Yamuchi confirms damage and community update for GT this year

killer_trap - 635 days 20 hours ago

i hate to break it to you. but if you think you'll only spend 20 pounds till the rest of 2008 then you're mistaken. somewhere along the line we'll have to pay for the extra content.

Fishy Fingers - 635 days 20 hours ago

You might be right there dude, but honestly, I don't think they will charge us. The extra content might help to encourage people would didnt think the current Prologue is worth the cash to re-evaluate it and maybe make the purchase.

The more people that they can get playing prologue, the more they are likely to sell when the full GT is released.

I don`t think that`s what he was saying.....

He`s just happy he can get it for $20, for $20 whats the disc/DL is great. Battlefield: Bad Company should be $20. (i don`t know how to do pounds) -_-

There has already been an update to GT5P that added over 30 vehicles and a new course, and it was free. And he calls this an "update," not DLC. Updates are free. Look at Warhawk, that has had numerous updates that have added features to the game. I'm not saying GT5P won't have any downloadable content (I.E. stuff you pay for), because Warhawk has that too, but the major updates to the game are free, you just have to pay for the new maps. I get the impression that this update will be free, with the car damage and stuff. It'd be moronic to pay extra money just so the cars look damaged when you wreck them. It'll be free, I'm sure of it.

Also, GT5P has tons of new content all the time, with the Top Gear channel which is consistently updated so you can have tons of new content about real life cars and driving and stuff.

this isn't really surprising for me, i have been following his ramblings on damage for a while. glad to know it will come this yr:). Hopefully we get a track or 2 or maybe a couple of tracks as well via update.

@killertrap they already said they don't want to charge anyone for any updates. 40 bucks is a harsh price and they know it. The producer for the american version said it in an interview.

GT5p is basically a beta test for the full GT, they've stated this a number of times, so expect more features to be added for free as they work toward the full build release.

They are still gonna complain that the tire noise (screeching) is the same as before.

Im still buying it .. Cant wait . But i must admit the tire noise(screeching) and the weird"wind wave(Ouuuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiishhhhh h)" noise when you hit the sand trap is very anoying and needs some work.

I'd seen a few pretty videos on the net.

I'd heard it was a Prologue.

But I went on Youtube and saw it in action and holy macaroons it looks great. I looked at a Froza Comaprison which I don't care about, but I do prefer the 3rd person dirving to 1st person, and the richsness of the paintwork, and the glow of the lights.

I was blown away.

"Again and Again and Again"

I havent seen/heard/read anywhere previously that he said damage will be in Prologue. I think perhaps your confusing this with the Full GT having damaged confirmed several times.

edit: Dora, I watched that video interview (rediculous voice over), and if I remember correctly the question was referring to GT5, something along the lines of "can we expect to see damage in GT5?"

Either way, we're getting it and I'm stoked, cant wait for the update, I'm gonna jump in my F40 in Daytona, turn that sucker around and go head on at some poor NPC at 200mph! CARNAGE!

Fishy Fingers - 635 days 19 hours ago

Yes and No. If your buying it purely for prologue, i'd say no, get the cheaper wheel. But if your a fan of driving games definetly YES, the G25 is fantastic and worth every penny if you get the use out of it, remember pretty much all future driving games will support it.

Basically, you should never need to buy another wheel, so if you see yourself playing more driving games in the future go get it. It wont disappoint.

memots - 635 days 18 hours ago

I got a G25 and its my favorite gaming device but if you buy only for gt5 its a lot of money.
Im into Race sim on pc and i have many use for my g25 i personnaly wouldnt buy only for my ps3.

On the ps3
I played Gt-Hd demo with the g25 and the Japanese demo of gt5p and it was a lot of fun.
If you buy that wheel then get GRID too and DIRT . Get some use out of it.

And when buy it let me know and add me to your psn list we will race :)

Well, if anybody remembers GT2, it had a wet track. Who knows, maybe weather effects are in the pipeline, as is damage.

But I agree, after damage modeling, weather effects should come next. And if anybody can pull it off, it's polyphony.

If you ever played GTR2 on pc.. in a night race with rain, in full sim mode. Youll know why weather effect is needed.

It was in an article where a PD developer said we would have damage modeling back last year. This was the first time we heard that damage would be included but it was still unconfirmed by PD.

In the article he also claimed dynamic weather would be included. This gives possible credibility to the dynamic weather. I still cant find the dang story though.

Some_One_Plays - 635 days 16 hours ago

I don't think you realize that Gran Turismo is suppose to simulate real race tracks with actual events. So you're not going to see snow with these cars. Do you ever see nascars driving in the snow? I do think some weather effects can be in their like rain, maybe snow falling only (depending on the place)...etc. Something that can be unexpected when setting up an even in real life.

why does it hurt..even if i owned a ps3 I would steer far away from this demo...it would hurt someone who cared..this guy was saying the game is "full perfect"..and its far from it...if it had damage from the start then it would be the perfect demo. @caligamer..do you hit up the morons that dont own xbox games and biatch about them...you dont huh...im in long beach..you want too come shut me up? Its my opinion on this game..you can call it trolling but you think I dont have my opinions on xbox games your wrong. I do care about the game..in fact..if the ps3 was the be all console it was hyped up too be I would own one as we speak...did you even think of that.

CaliGamer - 635 days 12 hours ago

So because others do it you also need to? What a lame excuse. Face the FACT, you want this game and it eats you up inside that you can't have it. I couldn't care less about any game on the 360 so I generally don't comment, if I did I would. Your just a closet GT5P lover, as I said, man up b!tch.

All that ramblin, all tender because of hype, didn't see you complaining when Halo 3 was hyped till no end and came out with graphics that couldn't hold up to 3rd party devs and gameplay that while entertaining brought nothing new to the table that we haven't seen before. Save your silly ass logic for someone else fool.

LOL, still mad because Sony tried to hype their console. Your probably one of those fools that resents his father for not taking him fishing when he was younger and holds onto that sh!t. Get over it bro, don't believe everything you read and use some common sense sometimes. I swear, some fools are so gullible.

"LOL, still mad because Sony tried to hype their console"
so you agree sony tried too hype their console..you own a ps3 right..and you have the nerve too call someone else gullible when you cant even get a decent multiplatform game to run well on the ps3...and you sit here and complain when someone who has their eyes open and aint falling for the bullsheit wants too comment on the state of that certain console...face it..everyday another story comes across these pages you kick yourself and wonder when developers will get it right...its been more then a year and some of us are still waiting.

oh by the way...halo 3 sucked..the only thing that saved it for me was multi player..I have said this when I first got the game and passed it.

CaliGamer - 635 days 7 hours ago

You are an angry SOB, funny stuff. Anyway I will skip over all the crap you posted at the beginning as you just go off about some nonsense that wasn't even in my post about GTA4 or some such crap.

The difference with me is that I chose Sony based on past performance, not out of some sad sense of being let down by a company that has to sell a product. I have owned all the PS systems and they have never let me down, most of my fondest gaming memories are with my PS systems, the product is obviously quality and they obviously know what they are doing as a company.
It's cool if you like MS, it's your money, but I am not impressed by one year lead, I look for the long term and it is a safe statement that MS really didn't have the long term in mind when they designed the 360.
I have 10+ years to justify my support of Sony buddy, what do you have? A lead because they launched early that is quickly eroding, hardware reliability issues that are unprecedented in the industry, and being outsold in 2007 even with the heavy hitters. Yea, your eyes are sure open, no one can pull one over on you, you're just too sharp, ROFL.

Enough with the hype talk, you sound like the same jackass that goes online and sees an advertisement for male enhancement and buys 18 tubes and gets mad when he doesn't see any results. It's called marketing and you take EVERYTHING with a grain of salt. Sony might have hyped (MS has done that too), but MS denies at the expense of their customers so MS is no saint.

What is funny is that many of the statements that Sony made were in reference to things that would be theoretically possible, but you have the mentality that is prevalent this generation, and that is wanting everything now, and that shows a fundamental flaw in your understanding of the progression of technology or R&D.

FYI, the first year 360 owners were waiting for quite a lot, and they didn't have nearly the amount of good games that the PS3 had it's first year, remember that when you compare your precious XBOX to a console that came out a year later.

You are a joke man, but you have made me and my girlfriend smile so thank you for being such a fool for our amusement. Take it easy.

Your last bubble, better make it good, I'm not holding my breath tho. LOL.
