I haven't seen it. Thanks! 👍
 
Havn't seen it either. Thanks for re-posting.

I know this is going to get eaten alive here, but I figured it's a story to pass the time.

So, anyways...

I ran into a guy I formerly worked with who isn't huge into racing, but enjoys it. We used to briefly talk about GT5 here and there over the past year and a half. Well, I saw him today and he told me he got the call to pick up GT5. I told him he's an idiot and that the game just first went gold this week, and that they are printing copies as we speak (like everyone knows already). He was convinced otherwise, saying that the shop he ordered it from had limited quantities of an early release copy and he had to pay $75 for it instead of $60. Sounds like complete BS, right? Well, at that point, I told him I'd give him $100 for it (knowing I could turn around and sell it for way more if it were true). He's told me he would, but didn't want to because he just got it and wants to play it more without waiting for it to officially release. At this point, I start quizzing him about what's in it and what his favorite things about it were...stuff, that he wouldn't even know (like he didn't even know NASCAR or rally were in it), but that he tried some of that out in the timeframe he tried it.

Who knows, I know he has to be BS'ing, but the teeniest tiniest fraction of me said..."What if". PD has done stranger things.

Please don't flame me, I just thought I'd share that and I'll find out what the scoop is on his story (he probably bought Prologue, but that doesn't have NASCAR or rally). I've been on GTPlanet about 10 times daily for the past year, so I know what's up with all the current info and I know this can't be possible, but like I said..."WHAT IF"

Carry on. :)

Fur reel?

But I wonder what verification they go through to think it's solid enough to make their own post? It is providing lots of hits, and despite spreading like wildfire I wonder if they are aware of Jalopnik's credibility?

At this point Jalopnik's credibility is irrelevant and Sony, more or less being put on the spot, have to deliver some sort of message to confirm or deny the news.
 
awards are over, yes? Not that I expect a release date but anything?

Sony already basically confirmed that the story is true.

Really? What if you expect nothing and something bad happens would you not be both surprised and disappointed?

I imagine the costs to throw commercials into such an intense time-slot probably don't come cheap, though. That and the commercials that have been made so far wouldn't have an accurate release date.

Is it really half of Europeans? What a frighteningly large number, wow!

Make it 1/3, that's still over 130 million watching in Europe alone, add the rest of the world and...it becomes clear having the electronic billboards in the field is worth it, they do it for the PS3.

My point here is that it is very strange no major advertising blitz was ever put in motion at the biggest European sporting events, nor anywhere else. Why is that?
 
Guys, I've been thinking about the Test Course.

You know, many of us find really interesting to test a car's top speed, 0-400m and 0-1km acceleration, and I would REALLY miss it if it's not available on GT5.

As I remember, the Test Course wasn't seen in GT4 until the game was out. In GT5, we could use the Top Gear Track straight (where the 96 car picture is taken) to test acceleration, but I was wondering if there will be some kind of giant Oval Test Course like always before. I know it's likely, but what do you think?

Greetings
 
Hey guys just a quick post for anyone interested about Jason Bradbury (Gadget show) bloke testing GT5 yesterday his twitter says.

GT5 brief play. Quik access to huge range of cars is cool. Tracks much more varied than b4. Steep learning curve. Visually - best out there.

Just create your own with the Course Maker! 👍

Yup. The first track I'm going to create is a 6 mile long straight away for max speed testing.

I would love to create a track with same theme as nurburgring. But with even more dangerous curves and hills up'n'down.

O gee.. now I started to think at nurbrurgring and got that wanting feeling again for GT5.. :( I realy need it now guys...
 
Can you imagine doing a 12 car drag race down a six mile straight away. It would come down to top speed, and what car handles the best at 250+mph.

I call BS six ways of Sunday. He's apparently the only guy on planet earth with a full copy of this game and his review consists of three short twitter sentences? Yea, OK.

Lots of cars, more tracks and good visuals? Hell I should be a "gadget" reviewer, because I already knew all that about GT5, in fact most have for about 6 years now.:dunce:

1 is there any need to shoot the messenger ?, 2 over in the UK Jason Bradbury is a respected technology tester and game review, 3 the thread is called Latest News and General Discussion it fits with that for the fact of it is news based on its from his twitter page and its relevant as of he tested numerous games yesterday, Just coz someone's posted some news no matter how trivial it may sound is no need to sound so damn condescending
