I really hate the ps-move!!Sony sucks me with this "ice.cream":sly:

Sony have just officially announced Little Big Planet 2 with Move support.

I hope this isn't going to be the main focus for Sony's E3 conference or mean another AAA title they don't want GT5 to encroach on sales.

A lot of people said that the March release could have been put back due to the Uncharted 2 and GOW 3 releases.

Im starting to fear this E3 will be like the Ridge Racer thing, except it would be like...

And Our AAA Title for this E3: Its MOOOOOVEEEEEEE.......

I will be completely honest here, even if E3 is a huge GT5 explosion the main focus for Sony will still be Move. GT5 will likely get about as much, or a little more, time as GTPSP did last year. Don't forget that the Sony presentation is an hour long and dedicated to the entire PlayStation brand and GT5 is just one game, no matter how big.

They have to have time to cover the PSP, show a sizzle trailer of everything coming up and then focus on the next two or three big games (Mod Nation Racers PSP will likely be one). Then they will focus on PS3, dedicating a huge chunk of it to Move (another sizzle trailer), showing of a few of the very specific things coming up for Move, and how it will work with some of the traditional titles like LBP2 and SOCOM. And of course there will be a bit of a focus on the party game stuff and, if they are smart, time for EA to show off how much better it works with Tiger Woods than the Wii along with EA Sports Active (Move?). Then we will likely head into the main PlayStation 3 focus with another sizzle trailer. From here they will discuss the PS3 itself and then focus on two or three games. This is where we will find GT5. This will be where the information will pour out and the features will be shown off. It will even drag out just a bit to tease us as they show us stuff we already know about and then they will hit us with big stuff and at the very end, as Kazunori Yamauchi is going off stage Jack Tretton will thank him and then say, "You can expect Gran Turismo 5 on X date."

Depending on how Sony choose to market Move will determine whether Move will be the final demonstration of the presentation or if it will be the two or three non-Move AAA titles they want to show off.

And this is all assuming GT5 will be there at all. The main point is that Sony has an hour long presentation for PlayStation, not for Gran Turismo 5. Heck, if Yamauchi is at the Le Mans 24 Hours race a few days before and trying to get all his E3 stuff set up he may be too worn out to make it and we might just get a new trailer with some details in it and Jack Tretton announcing the release date.
 
I hear ( to add another pointless rumour ) Kaz is being cast as the next Bond-villain in a new, yet to be named, James Bond adventure whereby James has to track down Dr Polyphonic ( obviously played by Kaz ) and his fearless assistent Translator-san who keep refusing to supply the free world with their much needed GT5-fix although their Tokyo-based lair is stacked from top to bottom with millions of copies like some sort of Alladin's cave.
And to add insult to injury Bond for the very first time drives not one but several Porsches from past to present.................

Translator-san with his notebook of death? Nobody knows what it does... But when he gets that notebook out you'd better get the hell outa there!

Ferrari - Do you know any other high performance cars with such beauty and unique red color, beautiful sound, such F1 history.Next...

Well, let's see. Porsche's Guards Red is quite an amazing color, the 911 shape is timeless, the flat-6 has always been a masterpiece of engineering, & they have a dominating Le Mans record, so....

I was afraid I'd read it right ;), sincerely doubt Kaz would consider something which appears to be drawn by a ( not so talented ) ten-year old who's only seen a Lambo from a grainy picture once and then build by the local mechanic who has even less talent ( and a drinking problem ) and lack of resourses ( due to that drinking problem ), but ofcourse this is just my opinion.:D

It's funny to see people believe the SSC was built in a shed by some rednecks, b/c it becomes painfully obvious that they have zero clue about the car's history.

Jarod spent 10 years of hard work bringing the SSC to where it is, a daily drivable supercar w/ 1000Hp. He may not have the resources Bugatti has, but hell, neither did Christian V.K. & he made a well desired car as well.

Seismica
As an engineering masterpiece, the SSC Aero is nothing on the Bugatti Veyron, but more along the lines of a Koenigsegg. It is widely regarded that the Veyron is a masterpiece (Though I don't care much for it myself).

It would suffer the same problems as the Koenigsegg IMO. Not stable enough at top speed etc.
Click to expand...
This is another common myth amongst SSC & Koenigsegg. Both cars shoot for the Bugatti's speed record, but at the same time both, are also shooting usability.

Bugatti's technological marvel is that it has a 1,000Hp W16 engine w/ 4 turbos & can be driven fast by anyone. Koenigsegg & SCC obviously don't have such resources to lose money on each car, but they've done their research. Both cars do have amazing aerodynamics & engineering to handle 240Mph+. If you haven't, look at the Triveta. Christian did some amazing work to bring the CC8S to that car & the CC8S was already a monster.
And I bet it would start suffering from reliability problems much earlier than a Veyron if used in the same way repeatedly.

Possibly, but at the same time, the CCX & the SSC are going to be much cheaper to fix & will be back on the road quicker.

The highlighted bits pretty much summed it up. You can have all the expertise and the research but it's the funding you need at the end of the day. And Bugatti have more of it. As you pointed out, and has been pointed out by reviewers including the guys at Top Gear, it sells at a multi-million Euro loss for Volkswagen.

I have no doubt that they are well engineered cars, they have to be to be able to reach those sorts of speeds in the first place. But the Veyron is a lot more refined and I guess to a certain extent user-friendly.

You're probably correct about the cheaper to fix point too.

I was only referring to what it appears to look like in my opinion, not seriously suggesting this might actually be fact.
No matter how long it takes to produce and develop the car ( and I have enormous sympathy for those challenging the big companies with limited resources, but there are far better resolved examples in car history IMO ) it still looks the way I first jokingly described it to me, that's merely a personal opinion or taste not changed by any knowledge I may or may not posses about the SSC and its creator.
I truly admire and know quite a lot about the history of the Ferrari brand but still think the new California is pig-ugly for instance.
 
None of these cars is any good in my taste.. To me, it's how fast you can go around the track.. Enzo, Zonda R, Gumpert Apollo etc. Now these are good cars! :)

I just watched the video on LBP2 and read up on it - sounds like they really improved the concept and beefed up the single player. If people can effectively build their own self-contained games, it'll be really interesting to see what they come up with. Who knows, a Gran Turismo fan might even do us all a favour and make a version of Gran Turismo for us all to play while we wait for GT5 ;)

Nothing like the sound of a dump truck coming from a flashy coupe.

Hehe, opinions. Heard the 8.3L in the Viper Competition Coupe chase down a Lamborghini Gallardo (PRO-GT class) at the F1 GP @ Albert Park in Melbourne back in March. It's not an a-typical engine sound that's for sure. You couldn't even hear the Gallardo's engine as he came out of the turn over the Viper.
 
You know the only thing I really worry about when it comes to GT5 is the car list. I worry that like GT4 even though the game is delayed releases on the Automotive market miss out. e.g.: 2011 Mustang GT or like the C6 Z06 missing out in GT4.

I tend to have optimism when it comes to games, I figure the developers are working their heart outs to do create something they can be proud of themselves. Most of the time I'm pretty happy with games I buy, they always surprise me in one way or another, like Doom 3, Quake 4, C&C 3, Deus Ex etc. Although admittedly most of those I've mentioned come from larger development rooms. GT should be no exception.

Thats the thing that worry me the least, of 1 reason alone. DLC on PS3 is far more realistic than for ps2 :P Even though there is no official info about that yet, it would surprise me quite a bit, if we don't get any DLC for GT5. Every other car game, and most games in general have it, why not GT5 as well..

Depends if it's in the contract or not. Most game developers sign a contract with a publisher and usually that contract requires 2 or 3 DLC packs, depending on the game of course. That however isn't usually the case with 1sd party titles. With GT5, I think once they finish the game, they'll take a month or two vacation and then get to work on GT6. With GT6 likely being GT5 based, new car DLC is almost a given.
 
Hrm good points, forgot about DLC. Paying $8 AUD each time there's a new pack for Forza with only say 2 cars out of 8 I like isn't really attractive.
 
SrRd RacinG
Speaking of DLC, how many of these FM3 cars (from the exotic car pack) do you think will make it to GT5?

The Tesla is in GT5. The red thing based on the viper sounds interesting but the rest of the cars are nothing interesting. Gumpert maybe, for the name alone and maybe the radical.
It looks like turn10 just watched random episodes of Top gear and picked cars, which isn't a bad thing. The money they have made off these DLC packs is ridiculous though.
 
I've posted this elsewhere, but this is one DLC pack I won't be buying.

There's exotic and then there's stupid exotic, this pack falls into the latter, thus it doesn't interest me.
 
Oh, no. Someone mentioned Forza.

*Waits for the madness to ensue*
 
dave_sz
I think most people moved on with the forza hate.
Click to expand...

Not everyone. It lingers on both sides. I pointed out that the native resolution of GT5:P was 1080p as opposed to Forza's 720p, and that the lightning tech that Polyphony uses (www.illuminatelabs.com) was superiour to what Forza had..... and then....

BAM an idiot jumps the gun and gets all defensive about Forza how it has X, Y and Z better than GT5:P when the whole point of the discussion was about the graphics.

*sigh*
 
I've never hated Forza, I just find those Forza crazies that hate on GT for "bumper car" physics are just a bunch of frat kids that don't know anything about cars. Also, lots of people tend to ignore the fact that Forza 3 has a steering buffer, which is absolutely dumb.

LOL I know those crazies you talk about, I speak to one at Gamefaqs all the time unfortunately. Personally the 'bumper' car physics doesn't have an effect on me. I drive like you're meant to, don't collide with walls, barriers or other cars. Problem solved.

Does anybody know Kaz his twitter is REAL or fake?
I saw something january 2011..
But I hope it's a joke,

Really? B/c, those same kind of people are on this forum hating Forza for the same reason. ;)

In other words, this goes both ways for GT & Forza; neither side has a lack of "frat kids".
