Okay everyone, wrap your heads around this.

It took Turn 10 2 years to create 400 cars with cockpit view, damage, rollover and 100 tracks.

Using that same logic and a similar time frame with Polyphony Digital's work on Gran Turismo 5 - lets start with the fact that they have been working on this game for 5 years.

Okay, so for the first 2 years, they made 400 vehicles. The next 2 years, they made 400 more - that's up to 4 years and 800 vehicles.

Now, we hit the 5 year mark - so take away half the workload from 2 more years and half the vehicles from 400 and you get 1 more year and 200 vehicles.

That equals out to 1,000 vehicles for 5 years of work.

Now, Polyphony Digital is far more adept at their job than Turn 10 - this comes from talent and experience; so this fear that Gran Turismo 5 only has 20 or even 60 tracks and only 170 cars with damage and cockpit view is an absurd deduction.

I think that the Tokyo Game Show will show all of us that Polyphony Digital didn't waste a second of coding during the past 5 years. With any luck, we are going to be BLOWN AWAY. :sly:

Excellent post there 👍

Personally, I can't wait for TGS. Hoping for a new trailer and info :D

few things are missing.. both dev teams (turn 10 and PD) probably have different number of people working on their games.
Also, in 5 years time, and this is often overseen, PD had to create GT for the PSP as well... it's not like they have had 5 years just for GT5. (sorry, this has been said allready).

About the 20 tracks.. surely this can't be right? GT2 even had 38 tracks, and GT PSP? how many tracks does that game have?

I dont know.. 20 tracks does not sound like enough to me, unless this is the "light" edition of the game we are talking about.
And that would also mean thta we have seen and played almost half of the tracks.. london, suzuka, fuji, eiger track, and highspeed ring.. we have seen tokyo just now, and we know that there will be atleast 1 nascar track and one WRC track in the game.. pics of the nurburgring and le-mans confirm those are in as well... that's just 9 tracks we can be sure of they are coming.
 
ok, irnbrutwinturbo

sorry for all the !!!!!! but i am too passionate about GT5 to just say what i am concerned about in just boring lower case letters and in a dimmer tone. I just want GT5 to be the game that i had visioned and i am sure all of us do.

Didnt the original translation say 60 tracks with 20 to follow ? How did we end up with only 20 tracks now ?

I was thinking that as well.. but amar updated his cryptic post and confirms that there are 20 tracks in his openingspost of this thread.
and there was a rough translation that said this as well.
 
#2 More than 1000 cars, with many of cars being transferred from GT4. 20 tracks with 60 layouts.

If that is true them it's less than half of GT4's tracks. I am not happy about that. Hopefully it's wrong.
 
Where are you guys getting these numbers from, I know it's 60 x 20 = 1200 tracks in GT5!!!!!11

I think it ought to have been read 60 courses with 20 additional variants of those courses. That's more or less what amar predicted way back...

He only refers to 80 tracks.... and some Italian people have translated it 60 original 20 real. As Famine suggested as well.

It is over 20 tracks with over 60 layouts - Japanese article has an particle no の　which as you probably know (you said you speak Japanese) means that these layouts "belong to" "are of" the tracks.

I think many people are simply unwilling to swallow this. The page never said 60 courses, or 80 courses. Unlike the cars section, I believe it was quite clear, and I don't see that there's any reason to assume they got the numbers the wrong way round :crazy:

Why are people talking about 20 tracks, i heared it was 60 tracks with 20 still to be revealed later.

people keep forgetting it was written MORE THAN 20 Courses and MORE THAN 60 Layouts, which could theoretically mean 100000 tracks and 1000000000000 variations. My personal view is it's an attempt to hide the actual number, but still give info that would no doubt be asked for.

"60 courses confirmed with 20 or more to be revealed" come from dodgy online translators. Wrong translation put up on the news page.

MORE THAN 20 Courses and MORE THAN 60 Layouts (word-for-word) come from my Japanese sister-in-law. A few others here who can speak Japanese also translated the same, including Black Chamber (who's original translation is up on the news page) who had a propper translation done by a friend in Japan after.

That, and they keep forgetting the all important "more than" bit ;)
 
About the tracks.. well i think that nobody really understood the meaning of that list. We dont' even undertstood 170, 830 cars etc. We should wait for official info, hope in english.

Because that's what it now says in the first post of this thread.

GTPlanet Homepage news reads:

■ Courses
60 courses confirmed with 20 or more to be revealed
Click to expand...

so what?
The translation of this japanese website probably created more rumors than it actually helped to get new info on GT5, but its just impossible that GT5 will only have 20 tracks. take the 5 tracks from Prolgogue, add LeMans, Nürburgring, Tokyo, the Rally track from the E3 trailer and you allready have 9 tracks. There are supposed to be more rally tracks and more ovals because of the NASCAR and WRC licenses and many of the older tracks will probably be there again. I dont see GT5 having less tracks than GT PSP has, no way.
 
Here is snapshots of the screen from the Japanese website:

Because google translator is more accurate than several native Japanese-speakers.... :rolleyes:

I'm officially giving up trying to prevent the spread of misinformation (regarding translation of the track info PD posted)

...and people wonder why others get so disappointed and negative when their made-up expectatons aren't met, despite being warned.

That "Gran Turismo 4 compatible cars" thingy is confusing as hell!

Not really, it basically means that if you have a GT4 game save on your PS3, you can transfer the cars in your garage to your GT5 games, they are fully updated like the GT5P versions, you don't have to worry about them looking like PS2 cars.

Um... I seriously doubt that. How exactly are you gonna transfer saves from the PS2 to the PS3 in the first place? There is no hard drive on the PS2 you know...
