The new circuit for GT5 Prologue

[LANDO]

Thanks to a spanish forum friend, who is a betatester for the european version of GT5P, the new circuit will be HIGH SPEED RING.

 

[flubbachany]

Can he/she confirm whether there are 60 cars in the EU release?

 

[LANDO]

Yes, he also told me about that. Only 37 cars for the moment.

 

[GTP_JASE72]

Only 37 that's less then the JPN version

 

[Jay]

Thats the same as the JPN version.

 

[flubbachany]

Damn! I was hoping the AU version (which i presume is same as EU?) will have the 60+ cars like US! So EU and AU also get this 6th track i presume?

 

[toyota_gt1]

Lando, do you have any proof that High Speed Ring is in GT5?

 

[GTP_JASE72]

Thought there was 40 in the JPN version

 

[RedBaron]

OMG, most useless circuit in GT is coming again.Old original circuits are just so plain and generic, even Deep Forest was not so "deep" in GT4, GT3 version was better. I would be pleased if they bring us real circuit, like Ehra-Lessien.

It's a case of you get what you're given

But Grand Valley would have been nice though

Yes, I like it basically, the same as Midfield. But old original circuits need redesign, give some bumps to make them more "live". But in case of high speed ring it's just pure computer geometry and no fun for me.

Nope, 37, excluding the AI only Black mask GTR.

 

[LANDO]

No, we only have his word. But he is a serious person, he is also Home betatester, he thinks the circuit is not finished yet, tha water is plain blue without effects, the textures are bad and there is no people on the steps.

I will ask him for photos.

 

[toyota_gt1]

Like Jase, I would much perfer Grand Valley or Special Stage Route 11 (probably won't be in the full GT5). But HSR is still a classic and a decent track.

Maybe that's the whole reason right there . One of the easiest to add with only a little reworking.
And No disrespect but to LANDO and his friend but this is still to be officially confirmed .

 

[toyota_gt1]

I must say that I'm now on my heels waiting for some screens and videos.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

That´s a bore. HSR is IMO the most boring circuit in GT4, excluding Tsukuba of course...

 

[GTP_JASE72]

Yeah . If GT5P is to be released in the EU when people are saying 28/03/2008
I'd have thought there should be something along soon.

 

[Jay]

That´s a bore. HSR is IMO the most boring circuit in GT4, excluding Tsukuba of course...

Tsukuba is my second favorite track in GT4!

but I agree with you on HSR.

 

[MagpieRacer]

I quite like High Speed Ring so if this is true I dont mind.

 

[flubbachany]

High Speed Ring is a good circuit for tuning cars for dift in high speed and long corners. That's about eh only thing I found it useful for, and seeing as the tuning in GT5 is only quicktune and won't allow any work on suspension, makes it a useless track.

 

[Duratec]

Carn't help but feel a little disappointed its the HSR, a revamped deep forest or trial mountain would of been nice.

 

[amar212]

Since I didn't expect Nurb or Spa (or any other high-profile circuit to be honest) - while I've kept my fingers crossed for LeMans (as it was shown in Prologue engine during last year's race on Audi's R8 event) - HSR is a nice addition.

It was one of my favourite circuits form the first game, and although I didn't like visual revamping done in GT4 (bridge and lack of grass areas in favour of concrete), I'm pretty much excited with possibility of HSR in Prologue.

Racing any MR or high-powered FR car on S1 tyres will be quite a challenge on PRO psysics.

 

[STINGer71]

But Grand Valley would have been nice though

Best GT track ever

Especially at the end of oval

Especially at the end of oval

And on the final corner before exiting on straight

 

[cudadude2]

theres likly to be a new track and at least 60 cars.

[RacingFreak2k3]

Sure there are better circuits, but they have to save some surprises for GT5. I actually love the high speed ring, probably a lot more so than the london course IMO.

 

[Craig HP]

I can't wait to see them photos that Lando was talking about. However he might not be able to get them so we will have to wait and see!

 

[Tenacious D]

There's no way SONY would sit by and let a beta tester give that out. Jordan would pounce on it in a minute.

I'd rather see another track myself, but High Speed Ring is a good track for high speed race cars, like Midfield is. If anything, this is a sign that we'll get a decent roster of race cars, like LeMans cars, which I'm all for. I can't imagine that a race around HSR with Cappuccinos and Miatas would be anything but a snoozer.
