I hate the fact that the GT series has always been a game of bumper cars.

Don't get me wrong, I love GT and I own almost every version ever made, but there are some glaring omissions that seemingly EVERY OTHER GAME has.

i fidn the lack of turn signals in all driving games disturbing. just reminds peopel to cut me off in real life.

since when do you see racers in actual races using turn signals? I can understand if we're playing nfs during street races but actual races.

headlights at least, and racers do use them. sometimes i just wanto take a drive like a normal person,

Outside of LeMans, what race cars use headlights? If there are night races for street cars headlights are on anyway. Does GT5 finally allow you to play any course during the day or the night? I know PGR does. Day, night, rain, snow, whatever you want for all courses.

Are they hinting at a possible Shutokou expressway course?

Would be nice cruising around with good physics for once. *looks at TXR series*

Would also be nice if they actually ever released this game.

I just saw this. If they really do let you drive around the Shuto Expressway, that will be amazing. It'll be like Midnight Club II all over again...sortaish. I'd love that, seriously.

I was gonna get a PS3 for other reasons anyway, but I'd totally forgotten about GT5. Here's hoping it actually gets released.

ohh that wangan type track looks cool!

another trailer here.

But we do get the rome circuit back it seems.

but still no date...

It's a different layout to the previous Rome circuits. Expect something like this to be the layout(green track):

Image size reduced, original size: 1024 x 658. Click here to view the image in its original dimension.

aaaaand still no vehicle damage outside of the one subaru WRC car they've been showing for months.

At this point I would be content with just hearing the release date.

Yay Nov 2nd...day after my birthday...already told my girlfriend what i wanted!

If their demo was any indication, there will still be no damage modeling. The playable demo at the sony booth was the same one they had at CES. The only new thing was they had a few of them running in 3D. Same cars, same tracks, felt like the same physics, and there was no real time damage. It's going to be a huge disapointment when the game ships without it.

Kart racing, stunts & a track creator.

If this is true, then I'm more pumped then ever. The more stuff the better! I'm glad Polyphony Digital heard me when I said this game better have so much stuff in it I won't need a new racing game till GT6. But watch them do something stupid like only allowing cars to get damaged in stunt mode.

800 cars will have blacked out windows and no cockpit view. Ouch.. talk about buzz kill. But I guess I'll be fine as long as I get 1 R32 GT-R with cockpit view.

Iduno, I think I'd rather them just release regular ol' Gran Turismo 5 three or four years ago and leave all the spin-off games (WRC, Nascar, Stunts, Karts) to a dedicated spin-off title. I can't express enough my frustration with GT5's delays. I guess when it finally comes out it will be amazing value and a lot of game (even if it does have 50 skylines, 30 silvias, and 20 Z cars), I am just absolutely sick of waiting. And considering the content amount, it could EASILY have been 2 or 3 games released over the past 6 years instead of making us sit and wait and play other games. I guess it's not all bad though; there are a lot of other great racing games

lulz on the cockpits though. Also only the few "premium" cars will get any kind of actual damage. The other 800 will get "Dirt, Scratches, and Dents." There's also a lovely disclaimer at the bottom "* Damage is not necessarily applied to all races in the game." *yawn*

You could always settle for blurry J-o vision

God damn it J, when did you snap those photos!? How did I not know that until now?

Anyway, wasn't surprised about the "no cockpit view" thing. I figured there was no way in hell they'd be able to do cockpits for all the bajillion cars they wanted to put into the game and still have it release in a reasonable amount of time. There just was no way. Anyone who thought otherwise was deluding themselves. I just figured they wouldn't go for the 800+ thing but would keep it down to how many cars they actually had details for (a la Forza). Oh well.

It'll be interesting to see what'll happen. If you really can switch on/off headlights and drive the shuto expressway, glorious.

You sir, have made me completely jealous. I didn't know you actually owned an R32.

now this is getting a bit to much, and i somewhat doubt if it's true but...

Dude, look five posts up. See anything familiar?

no...

to lazy to read stuff from above.

but still I find it crazy, I was just happy with all the stuff I could do in GT4.

And Katyusha from Super Robot Wars Legacy thinks the same about me >_>.

Well, I think it's guaranteed that whatever cars were featured in Prologue will retain their cockpit views for the full version.

Site didn't say anything about turning lights completely off for night locales, but premium cars both high and low beams, while standard cars get standard lights. I presume no hi+low for those cars at the same time for unlit circuits?

I didn't expect them to get the interior designs for all cars but the weather effects and racetrack editor is very intriguing. Depending on the extent that you can edit things.
