Gran Turismo 5 Track Editor Confirmed By Polyphony Digital

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.

This is not a duplicate story! This is the word from the Developers of the game, not from the DigiExpo.

Seeing as there is no bots, there must be absolutely no way to spin this one.

Forza was beat in every category, and now it is beat in categories it couldn't even manage to show up for. Enjoy Forza 1.7 while we enjoy a true genre innovator.

I wonder if Turned 10 is delusional enough to run their mouths ever again.

Nah, they'll just release Forza 4 in two months. Who needs innovation and quality control when you have propaganda, marketing, and an incredibly stupid target market?

No, Modnation Racers had this from the start. Everyone knows that's gonna be miles better than GT5.

Joking by the way.

You know, I really don't like racing games (I suck at them) but there's a part of me that wants to get this.

GT Will never have the community features that Forza has, that and Forza is a fun game to play.
Edit: This feature sounds better than what I thought it was. I hope we can download others (Guessing we can).

1.17 - SO!
Without these amazing features, GT5 isn't any better than Mario Kart Wii:

Does it have an in-game replay feature? NO! Does it have realistic physics, like a car that endlessly rolls into a wall? NO! Can you paint your car, which adds absolutely nothing to the "sim" gameplay? NO! Does it have damage that half of the time doesn't register? NO! Does it have worse graphics than a multiplatform game like NfS: Shift? NO! Is it definitive? NO!

Without those incredible features, GT5 is destined to fail!

GT5 is already ahead of anything else before this feature was announced. This will put it ahead of any racing game until GT7 on PS4.

As I said many times before. GT5 will be the highest rated GT game and takes off where GT3 left off.

GT haters are going to find out just how big GT really is and how insignificant Forza is to
GT like I have been telling them. In their insecurity they bashed the biggest PS exclusive franchise and one of the most respected devs in gaming and in the auto industry. I feel sorry for them.

This is awesome news. I was a little worried that there won't be as many point to point rally tracks as i'd wish. But with the track editor, people are going to make all the point to point rally tracks I could ever wish for

Codemasters got the rights for that now, but we might see 2008/07 cars in the game. Can't remember where I heard that so t might be bollucks

@Ultimate Idiot
LOL That's funny actually. My dad's a big nascar fan and I'm always giving him sht about not understanding how he enjoys it when all they do is drive in a circle for hours on end. "Number 45 making a left turn now.....oh my god, here comes another left turn".

@cmrbe
I agree. I think this GT should prove to be huge. This feature sounds pretty damn awesome itself. I am expecting big things from this game though (as if things aren't big enough already). I've always enjoyed the GT games. A-Spec was probably my favorite. Then came GT4, and while I still liked it, it wasn't as great as 3. Just seemed like they got a bit stagnant (though PD at a stagnant state is still great--says alot for them). But they didn't have any competition then so they became a tad bit complacent. Now they have Turn 10 in their face (talking crap all the time) and they have a decent competitor, in the Forza series, to push them. I fully expect them to step up to that challenge and 110% deliver. Can't wait for this game. Actually this game and Mod Nation both and I'm set for racing games this generation.

Really can't wait to get on that track editor and also see what others come up with.

1.28 - Yea.. really huge...
We can definately expect some crazy dude, especially the modders to come up with real life tracks that wont be featured in GT5.

Now.. that could mean this game could potentially have thousands upon thousands of tracks, including real life and fantasy tracks.

BUT (a big BUT)

Only if this story is true... if it is true.. that omfg, all the wait have been well worth it !

Yea. That's actually one of the first things that popped in my head when I read this. Whether tracks HAD to be circuits or not. Would be nice to see some point a to point b tracks. I could really see drag racing taking off even moreso though. Especially if PD delivers with a very extensive car customizing setup (and by that I mean customizing transmissions, engines, and other car parts...not custom paint jobs-which i don't care about at all).
