    nice and throaty good intake runner noise, awesome sounds much better in gt5. I just hope we get real Rotary sounds, real turbo sound, and real Vtec so 1/3 looking good

  2. Tom Ste... GT5!!!!

    Fireworks while your racing wow what a great little touch lol :D and im excited my girlfriend just bought a 50 inch 3d tv and its plasma so great response time, but best of all i have to look after the house for ten days in december, EVEN Better. however PD, GT5 better be out at the end of this month. PLEASE!!!!

    The Special Stage Rout 7 run looks like a scene from Wangan Midnight. And the engine tone sounds greatly improved from the GT4 version. Yamauchi-san has done an awesome and thumbs up to you Jordan for the vid. Sony has to release the game… NOW!!!! I’m new but I love Gran Turismo. GT 4 LIFE!!!!

  4. krankit

    the v-tech is not quite what most think it’s touted for it’s reliability not for proformance . great vid thanx Jordan!

    Must say I’m more than impressed by that tire smoke at the end, hangs around for way longer than we’ve seen before. I’m guessing it’s all about graphical load, in big races with a lot of cars on screen the smoke will be pared back a bit, but like this where it’s just one car on screen we can now expect it to be epic like this. Looks stunning. This, along with the rain in the cockpit view + headtracking + improved audio = a happy David.

    I think GT5 will keep me occupied and happy for several months of my life :D

  6. Omamder5

    Funny how GT4 makes GT5 looks like GT3. I know it’s just how the video was captured, but I’m really surprised by how good GT4 looks in this. I wish I could play it rather than just wait for GT5…

  7. Squozen

    All I hear is an overloading microphone. Even the lightweight ‘ding’ of the start sound breaks up. Don’t be surprised if the game doesn’t sound nearly this meaty.

  8. John Marine

    The Honda MUGEN Civic kind of sounds like the Honda NSX JGTC cars in GT3… only with a much more poweful engine note.

    As for Special Stage Route 7, this track seems very interesting and with the fireworks in the background. This track looks like a course that would make illegal street racing fans happy. It reminds me of the highway battles in the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series. The only game where I could remember a street course with fireworks in the background was “Shooting Hoops” in Ridge Racer Type 4. Interesting video!

  9. Foxiol

    Sounds good but i like the GT4 sound in this car at least…but without the “jiiiiii” sound (electrical) that GT4 has at the back of all engines.

  10. G

    I cant wait to blast it up the motorway and drift it around that top turn before blasting it back… I’ll prob be making a loud WOOOOOOO! sound all the way there and back haha!

  11. GT5_delayHATER!

    I think the sound in GT4 were better.
    Sound in this vid from GT5 makes me think that the car rev is limited to 5.000. Very weird noise.
    The GT 4 sound, sounds scarier, real mean race car sound.
    The GT5 sound is more like a car that should be dumped. =/
    Well looks like I´m the only one here thinking that… =S

    1. occasionalracer

      No, that’s kind of how I hear it too, but the camera recorded sound is probably muffling out a wide variety frequencies resulting in rubbish notes. I bet it actually sounds much clearer first hand, because those two sounds are waaay to different to be the same car, surely they didn’t change it that much but have done some work on the lower frequencies to add to the rumble which is cool.

    2. WHY?

      I AGREE! It sounded alot smoother in GT4 & that Civ wanted to do more, in GT5 it looked as if it was struggling, sounded terrible in my opinion, possibilities are it could be that stinking camera used for GT5.

  12. Geo_212

    By the way, guys, is someone from GTPlanet going to host a Track Day in GT5 when it’s released? One that’s only open to GTPlanet members? That would be cool! :)

  13. Jump_Ace

    IIRC, video 1 was a GT4 WRS from way back :) The difference is pretty amazing imo. Thanks for these videos guys.

    Jerome

    1. Geo_212

      Come to think of it, if you played just the sound without the video, you might think it’s Forza 3… but thankfully it isn’t :)

  14. Circuit*star

    KANJO RACE!!!!!!!!Thats sounds exactly like like my D16A1. WOW that’s japan Tokyo bridge OMG PD should make a Version of Tokyo Xtreme Racer.

    1. Sigmaviper11

      Dude, OMG, id GT made or remade Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero, it would be soooooooooo bloooody EPIIIIIIIC!!!!

      Ok, sorry for the ghetto type, but you get my point. If you take all the current possible features in GT5 and applied them to a TXR style run of GT, it would blow every other Wangan game out of the water!!!

    2. Circuit*star

      Yess that’s what Im saying not just any any TXR game but any game. But i don’t think Pd supports street racing =(

    3. Sigmaviper11

      Yea, I don’t think so either. Specially with Kaz entering full legitimate races, I doubt even mass outcry would convince him to make a street racing game too. And all the roads would be right there. No need to travel half way round the world just to get some shots. But, who knows. Maybe one day. He might indulge our fantasy.

    4. Circuit*star

      ^^ lets stay positive but would you imagine TXR PD Kaz style Online with at least 20 cars on these highway plus ai pedestrian or racers all together..omg that would be my life.

    5. Tek9[R]

      Txr was built for online, it even had e-mail. It became a game I would show beginners after they would give up on my GT set up. The paint even made your car heavier!

    1. Geo_212

      Yeah, it seems PD applied as much time for the smoke to stay in the air as they could before the frame rate dropped. It’s lookin’ smexy :)

  15. Sigmaviper11

    Sorry for the doube post, but has anyone recognized this road from say. . . Tokyo Extreme? Or for that matter any Wangan Highway Battle Game?

    1. Circuit*star

      Well the truth to this is that you do see the Wangan highway highway but PD went around the ramps exits the connect the bridge from Tokyo city to Wangan highway. True life version just like in Tokyo xtreme racer.

    2. Sigmaviper11

      Ohh, so then what is this then? It goes right next to the Bayshore route, but isn’t the bayshore route? Ahhhhh!!!! I’m CONFUSED!!!! hehe. Ok no, really, that kinda threw me. What ya mean?

    3. Circuit*star

      IT is a Tokyo Real life Tokyo Bridge the connects from Tokyo to the wangan highway just like in TXR. There is nothing to be confuse about.

  16. Sigmaviper11

    GT4 Civic, sounds like my neighbor’s tuner car, or for that matter most of the street tuners around here. GT5 Civic, sounds like a proper beat your face in race grade civic.

  17. GB

    Excellent, i see skidmarks at the end of the vid. Had been looking for them in the previous vids but couldnt spot any in this ‘final build’.

  18. j-kirb

    Too bad the chase cam view is so tight on the back of the car. In the gt4 vid there was more side view if the car when it turned. The sounds are awesome!

    1. GT5_delayHATER!

      If the guys at Genki are smart and start to make the new game now, it could be released earlier then GT5.
      Nah, just kidding. Ow Sh********it Sony!!! Come on!!!! >(

    1. deathcabdan

      I’m not sure. All I know is that it really sucks not knowing anything at this point. Does anyone know what the next occasion is that they could reveal the new release date?

    2. Mad Marc

      there isnt one altough xmas is not a hoilday in japan best buy amzon are saying 12/31 i cant see sony saying ok guys out next week ,.. that doesnt fit with marketing at all

    3. bachy

      “Tentative” release date is January 11th. That means u can expect to actually hold a copy of GT5 sometime in February.
      And that’s provided there’s no more ridiculous excuses for delaying.
      If this game is not at least in the hands of those of us who paid for it a year ago by the end of February, then I think we’ll have reached the point where the vaporware label will apply.
      This stopped being acceptable after the already well-past-due 11-2-10 date was missed, imo.

    1. Circuit*star

      no vtec by that time. they better have the EF civic siR not just the CRX siR which were the one the introduce Vtec to the world.

    2. G

      They got the VTEC step up perfectly on GTPSP, obviously its not as deep and rich as it would be in GT5, but there is a definate step in the engine tone when I drive the Integra type R… So I would assume GT5 will nail it!

    1. Dark-Cloud4

      GT4 is different then GT5 , they are both like diffrent games but GT4 or even GT3 is better then all forza games :P .. i loved the training in GT5 ( i didn’t like cars befor i played GT games , they are the best , have alots of fun and i get a weird feelings when i play gt or any good games , collecting cars and doing the career , just epic !! and changing oil and washing the car is kool xD …

    1. Mattycakes

      i dont think so. it appeared to have blacked out windows. And i would assume if it were, the dude would give the cockpit cam a shot.

    2. WHY?

      @Tom You’re wrong I for one would love to have an 80’s cockpit viewed on my screen, especially the old school Civs.

    1. NorwegianStig

      This i like when I was 11 yrs old, all over again : “can I play now? can I play now? can I play now?”

      Brother : “wait”

    2. Mattycakes

      the low quality of the video confused me for a sec, then when i figured it out i yelled out loud “fireworks?! that is awesome!” :D

    1. occasionalracer

      Yup, the mic in that camera is about just as crappy as the video quality. Really bad comparison actually.

    1. Brad McClaren

      I expected some improvement, simply because the sound quality on TVs has improved, and the console has improved, but will reserve judgement until I can be one of the lucky jerks to own a copy, lol.

    1. Mig

      @WHY? every thread lately i see you complaining about the chase cam… you dont give 2 hoots what the thread is about as long as you can have your cry session .. hey i guess im crying about you…… wanna hold hands and cry together?
