Yamauchi is a big apple fan.

Really? Although it's plausible they got apple to right some data software, I would of thought there were better free alternatives. However if they wanted specific software quickly then maybe employing apple was a good idea. They wouldn't of gone with microsoft and open office would mean they would need to get it to work themselves.

i guess it's just his personal taste, and got no impact on the development of gran turismo, since the developer tools are all from sony (or should be).

i've read in interviews, somewhere, sometimes, that he is an apple fan – i was just guessing for the sake of the icon origin. to back up my claim, google "kazunori yamauchi office":

Powermac G4 Quicksilver, Apple Displays, Apple iSub Soundsystem

Apple Display, Powermac G5, and right behind him is the frame of a Powerbook G4 (tough call, but i owned one for four years and i'm betting it's one)

not yamauchi's office, but there's a pile of apple packaging in this pic.

i don't believe the feature illustrated in the screenshot got anything to do with apple or any apple product/technology. what probably happened was something like this:

programmer: "we have feature x ready, and need an icon to implement it into the menu, but the user interface guy/department says they're busy/on holiday/at the bar. what should we do?"
kaz: sighs, opens a new window on his mac, navigates to the application folder since there are lot's of different icons, finally points on apple works "just use this until the user interface guys are avaible/back from hokkaido/sober."
 
They DO say that, "There is an 'app' for everything."

I believe that GT5 will have some sort of app for times, chat, texts, pics.....something.

:lol:

By the way, your knowledge of Apple products is a bit scary! :scared:
 
Would be nice with a mini-version of Final Cut Studio.
I would rather have that then a livery-editor..

Just imagine the replays people would produce if we actually had a video-editing tool.

I definitely wouldn't count out some type of replay editing, imo it's more than likely although it may not be video editing, maybe edited using replay data and then rendering a video of the final edit.

The really cool videos will always be produced by peeps running the whole thing through Adobe anyway. It's like Asimov's first law of video game replays or something.

Personally I'd plump for the livery editor if it was a choice of either or.

One does not preclude the other, I think they'd actually go pretty well together.
 
Well they have to use mac so people don't hack their files am I right.
I wonder what else they got up their sleeve.
 
arrgghh, the thought of Steve Jobs becoming part of the PD product is a scary thought. I would be out for blood if GT5 became an ipad exclusive!
 
I remember an emulator program that allowed to play Sony software on Macs many years ago, I can see why it would make sense.
