Yamauchi: Gran Turismo 5 will be released sooner than expected |
Ó
One lucky Gran Turismo fan recently had a chance to actually talk to Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi about all things Gran Turismo. Of course, one of the things that came up was Gran Turismo 5's release date.
When told about fans expecting the game to be released in 2010, Yamauchi laughed it off and said that the game will be released sooner than expected. As vague as ever, but it does raise hopes of a possible 2009 release.
Yamauchi also gave out a few more details about the game, including the current status of damage implementation. Apparently, some companies like Porsche (apparently, their contracts with other game makers have ended so Polyphony Digital is negotiating with them) have already given Polyphony Digital the go signal to total their cars, but other manufacturers (Yamauchi mentioned Ferrari) are being stubborn about it, even for minor side mirror damage stuff.
Yamauchi also confirmed that the "rubber band effect", a performance boost that gives a player a slight increase in grip and power when he's more than 2 seconds behind the race leader, will be implemented in some races. Online races that feature qualifying laps won't have this feature, though.
Speaking of online races, Yamauchi also mentioned that private online races are coming, but they may not be available until after the game is released. Same thing goes for the Nürburgring track. Yeah, it's going to be in GT5.

I'm not going to get my hopes up for this, PD always sets a release date that get pushed back numerous times. GT4 was delayed about a year from it's original release date when it finally came out. Despite that, I still can't wait for it!
and now it's looking like end 2k9! :S
I may buy prologue after all..
I'll believe it when I see it
Don't worry lads, it'll all be gravy in the end! GT5 will rule all and break all driving barriers and then some! HOO-RAH!!! :)
I can't wait to race online with a Golf R32. I hope they add the Mk4. I drive one IRL, so I want to feel if it's any different from what I am driving.
And also the MK1 and MK2 Gti's.
I wonder if they got Saab in on it too. They are in Forza but not in Gran Turismo. I really hope that there are gonna be some Saab's. Would be fun to drive the 9000 Aero. :)
