Yamauchi: GT5 looks 'Better than Reality'

Yamauchi: GT5 looks 'Better than Reality'

Kazunori Yamauchi, Head of Gran Turismo has responded to the Forza craze with some confident words of his own.

While talking to NowGamer, Yamauchi exclaimed that Gran Turismo not only looks amazing, but looks ‘better than reality’

"'Better than reality' – yeah, that's one way of putting it. In a way, it's kind of a given that it's going to look better than reality. The thing about reality is that the criteria for looking "real" are actually a lot stricter and volatile than you'd expect. The way the sun shines, reflects off something, the way it lights scenery – we seldom have the opportunity to see what we consider "reality" under the best and most aesthetically pleasing conditions.”

He continued, saying: “Every time we go out to the circuit and take photos of cars, we get that same impression again. When you see a race on television, compared to a race in a game, you realise that the reality isn't as shiny or pleasant as the game. However, these "best conditions" do indeed exist. They happen every once in a while. Maybe, once a year, you'll be watching a race on TV, or you'll be outside, and a cloud will move in an ideal direction, and the sun will shine down at a perfect angle, and maybe just for a moment you'll have this beautiful scene right in front of you.”

Now that’s a lot of talk, but is it enough to rival Forza?

Am i the only one who finds the tracks, and surrounding environments to looks a little lackluster-ish??? The cars look amazing, but all the other textures don't look as good, i think it makes the car look out of place....

I have mixed feelings about this game. As good as 1000+ cars and all the different tracks are, I think this game could get boring after a while since there is no real story/objective. You race, win money, buy cars repeat. I am only hoping that I am wrong because I really want this game. Please Poliphony Digital, let it be good

1000+ cars...well, does it necessarily mean a good thing though? In terms of variety maybe. But would that make it a better game? Not so sure....i meant any race fan (or even not race fan) here really care about driving a Daewoo Matiz 0.8 '04 or a Toyota Camry LE '95 on the track? Do you really want to drive a Hyundai Excel '90 to compete others in a race? At least majority of us wouldn't. And it just won't give extra fun factor..

Not saying more cars is a bad thing, to a certain level, it's always welcome, but c'mon, 1000 cars, does it really make GT5 a better game just because it include some cars literally no one cares about?

Same as Music CD, would you prefer to buy a CD with 2 good songs and rest 30 crap songs or a CD with just 10 classic songs on it? (Please don't start talking about, you won't even buying CDs, bla bla bla)

I think why they have so many cars is say for example you own a Corolla or whatever but want to race it on a track you can do so in GT5.

Forza 3 is gonna rock and its out in a couple of weeks where's GT eh? and yes GTADude ive noticed that also looks pretty odd. Tell you one thing if this is like all the other GTs but in HD ill be giving it a miss. This game needs a total revamp in my eyes

Jesus dumbnuttz, do you think every ps3 exclusive is rubbish? i dont know what your doing on these forums. how about you go on my360 and go on about how Master Cheif is an engaging and interesting character when Nathan Drake is someone who no one cares about. or how forza, who features 400 cars? rubbish graphics, and has been rushed to be released, will be better than Gran Turismo 5, which has been in construction for many years, feature over 1000 cars, and probably the best graphics ever seen in a game.

If you have kept up to date with GT5 you would know that they have built it from scratch. Thats why it has taken so long to make. Forza 3 may be a good game but GT5 is going to be 10x better.

I would love to drive them around High Speed Ring. Just kidding, anyway who says those cars will even be in the game. I have a feeling that most of the cars will be good except for the occasional **** box. Well we really cant comment until we have an official car list but we can hope for the best

Edit: Forgot to add, I love the avatar. Harden the **** up Australia
