Yamauchi: PS3 restricted Gran Turismo 5

So we’re just outright flame baiting the fanboys now? This should be a fun thread.

I’m not saying consoles don’t have their limits, but I think Yamauchi was given enough time to put in ideas that could last till the PS5. Why you keep saying it’s something else’s fault is beyond me.

Regardless, I’m playing this game anyway, and can’t wait to try it out.

I’d love to see what the GT team could do on a high end PC. I get the feeling it would be utterly mindblowing.

@3 They would never finish it, new gfx cards,processors, motherboards come out all the time and they would just keep trying to update to the newest one So they would never finish the game.

So GT5 could have been better if the PS3 was more powerful. Well, that seems like quite an obvious statement to make.

Ha, fair point Yoshi, but I was specifically thinking of them targeting a specific high end CPU / GPU combo rather than trying to get it working on different ones / the latest and greatest.

*cough* Bullshit *cough*

Yamauchi, is an artist.. a perfectionist. What ever projects he does (specially his own) essentially can never be finished. Its the nature of the beast.

It really goes without saying though?

e.g He can have PS7 in his hands, he’ll still say the same.

James Mac:
the article is nearly 1 and a half year old.
furthermore i tend to believe a first party developer and vice president of SCE more than some random cross plattform developer.

Can you imagine living with this guy? He is never happy.

Ok Kaz Yamauchi, That means Gran turismo 6 gonna be on a Playstation 4 i suppose? -.-

“*cough* Bullshit *cough*

Oh yeah, thats why i see bland textures everywhere and textures loading IN The Game in Crysis 2.

No one maxed out PS3 and 360. Oh yeah…

Sony didn’t think long term when they only put 256mb of ram on the PS3. 512mb of ram in addition to the 256mb of vram should have been better for the long term development.

BTW, anyone who thought Crysis 2 was going to have revolutionary graphics on consoles with no texture streaming and pop-up was simply delusional.

So he says: “If I had better hardware, I could make a better game” OH F**K REALLY?!

i think he politely implies what other Sony 1st party devs mentioned for their games. “It’s only possible on the ps3″
but still it’s not enough

You know what they say: “A bad workmen always blames his tools”

thats why GT6 has to be made for PS4. PS4 and new Xbox should have at least 4 BG of RAM. and a lot more powerful CPUs. Not to mention Graphic cards with 1 gig each.

Another 5 year wait lol

At least GT5 : http://amzn.to/9QYYJ6 is out soon hopefully

@KAP
Agreed!

It is worrying however that Yamauchi would release a comment like this on the eleventh hour before release, is he insinuating that GT5 is not going to live up to everyone’s huge expectations? a comment like this could be read as Yamauchi covering his end if GT5 does not meet the incredibly high public anticipation…

gt5s graphics are shit anyways specially the prologue worst graphics on the ps3

but PS3 is capable of 4d and 120 fps and GT5 will be run only at 60fps that proves PS3 is not powerful

*Puts on Boromir voice* “oh good they brought a troll”.

What he’s saying is that the reach and depth of Gran Turismo is so far-reaching that it would encompass several game generations into the future until it achieves total symmetry. Only a fool would interpret it in any other way.

@23: No not at all. It just means: “Guys it’s the freakin’ best racing sim in the world that’s possible on this great console!!1111 BUY THIS!!11″

It’s just hype, nothing more and nothing less. And as you see, it works.

Apparently copies of the game are “in the wild” right now:

(Fakery possible)

Seems imminent.

@24
Yes, it actually is. Anything that is hyped obviously has factors that result in its hype, such as expectations and the quality and reputation of that product. And of course, someone’s vision can be limitless and they can look ahead, like if they wanted to include say, twenty thousand cars. That shows ambition. That is also common sense; perhaps you should take some classes in it.

Kojima said the same thing about the graphics of mg4 because of the limits of the ps3, but then u get games like uncharted 1 and 2 after it that blow it away. But i think yamauchi is talking about scope. This is what this gen and next gen will be about. its no longer about graphics, cause we have been awed in graphics since ps2 era and before it. True next gen games will be about fitting many characters on screen, having thousands of buildings viewable with massive landscapes and stuff going all around it, and a giant leap in explosions and destructible environemtns and physics. For example uncharted 2 with the view of the massive city as u walk around, resistance 2 with the city being burnt and stuff happening in the back ground, now imagine all this and times it by 10 or 50. I think the only thing that can be added to gt5 are better crowds and more cars on screen.

@26: Don’t get me wron, I understand all of that but, we are a few days away from the release and now he begins that kind of talk? I don’t mind if some devs are talking about the future, their projects etc. But this is obviously just marketing and it makes me kinda angry that we have almost 30 comments here

@29 ebay21 please fuck off

So if the packshots are 4real, it’s 250 MB minimum and 10 GB recommended for the installation (as it was said before). I obviously need to get rid of some demos on my 40 GB PS3 then

i am a Microsoft fanboy i like xbox as i like game for Windows but ill have to say something here
this guy Yamauchi is just trying to cover hes failure 5 years working in a game or 6 cos the last GT who was a real retail was GT4 in 2004 or something for ps2
