Yamauchi says the weather system for GT5 is “done”

gt5

Kazunori Yamauchi has told Official UK PlayStation Magazine that the weather system in Gran Turismo 5 has passed the development stage

“Night racing is going to be a part of GT5, but with things like dynamic weather, the choice is about whether it will improve the experience,” said Yamauchi. “The functionality is not a problem – we’ve got the weather system done – but if we are not sure about the quality of it, and how it improves the driving experience, we are not going to have it in the game.

“There is a massive amount of content in this game, I don’t think there are many teams that put as much into a game as we can. The launch of the game isn’t a start, we are releasing a full game. Everything we want to put into the game is on the disc when it ships.

“Having said that, we do have a sizeable online team that will look after it once it’s launched. They’re spending less time with a single game and this is reflected in the design of GT Mode.”

GT5 might have motorbikes

Polyphony boss Kazunori Yamauchi’s told IGN that GT5 could have motorbikes. Seriously.

“If that’s what users really want in the game, I think that’s a possibility,” he said when asked if bi-wheely things will end up in the game.

“Or we could consider making a Tourist Trophy 2 as well,” he said.

PS2′s Tourist Trophy was the “Real Riding Simulator” to GT’s “Real Driving Simulator”.

GT5′s out in March in Japan.

Yamauchi: Western GT5 release held up for “marketing reasons”

gt55

Speaking at the SEMA motor show recently with Autoweek, Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi has said that the reason that the release of Gran Turismo 5 in the West is down to “marketing reasons”.

“We will release [GT5] in March in Japan but for other regions, it has not been decided yet,” he said.

“That’s more depending on SCEA (Sony Computer Entertainment America) marketing decisions.”

The game was given a March 2010 release date for Japan at the Tokyo Game Show in September.
