yes , talk to my friends back home. the rumor is Dec of this year. i know at Tokyo Game show (Sept 24) they are going to annnouce it. but its going to be this year in Dec. because in japan preorder of this game starts october. 99% when they start preorder in japan, the game comes out 1-2 months later.
this is for GT5

Rumor has it that it's going to be a simultaneous world wide release but don't forget that the prologue came out 4 months earlier in Japan than the US :(

:( it wont be. the F1 cars will be in the game :)

Not sure how that works out since Codemasters own the F1 license now. It'll probably be something like only the 2007 or 2008 cars which is no big loss, though it might've been fun to play with KERS.

Don't forget that the Furai is a LeMons car in general. It's got extra weight for things like jacks built into the car while even a Formula 2 car is pure racing beast, I don't even think they have a starter! Straight line speed it might win against the formula cars since it's built for them but the open wheel cars will have it in the corners :)

Shortly after Gran Turismo 5’s feature list popped up on Polyphony Digital’s website, pandemonium broke out as everyone rushed to secure an accurate translation. With the added excitement of the playable demo at GamesCom and our first look at damage, some pretty remarkable new features slipped under the collective radar. We’re going to put the spotlight on one of them today which could have an major impact on the racing game genre across platforms: “head tracking” with the PlayStation Eye.

The concept itself is simple enough -- it’s a camera that tracks the movement of your head -- but the results are breathtaking. If you’ve never seen this new technology in action, watch the following demo and you’ll quickly realize the implications of such a feature in Gran Turismo 5:



As we learned from Polyphony Digital’s website, you’ll be able to use this head tracking technology to manipulate the “cockpit camera” and presumably look through the corners and at your opponents with the simple turn of your head. From the translation (confirmed by Yamauchi):

“…the movement of Cockpit Camera interface (confirmed in full 3-D. The camera can be fully manipulated and you can opt to have your head tracked by the PSEye)”

The PlayStation Eye is already available for $32.99, but is not typically considered a must-have peripheral for most PS3 owners due to a lack of software support. That could change in a very big way, selling lots of additional Eye hardware for Sony in the process. For now, though, we could be looking at GT5’s “dark horse” in the race for consumer’s hearts, minds, and dollars.

In his latest interview with Italian gaming site MultiPlayer.it, Kazunori Yamauchi doesn’t shy away from nearly confirming a “simultaneous world release” for Gran Turismo 5. A worldwide release has been widely rumored after our own Amar212 first hinted at the fact way back in April, and it is looking more and more certain with each passing day. Yamauchi was also asked about Gran Turismo 5 feature list, which GTPlanet managed to grab before it was quickly pulled from Polyphony Digital’s website. Although he comes short of explaining why it was posted, he confirms the information is true. Yamauchi goes on to discuss how the new damage feature will affect a car’s handling characteristics, and goes on to say there will be “real NASCAR races.” Finally, Yamauchi retierates that the game will run at in full 1080p resolution at 60 frames-per-second.

Although there is no official English transcript for the interview, we can thank our own RoadRunner99 for offering the following translation of the most important questions:

MultiPlayer: GT5 Release?
KY: ”The game is still under development but its release is not too far, it will be after the PSP GT release and, very probably, it will be a simultaneous world release”

MultiPlayer:What about the game features that were published on the official japanese site, 1000 cars, 80
tracks and YouTube download?
KY: ”We would like to wait to publish them, but what you read on the site is true.”

MultiPlayer: Is there something new in the single player mode
KY: ”If you look at the PSP version, you’ll see that the game is very different from the previous Gran Turismo versions. The 5th episode will have many similar features to the PSP version”

MultiPlayer: How the damages will influence the gameplay?
KY: ”The damages are not only visible, they will affect the driving style.
It depends on the player, some players will like it, others will not”

MultiPlayer: Will we have Nascar and WRC championships in the game or just the cars?
KY: ”There will be real Nascar races
in the game. Nascar had necessary to be included
in the game. Regarding WRC championship we have been trying to add it to series since long ago. Now we got it.”

At the end KY confirmed 1080p and 60 fps.

That would be awesome. Being able to look through the corners is one of the biggest missing pieces in driving simulations / racing game. Not sure when they will be able to get the Virtual Gs though, so you can feel when your tires start breaking free, (and which ones) :)

In a video interview with French gaming site GameBlog.fr, Kazunori Yamauchi hinted at Gran Turismo 5’s release date with the following statement (thanks to reece22345 for the translation!):

“I really understand that lots of people are interested in GT5, and we will do everything we can so that the game is released quickly. But we are focusing our priorities and Gran Turismo will come out on the PSP the 1st of october first. The only thing I want to tell you today, is that GT5 will be released shortly after this date.“Yamauchi’s statements fall in line with what GTPlanet has learned previously, making a 2009 release date even more certain than it already was. He also hinted at why he is often so secretive in his interviews, adding that he ““rarely wants to talk about the future” and “”likes to be precise, and he’s not happy talking about stuff that isn’t concrete and ready”. When the whole world (or would that be…’Planet?) painstakenly examines and archives your every word, it would give anyone extra pause before opening their mouth.

The GameBlog crew must have also picked Yamauchi’s pockets, because they managed, somehow, to get hold of these screenshots. You may remember seeing them before – we originally posted them here in the highest resolution that was available from Polyphony Digital’s own website (they were taken offline shortly thereafter). GameBlog, however, got some some copies that were considerably larger in size. Hmmm…

Just a head up, Next week is Tokyo Game Show. and ill be keep up with the any GT related and post there here, for our GT fans like my self :)



Tensions were high last June at E3, when everyone and their brother expected something about Gran Turismo 5 to be announced at the largest trade show in the gaming industry. We got a cool trailer, but nothing else about the game was revealed. Next up was GamesCom, where the first playable version (with damage) was demonstrated. These delightful tidbits were released despite the fact that the game was not released on Sony’s “official list” of game titles to be highlighted at the show.

That trend is about to change for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show – Sony’s just released their official exhibitor list, with Gran Turismo 5 right in the middle of things. Kazunori Yamauchi has already confirmed that we can expect a “major advancement” at TGS, and with this new confirmation, we could see more revealed about the game than ever before. The show begins on September 24 – mark your calendars!

there are rumors that it would be in December.
Alfy knows but he's not yet cleared to disclose such information. :suspect:

If the release information would somehow show up in a comic strip, would it really be Alfy disclosing? I mean, no one would take it seriously anyway. :suspect:

I will definitely be picking up a console and the game, and I will probably not avoid getting a wheel as well. The controller is better than keyboard for driving games, but still a far cry.

Ah well, my Best Buy card has a $0 balance, I can just leave it that way till release :)

I probably would get one of the older PS3s though, if the brand new one doesn't play PS2 games....which is the entire list of games I have.

and also the reviews are out. now the only thing i dotn understand is, Kazu said back in e3 also in numerous other interviews, that GT PSP will not be like the console version. its meant for pick up and play for mobile play. now reviewers are saying the game plays just like GT4 etc, but since there is no career mode. what do these reviewers want, thousands of hours on the psp version? psp is meant for mobile gaming, not your gaming machine of choice.

its like buying a car, the sales person tells you this car only gets 10MPG, this i not your soccer mom type of car. then after a couple days of driving you go fill it up, then y ou get mad because you notice you only get 10mpg, and htat you couldnt take the kids across the moon. even though the sales guy told you that you will only get 10mpg.

well anyways, here is the review video http://psp.ign.com/dor/objects/682963/gran-turismo-psp/videos/gtpsp_vdr_091509.html


http://www.gtplanet.net/mixed-reviews-for-gran-turismo-psp/#more-3203?gr_i_ni


Today the review embargo has been lifted on media outlets with copies of Gran Turismo PSP, and thoughts and opinions are quickly popping up across the web. Unfortunately, however, not all are postive, with critics missing the “career mode” that made previous GT games so enjoyable. Indeed, Kazunori Yamauchi has been telling us this game would be structured differently than any of the others since June, focusing on “driving missions and tasks” as opposed to working your way up the ladder, tweaking your cars to win more money. Yamauchi defended this decision with the assumption that players will only play the game for short periods of time, and may not be willing to dive as deep as they would have in the console games.

The question, then, is who missed the point: the reviewers, or Polyphony Digital? In their quest to make the game quick to pick up and play, did they water down the quintessential Gran Turismo experience, or did the critics miss the point? We’ll find out for ourselves come October 1st. For now, join the debate in our GT PSP forum, or keep reading of the latest reviews and scores for GT PSP…


IGN.com (6.8/10)

For me, and a lot of other Gran Turismo fans, the fantastic driving is coupled with starting out at the bottom, slowly tweaking and upgrading your starter car as you compete in event after event, and gradually buying new rides to take on bigger and better challenges. And then eventually, after lots of hard work, you’ll get a car that can crack the 200mph barrier and you’ll feel like you’ve accomplished something great. Gran Turismo on the PSP contains none of this, and by and large, that’s the entire problem.

Eurogamer (7/10)

There’s no career mode to speak of – just Single Race, Time Trial and Drift Trial options, for which you pick a car and a track and then have at it, without any structured progression or notable unlocks [...]. Instead you just bash away with no particular goal in mind besides accumulating credits to buy cars. The only restriction is that the Car Dealerships only show certain manufacturers at certain times. It’s not a great substitute for a career mode.

VideoGamer.com (9/10)

Gran Turismo on PSP feels like Gran Turismo, even when played with the usually less than satisfactory analogue nub. No other driving game on the handheld comes anywhere near to delivering a handling model this advanced, with tracks so detailed you can feel the bumps and undulations in the road surfaces. Stick with the game in the first hour or so, as you have to contend with driving in cars that have little to no sense of speed, and you’ll eventually be cruising around some stunning tracks and pushing supercharged beasts to their limit.

PocketGamer (8/10)

What GT does better than most is to provide one of the most exhilarating opportunities to take a car out on a track and push it to its limits. And here you’ve got that experience distilled into perhaps its purest pick-up-and-play form.
It’s you and your machine versus the circuit. In this respect, Gran Turismo PSP doesn’t stall, effortlessly powering to the front of the handheld field in a manner that is likely to leave many a petrolhead breathless.

Play (80%)

Alfy, IS IT TRUE?!!!! :uhh: :scared:



Well, we can put all the rumor-mongering to rest. Reader Larry Spector emailed us this morning with confirmation that Gran Turismo 5 will hit the shelves (and obliterate the productivity of thousands of PS3 owners) on December 29. Is Larry a sneaky Sony employee? Nope, he's a regular Amazon user like the rest of us, and today, GT5 showed up as a Gold Box item for him. The pre-order page now features the release date, so wives, girlfriends, and other assorted family members expecting holiday togetherness can now formally make plans to leave us alone as we spiral into full-on, anti-social gamer mode the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. Though, we have to say -- releasing the game before Christmas might have been the smart move, guys. Regardless, order's been placed. What're you waiting for?

that is the date t japanese game magazine hints for quite awhile now. but i do know that the game will come out this year, and Dec is the month that a realible source mentions. since this source rumor have all came true regarding anything with GT5.

but this thursday is going to be the date it will be reveiled. also with kazu japanese interview, he mentions preorder starts shortly after GTPSP version comes out. in japan they start preorder 1-2months before game is released. so looks like december will be it :)

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG which celebrated its world premiere during the 2009 International Motor Show (IAA), is the highlight in the latest version of the PlayStation®3 video game Gran Turismo®5. And just as with the visitors to the IAA, it is expected to excite gamers worldwide with its breathtaking performance.

When Gran Turismo®5 comes out soon to continue the success of this popular game series, fans the world over can look forward to the opportunity to take control of a very special car. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will be just as impressive in the game as it is in real life, thanks to the extremely realistic rendering techniques used to depict its drivers. Drivers of the SLS AMG can look forward to taking part in thrilling high speed races on a variety of different race tracks, including the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife, while competing against other vehicles from the super sports car segment.

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will be displayed at the Tokyo Game Show (24 – 27 September 2009) with latest information on Gran Turismo®5.

With the new interpretation of the legendary gullwing, Mercedes-Benz is presenting a truly exciting super sports car which features an extremely impressive technology package: aluminium spaceframe bodywork with gullwing doors, AMG 6.3-litre V8 front centre engine with a maximum power of 420 kW/571 hp and dry sump lubrication, 7-speed double clutch transmission in a transaxle configuration, and sports suspension with aluminium double wishbone axles. The ideal weight distribution of 47 to 53 percent between the front and rear axles and the low centre of gravity accentuate the uncompromising sports car design. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will celebrate its market launch in the spring of 2010.

[ \\] i do give turn 10 props on enviroments. but players wont be paying attention to how cool the trees look while flying by, so it really doesnt matter. as for their car models, for some reason, they cant get any where close to PD. this is a picture of a game that is 2 years old .

and the sad thing is, GT5 has 16 cars on the screen racing, where F3 only has 8. you would think that Turn 10 can pull some more in the car modeling, since they have less cars on the screen.

I don't think anyone (who knows what they're talking about anyway) is going to make the argument that the 360 is the superior piece of hardware though. As much as it sounds funny, the better game to compare the graphics with is Forza 2. Same hardware:

Forza 2 Car selection:
http://www.msxbox-world.com/assets/gallery/albums/Xbox-360-Screenshots/Forza%202%20-%20R4%20Class/normal_192_168_1_49-image7.jpg

Forza 3 in action:
http://cdn.forzamotorsport.net/uploadedImages/Media/Images/Gamescom_2009/FM_CorvetteZR_4.jpg

So what they've done is found a way to get the in game graphics to match the selection screen graphics, something that's very hard to do given the difference in Poly count. I mean, aside from the Cell itself, GT5 has a disk with more than 2x the space available to it.

There are two big things Forza 3 is going to have over GT5:
-It's going to come out on time (Honestly, I'll believe GT5's release date when I see it on a shelf)
-It's going to have a better launch (fewer technical problems) and its multiplayer will just work, because Xbox live is still the better platform (supporting hardware or no)

Don't get me wrong, I WANT GT5 and it may well end up convincing me to buy a PS3. GT4 was a joke but it came out just 3 months before Forza 1. So in between GT 4 and GT 5, Forza 1, 2 and 3 will all have come out. The game BETTER be that much better of a game...

GT5 graphics and DRIVER EXPERIENCE is far superior to Forza

The "Driver Experience" is pretty subjective. I guarantee you both marketing departments will show up with plenty of Real Racecar Drivers(TM) extolling the virtues of their respective games, declaring it to be the most accurate sim they've ever used! (OMG, see how he said used and not played? Obviously that means X is the better game!)

My criteria is pretty simple:
-Can I build MY car?
-Is it fun?
-Will I play it for more than 20hrs (i.e. is it worth the money)?
-Can I build MY car out to the point that it will beat a Ferrari? :evil_laug


I mean, sim or no sim, you're never going to FEEL the road through the steering wheel until we get some really sophisticated game wheels so you're already playing an aproximation. But how many people here will be playing on a controller anyway?

sorry, but i own a 360 and forza 2, i can tell you forza 2 is a lagfest online. since its peer to peer.

now forza 3 is using dedicates servers, just like GT5 p is using.
to say xbox live is far supior is just a bunch of nonsense really. i cant play Gears of war 2 online, due to peer to peer. half the time its just one huge lagfest. which is pretty sad, when t he game is pretty good.

Forzqa 2 is to arcady to be honest with you. yah it has damage phycis, but as for game play, it reminds me of a semi arcade game. to say its a sim is very laughable.

as for forza 3, it looks like forza 2 with more poly counts. its looks good, but when you compare it to a 2 year old game (GT5P), it doesnt even come close. even with only 8 cars on the screen,vs GT5p 16 cars.

Gonna do my best to keep my tone friendly (I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't mean to come out condescending and yes, I know, that usually means the poster is about to be condescending).



I have a hard time talking with people about their online experiences with games, particularly games with automatching. I never played Forza 2 online, though I did play a bunch of other FPS' (Gears 1 and 2, Halo, MW, Vegas2, Shadow Run even! lol) and a few other non-FPS. It's a total crapshoot with the P2P games how the game is gonna go some nights. One match will be perfect, the next lagged to shit... The problem is that it changes, a lot, night to night, match to match. You can get stuck lining up with someone from the other end of the country who's all over bittorrent at the same time as playing, or you could get placed with people on the same ISP. Evidence is always way to anectdotal, it's always individuals on a board complaining while the people with no problems have little motivation to visit the boards let alone post.

When I say Forza will have a better launch, I mean those servers are going to work. The service won't go down repeatedly in the first few weeks due to "Unexpected Traffic" (you printed 5,000,000 copies of the game then only prepared for 100,000 users? Really?), there won't be issues where "Some versions of the console fail during the manditory install" (though maybe some will get dusted off and RRoD the first time you play the game :lol:), things are just going to work.



Forzqa 2 is to arcady to be honest with you. yah it has damage phycis, but as for game play, it reminds me of a semi arcade game. to say its a sim is very laughable.

Sigh, compared to what? GT4? Really? As for the damage, it was pretty primitive compared to say Grid (which was DEFINITELY arcady) but calling a game "Arcade-y" is a pretty tough thing to define because it gets subjective really fast. I'll tell you I was very impressed by the way the tires heated up in segments (so you could really see the impact of camber changes) when it first came out 2 years ago.


as for forza 3, it looks like forza 2 with more poly counts. its looks good, but when you compare it to a 2 year old game (GT5P), it doesnt even come close. even with only 8 cars on the screen,vs GT5p 16 cars.[/IMG]

I heard the exact same thing about the Prologue when it first came out in reference to GT4. Still, if you look at GT5 you can pretty easily say "It's just GT4 with higher poly count and damage models". Let's wait until we can really play both games and get a feel for them.

I am quite confused with this statment. your saying forza 3 will have a better launch due to their servers not going down etc. but ignore the fact taht GT5P servers didnt go down either during launch. only time it ever goes down is for , resetting the time attack and drifting scores.

also that reminds me, its funny that GT5p already outsold forza 2. with more players online, i havent been in a lagfest race yet. i wish i could say the same for forza 2, but when i play forza 2, cars are flying in the air due to lag etc. now its not ever race, but i do get a big share of lagfest races, which makes the game unenjoyable. but i guess since the xbl is so superior i should ignore that :)

but in the end, its matter of opinion.

Gonna respect that, but real quick, does this mean you have access to NPD data? If you do, I have a ton of stuff I'd ask you to look up, PM me if so please :D:

(Forza 2 sales should be pretty significantly artificially inflated, it was bundled with the best priced package for the 360 for quite a while. I'd have a hard time believing it really got beat by the Prologue for that reason.)

That and 360 sales outside the US were pretty bad when Forza 2 was relevant too :lol: Pretty sure NPD does Japan too though? Also, the Prologue was a lot cheaper.

That and 360 sales outside the US were pretty bad when Forza 2 was relevant too :lol: Pretty sure NPD does Japan too though? Also, the Prologue was a lot cheaper.Back to GT5, are they doing a bundle?
true, but it shows GT series have a huge fan base, if they are willing to buy a 40 dollar demo. not saying forza fans base isnt huge, but its very small when compared to fans of GT series.

so i guess my point is, ppl knew that GT5p was just a taste of what GT5 has to offer. but yet it outsold Forza 2 (worldwide sales). so if that is the case, can you imagine what GT5 sales will be, comapred to forza 3? especially with the price drop of the ps3.


also npd only does US. i forget who does japanese, but the company is alwys posted in the weekly famistu magazine.

as for bundle, not sure. but gt5p was bundled with the ps3, so i can only imagine sony doing the same with GT5.

FURAI> all....Imagine how Racing Beat feels knowing they helped build the FURAI and nows its going to be in an World Famouse Game....that almost every PS3 owner will have....nice..

I can see the mass orders for it now.... ;)

I wonder why they'd release it AFTER X-mas. :scratchhe
Either way, this is very exciting news.

my only guess is, its either just a dummy date for decembe.

Maybe because it is as late as possible in 2009, so keeping their word, although allowing for 2 days of pushback :)

Earlier would be better. I'd prefer to be sitting at home from 12/24 to 1/2 playing it, but....

Look at the two pics below.

You know a game is realistic when it can fool your wife into thinking that your watching a race on your HDTV , when actually your playing GT5 and the replay mode is that realistic to fool her. :yesnod:

Sorry no other racing game has ever made my wife second guess herself wether I was actually watching a race or watching a game replay that nearly mimics real life.

aye. you can always buy laptop hardrives for cheap , if you ever need more space.
sorry mis read your post. not really, you can always get the older ones. they are rumors in japan that sony is going to do a firmware update that will allow you to play ps2 games. but that is justa rumor atm. hoping its true though.

So no real hardware difference other than capacity? Getting my PS3 within the next 2 weeks probably. Think I will put up a WTB thread here first, see if there are any non-fail PS3s that people are willing to sell that are backwards compatible, otherwise I might have to buy Zumn's.

Ferrari’s latest creation, the 458 Italia, is featured in the latest Gran Turismo 5 video, just released a few hours ago. You’ll see some very beautiful footage, along with our first look at some currently unkown road course. To spice things up, Ferrari appears to have commissioned this video by both Polyphony Digital and Turn 10 (Forza’s producers), and has released both company’s clips at the same time. It’s inevitable that comparisons will be made -- judge for yourself and take a look at Forza 3’s video after the jump

Hands down the comparison video goes to PD! The tribute video that Turn 10 put out was kind of over the top with that quirky 80's video game techno music. But the real attention was the lack of detail on the Forza vid, the cars look drab and plastic looking once again. :hahano:

PD chose the right song to go with the right car, PD vid could be a comercial for Ferrari if Ferrari ever produced comercial ads for there vehicles. It was overall classy....

GT5 open desert highway track + F458 Italia?

Me want.

BTW, RIWWP, 20/60gig PS3 (launch models- ($500-600 MSRP) will play PS2 games best because they have the PS2 chip built in. These are hard to find and still pretty expensive, despite the small capacity. Bonus of the 60gb is the baller chrome trim, 4 USB ports, and card reader on the 60gb.

Early 80gb models (with card readers and chrome trim; they were sold as the premium version ($500) against the 40gb base model ($400). The later 80gb models were sold for $400 alongside the $500 160gb, both of which have no chrome, no card reader, and only 2 usb slots) will also play PS2 games, but they use software emulation which produces random compatibility issues. Once again, 4 USB slots, baller chrome, card reader.

I have one of these early 80gb that I bought new off craigslist when they went off the market, and can attest that my PS2 games are no issue on there; mostly cutscenes being slightly erratic. There's a link (http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus) where you can check how your PS2 games will perform on either generation of backwards compatibility.

Man, it's really impressive the amount of work they've done on the glass, particularly the headlights, since the Prologue. See how the glass seems warmer in your shot above of the 458?

Making glass look right is hard, and the more detail you add to the objects around it the harder it gets. The problem is that light reflects off each layer of the glass differently, so it'll reflect off the outer layer, the inner layer, and the reflectors in the headlight differently. On top of that, the reflection off the inner layer will refract when it hits the outter layer, while the reflections from the inner reflectors will refract twice... The "answer" is supposed to be ray tracing which hey, DX11 and OpenRT should give us in the next gen of consoles, right? :lol:

The real trick though is going to be to see who scales better. Both games do a neat trick involving polygon counts based on the number of things going on in the screen. The screenshot Alfy posted above from the Prologue actually illustrates it perfectly.

During a high speed race, your attention is focused on your car, the course infront of you and the cars around you. THEY get a high polygon count because they interesting, but there're a finite number of polygons a console can render at a time (lots of things impact that number so it could be different from track to track, but for a given scene there's a limit) so they increase the count on the cars and track but decrease it on the scenery. Compare Alfy's shots of the BMW and the Ferrari. See how the shot of JUST the Ferrari has blades of grass, even individuals? Now look at the BMW shot, the cars look perfect but the fields are all single polygons... different venues, probably not the best place to illustrate this... both games do it though (and have to! We demand so much detail in the cars these days...)

Here's a better example (from Forza 3... sorry to keep posting F3 screens in this thread! Find me a good example from GT5 shots and I'll repost)

http://kotaku.com/assets/images/gallery/9/2009/06/thumb1280x1280_3586458453_4cd219114e_o.jpg

See all that pain-staking detail in the refractions of the tail lights? Where did it all go in this next screen:

http://kotaku.com/assets/images/gallery/9/2009/06/thumb1280x1280_3586457909_4fd6b0920d_o.jpg

Where'd all that detail go? I mean, look at the tail lights on that R8, they're just a couple flat textures with glass over them.

So if you really want to compare shots from the two games, you have to try and get similar shots, e.g. a Ferrari from both with almost nothing else in the shot and either both are an action shot or both are standing "photoshoot".

Ah, perfect example... remember what I was saying about the detail around the headlights? Where did it go?

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j35/kohanson/458Italia2.jpg

The answer is it went into the other cars. Another neat trick is bump mapping. Forza is the king of doing this to hide a lack of detail in the background during fast motion shots, but you can see it in the GT5 screenshots too. In the top screenshot I quoted from Alfy, check out the guard rail. Looks pretty 3d up close on the left, but far back it looks 2d... secretly, the whole thing is 2d but they've used bump mapping to fake it. It's really convincing when you're flying by at 100mph+

That said... and I hate NASCAR... but this is awesome:

Lol, so much win in that last post. Alfy's famous graphics, plus GT5P screenshots... excellent.

Every time I see you online, you seem to be playing that Uncharted 2 beta. It's good to see GT5P isn't forgotten.

This thread is too long to read through all of it, but has damage been discussed yet? Everywhere I've read about it, people have mixed feelings. Which I think describes my thoughts as well. At first I thought the game was pretty cheesy when you crashed into a wall, and it bounced off of it like nothing happened. But I've gotten used to it now. One benefit I could see is when I race clowns online, they might not try to play bumper cars all the time if their car was going to get fuxed up.

oh yah uncharted 2 is alot of fun.

as for gt5p, i always play it, but under my japanese account. so i can play with friends back home (okinawa). but we dont race, just pretty much drifting. pretty much be like 10 of us heading the opposite way on track. since you become ghost if you go head on witih other drivers.

i tend to get ot many messages under alfy27 when i am playing gt5p, so that is probably why you dont see me playing much under that user name. in fact zumn just pretty much sent me dumb messages all night while i was plying gt5p today under alfy lol. was drifting around with ferrari california, pretty fun car, butrevs so fast. had to time between gear etc . but yah i am starting to love that car.

as for crash, hopefully kazu will give more info on that this thursday :)

Anijo, there is no loss of detail in the GT5P shots, sorry i even took it into photoshop and zoomed in on the lens parts, the detail is there.

This was Kazu dream , to have cars loose no detail when being played or being watched in replay views. You mentioned on the Daytona track the guard rail in the far left corner going from 3d to a 2d bump map. Nope it not happening in GT5P, that whole track is a 3D master piece beside the 2D people in the stand which have some movements of animations. And the paper thin fence pieces.

The camera is out of focus , so its gives the illusion that the guard rail looks 2d in nature, when its not. Its a depth of field trick, you can do this trick with your own camera. But let me assure you , those guard rails are all 3D.

Now if this was Gt4 with tons of pop up trees, signs, fences, guard rails, etc, then I wouldn't even comment,but it isn't , this is GT5 , the bar has risen.

Here is time table to for day to match Tokyo time.

http://www.gtplanet.net/?gr_i_ni




It’s here! At each major gaming industry conference this year, we’ve collectively held our breath for news about Gran Turismo 5 from the halls of Polyphony Digital. We got our first peek at the game in the E3 trailer, and then took a closer look at the new damage feature in a playable version of the game at GamesCom. Exactly what’s in store for Tokyo is still anyone’s guess, but significant details about the game (including the release date) are long overdue. Kazunori Yamauchi himself has already told us to expect a “major advancement” from the show, and both Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz have curiously started bragging about their latest vehicles getting featured in GT5 this week.

Sony’s press conference will begin on September 24, 2009 at 10:30 AM in Tokyo, Japan. GTPlanet will, of course, be providing “live blog” coverage of the event right here on our homepage. Here’s a quick reference to see what time this will be in your area. For a more comprehensive list of international locations, see this time table.

Sydney – Thursday, September 24 @ 11:30 AM

Berlin – Thursday, September 24 @ 3:30 AM

London – Thursday, September 24 @ 2:30 AM

New York - Wednesday, September 23 @ 9:30 PM

Los Angeles – Wednesday, September 23 @ 6:30 PM

My list of things i hope PD improved

1. tire screaching sound. its one of hte things that annoyed me since gt2.

2. Online competive mode- i hope they have option whre you can turn off damage. so other players dont try to make you crash on purpose. i hope its like F1 CE for the ps3, where if a driver gets any where close to you , your car becomes ghost mode.

this is probably the only reason why i never race period online, instead i use online just for drifting sessions with other friends etc.


as for car sound, i play cockpit view , and before that, i played hood view. so the sound i always liked, but i hear that ppl who play 3rd person view doesnt like the sound. hope they improved it for players that play in that view.
think that is pretty much it.



things i am looking foward to

Online chat/and text chat

I showed my wife the Forza 3 Ferrari video last night. She was like "Wow, that is incredibl graphics." Then I showed her the GT5 Ferrari video, and she asked, "I thought it was a computer game? It looks like they took video in a Ferrari showroom."

Edit:
I guess that is really the difference. I can't bash Forza3's graphics, because they are really good. But you can tell that it is computer generated. GT5, you catch hints that it is, but often find yourself wondering if it is.

it depends for me. with alfy27 i use controller, so all these pictures etc is all controller. when i play gt5 under that account, its usally i dont want to be bothtered by my japanese friends wanting to get a drift session going, or i want to fool around with other cars, that i wouldnt normally be able to do under my japanese account, due to how serious japanese ppl take these drifring online .

but when i play on japanese account i pull out the wheel and chair etc. since ppl in those rooms are more serious .

I am buying a wheel for it.

Driving games that are more arcade like can do a controller fine, but a serious sim like this needs a serious controller imo. Fine tuning suspension means nothing when you can't fine tune your control. NASCAR racing games (yes I have a few) have a significantly higher level of difficulty on the super speedways with a standard controller, simply because you minimum input is more than you should be doing to stay in your lane, and in the fastest possible suspension setup is generally too loose for such ham fisted directional adjustments. The 1.5 and 2m tracks, I would always have to set the cars up tight (sometimes very tight), to keep weight transfer from breaking the back end out every single lap. Charlotte and Rockingham were the two worst.

I'm not about to ruin the glorious precision and realism of GT5 with a standard controller :)

(It's like entering the Rolex 24hr at Daytona with the handicap controls of a paraplegic.)

NFS Shift is not cutting it for me, can't wait for GT5 to come out. Probably the last game I buy in a long time.

I'm hoping they really go all out and give us all the details, release date and trailers. I'll be looking at GTPlanet's updates on this, but is there any other goog sites to follow this? Is there a video feed being shown anywhere?

09-23-2009, 04:01 PM
This thread is too long to read through all of it, but has damage been discussed yet? Everywhere I've read about it, people have mixed feelings. Which I think describes my thoughts as well. At first I thought the game was pretty cheesy when you crashed into a wall, and it bounced off of it like nothing happened. But I've gotten used to it now. One benefit I could see is when I race clowns online, they might not try to play bumper cars all the time if their car was going to get fuxed up.

I used my digital camera so uploading wont take as much time as using actual video....which can sometimes take up to 30 minutes depending on the size....Here's examples of GT5p play....

The bad news is they're saying March 2010, but the good news is this is the most concrete date we've gotten yet (It's gone from "Sometime in 2008" to "Sometime next year" to "Q4 2009" to March!) and chances are, they'll actually hit this one, or at least make it by April. This push will bring it to a full 6 years in between releases though... which is Blizzard epic.

I really doubt they're looking at the competition from a FPS as something serious, there have been people saying they'll buy a PS3 for this game since the console was announced. Chances are, this is PD's obsession with quality working against them. Sometimes you just have to ship what you have, not keep adding features.

Chances are, this is PD's obsession with quality working against them. Sometimes you just have to ship what you have, not keep adding features.

true, was talking to my friends who are TGS. they was able to ask PD workers why 2010, reason is Damage phyics. they say players really want this, so they are going to make sure its done correctly. so not mad at PD, for wanting to be pefectionist. its what makes GT series better then forza. but then again they are japanese. perfection is something that is number 1 rule in japan. also unlike Turn 10 who used the same graphics engine as forza 1, for forza 2, they actually worked on a new graphics engine from the ground up once ps3 came out.

but i must say, the forza 3 demo i was highgly dissapointed. since forza 1, cars feel like your just floating. i would think by now, they would of fixed this, but yet still continue to use the floating on air phyics that alot of fans complain about. thought the graphics would be jaw dropping when compared to gt5p, but i guess screenshots must of been bull shots, which is typical of turn 10 to do. i mean they made forza 2 look awesome, until the demo dropped , every one was able to see how badly that looked. . btw you can dl it now, but after playing the demo, i think ill pass on F3.

GT5 seems clearly superior to Forza 3 in most respects, but if I were to call out Polyphony Digital's weakness, it's their sound engineering.

The cars from GT series always sounded hollow, tinny, and clinical.

I know they sample the sounds with rigor and accuracy, but their subjective massaging which is necessary for any kind of audio recording, needs a significant level of artistry to give cars their soul.

RIWWP
09-25-2009, 12:43 PM
Yeah...though without a decent sound system to compare, I can't really decide how far off it is. I've got a better system now than the standard tv speakers I had for GT4, with alot of bass available. Makes me wonder about the sound there.

That's right. They should have different sound samples paired with terrain and tire type and tire size. And if they can, differentiate tire screeching and wheel hopping. That'd be cool. ABS sounds would be cool too.

Damn, I'd forgotten about that! I had to play GT4 with my music up and the sound down on the TV...

Having played Forza 3 some more... the number one thing that's going to drive me nuts about it is that it's 720P. If GT5 can really keep its framerate up at 1080p, that's a pretty good notch up right there...

Food for thought, Turn 10 has been pumping out a new Forza every 2-3 years. With a 6 month head start, think they can pump out Forza 6 before GT6? :lol:

Man... I dunno guys... is this worth waiting longer for? http://ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/857126/gran-turismo-5/videos/gt5_gmp_tgs09_damage2.html

How is it that neither GT5 nor F3 can hold up to a year old arcade racer? http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-smashing-grid/32013


Actually, it's probably because Grid put all the console's power towards visuals and none towards realistic physics :lol:

I agree. THAT isn't worth waiting for....but then THAT is what we would have if it was released now. After seeing that video, I can clearly see why they bumped the release to March 2010 to make sure it is right, because it clearly isn't right yet.

The Subie damage video showed what their damage system is capable of, and clearly they hadn't fleshed it out to each car. The saw the reaction of the fans to the Subie's damage, and realized that they need to bring the other cars up to speed.

I'd be fine with no damage, but if they have damage at all, they need to do it right, or the game will fall on it's face to the mass public. Damage done incorrectly, with the rest of the game done so so right, will be a sticking point that people will harp on, unable to get over it, and it will come to be like our 8. A quirky niche product that is actually way better than people give it credit for, but a few flaws that the masses can't look past.

So thanks for the link. I am now content to wait another 3 months while they fix that. It will be worth it.

I really hope that you're right, that the delay is to improve on what's in that video. The video is just cam shots from TGS... but my fear is that the reality of the work required to acurately damage model 1000 vehicles is what's eating up that time.

Keep in mind they don't have to model all 950 cars. Well, they do, but the damage model for each basic model of car will work equally well for each of the variants.
Like each of these cars will have the same damage model:

S2000 GT1 Turbo
S2000
S2000 (Stephen Papadakis, '05)


same as
RX-7 Type-RS-R (FD-gen, '97)
RX-7 Special Tuned
RX-7 Spirit-R Type-A (FD-gen, '02)
RX-7 Spirit-R Type-A Tuned


etc... I am sure that the above lists count as 7 cars towards the 950 car total, but it would require minor tweaking at most to fit damage models to each variant.

well he is right. because kazu confirmed during TGs that you will be able to roll over cars. now do you see that happening in those videos? so either A, that is a late build to show tgs what they are working on, or B. they dont want to show off their work on their current build, because they are still working on it.


interview with Kazu

Kazunori Yamauchi Interviewed by the French GT Champion 500 Benoit Treluyer. Exclusive JVN.com.

If the name of Benoit Treluyer do you say may be nothing, this is alençon original figure star in Japan, where he was notably champion GT 500 with the Nismo team. For JVN.com, he agreed to accompany us in the premises of Polyphony Digital to ask some questions to the immense Kazunori Yamauchi.
An encounter between two lovers racing to the sidelines of the interview, we will also yielded a few revelations about GT5. It has learned that the game has a good day / night cycle and it will last, can run in the rain. Similarly, management of the tires would wear to the program. Degradation which varies depending on the quality of pilotage and the rise in temperature gums. This will make it possible to optimize its sets of tires and driving studying graphic races, explained in detail in the video. Finally, if the F1 does not appear in the program of GT5, it is assumed that other cars would enter, starting with the famous Polyphony 001, 002, etc..



Benoit Treluyer: First question, Will be blessed with Gran Turismo 5 for Christmas?

Kazunori Yamauchi. To answer your question regarding the release date for Gran Turismo 5, did not know it was delayed. We never officially announced a release late 2009. But I understand that you are disappointed, this is not what you want or expect!

BT How many percentage of development is the game now?

Kazunori Yamauchi. If it's just to play the race or just run the game is over. However, if you want to go after the experience I would say we're at 65%.

BT I have tried the demo yesterday. It was found that the damage was present but not yet quite realistic because the cars do not deteriorate completely when you hit hard.

Kazunori Yamauchi. We are still in development and actually, we still have much work on this aspect of the game


BT has been much talked about online. Is there going to be many changes between GT5 Prologue and Gran Turismo 5? Such as online courses at regular intervals?

Kazunori Yamauchi. The big difference between Prologue and GT5 Prologue is that works like an open game. Anyone can go and play together. In GT5, there will be a restricted area where you can invite anyone you want or your friends. This is the big difference between the two games.

BT Among all the news we saw NASCAR, the GT 500, is what will become entitled to F1?

Kazunori Yamauchi. I have always wished that there be a maximum of championships and classes in Gran Turismo. That is why we have an agreement with NASCAR and WRC in GT. But my hope is obviously to integrate all disciplines in Gran Turismo. Unfortunately it is very difficult to put all the F1 teams.

BT Does he could be a day of other cars that enter the game?


Kazunori Yamauchi. Yes, it would be possible ...


BT Is what you've seen recently Forza 3? What do you think the game? Have you ever played? In fact, do you pay attention or you stay focused on Gran Turismo?


Kazunori Yamauchi. Our challenge is to improve each time the new GT from old games. But there is more competition and competition in the field of racing games, the more I believe that the arrival of other games is something good.

BT Just now I saw the game turn, and I saw a little graphic that is very interesting as a pilot because he used a lot by being professional. Can you tell us more? Is this it will be in the game? Kazunori Yamauchi. You can either remove it or leave it in the final game. And now that you prefer?



Personally I prefer him to stay.

Kazunori Yamauchi. In this case, I leave ...

Explanations of Benoit Treluyer: This graph represents the lateral and longitudinal G. Plus the car accelerates and it will go down in the chart, the more you brake hard, the more you go up, and the car will grip side and we'll go on the sides. To fully use the grip, it must succeed in having a half-circle on top and half a smaller circle on the bottom. And if ever you find yourself with a triangle, that means that not much use the car. It uses what we (the pilots) to see if the balance of the car is correct and if in flight, using the maximum potential of the car. It is a graphics allows us to see if it is effective or not.

Indeed... the translation was a little broken on a couple of the questions. Let's hope, with all the time and extra storage space, they get the modeling of the bottom of the cars right (unlike F3 where generic models/textures based on layout).

i take it you never done 24 hours lemans in any gt series. it actually takes you 24 RL hours to finish. which i mean by no other race game have this feature. you are not going to see 12min day and night cycles for the whole 24hours of racing a endurance race.

Hehe, yeah, I did several B-spec 24hr races on the Ring, just started it and turned off the TV, came back the next day to collect my winnings. Of course, once I did that, I lost alot of interest in the challenges, but then whenever I cheat, I always end up feeling that I cheated myself.

I don't know how I would end up doing a real 24hr race A-spec. Maybe get a few other gamers together as a tag-team for driving.


If GT5 has day/night cycles, they will actually be real time, I have no doubt.

The internet needs a sarcasm tag/font... I was mocking Grid. It's an arcade racer and they knew their ADD fans would never stand for a REAL 24hr race, so they made a 24minute one around the Le Mans circuit, where the day/night cycle happened over the course of 12 minutes.

the way me and my friends did in back in japan. there is a total of 4 of us, me and one friend would do the day hours, and 2 other friends would show up and finish off the rest of the night. lol it was teh only race that i need for 100% comlete for game.

Honestly, I'd be more jealous of the PD guys for what they get to do outside the office than in. They have a lot of staff members whose job it is to go out and take pictures of cars and race tracks while still others whose job it is to go back and forth between the game and real cars (typically those last few are professional racers... even NFS games get a few of them to give their thumbs up though :lol:)

Rumor smash: GT5 weather conditions confirmed
30 Weather conditions (night/day cycle and rain) in Gran Turismo 5 have been confirmed today during an interview between French Gameblog and GT series producer Kazunori Yamauchi.

This feature was first revealed in a 8-minute long interview with fellow French JVN on September 28th, 2009. At first, this news was relieved by British website Gamezine (who didn't made any interview) but following the issue of IGN's own mini interview later the same day, Gamezine then claimed the weather conditions availability was unsure.

This rumor has now been smashed by Gameblog's latest interview which confirms the introduction of weather conditions in upcoming Gran Turismo 5.

As a teaser for the upcoming video version of the interview, Gameblog revealed additionnal informations as follows:
*there was an embargo upon GT5 interviews
*European release date close to March 2010 / official announcement is imminent
*day... and night races
*rain races are coming back
*tyre wear: refining of the grip loss
*950 vehicles garage
*20 locations around the world
*70 circuits variations
*new vehicle physics
*damage deformation of each part of the car... according to the speed and the impact's direction.
*replay upload on YouTube
*enhanced GT-TV + video export from the PS3 to the PSP
*on day one: possibility of uploading a hundred of vehicles acquired in GT for PSP... to be used in Gran Turismo 5

Members of the press who visited Polyphony Digital last week were treated to something special: an unpublished Gran Turismo 5 trailer showcasing an apparently more impressive damage model. The news comes from Spanish site MeriStation, making them first to mention this clip. Unfortunately, cameras were carefully controlled in the screening room, so we have only this description to go by:

After the lecture, the lights went to witness in all its splendor the trailer unpublished announced that no one outside those walls had seen so far. It was a moment of excitement because, obviously, everyone wanted to see the deformation and damage.

The video begins with a street circuit and with electronic music in the background. Then we can see the cars, especially new ones at its best going around the track, the GT style of life. We see cars NASCAR, rally, Lamborghinis and Bugattis. We see the pits in full and frenetic action. The images come from the replay mode. We run at night. The modeling is clearly at the level expected. And finally we see the first deformation and cracks on cars. There are a few shouts of excitement among those present. They are short but intense second accident. A lack of a better word, awesome.

We also see a Ferrari with a big city in the background. The camera rises to give a more global perspective. The video ends. The truth is that we are left wanting more. A little short, but intense. When just the trailer, the media present burst into applause greeting. Yamauchi, amid which he said are still working on the night mode to make it as realistic as possible.
If the video is as polished as it is described, this could indicate it will be released publicly in the coming weeks and months. Needless to say, if anyone did manage to record this, please let me know…

started playing again. I placed the gas and brake on the r2 and l2 triggers instead of the X and O buttons. Has helped my racing and drifting dramatically. Can really control the car though the corner more with the gas. I would recommend it to anyone that doesn't have a wheel.

toyota FT Concept . so freaking happy, that PD finally updated their tire squeel noise. at the drifting section of the video, you can see that the tire squeel noise has been fixed.

Hey whats sup AFLY!! YOU FAIL AND FAIL AND FAILL!

Ok now to the important part....

I have completed alll C, B, and A, Events and have got QUICKTUNE ..... ok... so i go to the Ferrari dealer and see the F1 car $2 million FAWK!!!!.... I WANT!!! So.. I go to the S' Events and race one of the races towards the end which is the DAYTONA SPEEDWAY with a Prize of $47K....a race...a simple circle...SUPER SPEEDWAY no? 5 LAPs... SO i get my GT5 TUNED VETTE... BLUE... and Raise the Aerodynamics all the way up, raise the weight of the car, and lower the HP... to where I have lowered enough PP (Performance Points) to join the race... So i Join the race and in the middle of the 3rd lap I have successfully passed all 16cars and become 1st place and finish the next 2 laps FTW... this process takes me about 4:16 :).... So i repeat this proccess until I have successfully saved up $2 million dollars for the F1 Ferrari....I get a message that says... $2 million is the MAX you can have.... so thats bad news #1 but i really dont give a damn... I have $2 million in the bank and approach the DEALERSHIP about to JIZZ in my pants because Im excited about getting the F1 Ferrari....so i click Ferrari then scroll right to the F1 Car.... and FAIL!!!!:mad:....It gives me a screen that says "THIS CAR CANNOT YET BE PURCHASED" WHAT THE FAWK DOES THAT MEAN!!!! why wont it let me purchase the car? FAWK!!! IM so pissed...



BTW- on my drifiting skillz i have gotten a lot better.... my score averages 6k points through ARCADE=Drift Trial at Eidenhoward or what not.... I negative cambered the front wheels and slighty the back...N3 tires in front and N1 in back.... so im working on it....Im trying to get to 12k points to get on the TOP 100 board....:) any tips?

sadly i wish that i could answer your question, but i only bought cars that i needed to complete the game. after that, i just only done the drift events. but i was thinking of farming for money, and finally buy the GTR, and the R8. having a garage full of different color amuse S2k , can eat your money real fast.

as for the drifting tips, only thing i can say is keep practing. as for score board, i wouldnt pay much attention. i use to be top 5 on all tracks, but i only cared for score . so if curtain turns if i didnt make the 5k + on each turn (not total) i would reset . even if i made 4k on a turn, i would reset. if i didnt get a total of 21k score, i wouldnt even let my score update, even if i had 20999 . so it took the fun out of the drifting, for me. because i only concentrate on score, and not about having fun.

so now i just pick time trial and fool around with worrying about how many points each corner i must make. i just drift the whole track, till i get to last corner, and do it in reverse and vice versa, till i get bored. but i find this way to be fun for drifting, then actually worrying about score. so that is my tip, do not worry about score. hope this makes sense to you

but you most likely do it for fun, so gl, looks like you improved alot since last week. also have you tried N2 on front and of course N1 on rear.

btw there is like 4 D1 drivers in the top 10 atm . Stepmania is number one, he is a really cool guy btw. one time , i was like only 50 points away from beating him on suzuka track. he sends me a pm, telling me there are times that i am very close of knocking him off from top 1, that he gets scared some times lol. but yah no one has beaten him. other d1 drivers are nice also.

since i been to toyko like thousands of times, you probably wonder how close does tokyo track in game vs RL.
but i do find it funny, how they make tokyo look like Okinawa with clear blu skys in teh game. . tokyo such a smog fest, like hong kong.

That is cool Alfy you found those google earth pics. The pic i was hoping for was that pic through the S-curves with the painted pavement. I love that part of the track, some of the cars and mostly all of the Lemans cars can go flat out through that section, and its amazing to watch on the replays.

HEY thanks a lot ALFY... and yeah man.... im not too much concentrating on scores in drifting.. but after seeing the top ten replays... GODDAMNN those guys are good! Yeah a buddy of mine came over the other day and we were battling with AMUSE's S2k.... i would get 3k he would get 4k i would get 5 he would get 6.. then i went up to i believe 6500k... but we do it for fun and watch our replays all the time... its seems so real the cars drifting behind each other.. replays are actually more fun than the drifting the cars themselves :).. Oh alfy

BTW I also found out that.......

Turn 10 says, they have made the best looking racing game this gen, did they forget that GT5P alrady beaten them to the punch LOL

Beauge23
10-08-2009, 10:30 PM
wow that's a lot of cars. once i seen the f1 ferrari i was like i need as quick as possible, so i kept my blitz r34. sold all my cars that i didn't use anymore like the ford gt limited edition, s2k, basically all the tuned cars i bought. kept the rx8 and the r35 obviously. and bought the f1 car. damn this thing is fast. and i like how you absolutely need down-force to keep the car on the track, all corners are at max speed. its pretty wild.

From 5:00 minutes and on is heaven isnt it guys? :yesnod: <---u should be like this...:) Also... 11 years in the making and pretty much you can consider the 720 cars in a game record broken..... and most likely the other two as well :bluesuit: I can wait!! its pushed to MARCH NOW? no? welll IMHO my bday is in FEB so it will be my BDAY present!! :yumyum: Cant wait... they better have a wheel store like GT3... oil change shop... and didnt they have a 1/4 mile in GT4?? that would be nice as well.......um... forget the decal crap like NFS...thats junk.. WHEElS FOR sURE though :yesnod: they should have got free licenses for wheels as well.... wadda yall think this game "must have" that is still unsure? also would be nice if you could design custom plates for everyone of your car :)
