This really is, it changes the gameplay alot! Painting just changes the looks, but nothing alters the gameplay. With a track editor, Boom! New track all the time!

I don't think people realize just what this means for GT5. It single handedly puts GT5 head and shoulders above the competition. I cannot believe the effort PD has put into this game. And people hate on GT5 because of the long development cycle lol please.

I've read on gtplanet earlier this year, that there will be a track editor, there you can use parts of the existing tracks and then you can combine them to a new track.

With the recent rumors and videos that have been going around about Gran Turismo 5 having a track editor, we decided to contact the developers to find out if it was true or not. Now, we have a official answer.

They were kind enough to give us a quick response and this is what a representative said:(Take note, translated from Japanese.)

“Yes it will have a track editor. You will be able to rebuild a track from scratch or edit the tracks that are already put in Gran Turismo 5.”

WOWOW, thats certain then, from PD themselves :O

Yeah, it sucks that you have to wait for Turned 10 to copy this feature as well. Then you can have your wish! Until then, you have to buy a PS3 and use the feature in a real simulator.

Well, you could buy a PS3 and get ModNation, if you want to see it implemented in a Forza-like racer.

I don't even like racing sims, but these guys won't let me not buy the game. They just keep throwing stuff at me till I can't refuse!

It's like I say I don't want it and they're like;
PD: What if we add this.
Me: No.
PD: Well look at these graphics.
Me: No
PD: Okay, check this feature.
Me: I can't refuse anymore, that is awesome!

incredible or underwhelming.

Incredible if you can shape the tracks yourself but in terms of turns as well as elevation. Underwhelming if it just means you can vary the start and end points or different paths from existing tracks.

I hope it's the former.

BTW: GT5 Prologue >>Forza 3 says Eurogamer: DF

Digital Foundry put up a Forza 3 vs GT5 Prologue comparison and some people are trying very hard to keep this exciting news item hidden from you by keeping this off the front page of N4G through various well-known tricks.

Here it is:

http://n4g.com/NewsCom-4200...

GT5 Prologue wins by a landslide. So much so that the writer apologies not just for saying so but for Turn10 with unfounded speculation about their development priorities.

Turns out that Forza 3 doesn't even have AF enabled.

Copied from another comment:

Forza 3 "compared with GT5 Prologue?

+ Replay mode has slightly better motion blur
+ V-synced to avoid tearing

- GT5P has far more sophisticated lighting
- GT5P in 720P has 4xMSAA (double of Forza 3)
- GT5P in 1080P mode has 50% higher resolution but still has 2xAA
- GT5P is processing twice as many cars
- GT5P has tons of transparencies like dust-clouds
- GT5P has lots of effects (like heat haze) that Forza 3 simply does not"

PirateThom - 34 days 14 hours ago

If it's real, I would also lean towards it being more of a literal "track editor" rather than a full "track creator". Making adjustements to tracks already in the game, via tire walls or rumble strips to create chicanes.

Agree(3) | Disagree(1) | Report

Karum - 34 days 13 hours ago

I think if this is true then what Pirate Thom has mentioned is how it'll likely be.

Either way we should wait on official confirmation in English before getting too excited.

Gran Turismo 5 will already have more tracks with or without a track editor.

I recently started playing Forza 3 a couple of days ago, so I decided to count the actual number of tracks Forza 3 really has.

Forza 3 only has 24 tracks with over 136 variations of those 24 tracks.

Half of those tracks aren't even real race tracks, so why it is even considered to be a sim is just plain ridiculous.

The fact that Turn 10 claims to have over a hundred tracks, when they actually only have 24 tracks, makes them look even more pathetic than they have already proven they are.
