Inside Polyphony Digital: A Photo Tour
It’s always interesting to take a peek inside Polyphony Digital‘s studios – a modern space packed full of computers, PS3′s, model cars, and Japanese toys. While we wait for the interviews from GamesBlog and GameSpot, take a look at some of the pictures from they’ve already started sharing. Be sure and watch for the iconic Ferrari 330 P4 getting its interior modeled, along with some interesting track-side elements, curiously blocky screens of Gran Turismo 5, and a talking George W. Bush figurine (?). What else can you find hiding in the background? Take a look at our full gallery of 111 images right here.

@Napoleon_1st
sorry for taking so long to reply, I haven’t seen any of the ads for gt5 Europe, if you could send me some links, that’d be cool, that’s pretty interesting

The Indianapolis motor speedway sticker is on there…
See > http://www.pacificcoastracing.com/i//IMS_decal.JPGAh and the link I posted to the Valencia circuit broke, so here’s another…

It is possible that PD staff may have visited the tracks on the stickers at some point. Judging by how old & battered the case looks, they’re just as likely to have been collected pre-GT4 as they are from any trip(s) over the past 5 years…
It is fun to speculate though, isn’t it? :-)

Green Hell at night!?!?! They probably just did that to grind out the damage modeling. I wouldn’t last 5 turns at night on the Ring.

Yes, Valencia is there. Still I would not overinterpret those pictures. Could be old, could be only stickers, but could also be an indicator. Let’s hope and see. I would LOVE to see the Singapore Night Track in GT5, but I have no hopes for that. But if, the setting would be great and it would not need headlights.

Check out the stickers on the case…

* Laguna Seca.
* Nurburgring.
* Spa-Francorchamps.What are the rest? Looks like that’s possibly Monza in the white there with the red text and blue border…

Seriously, Kaz is a strange guy :)
I am not that confident that we will see Monza and Spa. Those were only stickers. I only believe it when I see ingame footage. -

Interesting to see that there is only 1 wheel in the these photos, being the Logitech GT thingy. Limitations of this device: 1) not 900 deg rotation, 2) no clutch & 3) no H-pattern shifter. I do hope PD have not neglected their steering lock and manual clutch simulations.

I knew I should be working there! Lots of cutie working at polyphony too :-D

Didn’t see any spectators around the Nürburgring. What’s the problem with that ? There’s like 250.000 around the track during the 24h-race every year, so I want to see, let’s say 5000 ?!?
