PlayStation Move Behind Gran Turismo 5 Delay?

Having let slip themselves that the game will support the PlayStation Move peripheral, it seems Sony's decision to implement motion controls into Gran Turismo 5 is the reason for the game's lengthy delay.

Wouldn't the wheel work better than the Move in GT5?

[RonXD]

Use a wheel then..?

[Blaze929]

of course. but that's not the point - what better game to help push MOVE than Gran Turismo? That's the goal

Actually i'm pretty sure that they are calling the ps3 eye a move now :) the thing they were implementing was the ability to look around your cars cockpit by turning your head... and that only requires ps3 eye.

[StanLee]

Can't understand why anyone would want to use Move to play GT5. Seems like a niche few would care, so why delay the game just to add Move functionality? Seems the implementation of 3D is more behind the delay but again, who would care? How many of the install base will really have 3D to enjoy the functionality?

[nefertis]

Idk about ps move working in gt5, I think it will feel weird playing a driving game using ps move. Playb3yond

[Fishy Fingers]

Probably not the sole reason, I expect it's more about maximising the games exposure by releasing it around the holiday season. Although that dies coincide nicely with the Move launch.

If the game were ready and Sony were desperate to launch they would, Move support could of been patched in later, which is proven to be possible, because of that I doubt the reason for GT5 launch window was determined purely by the peripheral.

[badkolo]

wow it stinks in here, but when natal is mentioned for a racing game it gets crapped on, but move for gt5 is all of a sudden ok.

[rob6021]

I honestly can't see the 'invisible' steering wheel being nearly as precise as a controller.

[Meryl]

pretending you have a wheel in your hands is not fun and is not the best way to drive a car:(:(

[ReBurn]

To be fair, holding a stick in your hand and pretending to drive with it isn't all that much fun, either. And there's nothing to say that you couldn't hold a plastic wheel and drive with Natal, much like the wheel that the Wii's nunchuck is placed in. Wouldn't be surprised to see Move get it's own clip-on plastic wheel, either.

[PiTCHBLaCK]

Physical object versus Invis object?, I'll go with Physical object, that way at least when people see me they know I'm playing a game.

@waltercross

If you were worried about what people thought of you, you probably wouldn't be playing video games in front of others in the first place.

With that said, If someone saw you using Natal, is it so hard to explain to them that you are indeed using Natal?

Both Move and Natal will not satisfy the hardcore gamer, so why can't everyone stop pretending they will by sparring over which is better, especially when no one has even used either.

Good Day

[stevenhiggster]

TBH I don't really think Move will be too good with GT5 but it will certainly be better than Natal, imaginary wheel!? pew,pew,pew.

[lonix]

Steer and oops it's too late the corner is 2 seconds ago brake and uhoh who forgot to put brakes in the car

[ndibu]

Move for gt5. . .somebody please enlighten me, my x360-fried brain cannot process this, probably due to all the shooter games i play, how will Move work with this game?
Gear shift? Side mirrors adjuster thingy? Manual window winder?
Never mind :) i figured it out, track editor!! I knew putting down Halo would help me recover my senses!
It only does everything, including patching a game for Move support instead of coming up with lame excuses for delaying a great looking game. . .no wait that can't be right

[PS360_37]

thats a good point at the end.

They are delaying GT5 to add Move instead of patching it on later. That just seems kinda funny to me. It almost reminds me of the 3D trend. A couple of movies will film in 3D while the rest tack it on after they filmed in 2D because it was popular. Thus making the 3D in the movie terrible.

Lets hope Move doesn't mess with an already proven formula in GT5.

[claterz]

Move only took a few days to apply to SOCOM, why would it take to long to add it to GT5? Move is obviously not the reason for the delay. People complain about developers realeasing half finished games, then they complain about a game being finished to near perfection lol.

[UltimateIdiot911]

You just can't make everyone happy. Shame.

Well, as long as they know that their fans understand their goal, that's who they really need to cater to unlike another company that we all know that has the initial SE.

I honestly would love paying 60, heck I'll pay 80 or something for their collector edition if it exist for a finish perfected game over some half ass, 20 DLC waiting/10 patches in the near future game.

[Narutone66]

my G25 steering wheel to play GT5 than Move. It's the best way to play. Add a steering wheel mount and a racing seat and you're set.

[TomMcBaum]

From a game optimization perspective, 3-D is much more "difficult" than motion controls. For 3-D, the devs have to deliver twice the amount of content -- probably at half the res, and possibly with fewer polygons as well, just to achieve the effect. Adding support for "Move" is less challenging from a technical perspective, although getting the right "feel" for Move is something that is more art than science. Polyphony always excels in its artistic aspects; I expect GT5 to be a great showcase for the PS3. I only hope that the number of polygones isn't reduced too much due to the 3-D option's demands.

[thor]

I hate that they are adding pointless things to GT5 that I won't use such as 3D (gimmick to the core) and move (wiimote knockoff, can't wait to waggle my way to the finish line). The best way to play GT5 is with a force feedback wheel. A controller is second best, and there's no need for crap like move. 3D will only be accessible to 0.1% of the people who play, because there's no way in hell most people are going to spend thousands on a new 3DTV just for a stupid gimmick.

If they HAD to delay the game, why not add:
- More tracks
- Livery customization
- Damage
- Weather (we haven't seen this and I'm dubious about its existence)
- 3D trees
- Better AI
- Day/Night cycles (not confirmed yet, have only seen night & day)
- Improved online - maybe split-screen online, lobby system, much more

I could go on and on about features they could add, but in the end it's going to feel like a stripped down racer compared to what it should have been given all this development. With extra features like 3D and Move support that most people won't be able to use.

[UltimateIdiot911]

I honestly can't see adding Move support taking too much time. 3d maybe but not Move. Who knows, PD is probably using this time to cram in more things.

[thor]

Yeah I hope so. My hope is that at E3 we'll see a HUGE reveal and loads of new features will be announced, turning GT5 into my dream racing sim. Though what worries me are the demonstrations that show a very slow progression and few new features.

[Narutone66]

track editor ala Modnation Racer and we're good to go.

[thor]

Would be brilliant and there'd be no way for people to complain about it...

... oh wait.

The GT hardcore complain about ANYTHING that isn't "what GT is about." As soon as I suggest that the AI needs improving on the forums, the GT fanboys went up in arms. "That's not what GT is about WAAAAAAHHH WAAAAAHHHH it's not an arcade racer the AI are SUPPOSED to be lifeless drones WAAAAHHH that's how GT has always been WAAAAHHHH!"

As soon as I suggest to them that GT needs to be more realistic they say "WAAAHHH you don't want realism in GT WAAAHHH if you crash into the side of a wall that's your problem not the game's WAAAHHHH if you crash into a wall to gain an advantage the game shouldn't penalize you for it you should be a gentleman and retire WAAAHHHH!!"

So I can see them reacting VERY negatively to any suggestion that a track editor would be a good thing.

Of course if one were announced they'd be all over it claiming it's the best thing to happen to the series ever. Like they have done with weather and night racing, even though those things are "not what GT is about".

[Ilikegames76]

You should have put"" on the hardcore word as a lot of GT fans want the AI improve as to make it more realistic.
@Narutone66
As for the track editor, it will be icing on the cake for me if it ever comes true.

[bunfighterii]

I don't see this being a worthwhile addition to GT5.

I don't have alot of faith in the playability of motion controls for 'hardcore' experiences. Wii tennis was fun in bursts... but there's a reason I sold my Wii and bought my PS3 a while ago...
