Robin.
It doesnt suprise me at all that GT5 has been delayed. From what we have seen so far it only looks like 30-40% of the game is done. We have only seen about 100 cars from the 1000 claimed to be included and lots of promised features have not even been seen yet. That and the original damage model was quite poor so they are going to have to overhaul that aswell.

I would rather they take all the time they need. I want them to do the best job possible and not get into this 'release now patch later' culture. I recon we will see it released near the end of 2010 maybe for the holiday season.

Just because we haven't seen i doesn't mean it's not near complete. He has said a along he wants to "surprise" us.

Surprise us by releasing it asap. Come on Kazzy, Time is of the essence my man!
 
Kaz said that they are currently working on many cars and setting them up right might take more time than they thought. Also if they are still making features in game, final bug hunting has not begun yet.
 
It's about 5:36PM in Japan, and they said they were to do a presentation at 5PM on Saturday. Where is the info?
 
well it probably hasn't finished yet.
 
We don't have another gt5 video from Tokyo auto salon??
 
If we have any video I would imagine we would have it within the next hour or two. But I wouldn't be so sure.

Heath, I would think info would be up on the web already don't you think?
 
Im hoping we get more than just the Toyota FT-86G video. Kaz did say there will be more manufacturer agreements announced.
 
Actually yeah I was kinda thinking we'd hear something by now. Because according to the TAS website the GT5 whatever thing finished at 3:50 pm Japan time.

Thats the beauty of it, bugs can be fixed via DLC unlike in GT4. I think they're just trying to get everything ready and done because adding substantial things into the game with patches whilst making previous saves compatible can be quite difficult. Bug hunting won't be as high up on the list of priorities as it was in previous games... And by the sounds of it this game is big, so they won't be able to find everything if they tried. Best to hand it over to us.

As long as they get any game-ending bugs (i.e. you get to a point where you can't continue or load your save) out before release i'm fine with patches.
 
Maybe the 'manufacturer agreement' is just the use of Toyota's new brand, : G Sports. It's an agreement after all.
Maybe we got too hyped about this.

Hope I'm totally wrong though :D
 
Previous GT's have been faultless. I've never experienced any bugs with Gran Turismo. So I expect this one will be the same. After all the boys n' girls at PD are Perfectionists ;)
 
The didn't ever finished car modelling while they gived sounds a short shrift again and scenery modeling is still very basics. Even some eleven years old games did have some better details than GT has today.

God I hate Kaz sometimes :grumpy::mad:

Hope this is not the 'biggest GT display ever built'... -_-
 
Well, I guess it is. And those are the same cockpits from TokyoMotorShow 2009.
 
It's starting to look like that's all there is to see. A presentation was scheduled at 5 PM. It's almost 7 PM there now and we still haven't heard or seen anything. That leads me to believe it was nothing big at all.
 
I've just had a brilliant thought. Maybe this is the calm before the storm. :D

Unless i'm mistaken that game was on PC. Also if you look, there are barely more than 2 trees on screen at any one time (I couldn't find info on WRC 2000, only 2001 and after :/ So i might be wrong, but i don't think it was on PS2 or any other console). In GT5 on the Nurburgring there could be 30+ trees on screen. They may still be 2D, but they are higher detail and higher resolution than the ones in that game (They have to be, running at 1080p). The fact the PS3 has a very limited supply of RAM also makes it problematic to have full 3D images of trees, any PC gamer knows high detail trees on a low spec machine causes epic lag, its something PD has done to keep the framerate down and allow for 16 car races.

But we shall see if PD include proper rally stages what they can do with the trees. We havn't seen a proper rally circuit ingame yet.

The bolded part isn't exactly true now is it. We all know SpeedTree which has become extremely popular middleware this generation of consoles. And with good reason. It procedurally generates trees, plants, foliage, etc. in fantastic quality. The high resulotion textures currently used for trees in GT5 consume much more RAM than SpeedTree, which trades memory usage for processing power. I don't understand why they didn't use it. In fact, every game with trees or foliage should use SpeedTree.

It was probably meant to be big at the time Kaz gave the interview, with big reveals planned. The delay probably threw a spanner into the works, and made PD re-think it.

Well... i'm man enough to admit when i'm wrong, fair enough :dopey:

The graphics engine would need a complete overhaul to implement it now though. Maybe this is what caused the delay :sly: Meh

I have to admit the "secrecy" that is going around GT5 is so pointless right now. They don't have a direct competitor that will release simultaneously with them, they do not have a competitor on the PS3. So the "I can't tell, I can't discuss" comments are so funny at this stage of development.

They are making a game after all not a weapon for the Japan military.
 
still nothing from Tokyo starting to get worried here i just want PD to comment on the delay and tell me the game will e released in the summer

Nah its not done yet. It will be by the end of March though including testing. Then we wait for the Sony Marketing machine to get off its backside and release the game.
 
Guess that is true, but then again I can see GT5 being released September or the holiday season; though the most likely date would be somewhere in the summer, but if we're that far along they might just as well go for the holiday season :)
