Cars from GT PSP will transfer to GT5

The feature was revealed during an interview at the conference. Kazunori pushed the fact that he wanted the player to feel like they actually owned the car, that it wasn't just a car in a game, which led to the feature. "Whether it be from PSP to GT5, to even future renditions, GT6 and on, you can carry over the cars as YOUR cars, as something you own, even if the system changes, you can keep it."

[FrankFoxJaegar]

thats cool... i wonder if ever gran turismo from here on out will have that forward compatibility?

[rockleex]

So that my cars can travel BACK TO THE FUTURE... through forward compatibility! ^_^

[PirateThom]

The De Lorean was in GT4, if I recall..

[eagle21]

the cars will be stunning when they are transferred into GT5 heaven. AND GT6!!!! The king is unstoppable. :)

[Ninver]

woooooh can't wait. this game is gonna take over my life. they don't call it the definitive racing sim for nothing.

[rockleex]

Link doesn't work. But I do believe there was a DeLorean in GT4.

@Dirty Beaver

They don't call Gran Turismo the "Definitive Racing Sim". But Turn10 claims Forza 3 is the "Definitive Racing Game this Generation".

Polyphony calls Gran Turismo "The Real Driving Simulator", you can even check the boxart. ^_~

[sniper-squeak]

he mentiones GT6! :O *imagines the graphics in that game* - they'l probably surpass reality..!

[The_Count]

As long as I can't count the cars as they transfer.

Ah ah ah.

[shadowmoses623]

I Hope GT5 comes out this year!

[StanLee]

Play.com said they got the November release date from an official source so it may actually be coming this year! Can't wait!

[Ninver]

if it does then it will be a megaton release for the ps3 for sure. i seriously can't imagine how much copies it will sell along with the inevitable price cut.

[DrWan]

GT PSP is coming out in October, they won't be so stupid to push it out at the same time to cannibalize each other's sales. you know the hardcore will buy both but they dont' have enough money and time to do both.

[The_Count]

I'm happy as long as I can count the days and the review scores of GT5.

Ah ah ah.

[KingKionic]

Interesting feature...

[RememberThe357]

You gotta love the PSP to PS3 connectivity.

[PirateThom]

Gran Turismo 6 confirmed!!

Wait... this means my Celica GT-Four will be forever mine

[rockleex]

Why disagree? There ISN'T an Xbox Portable.

Unless you know something the rest of us don't? O_o

N4G is getting weirder by the day.

[Uzesgelen_Goo]

agreed bubble+ !(^^)!

[infamous_27]

All 800 cars?!?

[TheHater]

.

[PirateThom]

Yeah, that's a point, if these are going to be cross compatible, then GT5 must have the same car list...

[TheHater]

Or a lot more.

[PirateThom]

Does GT PSP contain the WRC, NASCAR or F1 cars?

[na2ru1]

did show a little rally footage. please let there be. please let there be.

[Boody-Bandit]

if GT for the PSP is the same game as GT5 for the PS3?
Same cars, tracks, events, features and options, etc?

Either way this is an excellent feature.
I am definitely picking up a PSPgo and GT when it's released.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Gran Turismo 5 will make you **** bricks.

[jcgamer]

:)

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

I love it when developers sync up portable versions with the real version, or just add transferables.

the Ratchet and Clank Series comes to mind.

[The Great Melon]

I remember after finishing the first Ratchet that I was delighted that the second had discounts and other stuff with the game save. Hope they keep doing the sort of stuff in the future.

[Theonik]

In the new ratchet and clank you will have the ability to get the returning weapons quicker with you tools of destruction save.

[cyclindk]

I haven't bought or wanted to buy a racing game in a decade (except for burnout, soon to download), but god I want GT 5... and the little PSP brother, Little Turismo ;)

[FPShooter]

This is a great feature. I will be picking up the Go and GT day one.

[Myst]

GT may very well be my first racing game for PSP as well as PS3...

[The Peoples ARMPIT]

Uncharted2 > Gears of war2

Killzone2, Resistance2 (soon MAG) > Halo franchise

GOW3 > Ninja Blade lol

GT5:P (better yet GTPSP) > Forza3

Heavy Rain > Alan Waits

inFAMOUS > Crackdown (and soon to be crackdown2)

Undersiege > Halo Wars

Demons Soul > all rpg's on the turdfixme to date

White Knight Chronicles applys the finishing blow to the rpg genre.

Left for Dead1&2 = 2002 graphics, physics Turd

The Last Guardian > whole 360 library to date

LOL no matter what games the turdfixme has, the ps3 will always have a better quality title that embarrasses it. The toosh!ty really is the epitome of an outdated turd.

SPREAD THE NEWS. EDUCATE THE NOOBS!!!

The whole turdfixme knob squad are the bums of this console gen. No games to call your own on the poor mans console. I guess it's true when they say "you get what you pay for" lol. Epic fail on your behalf.

[-MD-]

lol wtf?

"I guess it's true when they say "you get what you pay for" well that applies to xbox live but not so much the 400$+ PS3. I actually feel kinda ripped off.

[Ninver]

with the release of gt5 after gtpsp the momentum will be crazy. the same amount of people who buy gtpsp will no doubt buy the definative next gen version on the ps3.

[keysy420]

this is awesome news cant wait for both titles psp and ps3. oh sh1t im excited

[Bren86]

What about the prologue? They said there will be a treat or something.

[onanie]

Well, just don't delete your GT5P saves yet :) If PD was savvy, they would announce some transferability to GT5 - i'm sure this will spike GT5P sales even more...

[PirateThom]

Gran Turismo 4 allowed you to carry credits over from Gran Turismo 3 and add them to GT4s starting total (to give anyone who kept their save access to a better car in GT4 from the start) as well as licence tests already done in 4 Prologue.

I don't think they'll allow you to carry cars over, just because you'll end up starting the game with all the best cars already.

[TwistedMetal]

gt5 in novemeber this gives a month time which is enough time to not cannibalize the games. you want gt to be in everyones minds and see how awesome the handheld game is and unlock all the handheld cars to port them to the gt5 ps3 game that comes out in novemeber. this will boost overall sales and even more people will buy becuase they are connected games.

[unicronic]

Is GT5 really scheduled for NOV? I wasn't aware of that. Given that no real substance as shown at E3 they are either really keeping things under wraps or behind schedule.

Either way the PSP>PS3 integration on GT sounds great and I only wish the dev's could use this cross platform feature more. Perhaps the rumoured PSPgo AppStore will open this ability up?

[ultimolu]

O-O Wow.

[Jihaad_cpt]

GT PSP confirmed to have to be purchased on the first day so I can get working on my car collection in GT5 :)

[electricgta]

wow if the thing where u can customise your car with real parts is true thats gunna be f***kn sweeeeeeet!
even though without that it would still be th ebest racing game ever 4 sure..

[gamingisnotacrime]

GT PSP will release earlier, and this means the cars one gets on PSP are going to be in GT5 the FIRST day one gets it. Thx for the good news, cant wait

[I-SEE-YOU]

This game is the only racing game to buy.
