I believe it to be 2 discs and a large manual:

Disc 1: Gran Turismo 5 Game and entire contents.
Disc 2: The making of GT5 and Bonus HD content.
Manual- A very large manual, for a very large game.:D:tup:

Could it be that the 3 disk are dvd's instead of bluray because of their slow access time? Even the GT5prologue blu disk had to install to the hd. From what I understood it was because of disk access speed.

I'd rather have an install than disc swaps.

I just watch the picture in detail and could notice than only the first box has the GT5 logo, so I think is:

Disc 1: The game
Disc 2: Digital car's manual with the specs about everycar in the game, NASCAR and WRC pilots' bios and GT Museum
Disc 3: Behind the scenes about the GT5 Development

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OMGGGGGGGGGGG

I have not needed many things in my life as much as I need GT5...
 
One thing I noticed is that if you look closely on the side view, only ONE of the boxes has the text on the side of the box. the rest are just blank. I have a feeling that that version of the game is just a collecters edition, not the entire game on 2 or 3 disks.

I read a news report somewhere that the game will be on only 1 disc. I wish I knew where I saw it.

Anyone who thinks GT5 will be on more than a single disc is uninformed, even if Polyphony never confirmed that it will be on only one disc.
 
Blue: Gran Turismo Mode, cars are unlocked, GTTV is accesible, etc.

Red: In depth Arcade mode, GTTV also available, replay theatre, online lobbies and rooms etc.

Black: Garage mode where cars are modified? As well as bonus content, explaining why GT5 took so damned long.




Orrr Orrr Orrrrrrrrrrr. What we saw was purely promotional material... Had to be said.

How awesome would it be if they put the original GT1 on one of the blu-ray discs (perhaps into a special edition), and made it compatible with the PS3? Porting the game would probably be too much work though ha

You can play the original GT on your PS3. I have and it's really not worth it.

You read a news report?! Like that's concrete evidence!

Anyway, regardless, the game itself will ship on one Blu-ray, dual layer 50GB. This is logical fact. You can debate the other two, sure, and I'm going with the "Making of and HD bonus content" on one and a "hefty manual" as the other.
 
THing is the PS3 "emulators" dont enhance the game as much as PC emulators, playing GT2 on pc is like playing a primitive GT3 rather than an updated GT1.

Id like to see a complete History of GT Blu Ray, full HD, 2 hours or so long, fully detailing the years 1992 to 2009, pics of the old offices, aging faces all that.
 
If only 2 discs were packaged, I think we'd clearly be seeing one for the game and the other for bonus footage or something similar. But 3 Blu Ray discs is entirely different. This leaves 2 separate Blu Ray discs for something else.

Note: Why not just use a DVD? Must it just be too big for a DVD?
 
blue disc to be Arcade mode, including drift and online modes. Your car garage and settings will obviously need to be stored on the hard drive... ala GT2.

red disc to be the full on GT mode.... FTW! :drool:

Perhaps... one of the discs is an actual GT museum... where you can view cars, open doors, explore engines and suspension, you know, blow them apart so to speak? Also, tell you about the models etc. I think it was GT2, it had the car manufactuers history scrolling along the bottom when you went to that dealership, and then you had a car info button which told you about the car... maybe? Perhaps also, the manual is actually on a disc with the museum, so this would be the black disc's contents.

There's no need to emulate anything. Why not just recreate each previous GT game within GT5 using GT5 assets? It would need every car and track that's ever been in a GT game, so it won't happen, but if it did, GT5 could just ask you to insert the real GT1,2, 3 or 4 disc to check that it's an original and then unlock the relevant GT mode within GT5.

That would be epic! Could you imagine the prices GT1, GT2, GT3 and GT4 would go for on ebay? GT1 = £50.00 haha :sly:

The speed is the same as a dual layer DVD. The reason for game installs is because the amount of data that has to be loaded is so much greater on PS3. Even Forza 2 gives you the option to install the game on the 360 hard drive to speed up load times.

As for Arcade Mode on a separate disc, forget that. A second Blu-ray will be for video content and extra goodies. The third box, who knows? A manual/art book? Music CDs? It'll be a nice package, whatever it is, if this is what we get. And as long as GT5 has taken, I don't doubt a special package is coming.
 
I'm no game programming expert but....

GT5 doesn't get released until next March, right? In which case, it would be strange for the finished product to be doing the rounds already.

Assuming that the game is still in its developmental stages, it doesn't seem implausible to me that the game might span 2 or even 3 discs at this stage. Surely, before a game is released a considerable amount of time is spent getting all of the features to work in harmony. Furthermore, I would imagine that the game's data is compressed.

I'm sure that PD still has a lot of work to do before GT5 is ready for the public. For promotional purposes such as the SLK video in question there is no reason why PD would have to fit the whole game onto one disc.

At the end of the day though, we are all just guessing. And if that helps make the waiting time go quicker, then that's fine by me!
 
Blue Disk: Gran Turismo Mode

Red Disk: Arcade Mode

Black Disk: My Little Pony - The Quest For The Golden Horseshoe

Yes there is - for one simple fact. There is no need to span discs. The game, including all of its data and modes will fit on one 50B Blu-ray. If it doesn't, I will buy one member here a copy of the game if they give me a good enough reason.
 
My assumption are:

Black Disc: Gran Turismo 5 Full game

Blue Disc: The making of Gran Turismo

Red Manual: Should be a comprehensive manual of Gran Turismo instead of a disc.
 
Is not too early for thinking in the game packaging?

Well, I just hope they give us an extra disk with a really extensive making of, with all the development information and material they think is right to show to their fans:

My assumption:

Blue Disk: Gran Turismo Mode

Red Disk: Arcade Mode

Black Disk: Online

If this turns out to be the way I think it will be we'll have a massive amount of content! I now understand what KY meant when he said the size of GT5 is dizzying!

I think you've misunderstood. I agree that if you're selling to the public, then fitting it all on one disc is important.

However, in the development stages I don't think it's important. 50gb is not really that big. Hell, I filled 50gb of my hard drive within a few days of buying my pc.

o_0 blue pill...red pill...

150gb? 3bd ($$$)? Yeah right...
or do you mean dvds? No way ps3 games will ship with that support...

Could you people please stop with these stupid assumptions? No matter what you say there's NO way they're going to put different game modes on different discs, and what for? We're not in 1999 anymore. 50GB of content in ONE blu-ray disc is more than enough. I think you don't realize the amount of data you can put in there.
Plus, how many GB you think GT5 requires to install on your ps3? Do you think people will go buy a new hdd just for a game (well actually some will have to for FM3, lol...but that's another story)
