So one has weather & a GT5 preview additionally while one does not. Though from following Sev's previous predictions (FW 2.40, InGame XMB & others) that have come TRUE I have to give this some credibility. I'm hoping at least we get private hosting/servers with damage modeling as a bonus (oh and one more thing I forgot...Nurburgring! crosses fingers)

Sounds like good news, then, even if not fully confirmed.

"Gran Turismo 5 shown on video".
Interesting (imo) they would say this as I wouldn't expect GT5 to look any different from GT5 unless there's some new feature that's going to be shown.

 

[GTP_DONK]

Can you imagine the Nurburgring online with the threat of punters and host disconections

Getting halfway round it then the host disconnects 🤬

 

[patriotzero]

We know to what we need
as a ONLINE features
dedicated servers,friend list
and half o this features

 

[Shant J.]

I have my fingers crossed for new Prologue content. The Peugeots we were promised would be nice.

 

[Monkey House]

Weather would be cool, as long as it doesn't start raining like hell in the middle of every night race, like the NFS games.

 

[Motominded]

when is this to happen?

 

[the Interceptor]

The E3 is set for the 14-17th of July. The Sony press conference is set for the 15th.

 

[GTP_chemicaL]

club builder wuld be cool

 

[Rainmaster]

I hope something good will happen at the E3

 

[tecknical]

I wouldn't get my hopes up, but if they do show damage and weather they should also post an immediate release date. I personally dont want to see beautiful damage and weather effects but then I gotta wait 'till September to get them.

Hallelujah!!!!


I knew Yama-sensei wouldn't let us down!!!

 

[Dave A]

Why, Septembers not far away, by E3 we're half way through July. So that's only a month and a half to September or 2 pay slips away. That's nothing time wise.

 

[homeforsummer]

Woah woah woah... this isn't a cruel photoshop is it? Are PD actually promising a team builder and livery editor?...

 

[the Interceptor]

This is just a list of things they plan to implement in future GTs. There's no guarantee that we'll see all of that in GT5.

 

[homeforsummer]

Ah, gotcha 👍

 

[vanubermaster]

Kaz seems just as excited as we are This will be awesome if it materialises

 

[Beerz]

That image was taken almost a year ago, nothing new there.

 

[H3rmaN]

Yup, also if you look closely you can see the GT:HD logo in the background, so that was taken before GT:HD was scrapped!

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this picture. Yama is a beast.

EDIT: A 50-75% chance of PROLOGUE getting WEATHER AND DAMAGE! Is this for real? I find that hard to believe. Maybe that's just me though?

 

[Ardius]

At the very least, we can take it as an indication that PD already is trying to put those features in or at least has considered them at some point, seeing as nearly all of them have been requested by lots people here several times.
In other words, those that fear that PD are going to screw up the online for GT5 are being silly, PD are not ignoring what other developers are doing, they are just getting one thing done at a time at the level of quality we all expect of them, this is why we haven't seen these features yet, because they clearly dont feel they are good enough to show off yet.

 

[Christhedude]

I would highly appreciate weather and / or damage. But honestly as long as i have time and weather changes...thats all that i need! For GT5 Full damage should definitely be included.

You got that one wrong. That gaming website assumes that there is a 50-75% chance that we're going to get weather and damage in Prologue. It's just their good guess though, I wouldn't bet on it.

How am I wrong when I was asking a question? I never specifically said who was saying there is a 50-75% chance. Anyways yeah I didn't really count on it anyways.

Sorry, I didn't want to sound hostile. I just wanted to make the actual situation absolutely clear, because rumors spread so fast these days.

Yes they do, I understand.

 

[Niks]

Hmm If it was up to me, I would like more and better online options before weather and damage. Those could come up later.

All I want is private rooms and online replays really

 

[Threshold]

I hope they introduce weather. GT needs more variables. Can you imagine racing on a half wet half dry Nurburgring? What tires will you choose?

 

[Mr P510]

They need;
Weather-(proper wet weather tires)
Dynamic Time of day-night
Tire marks on track.
Private Lobbys to eliminate the clowns.
Livery editor.

Just this and many would be happy I'm sure.

Variable weather conditions is an absolute MUST as is the option of the start time on the 24 hour clock for enduro racing .
