I'm confused. I need cast-iron clarification on what's exactly out there. Leaked copies? Pirated copies? Wat?

 

[Mush]

Don't mean that either.

GET HYPE

I think some review copies.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I think some review copies.

Not according to Sin.

 

[Omotesando]

Release in 4 weeks would be awesome.

Unless Sony is stupid and releases after the holidays.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Currently setting up my new wheel setup, not sure how I feel about :/ It's lower then the previous one, and simpler, but not as sturdy. Kinda moves all over the place. Also means I'll need a lower chair and the only one I got is one of those that rotates, kinda sucks for using a wheel

 

[Firewire]

Not according to Sin.

I thought that's what he was talking about?

 

[The Elite]

With all the excitement I'm considering the purchase of a racing wheel. What is the cheapest/best racing wheel to get?

 

[Wazzim]

*opens eBay*

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Don't mean that either.

[Boogat]

I thought that's what he was talking about?

No, he said a page or two back that it's not review copies.

 

[offshore]

This is just one big clusterfuck.

Hurry up Sony. Before we all go insane.

 

[PistolGrip]

I thought that's what he was talking about?

Nope, GT5 is out there baby. Someone is selling them!

What is the best wheel without a setup/ racing seat.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

[The Elite]

What is the best wheel without a setup/ racing seat.

[LiquidMetal14]

Now we get desperate for scraps of information. We should take up a fund and buy the info on ebay. Just the info. That way we have the scoop muahahahahaha

Hurry up Sony. Before we all go insane.

[AranhaHunter]

With all the excitement I'm considering the purchase of a racing wheel. What is the cheapest/best racing wheel to get?

Cheapest or best? You can probably get a crappy wheel for pretty cheap. Speaking of which, I need to get to working on my setup as soon as I find a new place to live.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

While we continue to wait, here's part of the Esquire piece. Nothing Earth shattering, but it's still a good read.

“It is a game and it is a simulator,” Yamauchi explains, “but it’s definitely also something else. I sort of consider Gran Turismo to be a movement.”

I ask Yamauchi where this passion for all things four-wheeled originated. “Our family dealt in fine china, ceramics, that kind of thing,” he reflects. “In Japan, a fine china merchant would usually go from house to house. When I was three, I would often be the passenger in my father’s car, going with him on his deliveries to our customers. It was just natural for me to see the other cars on the road through the window. Children pick things up very quickly, and I soon learned the names of all the cars.”

He once wanted to be the next Jean-Henri Fabre - the French entomologist who inspired Charles Darwin. “I would read his books from cover to cover every day,” he says. Could Fabre’s fastidious attention to detail in recording nature have motivated the way he catalogues cars? “I never thought about it, but yes, that’s probably where this drive for detail began.”

“I think people will feel like they’re taking on the unknown,” Yamauchi says. “It won’t be just about the graphics or the physics - I think they’re going to have an experience in which they see the true potential of this thing they’re playing with.”

Although Polyphony is a subsidiary of SCEI, it has been awarded complete autonomy from its parent, and yet it is still relied upon to deliver to a deadline. Does this daunt him? “I never really worry about that kind of pressure,” he says. “The first GT took five years to create, at which time there were no promises, no deadlines, and I was able to achieve something that I was finally satisfied with, that was received very well by users all over. Because I had that experience at the beginning of my career, my confidence is unwavering.” This is why he has taken as long as he’s needed to nurture GT5 to completion: realism and attention to detail being the watchwords of the series’ unquestionable popularity.

It is uplifting too, that - unlike certain rivals - he is not blindly sycophantic about the platform for which he develops. “Software has to be created under the restriction of the hardware,” he says. “With each new PlayStation, the vessel has become bigger, but it’s still not enough. With GT5, we’ve made it as clean and beautiful as possible within the confines of the space we’re given, but of course there’s a lot more that we want to put in.”

Our interview is drawing to a close. There’s a project to finish after all, final checks to be carried out, tiny imperfections to be remedied. I ask Yamauchi what he would like his legacy to be. He considers the question at length. “Even if the product itself is forgotten, if the movement that involves GT leaves a mark in history, I think I’d be very happy.”

[LiquidMetal14]

I think it's safe to say that GT has been a movement in the auto industry. Great piece!

[spats]

Yamauchi’s routine typically involves 24 hours at his desk, followed by nine hours’ down time. “I operate on a 33-hour day,” he laughs. Relaxation, he adds, is fulfilled by reading voraciously. “It’s been like that since I was 10.”

Oh Kaz.

 

[darkwing]

Oh Kaz.

he is not of this earth

 

[jiggles]
