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."

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. ^_~

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.

2.3 - I highly doubt it
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

18 - they release gt psp in october
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.

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?
