Gran Turismo 5 To Support Playstation Move?

Posted on May 24th, 2010 in Console – 14 Comments

The British MCV gaming business magazine has picked up on an interesting rumor regarding Gran Turismo 5. According to a source close to Sony, GT5 will not just be one of the first Playstation 3 titles to be available in 3D but also support Sony’s upcoming Move controller system.

According to the source, both features have played a huge role in the extended development time of Gran Turismo 5 and might just be the reason why the March-release in Japan was hastily called off earlier this year. But while driving in 3D can arguably add something to the immersion, it’s hard to understand what the Move compatibility will add to Gran Turismo 5. A title that is advertised as “Real Driving Simulator” should be driven with a proper steering wheel or, the very least, a gamepad.

More details on this can be expected in 22 days as Gran Turismo 5 will be having a major presence at this year’s E3 Entertainment Expo. The Playstation Move is Sony’s take on a motion-sensing game controller that has made Nintendo’s Wii console popular among many gamers. The controller is used together with a Playstation Eye webcam that tracks the players’ movements. Move is planned to hit the market in Q4 2010, selling for around 100 US-Dollars.

Gran Turismo 5 will be bringing 1000 cars and over 60 tracks to the Playstation 3, including new features such as damage, weather and day/night effects. There’s no date for either the release of the Japanese or the International versions yet. GT5 will be one of the first six Playstation 3 games to be available in 3D.

    Just excuses to buy more time to complete it. There was no point in delaying a Driving Sim for a toy.

    Haha, the most stupid excuse i have ever read.

    Driving an car with such thing? my ass that is never gonna work. The only useful thing of it might be gear shifting, but that is all.

    I hope e3 will give some answers, and a RELEASE DATE!

  • SergeantBoner

    OMFG!!! just release the damned game already! Soon they will probably buy themselves some more time by adding ‘smell-o-vision’… or you have to pay for the gas in the game using you own creditcard

    I still think , Sony is the king of hype generation… read free advertising.. :-)

    Hey, it’s not like you HAVE to use it… Besides, it could be for the simplest of things; a cursor for menus, looking around etc.

    I don’t get this “buying time” thing. I havn’t met anyone who says “oh gee-wiz, look at that. I’d wait another year for 3D/Move/head tracking”. If anything, it’s just frustrating people like SergeantBoner. Sony/PD are giving people options because not everyone is a hardcore pro serious simracer. That’s how they sell games, and it’s hardly going to affect the game itself is it?

    And who said anything about a delay?

    DildoPad… That would sell :sd:

  • Gaiajohan

    They should release the game, and add all this nonsense in a patch…
    But well, Polyphony should know they’re a bit too late now.. Maybe GT5 will be a launch title of the PS4…

    So you need to find a partner to stick that move thing their arse and then u have stick shift?

  • Firestarter

    Do i need a blue bulb on my head to make the game track my head? Or do i need that dildo thing? I don`t know what my neighbour will think if i get caught in the act.

    So buy a different game! There is plenty choice. The whole point of GT is that it is supposed to be a realistic sim.

    I get pretty sick of the thinking that every game has to appeal to the widest market possible even if that is to the detriment of the game. Every game doesn’t have to appeal to everyone!! If you don’t like sims, don’t buy it and get something else a little less realistic. Bloody hell we are getting to a place now where every driving game feels the same, every fps feels the same, etc etc. What’s the bloody point??

    It’s probably got something do with the crazy obsession that games have to sell 5 million copies or it’s not worth it. So dumb…
