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:

If they do that then it will be like Christmas 10 times over for Turn 10 :lol:

If PD releases that info, then Forza IV will be out in 6 months.
 
i doubt the game will span 2 disks. 1 disk will be the main game. and who know if we will even have to install anything. honestly haven't we gotten past the whole install phase? at the very most an install could only be 7 gigs. ive never seen one past 5. the game will only be on one disk. its obviously very modular, so there would be no need for online disk, story mode disk, and arcade disk. one will be a making of, one will be the game and one will isnt a disk at all, will be filled with fun stuff, or even a music cd.
 
My theory:
All three discs are dual-layer (50GB) Blu-Rays, but three discs are necessary to contain all the content.

Black: GT5 game
Red: The Making of GT5: The Early Years.
Blue: The Making of GT5: The Later Years with special bonus featurette, A Day in the Life of Translator-san.

I even took my GT2 soundtrack CD and pulled off MP3s for GT PSP.

So, you are saying "the making of GT5: the early years" needs to be on its own BD? :lol:

You guys must want $200 game.

If they are in HD, yes. It makes complete and total (fun for joking) sense when you think about it. A movie fills a second disc with making of featurettes and they only do main production for ~90 days on average. If they include set construction stuff then maybe six months total time. GT5 is taking years. Think about how many documentary featurettes you could create about the making of.

I am not being serious at all here, but it is not beyond the realm of believability that they could make two whole BDs full of making of material.

No, but if the price met the content I would pay it.
 
Why do you guys think that they are all double layer blue-ray discs? I say the first one is an install disc, the second one is to play the game and the third one might be a regular DVD with behind the scenes stuff.
 
An idea that has probably been said has popped into my head.

Disc 1-Gran Turismo 5
Disc 2-Making of Gran Turismo 5 + A history of Polyphony Digital
Disc 3-All previous Gran Turismo's on one BluRay disc.

I know the last one is highly unlikely, but one can hope.

Why not... I never had a ps2 so no GT3/4 for me

Ya I think we can pretty much rule that one out. Maybe a museum?

It could be an extension of the car and track information database we've seen in past GTs. The RL tracks in Prologue have information videos, so extended versions of them for all RL tracks could take up a fair bit of space. Lots of hi-res pictures and historical footage of cars and classic races could take up a lot more. Probably enough to require a separate disc from the game itself.

It's probably also safe for them to include this as a second disc. If you wanted to install it to your HD that's OK but would take a lot of space, or you could access it separately.

For the moment, it looks like the black box is probably the game. The plastic of the case is clear and it has text on the spine just like any other PS3 game. The other two boxes look like probably just blank filler boxes. No text on the spines, simple white DVD cases. It's anyone's guess as to what they might be, but inferring from box colours or anything is probably foolish. Some intern probably just put some coloured paper in to make it look nice, and black, red and blue are kind of the GT colours.

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.

I guess I did! I've got 3TB of 98% full NAS sat right here (thank god I have one bay spare!), so I know how much space media and stuff can take up. However, for a game to spill over 50GB is ludicrous - especially when it is mostly data as opposed to HD video.
 
Mine does too. In arcade mode just after you select a track and event type, click on the information icon instead of starting the race/trial. Even Eiger has it since it's a real location as well.

Where?

I can't remember off the top of my head, as I haven't popped the disc in for a few months, but I know somewhere along the line you could choose it and get a little track guide video. I remember it mainly because the Daytona track started off showing some stuff in Daytona that I had visited during my last trip to Florida.

Basically, it was one of those things you did once, said it was cool, and then ignored.
 
My new take:

  1. Black Disc - Gran Turismo 5 [with all the trimmings: GT mode, Arcade mode, NASCAR, WRC, PTP, Drag Racing, Drift, etc.]
  2. Red Disc - Bonus disc featuring interviews, making of featurettes and a detailed assessment of how the game came together over the past 5 years
  3. Blue Disc - Extras. Keychain, manual possibly or some other limited edition content

The Black case is most likely the actual PS3 GT5 game, since all PS3 games have that Black cover art.

Just wondering; If there was a keychain, how many people would use it, or who would keep it like new(In a case protected by armed guards, haha), or just not care if it was there or not?

Not all games have a black cover art. For example, DiRT 2 has a green spine.
 
I have an idea:
Red- Simulation Mode
Blue- arcade mode
Black- Secretly a free copy of Forza 3 for you to smash and laugh at.
 
The black is most likely the game. You can see it has a transparent casing while the red and white have an opaque white one. Also the black casing has things written while the other two are just plain colors.

I'm convinced the black one is the game.
