E3: Yamauchi: We could release GT5 now

191
According to the article: "I want to release it as fast as I can," Yamauchi told us, "but GT5 for us, when you talk about its status, it's at a point we can release it any time we want, but we can always keep working on it. It's very important for us to make sure everything is done perfectly and everything is done in detail."

It is 3 games in one so when it drops it will destroy all of the competition. The game has NASCAR (goodbye EA), Motorsport (goodbye Forza) Street (Bye Burnout and NFS: Shift).

They should allow the 3rd party publishers to make a little money before they drop the bomb.

This is why I respect the Devs so much. They are willing to treat the game as their babies and not compare with others (cough Forza cough). The devs could have easily taken a jab at Forza devs after the E3 conference when they announced that even a PSP game would have twice the cars Forza will have (the previuos day Forza devs were gloating over 400 cars fact.. man they must be feeling like asses), but these guys are professionals. And people still think that any racing game out there could compete with this...

A release date later this year would be fabulous. If it's released near the Forza release date, God help Forza... 50 million franchise would just steam role over it.

Make way for the real sim... and that too in 1080P 60FPS glory.

@1.2

I'm sorry but comparing the NFS series and the Burnout series to GT5/Forza is like apples and bananas, man.

Both are still delicious but completely different.

@1.2: Don't forget the WRC license. But yeah, comparing it to Burnout or NFS is pointless. Also I think comparing it to Forza is pointless since GT is car racing sim and Forza appears to be speedy and arcade like.

I think they are holding back because they know MS will have Halo: Reach and Gears 3 for Fall 2010. Next year Sony wants to be able to say ok besides GoW 3 which came out in March and Mod Kart racers that came out in April/May. We have Heavy Rain in June/August, GT5 in September, DC Universe in Oct, Resistance 3, Twisted Metal, FF14 in Nov... I hope they have Agent ready by then too, but I have a feeling that will be a 2011 release.

Edit: Forgot FFvs13.

Burnout isn't going anywhere. GT isn't competition for it at all. They're completely different racers. The other games you mentioned are definitely straight competition, though.

@Beast

Don't forget rally, that video of the beaten up Subaru Imprenza had my hopes high.

Although I don't think it's competing with Burnout or NFS (arcadey games), as it's not competing with Motorstorm or Wipeout.

GT5 will be a bundle pack in with the TGS announcement of the PS3 Slim. PS3 Slim will be out this November at $299.

For those of you wondering, that trailer is from a replay which is IN GAME...yes, the game looks that good. Yes damage is coming, in an interview just conducted yesterday Kazunori said he did not want to do damage until it could be done to the level of simulation that the GT franchise is known for.

If I were in Sony's marketing department...that is what I would do. Talk about IMPACT.

Patience leads to perfection. PS3 already has some amazing games coming out this year and next. GT5 is Sony's Killer game that will shift units and make people's HDTV's bleed.

It's well worth the wait. When it is released, it will drown all other racing games off the market.

If Sony were to release a new slim PS3 bundled with GT5 @ only 299.99 there would be heads exploding all over the globe. Massive giblets would take over the world!

3 things people would like to see, a slim PS3, GT5 and a price cut. Mix them all together and you have pure napalm.

1.18 - The difference between GT and Forza...
Kazunori Yamauchi: "My first and foremost concern right now is not about the game industry but it's more about the automobile industry. I'm very worried about it and I don't think it's a problem that's just limited to the United States. One of the reasons why we made this game now and are releasing it now is that we want teenagers to get into cars. That's something I had in mind when I created the game. Cars are fun and just wonderful to drive, and it's something we have to relay to younger generations and all over the world."

Gran turismo is like the mother of all racing games to me, the first 3-d racing game I ever played. Nice too hear there are still developers trying to make a perfect games and not only aiming to make the perfect game no mather what the costs.

Hope that gran turismo will be everything I expect it to be and more, one real racing game to rule them all.

Don't take me wrong forza 3 wil be very, very good but if time is an indication I'm looking out for this one. If looking at selling numbers

I am sure ps3 has a large audience of racing game fans waiting for an good racing game where I feel xbox 360 is the console for shooters it will be bigger and sell better than its younger brother Forza 3

I think it's best PD polishes it til it's a Mirror Shine, and release the game in conjunction with a price drop.

Perhaps that is their plan. A GT5 bundle and a price drop = massive shift of hardware sales.

1.29 - Well hopefully
This time GT wont be about Bumper cars driving on sculpture versions of real life racetracks. I want the cars to interact more with the environment. Car damage is a way in the right direction, but I want grass to feel like grass, sand feel like sand, tyrewalls feel like tyrewalls not like some stonewall.

weather should not be just some small graphical effect that might somewhat limit your vision.

I don't care about the amount of cars if the basics are not handled well enough. GT5 prologue was a big disappointment hopefully they have improved A LOT from it.

I can see there's a lot of different opinions about the racing games that are coming. Forza for the 360 and GT5 for the PS3. Forza is a great series, there's no doubt about that. As well, there's also great other racing games like Burnout, but games like Burnout are arcade racers that have no basis in realistic play. There's also others like DiRT already released that has a great rally racing approach, and DiRT 2 coming to both consoles as well as PC. But Gran Turismo is the great-grandfather of realistic, physics-based racing on consoles. I've been loving the series since GT3 on the PS2. I never played the original PS games, but since GT4 was so good, I cannot help but look forward to the perfectionism that Yamauchi-san is producing in GT5. Sh!t, in native 1080p at 60FPS and with so many other cars in a single race, also including up to and above 800 cars in the game, GT5 is my racer of choice. Some people might disagree with me, but since playing GT5 Prologue, it really inspires me. It really is a work of racing art, that will no doubt leave it's direct competitors in the dust. If they can include the impact damage that a lot of people are begging for, then so much the better.

i think one of the best announcements at sony conference was mod nation racers. That game is gonna be so awesome. Games with strong online communities (LBP) are awesome. The user made levels in LBP destroy the levels that are on the disc. I can't wait to see what the online community will create for this game. It's gonna be a blast.

Yea right, that's why they released a prologue. They were too afraid to compete with Forza 2 which scored higher than Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

If more cars and more tracks make the Prologue complete, I feel sorry for them. More doesn't equal quality.

+Both Forza games have over a 90% average rating.

+Both games offer customization which Gran Turismo doesn't. I'd rather drive a cool-looking slugbug then 1,000,000 people who have the same souped-up Honda Civic EX.

+Forza Motorsport is more realistic than Gran Turismo. One of Forza Motorsport's most-lauded features is its physics engine. Like any racing simulator, Forza Motorsport calculates a car's performance in real time using physical data (for example, the weight of a car's engine, its drag coefficient, etc.). The result is a driving game that many believe matches closely with real life. In 2005, Popular Science magazine tested this effect by inviting a professional race-car driver and an amateur car enthusiast to drive identical cars on an identical track in both Forza Motorsport and the real world. Each driver's track times matched closely from his performance on the real track and in virtual reality.

+Forza Motorsport came out during a heavy-racing period dominated by Gran Turismo. Gran Turismo came out in a period where Need for Speed was the king, LMFAO!

+Forza Motorsport may not be a household name like Gran Turismo but Gran Turismo has been out for over a decade. Forza has been here for only 5 years.

In the end, Forza will overtake Gran Turismo.
