Gran Turismo Forever

[Cormacaroni]

What do you want to bet they slowly trickle out upgrades to the gimpmobiles, for $$$.

[Smooth Groove]

Sony even has a 10 year plan for Gran Turismo?

[Bildi]

To the total layperson (me) it seems like a team of public servants could get things happening quicker than this.  WTF goes on in Polyphony?

It's this simple: As long as they insist on doing it all in Japan, and Kaz creams off most of the cash, it's going to take forever. They could hire a few hundred extra staff, but they won't do that because they want the money. They are too proud to outsouce the modelling on the cheap though, which is how Turn 10 etc does it.

[TripleA]

I think pride is exactly why the majority of the Japanese development community is completely irrelevant this generation.

[Cormacaroni]

The majority of the Japanese dev. community outsource all kinds of shit, including entire games.

[Cormacaroni]

Well, he's planning on playing it DC - the self-annihilation is already on the books.

[maxy]

Hmm

 

[TripleA]

Like Bionic Commando and DR2?

Because Capcom made an interesting comment recently...

[Cormacaroni]

Not just to western devs...lots of games that are listed as Square-Enix developed (say) are actually done entirely by other firms who are only credited in the small print. Many other games outsource art assets etc too.

[T-Short]

hehe congrats doods. the worst thread on EB

[Smooth Groove]

Owners of PS3s with no backward compatibility are going to be so pissed when they buy this. 

[Smooth Groove]

How can you blame Sony really? You know how many people they'd probably have to add to get those other 800 cars to the same level? I'm surprised we're getting as much as we are for $60. And I love to harp on companies, demanding more from them. Even I can push my differences aside and say "whew, I get to play the game this year, not in 2019".

I mean, we're getting 1000+ cars, tons of tracks, two racing licenses, crazy photo modes, and who knows what else is stuffed in there.

This game is one of the few times I ever felt I'm getting my money, if not, more than my money's worth out of.

Oh ok, cool.

I'm glad premium cars are super cars and cars that you will NEVER get to drive in your life. I wanna experience how these car drive, how the interior looks, etc etc. If I needed to see them do 200 interiors of Honda and Toyota, I'll just go to a car dealer and see them for myself.

Invisible cars! that all handle like Ford Fiestas

[maxy]

There are obvious advantages to ambiguous PR: the ability to string along TripleA fanboys with hopeful semantics and powerful FUD against the competition.

HOLY SHIT...GO-KARTING CONFIRMED IN GOD TURISMO 5!!
Also and option to create and share tracks.

Gran Turismo 5 will offer gamers an experience more rich, more in-depth and more exciting than they might expect - even from a series as closely identified with innovation and invention as Gran Turismo. Not only will Gran Turismo 5 deliver an even more comprehensive set of cars and courses than gamers saw with previous iterations, it will also feature new game-enhacing graphical effects such as damage, night racing and weather.

These innovations are twinned with the option to join millions of like-minded individuals globally within the Gran Turismo community and to find a driving experience to suit, whether that is taking on the Top Gear test track, chucking cars around stunt arenas, go-karting, creating and sharing your own track or intense head-to-head races. Who, where and what to drive is completely down to the individual.

This time around Gran Turismo is likely not just to be the definitive driving experience but a definitive gaming experience full stop.

Turd 10 should just stop making Forza games right now. It's over.

[archie4208]

Glad to see Polyphony catch up to 2003 PC games in features set.

I can't wait

[TripleA]

Actually, given the horrendous sales performance of both Forza 2 and Forza 3, I wouldn't be surprised if Forza 4 was their last outing.

Forza 2 is about 4 million sold and Forza 3 is between 3.5-4 million.

And before you mention bundles,that is how GT sells in Europe...and that is one of the reasons why you see 5:1 ratios between EU an US
Second one is that racing was(is) popular in EU much more than in US.

[Beezy]

So this game is actually coming out this time? I'm tired of hearing about it.

This forum was better without maxy & Third.

smh

Are you are trying to say that I'm not right,pcfag*?



/you are not that

You must be really dedicated to troll a single game for 5-6 years.

[MCD]

oh it wasn't that bad

game trolled itself anyway

Keep telling yourself that buddy, because the NPD and Chart-track contradict everything you say

Yeah, Microsoft will totally give up their car studio that remains profitable.

Didn't stop them from closing their other "profitable" studios.

[TripleA]

Very likely.

If they confirm it will have premium cars as DLC then it's a day 1 purchase.

Actually they don't...Chart Track UK data has Forza 3 at 600k in March...check their awards,I don't think that any PS3 game except COD and GTA is even close to that.

That is the only "real" number that you can get from EU...The rest is just like in any other game,shipped units...sold for them,PR thing
But if you can give us full EU GFK data,please do...

Stop reading VG charts

Actually they do. Your claim was Forza 3 has sold between 3.5 to 4 million, correct?

Your numbers for Forza 3 UK are 600k as of March, correct?

Forza 3 has yet to sell a million in the North America region. Forza 3 has failed to chart in other EU regions for a long long while, in fact, the only region where the game has sold more than 300k is indeed the UK.

Stop believing Che Chou's numbers, they're bad for your image

Ensemble is the only studio you could really make that argument for but since Microsoft doesn't give a shit about PC gaming anymore and Ensemble is an RTS studio, it was only a matter of time before they got the boot. Forza and Turn 10 has much more longevity in this market, even if you don't realize that.

In terms of revenue, Windows is far and away the largest gaming platform in the world, so it's an incredibly important part of Microsoft's business

What was that you were saying?

[maxy]

...

You know,I now really believe that you are 10 years old...

And obviously this GT stuff is hurting you badly.

But don't worry Kevin Butler will come to your room tonight,Kirby and Banjo too

Be excited...he will bring big glowing thing that you have been dreaming about

yea, umad.

[TripleA]

So they made a statement that's completely true.

What you meant to say was they made a statement that completely contradicts your previous comment.

[TripleA]

I didn't know Methodis was in here 

[TripleA]

Anyways, back to Gran Turismo.

I wonder if the karts will be customizable 

[Cormacaroni]

Go-karting was the logical endpoint of the GT automobile physics model, I suppose.

[Third]

Some new car porn:

The go-kart video looked awful.  Driving around in a circle...yawn.

Everything else from gamescom looked incredibly hot though.  Realtime weather changes?  Amazing.

[BlueTsunami]

I haven't played a racing simulator since GT3. I think I may be up for this.

*buys GT5*

*Remembers that he has to memorize each track and the best lines for optimal timing that requires constant restarts*

Wrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

You have to be a total sucker to still buy Sony bullshots after 15 years...

[Sho Nuff]

I heard they're delaying it by another 9 months to add

spoiler (click to show/hide)

BICYCLES

[close]

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

that had to be worth the extra 18 months of development time it added, it just had to.

[ferrarimanf355]

Old and busted... (points to GT5)
... new hotness. (points to the REAL racing GOTY 2010)

Only a sucker wouldn't know about photo mode.

[Cravis]

By the time they're ready to release this they're going to cancel it and move development to the PS4. 

I was thinking I'd like to try a good racing sim and searched Amazon the other day for a cheap copy of this only to realize it hasn't been released yet. Oh well what's another 8-12 months waiting after it's release for the inevitable drop to $19.99.

Thanks for letting us know when you're going to buy Gran Turismo 5.

[Sho Nuff]

Is Kaz capable of releasing a game inside a console's life cycle!?

What will happen with PS4!?

[chronovore]

Sony even has a 10 year plan for Gran Turismo?

It'll be 10 years, but it's not exactly a "plan."
