Gran Turismo 5 Will Include a Track Editor and Go Karts
Written Tuesday, June 22, 2010 by Richard Walker

Having been delayed countless times, Gran Turismo 5 has been stretching the patience of PS3 gamers for some time now. But as the saying goes, good things come to those who wait, and it looks like Gran Turismo 5 is set to deliver several good things.

Polyphony has been hard at work on bringing several new features to the Real Driving Simulator, the most significant of which is the addition of go karting, a track editor and even stunt arenas.

"These innovations are twinned with the option to join millions of like-minded individuals globally within the Gran Turismo community and to find a driving experience to suit, whether that is taking on the Top Gear test track, chucking cars around stunt arenas, go-karting, creating and sharing your own track or intense head-to-head races," said SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida on PlayStation.com.

With more than 1000 licensed vehicles, damage modelling, 3D support and 32-player online multiplayer, it looks as though the delays will have actually been worth it.

Gran Turismo 5 is set to launch in November 2010, and there'll reportedly be no further changes to the release window.

I still think it's crazy they can get that kind of graphical quality at 1080p while lesser games struggle at 720p

WTF is wrong with all the other PS3 developers?

most developers aren't allowed 5 years to make a game

G4TV released a new Gran Turismo 5 preview yesterday and aside from more car porn, a few interesting tidbits pertaining to NASCAR could be seen for a few seconds. We spotted five items worth noting in the screenshot below;

1. While we’ve seen a lot of NASCAR footage in GT5 previews, and we’ve heard a lot as well, it appears we’ll only get to race 8 cars per race. While the game can run “up to” 16 cars a race, that doesn’t appear to apply to NASCAR.
2. The attention to detail. We know Polyphony Digital are perfectionists, but this is some insane stuff. Here you see the Target decals on the pillar, exactly where it is in real life. We can’t wait to get this game in-house and have a full look around the cockpit.
3. Mirrors are an interesting feature in racing games. You’re essentially rendering the game from a different perspective in real-time while the player races. Here we see both the main rear-view mirror and the side mirror many drivers rely on due to the constraints of their racing seats. And of course everything in the mirrors is rather detailed.
4. It may be hard to see but it appears to be the right hand of the driver. Now, drivers are nothing new in Gran Turismo but it’s the small things that add up to make a great experience. Last we checked, however, all drivers in-game will be GT branded.
5. We’re not sure how old the G4TV preview build was but it appears Polyphony Digital still has a bit of tweaking to do if they want to get it absolutely right. Here you can see the lap time is a 47:700, which is about 1.675 seconds faster than the pole speed set by Juan Pablo Montoya at Indy a few weeks ago. Granted, the game still has a few months before it ships, but it’ll be interesting to see if PD fixes this or not.

That all said, and we don’t mean to throw EA under the bus here, but this could very well be the best NASCAR game to come along for fans in years, and that’s saying a lot considering this isn’t a full-fledged NASCAR game. While 8 cars on track seems a bit low, we’ve also been promised heavy damaging to these cars so it would make sense that the developers needed to limited what was on screen. Whether these are the final numbers, only PD know, so we’ll have to wait until November 2nd to find out.

Thanks KARMA.

I was SO LOOKING FORWARD to getting this, until I saw the price

So the regular game will do for me, just got to decide wheres the best place in the UK to order it from now or just wait and get it from ASDA or Tescos on launch day...

Will this be compatible with those clutch pedal steering wheel systems?

https://www.justpushstart.com/2010/08/28/gran-turismo-5-offers-hard-drive-install/

Hard Drive install is a big issue for gamers who have less space on the PlayStation 3. With Gran Turismo 5 coming very soon, expect a hard drive install when it comes out.

According to Kazunori Yamauchi, the game has an optional hard drive install but to run the game, a 256MB space is required. The amount of space needed for the install is at least 10GB and gamers can expect a smooth experience. If this is indeed true, 10GB is indeed one of the biggest game that has an install on the PlayStation 3.
