      Gran Turismo 5 cost $60 million in development

      November 6, 2009 /

      Gran Turismo 5 cars.As you might expect, the Gran Turismo team was on site at the SEMA car show in Vegas to promote the game. Creative director Kazunori Yamauchi was there running demos and talking to the press. He dropped a big bomb on a small audience when he estimated the cost of Gran Turismo 5 development at $60 million.

      The massive price tag mostly came from the need to develop a new engine for the game. “We threw away the legacy code from GT4 and started from scratch … It’s been five years [since the release of] GT4, and that’s the same amount of time it took to develop the first GT4,” he said. Yamauchi also deferred the issue of release dates outside Japan to Sony marketing, claiming it’s their decision when the game will get a date. Most people, myself included, are anticipating a first half (though probably second quarter) 2010 release.

      Mercedes 300SL Gullwing Coupe.If you’re worried you won’t have anything to do over the holidays this year you can stop. From the looks of things, the release of Forza 3 should keep you busy well on through the new year and into 2010, when you can catch all the major releases that got delayed. Turn 10 released the full list of cars on its upcoming 2-disc racer, a list that boasts more than 400 cars from the last 50 years or so.

      The oldest car, the legendary 1954 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, is like a teaser to a great meal. All 400+ vehicles will be available with complete customization when the game launches on the 27th this month. You really do get a chance to drive almost anything in the game, from Asian imports to European classics, American Muscle to the Italian supercar, there’s something for everyone in a game that looks to expand Microsoft’s answer to the Gran Turismo franchise. You can see the full list of cars at the official Forza Motorsport website.

      GT5 News Coming “Very Soon”

      August 19, 2009 /

      Gran Turismo 5 looking sharp.According to VG247, SCEE president Andrew House said there would be news on GT5 “very soon.” The comment comes after Sony was quiet about the famed racing franchise during GamesCom this year.

      “I am not going to make a prediction on that but I think you will see something on GT5 very soon,” said House. Could that mean the Tokyo Games Show? Seems like an ideal spot to unveil some serious news about the game everyone’s been waiting on for years now.

      The weird part about the whole thing is that GT5 was actually playable at GamesCom this year. Sony has also apparently released screens of a few menu and options changes. So why not talk about it? Why not give some inclination that you even care the game exists? I try not to puzzle these things too long because often the logic of the scenario just eludes me. At any rate, hopefully we’ll have some actual news regarding Gran Turismo soon.
