REPORT: GT5 to get weather changes, night racing - and yes, damage rendering [w/POLL]
Audi is obviously looking forward to being in the coming Gran Turismo 5. After all, the Quattro company has created a website to promote its car on the Nürburgring in real life and in the game, and it interviewed GT5 mastermind Kazunori Yamauchi about what fans can expect. Yamauchi-san revealed that the game is going to offer not only more vehicles, more online features, and increased detail, but it will also include night racing, damage rendering (previously confirmed), and weather changes.
If you watch the Audi R8 Meets Gran Turismo 5 video, one of the game developers even talks of one day providing weather reports for an entire 24-hour race, and you can read the interview with Yamauchi-san by clicking on a PDF link here. The graphical and gameplay additions are surely welcome and long overdue, and could return GT5 to the head of the racing sim pack – whenever it finally gets here...

What he doesn't say is how it will be released on the Playstation 4.

No S!! I bought a PS3 specifically for this game 2 years ago and every one I know plays 360. Since my wife won't let me have both I'm forced to play online games with strangers. It'll all be worth it if it's as good as I think it's gonna be!

About time!
The best race game(s) ever made. I have no problems stating that.

You haven't driven GTR2.

I have played GTR. I have also played GTR2, Grand Prix Legends, Rfactor, and Forza.
Gran Turismo still reigns supreme. Kaz releases a game when he feels its ready. He doesn't care about all the impatient people. As far as i'm concerned, 2011 is not far fetched and i don't have a problem with that.
Most of us will spend a life time working for a Porsche 911.
The best is the best.

"The best race game(s) ever made."
Except that the car sounds are completely inaccurate in GT1-4, the physics are questionable at best and the damage model in GT4 is a joke, right? Oh, and the fact that they make room for seemingly every Japanese car ever made but can't find the room for more than a handful of American or European classics. I mean they have 2 or 4 or whatever different AE86s in GT4 but they can't stick a Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 or a Stage 1 Buick GSX in it? Or a Super Duty Trans Am? A Jaguar XK-120/140/150? Please. I understand that Polyphony is a Japanese company and that the game is catering largely to a generation (of which I'm a member) of ignorant people that in large part apparently suffer from the misconception that Japanese cars are the be all, end all of everything, but I mean come on guys. Let's get some interesting classics from the rest of the world in here too, mmk?
I'm reserving judgment on GT5; the Prologue is a huge improvement on GT4, but for now, Forza/Forza 2, GTR/GTL, NFS: Porsche Unleashed [and ONLY Porsche Unleashed] > GTx.

im sorry but you are both noobs, because honestly at this rate it will never come out to ANY REAL ANYTHING..... sorry.. i honestly have been playing GT5:P forever now, and i just got my g25 and race set, and need to make a cockpit to hold it all. i am really hoping that at e3 there will be atleast some sort of announcement. they really haven't said anything about the game. i will be happy even if they just give us GT5:P spec 4.

Heh you guys beat Joystiq on that one. Seriously this must be why its taking much longer then expected, but it will be pretty damn good once it does come out.

I can't wait for this game and Forza 3! I wish they made an interchangable wheel for both systems.

Same. I'm planning on a PS3 purchase whenever this hits (please, within the next five years would be nice....)
