1. Handbrake. In GT5P, does the handbrake still take a milennium to swing the tail out? :p

GT5P handbrake is realistic now, nothing like GT4's

2. Power-over... same thing, really. I play on GT4 loads, and on a BMW M5, with road tires and no aids, you should be able to get the back out no problem. But it's real hard. How has power-over and car rotation been improved in GT5P?

Oh don't worry the M5's tail will swing no worries, again unlike GT4.

But the clutch is a on and off button, you cant ride the clutch. I hope the final game is a bit different, and we should be able to stall the car!

You can ride the clutch, it's just the biting point is very small and you need a fine 'touch'.
We can stall the car per se, the revs drop to zero and you go no where. It's just the car comes back alive automatically with the clutch depressed and throttle.

but yes I do hope they support it better.

Just a quick question.

Is there any confirmed info (interview or something like that) on global premier - I mean not a day of release but if the game will have premier on every continent the same day or is Japan getting the game first ?

In other words is every maniac forced to buy 2 versions or only one in their language ?;)

It's more realistic, I wouldn't say it's particularly great. It's more a problem with the physics, and its particularly noticeable at low speeds (probably because that's where GT's physics breaks down.

I don't have any problems with it, though I never really use it to initiate drifts. But the times I have used it you can spin the cars 180 degrees pretty easy with it.

Hmm... I had been thinking about... a certain month... ;) This would frost a particular competitor if this bears true.

I bet we are the only 2 people who really think it could be September 25. ;)
And im usually a sceptical and pessimistic person.

The only thing is that they probably won't anounce it until the TGS, which doesn't begin until 9/24. I don't think 1 day would make for a good marketing campaign.

GamesCom Cologne in August says "hallo". 8)

Even if they do announce it there(I doubt it), 1 month wouldn't be nearly enough time for a September 25th release. You need at least 4 months for a good marketing campaign.
 
No, not with such a franchise.
You dont advertise a game 4 month before release and especially not Gran Turismo 5, which already has a Prologue on the market. Mr. Average Joe (i heard hes a plumber) who doesnt care like we, will buy the game after release and thats the point where the marketing will be important, we already know about the game, a release date 1 month after its announcement is enough, especially when you can already pre-order.
 
1 Question people:

When we start a new game in GT4 (Carrer Mode) if you have a GT4P save, you start a GT4 new game with 10.000cr and A and B licence, do you think this situation will also happen with the GT5P save game in GT5?

GT has such a large fan base that even if they did not announce a release date and they just put it out there today online and in stores. You would get such a massive reaction from the fan base even just in GTplanet that it would spread like a wild fire and you would have everybody rush to the stores or online buying it right away.

Hell you can see how just rumors spread so fast in online forums that they would not need to spend a dime on marketing GT5 everybody just wants it yesterday.

I can tell you right now that if it was released without an announcement nobody would know it is out.[duh:dunce:]

You could also say that Sony didn't need to market the PS3, however you could blame the lack of marketing to it's slow start. Now after a couple years they are finally gaining their momentum.

This same thing will happen if they don't market GT5. Yes there is a large fanbase that would buy it in a second, but there is a larger amount of "average joe's" who don't frequent sites like this but will still get the game.

They wouldn't need to be in this site. They would just find it somewhere else. It would be on the PS Network site, EB Games, Gamestop, Amazon, etc.. Ebay it would be reviewed by all the gaming magazines, TV Cable Game Channels. You would have to live in a cave not to see it advertised in Sale ad inserts in the sunday papers. I mean everywhere....dude All they need is a press release. " Like Wildfire!!!!"

You said it wouldn't need marketing, all those things are marketing.

That would be done by other companies not Sony. When a game magazine reviews a game Sony dosen't have to pay them to review it. When a store dose a sale ad to sell the game sony dose not pay them to put it in their sale ads,when people try to sell it on ebay, Amazon...etc does sony have to pay them? No.

When we say Sony has to market it. Then Sony has to pay for marketing ads like putting it on TV comercials buying ad space in a magazine. Holding big events to promote it. They can do all that if they wanted to. But the point I was making was they could get away with not doing that and just let the product market it's self for free by the examples I gave.

The only thing is though is magazines/websites would get the game early. This would require Sony to give them a pre-release copy. This would be counted as marketing.

Also, Sony will have to do marketing, the ipod is more popular than any GT and it still has to be marketed.

Like I said they could and they will because it only makes sense too, but if with emphasis on the big "IF" they wanted too they could get away with not having to. Youre missing the point I'm making.
 
I still think that it's quite possible that GT5 will be released around 25 September, because if you think about Fifa 10 then you see that there is almost no marketing at all (just a few previews) and it will still be released in the end of September, so, all we saw about Fifa 10 was just a few images and not even a trailer, so we already saw more about GT5 then Fifa 10. So, I think that alot of the GT5 marketing will start after the Gamescom in August. It makes sense.
 
I Hope it comes out in september, but i have the strange feeling its coming by december 1 or december 9...just dont know why.... :|
 
Maybe, September 25th would be great! (B-day is 30th) But if i had to put a 5$ wager i would say december.
 
Unfortunately I think it just another rumors!

The GAME store in Portugal as also a game box with the information of the pre order of the GT5.

Its just Marketing.
