue and the full version will have uniformity, the full version will be totally different in terms of scale and diversity in comparison.”
That sounds very bad to my ears. I happen to beleive that Prologue and the GTAcademy demos were inferior to FM3 in terms of physics, way behind in fact.
Diversity is cool, but that physic engine feels dry right now and if they don’t tweek it enough, I’ll have to stay with the dark side for a good while.
But I still have hope…
sorry for the spelling mistake.
@turbo_3800,i see where you’re coming from but i am not that skilled in the race department,probably not as you are,but if it is a demo,i don’t think it is,to me,a demo only has a track and 3 cars,and i thought demos were usually very small,prologue must be half-demo,half-full game,it would have been a lot better to just do gt4 HD with some extra cars,which is brobably what gt5 will be basically.
82 comments for one interview-sentence. You don´t have anything to do in your freetime, aren´t you?
Next new set of news
“GRAN TURISMO 5 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN PROLOGUE, TO BE CALLED, GRAN TURISMO 5, AND NOT GRAN TURISMO PROLOGUE”
That’s of course “I bet” – sorry
I net, most of us do this occasionally, because Prologue with it’s five tracks just isn’t enough.
And yes, I love the backfire, PD – please don’t change it !!

I was concerned I might be getting a bit rusty with the Nurburgring. My slimline no longer runs PS2 software…..
… I had to get my PS2 out of the loft to run GT4 as a Nurburgring refresher….
Why am I having to play my dusty old PS2 in the year 2010… why PD?
(although the backfires between gear changes are quite enjoyable again!)
dude u have to love the bacfire.. too bad things lie this dont matter to pd….
a release date would be nice! Having bought all the cars on gt5p and making steady progress on gtpsp i am really getting ready to burn rubber! (i’ll probably have 1000 cars ready to race before gt5 is released!)

@Warden
I totally agree, I’d have them cut half of that amount for engine sounds as good as Forza 3.
EDIT: insert “the”.
We don’t even know announcement date when they will tell us the release date.
bottom line- We need a release date.. A REAL ONE—
Woooww, i came on GTplanet and was OOOoOoO new news! Ah well, at least it IS an update of some form.
Also, on a more positive note, i have been there in that picture! :D Tis the tomb of the unknown soldier and the coliseum is just down the road ;)
THE NEWEST MIMAXIMAX VIDEO!!!!!http://www.youtube.com/user/mimaximax#p/a/u/0/XIeageKCVpM
its the G37 Tuned car that won at SEMA. PLEASE read hes comments, he explains the sound and the music
@warden – You’re absolutely right with that. But this goes for all similar games, I guess.
Btw: My GT4-garage is stuffed with more than 800 cars, and yes – less than 50 favorites
We need a new trailer and the release date, NOW!!!
after playing prologue and the time trial demo, i’m still not convinced we’re in for anything that great, yes it does have 1000 cars but MOST people will probably only want to drive maybe 50 of them. Quanity often more than not means less Quality.
“I just hope the game is 95% bug free by the time it comes out, unlike the rest of the latest games so far…”
+1
Lol @ TS
I just hope they release it before 2011. Fingers crossed
It already is totally different. Prologue exists; GT5 does not.
but but he needs more time for this game .. sarcasm
@ AMG, I agree with everything but the addition of move. As sony said themselves they tested all genres and found that it worked on pretty much all of them other than racing games, but they said that they already have controllers for that anyway (i.e steering wheels) =]. But move will be fun none the less ^^.
I just hope the game is 95% bug free by the time it comes out, unlike the rest of the latest games so far… Also they have to be careful with their servers and update them unlike EA and BFBC2..(epic fail where they had 400% more people buy it and the servers couldn’t cope and decided to fail…)
he means gt5 will be better in everything then gt5p , gt5 cars with 500k , better ligthing , more tracks with better textures , night rain on every track , full damage , full tunning ,full online, 3d, move , and unseen features
Tomorrow KY will confirm that GT5 is a cars game….
@TokyoDrift – Reading all the posts over the past few weeks makes it obvious, some people really do need a slap on their head, because too many of them still think they see anything like the final product in the vids shown here.
@Prazza of course GT5P had “too few cars” and a hand full of tracks simply cause it was a small part of the game showing us what we can expect from the game, it’s what we call a “demo” lol. IMO the money wasn’t hard to get cause the events were easy, it just took longer to buy cars cause the events didn’t give out large amounts for winning. I’m not bashing you dude so don’t take this paragraph the worng way lol. When GT5 finally arrives ppl are onna be very much satisfied and if there are still ppl whining about something missing in the game about something small, then they shouldn’t be having the game.
“prologue is only a prologue.”
Nooooo! Really???
Why has this only just made the news page? We’ve already heard the quote along the lines of “similar in looks but totally different in scale and diversity”. Well DUH! Of course it’s going to look similar, but with approx. 1000 cars and 70 “tracks”, including WRC, NASCAR etc., the scale and diversity is obviously far greater. It doesn’t take a quote or scoop to know that.
i started playing gt series from year 97 when i had shiny black hair on my head and now half of my hair gone with the wind and turned grey but stil enjoying playing gt5p and i’m sure most of you gt fans are in the age of my children so stop complaining .i should get noble prize for my pataince
Totally different?
gran turismo 5 – first person shooter ?
how different can you get?
Yes the question is when ?? Could we ask Yamauchi in an exclusive interview ?? Would be nice :)
Thought that comment looked familiar!!!! I did read it in this months PSW 3 mag!!
Nothing new then to be honest. Well at the end of the day my money is for a worlwide release somewhen in October!!!
I agree with the ppl here, E3 June for release date bombshell when Mr. Yamauchi leaves the stage we are either going to get drunk with happiness or go to bed crying…
Wow! So the new mag will have a few pages on GT5? I can’t wait to read it, thanks Jordan & GTP.net! If I had to rely on magazines or go to the store to find out release-dates like the old days I would go crazy. I second the vote for the Hennesey venom gt.
THE ANSWER: Christmas 2010. Period.
Just more “blah blah BS” crap spewing from another nobody’s mouth.
the only thing anyone wants to hear is a release date, the rest is sheer and utter crap
“totally different in terms of scale and diversity in comparison.”
Isn’t that kind of a given?
I think, people can’t imagine, HOW DIFFERENT GT5 will be compared to GT5P. Guess, it really pushes the PS3’s capabilities to it’s limits ! In my opinion, Prologue will look like the Prologue of the Prologue, when we have the final product
There is definitely going to be a multitude of stupid kids playing this game judging from all the “I want this game now” comments, I hope for the online component that you can swiftly kick and ban people.
all I can say is after so many years it ought to be alot different to Prologue or it will be egg on their faces
Prologue was released in Japan on the 13th of December in 2007. I would def hope a new release would be a bit different from a 3 year old game! :D

Of course it’s going to be different.
Prologue was actually released.
Hahaha! So true, awesome, yet sad comment >,< GT5 is pretty much starting to look lie that Duke Nukem Forever game that was gonna "be released soon" for 10 years
Judging by that picture and the other one with the jet in it, maybe GT5 will be:
The Real Flight Simulator
Of course it’s going to be different.
Prologue was actually released.
please have the hennesey venom gt in the game. That has become my favourite looking car at the mo.
To those of you asking where you can see a larger version of the screenshot above, you can get it here.
The question is indeed when. The problem is when they do eventually give us a release date I for one will not believe them.
i’m glad it will be totally different from prologue because prologue was shocking,too few cars,money too hard to get,tracks too dull (don’t argue,hsr is too dull and generic,suzuka and fuji are boring after a while,also generic,daytona is just turning left,the road course is devoid of originality,eiger nordwand is an exception,as it has superb scenery and i love that jump,and getting up the swiss noses for driving like a loon in their eco-mad country,but london is a bit simplistic and a missed opportunity,i’m fom england i KNOW how to create a london street circuit,they should employ me,either way,gt5 will be ace,now give us a release date of october 1st or earlier and i’ll be as happy as a rookie who’s just won his first race. :)
If they don’t announce a release date along with a fancy trailer at E3 then I don’t know anymore.
Well, this is exactly why all of us are here…to get a new tidbit for when we are going to find out what person is going to tell us when is it finally coming out. This has gotten beyond the point of ridiculousness!!!! Im betting its going to Kaz anddddd he wont tell until E3 2010. If he cant tell us by June…its going to be a 2011 release. Hell, the Americans may have to wait even longer if it doesnt release simultaneous to all countries.
Seriously , I really wish there wasnt so much mama drama about it. Why cant they be like real men and give us a real date that they swear to the almighty gods its coming out on that date and DELIVER. I swear if I didnt love the game so damn much, it wouldnt be worth it. I wouldnt put my worst enemy through this, ya know?
The way it looks is they will end up announcing a north american release date at the E3 show in june, i sure hope so since yamauchi says that GT5 is 90% complete.
Ive made this post MAGIC!!!
We are one day closer to the game being released.
Read it tomorrow and it works again and the next day and the next and the….
So he is saying the full version will have more options, cars, tracks, etc. That is breaking news!
Yamauchi to English translator working **********
“We don’t have a release date. Sony have got us by the balls and are stalling this game so that PS3 sales will continue in anticipation. They are also want to release Premium PSN and their shoddy 3D TV’s alongside this title. As far as release date goes; not for a long while yet”
1000 cars…. ok but please!!!! not the same GT4/GTPSP roster: same cars/different manufacturer or 40 of same models… LOL!
We want updated 2008-10 models for all brands!!! and sometimes: less is BETTER.
“Prologue is really only a prologue.”
Wow, thanks for clearing that up! :P
sony let them realise it already
They are giving us news like bird drops…. one by one … starting with the most obvious… but i guess we have to understand them… telling everyone what to expect now, will spoil their efforts… They have taken so much time to come to this point… certainly dont want any other game developer to catch whatever ideas PD will (if ever) offer… If PD/Sony told us everything, by the time GT5 comes, NFS, FM, and Gotham will release the same idea under 6 months.! ;)
As Jordan said it, the question remains; When?
Nice SO……… WHEN IS THE GAME COMING…. OR should i buy an Xbox360 and wait for Forza4?!?
When is what matters, can’t wait for this. I should be livid for buying a 80gb PS3 for $400 and a Logitec G25 for $350 two years ago just to get GT5.
Take a look the picture from Rome! The background seems to be like google map.
sure it will!
Last comment true, some new better then non but this is just obvious anyone with a brain knows this. WE WANT THE GAME NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I’m curious to this “diversity difference” but then again with the full game of course there will be more cars and more tracks along with other features in the game so that would make the diversity grow. So I guess this isn’t really entertaining news lol. It’s still good to see somekind of news about the game though, rather than not get anything.
I can’t wait to see for myself!!
It’s the day my life outsite of GT5 ends.
Jordan, can u send me the link of the picture please?
yah….cry me a river…
Yeah? Prove it, PD! Prove it now. Let’s see it.
Blah, blah, blah. We can release it at any time we wish. Blah, blah, blah.
Ground breaking statement.
Thank you for sharing the obvious Kaz.
Like you say, pretty easy statement to make. Prologue has a small selection of events and progress is linear, even if GT5 is like GT4 it will make it totally different so I don’t see how that tells us anything we didn’t know already.
GT5 will bla bla bla bla bla bla
im still waiting..
Hmm GT5:P didn’t have skidmarks or reverse lights, Kaz is dropping these hints all the time ;)
well, yes, the full game being different to the demo is the general idea…
i thought the layout of prologue was just fine(only needed gt mode) but moving that to the final version sounds great … awesome work pd
@Magicalgin No its not.
This is basically saying “GT Prologue is a demo and the full game wont be”. It reminds me of the Big Train sketch where the office manager distracts the disgruntled employees with stupid games/tricks etc
I do hope at the start of summer ’10… If they release it in october, im not buying it, due to my uni studies starting then.. Not a time to play games.
@ ismellbacon & pasigiri, grow up.
———————————–
This news isn’t really news is it?
waiting for E3 to know the answer
stop playing with my heart Kaz and just release the game :(
dang it!!!!! ismellbacon611 was first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, when??? Maybe, around the same time GT3 was released? 3D TVs will be out then.
FIRST
