Gran Turismo 5

[Henrique Santos]

A SONY acabou de lançar para a PS3 o “Nissan GT Academy” que serve para demonstrar a renovada física que vai estar presente no GT5 que tem lançamento previsto para 2010.
Esta demo inclui uma pista e o carro Nissan 370Z na versão normal e na versão desportiva.

O objectivo é bater o record da pista em cada uma das versões do carro. Sempre que batemos o nosso record o tempo é automaticamente actualizado online e podemos consultar a lista dos melhores tempos dentro do jogo.
A pista desta demonstração é Indianpolis GP Circuit:

De momento o record da pista pertence ao colega português “meagainstyou” com o fabuloso tempo de 1’36,060.

A Nissan vai convidar os pilotos que tiverem os melhores tempos a fazerem testes em carros de competição reais na Academia da Nissan.

Relativamente à física da série GT, como sabem o Prologue sofreu uma revolução na física em relação à do GT4 ficando assim mais realista em todos os aspectos mas a Poliphony Digital não quis ficar por aqui e desde então a física do Prologue tem sido constantemente melhorada e sofreu uma grande evolução para a versão final do GT5.
Quanto a esta nova física apenas tenho a dizer que controlar este carro é um verdadeiro desafio, pois basta um cheirinho de acelerador para vermos a traseira a passar por nós, mas acaba por ser um desafio muito aliciante, pois alcança um nível de realismo só visto até agora nos melhores sims de PC.
Atenção que só estou a falar da física, já que esta demo ainda não inclui os danos que vão estar presentes na versão final e graficamente embora esteja muito bom, a verdade é que esta demo ainda usa o motor gráfico do Prologue e não do GT5 final, portanto esta demo só serve para apresentar a nova física.

O grande defeito desta física é que é tão difícil quanto realista. Para um sim racer isto não é um defeito, mas sim uma virtude, mas temos de ver que este jogo vai ser lançado em exclusivo na PS3 e a verdade é que para um utilizador de consolas convencional (que quer pegar num carro e ser um “Ás” do volante ao fim de 5 minutos de jogo), esta nova física poderá ser um grande contra, até porque se torna muitíssimo complicado conduzir sem um bom volante e a maioria do pessoal não consegue dar sequer duas voltas seguidas sem sair de pista.

Recomendo a todos os colegas sim racers que se tiverem oportunidade de testar esta demo com um bom volante não percam essa oportunidade, pois não se vão arrepender.

P.S: Já agora, para os colegas que já testaram esta demo, de momento estou com um tempo 1’37.691 com o G25, que na altura que o fiz estava entre os 30 melhores.

Eu cheguei a jogar o prologue numa baquet + g25 e foi uma boa experiência, claro que estava no modo mais dificil e com pneus normais.

Esse jogo está anos à frente de qualquer simulador de hoje, a imagem é 90% real, em alguns caos nem se nota diferença.

um trackir nesse jogo era muito bom se fosse possivel.

Deixo aqui apenas uma:


Mais novidades fresquinhas:

“New features of the game include a tyre grip penalty which temporarily reduces grip if you go off the track and onto the grass or into the gravel. It takes around three to four corners to retain full grip again. Drivers will also feel like they are in the hot seat when they crash into a guard rail and sparks fly.”

Visual Effects Through Cutting-Edge Technology


"Gran Turismo 5 sets out to create a variety of new technological standards challenges, and one of the most impressive advances are in the visual effects department . For example, Gran Turismo 5 now realistically recreates the passage of time.

What starts as a clear afternoon with the sun high in the sky, turns to a red sky as dusk approaches and the sun gets closer to the horizon, and eventually turns to the enveloping darkness of night. This passage of time within a single location changes the mood and dynamics of the race."



Three Levels of Vehicle Damage



Performance Damage
Performance damage affects how the car performs based on calculating the physical effects of collisions and damage on various parameters. It affects vehicle stability and control, depending on the amount of damage taken. This level of damage affects both premium and standard cars.

Dirt, Scratches, and Dents
This is damage that can be visually seen, and involves the vehicle collecting dirt, scratches and dents. This level of damage affects both premium and standard cars.

Dislodging and Deformation of Body Panels
This third level of damage causes body panels to come loose or to deform from their original shapes. This level of damage affects premium cars only.




Car Rollovers : In a real race a car may roll over under unexpected events such as during a violent crash, when bumps on the road are hit at very high speeds, or if a car’s orientation is not right during a jump. Just as in real races, in Gran Turismo 5 cars can roll over as well, adding a new level of excitement to the game.



Photo Mode : Photo Drive "Circuito" , Photo Stage "Stage Photo mode only"

Photo Travel Mode and Free Camera Movement Allow For a Deep and Rich Car Enthusiast Experience

"Positioning your favorite car in a beautiful location for a perfect picture...　First introduced in Gran Turismo 4 as a new outlet for the player's passion and enthusiasm for the beauty of cars, Photo Mode makes another leap forward in Gran Turismo 5.

Photo Travel mode lets you travel the world to visit beautiful locations and take pictures of your favorite cars.

Photo Travel is an update to the previous Photo Mode, with a brand new user interface and new vistas to experience and enjoy. In addition, players can now move around freely within the scene, giving them much more freedom to experiment and set up the perfect shot."




GT Mode : World Map , Garagem , Concessionários , Tuning Shop , Lavagem de Carros/Mudança do Óleo , Campeonatos , etc...

The World of Gran Turismo Expands to Further Reaches Online

"Gran Turismo 5 will take full advantage and push the boundaries of online gaming.

A multitude of features will be implemented into the online portion of Gran Turismo 5. Here are just some of the features recently revealed."




Arcade Mode : Single Race e 2 Players Battle , Time Trial , Drift

Corridas Online : Inclusão de Open Lobbys , Voice Chat , Text Chat , Private Rooms , Online Photo Album , Online Replay Album

Races and Track Days
First and foremost is the Race. In addition to the random matchmaking race events, as seen in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, players can now gather their closest friends and acquaintances, specify their own race rules, and custom tailor their racing experience to their own personal tastes.

Spectator Mode
If you're not quite up to racing on one particular day, or if you just want to watch how a really skilled player race live, the Spectator mode is the perfect solution. You can watch other users driving live in real-time, as they race, adding a new community-focused dimension to Gran Turismo 5’s expanding online feature set.

Friends
Gran Turismo 5 supports the Friend feature of Playstation Network. Once you add someone to our Friend list, you can share profile information, communicate with each other, and race with and against each other, allowing you to build and expand your circle of racing friends online.


Community
Gran Turismo 5’s online features don't stop at just playing and racing online. Players can chat amongst friends before they drive, exchange opinions via in-game message boards, and send private messages to one another. This is social networking tailored for the world of Gran Turismo.
