GTPlanet at GT5′s Madrid Launch Event, Yamauchi Q&A

Gran Turismo 5 Site Announcements November 22nd, 2010 by Jordan

I’m very excited to announce that I will be personally attending the Gran Turismo 5 Launch Party in Madrid, Spain, this Wednesday, November 24th! Sony has been keeping very close wraps on what’s in store for the event, but it’s definitely going to be very big, and very special… It’s more than just a party, and should be a real treat for all automotive enthusiasts and the general public – be sure and stop by if you’re in the area.

On Thursday, I will also be participating in Kazunori Yamauchi’s first post-GT5 question & answer session, and I’ll be meeting up with original GT Academy winner (and GTPlanet-backed racer) Lucas Ordoñez as well.

As always, the blog here will be updated throughout my trip, and I’ll be posting live updates from the party and the Q&A session on Twitter and Facebook. If there’s anything in particular that you’d like for me to ask Kazunori or Lucas, leave a note in the comments below. See you in Spain!

Important questions.
1. Why there is so many repeated model same cars?
2. Why dont we have all original track?
3. Is there going to be DLC if any?
4. The Bugs, glitches on GT5 are they going to get fixed?
5. Porsche Have been winning world wide, it is the most used Motor-sport automobile in the world today. When are we going to have in the GT series? Stupid EA

1) The game will have any DLC? When will they´ll start to be available?

2)Will there be an update for rims on standard cars?

3)Will there be a patch to improve the framerate and decrease tearing, slowdowns and those shadows glitches?

Have fun Jordan! Thanks!

You should ask him if he finds it insulting that forza gets comparied to his product. And also if a air tunnel will be a viable option for dlc so we can use it with the data logger and improve times.

dude

tell him that it’s annoying you have to wait so long until you can retry if your trying to get gold in a license mission and you repeat alot of times in a row

then ask him about a professional track editor and what happend to hockenheim !

(and why is the online mode not working yet ? ;-) )

1. (not the only one asking) Any DLC and when?
2. Reaction to the leaks?
3. Would the game ever be PlayStation Move compatible in sense you would steer like you do with Wii remote in Mario Kart? (for those who simply cant afford a $200 racing wheel/no room for it, which is my case -_-)

Thats it =)

I just found about this site not too long ago, and Im very impressed with it! thanks Jordan and others for the good work =D

Hi Jordan, maybe it would be nice if you could ask Kaz about whether we will see scratch paint in the damage system. Cause i’ve been looking the images and video of the damage model system and i couldn’t see clearly whether the paint scratches or not. So far only body panel deformation shown.
Thank you

Im not sure if you fixed it yourself, or My computer was just acting funny, but I can comment now jordan,

So If you can consider it, my question is whether or not they will ever incorporate a reasonably priced car (Via DLC).

Thanks, Good luck!

Questions for Kaz:
1) Will there be any DLC?
2) If the answer to Question 1 is “yes,” will there be more NASCAR cars and/or tracks? How about more tracks from past GTs (e.g. Apricot Hill, Motegi, Midfield Raceway, Test Course, Red Rock Valley)?
3) How close to your vision of GT6 is GT5?
4) Have you considered IndyCar cars and tracks (other than IMS) for GT5 DLC/GT6?
5) Do the WRC and NASCAR licenses extend to historic cars from those series?

Have fun Jordan!

I give it 2 years before GT6 gets a release.

Also what were the reasons for the Porsche debacle?

Unless any coverage begins before 12:00 AM EST, then I doubt I’ll see much of this coverage!

I would love to ask kaz who his favourite member of staff would be and who is his successor. Who motivates him tremendously?

Peace out and how many hours to go before the ‘baby’ arrives fellow gtplaneteers?!

Well done on finishing the game, i’m sure it will be great…

I realise its not the best situation to be put into, with regards to asking questions to Kazunori that put the game in a low light, But these are obviously issue’s that a lot of members feel strongly about.

My question is pretty much as others have pointed out..

1. Will there be any plans for future DLC (with regards to tracks/ views/ cars/ sounds/ Safety car/ Flag system)?
2. Does he have a view on Patch advertising (In tracks for online racing) in order to keep DLC cheap or Free?
3. How long does he expect GT6 will take to build and will it most likely be a PS3 or PS4 title?

And I’d also like to point out that, these are my views and I have a right to express them on this website/forum as I see fit, And would prefer not to be called a whinging wally/moaning minnie or whatever it was!

Ask, why haven’t they implemented a g25 or g27 functionality individually within the game. Those wheels always have to use another wheel’s setup in the game, and i just don’t like pressing triangle at the start of every race to get the clutch to work.

  have you tried the full game? my assumption is no… In the time trial demo waay back in january, when the g27 was new, it was fully compatible. why in the hell would it not be compatible with the full game? Just think for a seccond…. prologue is almost 3yrs old now! (i dont mean to sound rude)
  btw, i hope they make the clutch more realistic with the new physics engine. the one in prologue fully engaged the clutch when engine speeds were matched with the car, so it is quite difficult to slip the clutch while moving off.

If we can expect DLC , why no Spa , what’s in store for GT6 (more important is WHEN) , take a pic of translator-san , Kaz and yourself together. :-)

  Congrats Jordan, thx for making the wait bearable!
  
  KAZ: In Gran Turismo 6 will we see a car list which better represents North American and European cars?

  @WTFnews : Jordan doesn’t need to ask that, we know why = Porsche’s exclusivity contract with EA Games
