New Gran Turismo 5 “PS Move” Rumors Emerge

Gran Turismo 5 May 24th, 2010 by Jordan

Gaming business news site MCV is claiming to have received word from a “source close to Sony” that Gran Turismo 5′s implementation of 3D technology and support for the new PlayStation Move controller are the reasons for the game’s extended development time. While 3D support has already been confirmed, until now PS Move rumors had been fueled by nothing more than some extremely vague statements by Kazunori Yamauchi early last month to gaming magazine PSM3:

“We’re always attuned to new technologies. If there are display devices or peripherals that seem interesting, I’m sure we’ll work to support them.”

I didn’t give those comments much weight when they came around the first time, but if MCV’s source is correct, there may indeed be something in the works. With just 22 days now until E3 kickoff, hopefully we won’t have to wait much longer to find out exactly what that is…  Thanks to DonZonda for the tip!

    Way to go Sony! Great marketing scheme there!

    And the award for most irony in a PS3 Move rumor thread goes to….

    Dustyr, for a wonderful rendition of the classic oratory: “Complaints We’ve Allready Heard about Other People’s Complaining.”

    Congrats!

    @ Adrian
    I have a G25, and have had about 6 other wheels in the past- I used to use them for mainly PC so I got a solid PC desk and hooked the wheel right to that. The desk was right in front of a wall so the pedals could be braced to be very solid with some pieces of wood or a couple bricks set up against the wall and the pedals set against that. The pedals didn’t move. Now I have moved. I have my 52″ TV on a dresser that stands about 30″ tall.. In front of that I have a small table with my G25 mounted. The table is 30″ wide, 28″ tall, and 18″ deep. The table was shorter, but I made it taller with some bricks under the feet. The table is about 20″ away from the dresser the TV is on. I have the shifter also mounted to the table and the pedals underneath. I have some peices of wood in front of the pedals that equal about 16″ so the pedals, with the wood and carpet grabbers- are solid and they do not move. **Important**—> I have a 28 pound weight sitting on the center of this small table right in front of the G25, this makes the whole settup extremely solid. The table doesn’t move when the forcefeedback jerks against the table.. Without that weight it would be unstable.. I use a comfortable kitchen chair with armrests for stability- a computer or office chair with wheels would work, but you’d have to use something to keep it from swivelling and rolling. This table/chair setup was basically free (already had the stuff), and it works perfectly- probably better than some cheap racing seats. If you didn’t have a table lying around with those dimensions, you could easily make one for next to nothing.. If you race in a livingroom or something it wouldn’t be hard to put the table away in a different room and set it up quickly for racing. If you don’t want to or can’t spend the cash on a dedicated racing seat- make one from stuff around your house. You’ll get the same affect without spending the $$.

    Sept 24 2010 will be the release date. If you don’t want move don’t buy it. If you want to cry still about gt5 not being in your hands then you go make you own real driving sim and when it’s not out in 5 years then we can all bitch about you on a fourm.

    All I am saying is say something new or don’t say anything at all because no one cares if you are unhappy that there is nothing going on in your life so gt5 has to fill the large void that NORMAL PEOPLE do not have.

    I’m hesitant to get a wheel because my place doesn’t have that much room. Can you describe a little of your set up? My idea is that each time I want to play gt5, I’ll have to go get the wheel, set it up, move furniture, etc. I’d love to get a vision racer, but at $1000 I’m happy to sit with a controller for now. What do you do?

    Okay, a little off-topic here, but when we’re talking about wheels:

    I couldn’t agree more. A steering wheel is NECESSARY for really feeling the game. Basically, everyone who’s a fan of GT should get a steering wheel for GT5.

    And the Driving Force GT isn’t all that. You should instead pay that little extra and then go for the Logitech G25 or G27 (much the same, except the G27 is newer and a bit better, so you should be able to get the G25 a bit cheaper). I’ve owned a Logitech G25 for 1½ years and it’s been a pleasure driving with it, though I mostly use it to race PC sims like iRacing, rFactor and GTR2.

    ^^ @ ElieTheBear

    I would like to get a wheel; but at this rate, i’m scared the Driving Force GT will be obsolete by the time GT5 launched! ;-)

    @ Urielxx
    I also played GT 1 2 3 and 4 with a controller… I just got the driving force gt steering wheel… and GT5 Prologue… and I am ashamed for having played GT series without a wheel… Now it is like I am playing GT 23… so for everybody that play GT with a controller go get a wheel it is day and night gameplay ….priceless!!

    And another statement from an “insider”…..useless imo.
    Not that i critisize insiders but after so many years of waiting they (Polyphony, Sony) should just bring out some real facts and trustfull information to their fans.
    The problem isn’t waiting, it is the very bad way of spreading information about GT5 over the last years like “we can release it anytime…”, “it arrives sooner then you thought..” or “GT5 will come shortly after GTpsp”. Also the “facts” which turned out to be a mistranslation. It is almost ridiculous and it is a shame! What else should people think than “Seems like another Duke Nukem Forever”. It is almost impossible to trust any information about GT5 until you hold it in your hands. I know GT5 is going to be awesome i know Polyphony is doing a superb job but imo they destroy a lot whith these “half-baked” facts/information and i dont know why they let all this happen.

    looking forward to E3…greetz

    Would be a potentially good way to interact with a track editor function.

    Don’t understand why the game needs to be delayed this long if all it’s about now is the 3D technology and the playstation move controller. Why not release the game now and then release a patch to support the playstation move as a free patch?
