Gran Turismo 5's Yamauchi: 'We could release it any time we want'

that's the PSP. way different from the PS3. and GT5 has been the main priority for them. GT PSP was just on the side.

the PSP version was certainly lacking the GT feel, I loved the first 2 games.. but it serves when I want to play a racer away from consoles

Just so you know it took them about a month or more to model a full car with a detail. Not hating on you it's just that you talk shit like you know.

Here feed on this.

"In GT and GT2, both for PS1, a designer spent a day to model a car. In GT3 and GT4, for PS2, the same worker spent a month modeling the same car due to the increased amount of polygons. In GT5 for PS3, they require six months to do the same job," Yamauchi explained.

This is art, perfection. Sex on wheels.They make changes that make the next game significantly better than the last and yet not change it too much where the player doesn't lose the Grand Tourismo experience. Sorry, got into it too much. The point is, sorry to say this, but Forza is becoming the new Halo or madden ....

and..... ?

Forza has nothing in terms of sheer depth that GT5 has.
GT is the true simulation. Forza is decent enough, but it doesn't quite have that Turismo feel to it.

I will still play both, as all driving lovers will (who own both consoles), but GT is the one everyone is waiting for.

It has the history, the dedication and overall, the class.

Run for your life.

NO!!! I want GT5!!

I'll admit - when you look at JUST the Forza 3 screen shots, it looks half decent, but when you compare them to GT5, the GT5 shots look SO MUCH BETTER!

because they dont care about forza...

Hopefully you are kidding. They probably don't even know what Forza is ... "Forza? That arcade racer where you drive around the city and paint cars?" obviously that game is Midnight Club LA (great game in it's own right) but the last thing PD is worried about is getting PWNED by Forza. Realistically they would be setting themselves up worse because the release of FF 13 (PS3 exclusive) in Japan happens in December ... Thats why it's been delayed. If they wait then you have two system sellers that don't step on each others toes. Tortoise beats the haire and they've waited this long making it perfect so a few more months isn't a big deal.

Let's see how well Forza sells compared to the other big releases ... we can compare sales figures after both have been released. My guess is GT 5 blows it away in terms of sales volume. GT 5 probably sells close to 8 million copies by the end of 2010.

Think about it ... Uncharted 2 then Final Fantasy 13 then MAG then Heavy Rain then God Of War 3 then Gran Turismo 5 then white knight chronicles ... thats different regions but it's a hell of a 6 month run of exclusives.

I would much rather have a perfect game released without the need for updates. I put in Brutal Legend yesterday, excited to play about 20 minutes before I had class (ultimately decided that Uncharted 2 would be too engrossing and end up with me missing class during midterm week. Yea responsibility!) only to find out that there was a 256 MB update on release day. Long story short, I didn't get to play until AFTER class. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but disappointing nonetheless.

It's also not just release day titles. Anytime I want to play quick game of something I don't regularly play, I have to either disconnect from the internet or sit through a number of updates. It's great that bugs can be fixed and content added post-release... but releasing something that isn't finished and needs constant updates is absolutely terrible in my eyes. I guess I just haven't fully embraced the digital age yet. =/
