Yamauchi says this is their third presentation -- E3, Gamescom and now TGS.
A new course for GT5 is Laguna Seca -- rebuilt for GT5. Another new course is Trail Mountain.
The night track is the Circuit de la Sarthe. It looks exactly like it does for races.
There is the Volkswagon Kubelwagen -- designed by Mr. Porsche. Another is the VW Schwimmagen, which can drive in water. Also designed by Porsche. Sadly, this game won't be in the release of GT5.
Another VW is the Samba Bus.
1:16 Another is a concept car, the Isuzu 4200R
1:16 Yamauchi is showing off "interesting" cars for GT5.
1:17 The other car is a GT by Citroen
1:17 Polyphony Digital designed the car's interior.
1:18 We are done with the interesting cars, and we have moved on to the "My Home" function of GT5
1:20 These are features that have been discussed in the past.
1:20 Now we are talking about "Gran Turismo Anywhere"
1:22 You can access My Home from a web browser on the internet.
1:22 So, you don't need your PS3 to check your messages or your photos, but you can check them at gran-turismo.com
1:22 You log in with your PSN id
1:23 This version of My Home will appear on gran-turismo.com when the game launches.
1:24 You can perform races on the net through a function called "Remote Races"
1:24 So you can play with your friends through the Bspec mode
1:24 via an internet browser.
1:25 If you keep your PS3 on Remote Mode, when you are outside, the PS3 will act as a server that will host games you play when out of your home.
1:26 He says Gran Turismo Anywhere is a bridge between the console and the browser game industry
1:27 The game has a series of special events like Karting Experience, the AMG driving school, The Stig Challenge, Jeff Gordon NASCAR School, Sebastien Loeb Rally Challenge, Gran Turismo Rally
1:28 Today, they are going to show us a Gran Turismo Rally
1:28 It is not a simply dirt time trial. Every time you play, the track will change
1:29 The special stages are automatically generated. You can hear the voice of the navigator!
1:29 Yamauchi is going to play a live demo
1:29 He goes into the special event section.
1:30 And has selected the rally.
1:30 The number of special stages is determined by the level you achieve.
1:31 The course was generated just now.
1:31 And Yamauchi is off!
1:32 The voice of the navigator is audible.
1:32 You can drive by either listening to the navigator or by looking at the map in the center of the screen.
1:33 You can play the Rally Mode offline or online.
1:34 Now, we are onto the in-game weather changes. The game has a dynamic weather system. So weather temp, pressure and humidity changes. Surface changes also change along with the weather!
1:35 The weather conditions are randomized. You will get a real forecast, but it will only be a guideline.
1:37 If it is wet, you'll be exposed to water sprays from the cars in front of you.
1:37 The weather system is only used for tracks you want to use for endurance races.
1:37 The courses you create in the course maker will be compatible with this.
1:37 Now they are showing a trailer of the weather mode. Lots of snow!
1:38 Slick rainy streets.
1:38 You think GT5 has great looking cars? This is great looking weather!
1:38 Now, driving at night -- during the day, dusk and dawn.
1:39 Project "X1 Prototype" is on the screen.
1:40 This is a continuation of what was shown at E3 with regards to what Gran Turismo is doing with Red Bull racing.
1:40 It started with a question: What would a racing car, freed of all technical regulations look like?
1:41 The design was done by Polyphony Digital, the partner was Red Bull Racing, and the tech advisor was Adrian Newey.
