Kazunori Yamauchi s'est justifié ... heu je vouslais dire a répondu aux questions de ses fans (japonais) sur twitter :
* Flexible camera angles and “dynamic and wide-area lighting needs” are to blame for the sometimes blocky shadows. Yamauchi admits they are a problem and wants to improve them.
* Yamauchi appears to consider the possibility of removing the in-game HUD (heads-up-display features) at some point in the future.
* To unlock the Red Bull X1, you’ll need to complete the “Sebastian Vettel Challenge”, which appears at Level 30.
* Online “lounge” functionality and other features will be added “one by one”.
* Polyphony Digital continues to work on fully supporting the Logitech G25 and G27, though Yamauchi admits he would like a “new steering device soon”…
* Mechanical damage options will be implemented in a new update for GT5 coming “early December”.
* As you may know, many players noticed that GT5’s face-tracking functionality only worked in Arcade mode. According to Yamauchi, it’s not available in GT mode due to memory issues with the PS3.
* In-game rewards (such as the monetary prize in GT5 Prologue) for your performance in online events is something Polyphony Digital is considering, and may be implemented in a future update.
* Gran Turismo 5’s official, 2-disc sound-track will be released soon.
* Yamauchi wanted to implement a “free roam” gameplay mode in GT5, where players could drive around, respecting speed limits and obeying traffic laws, and even exit the car to walk around and explore the environment on foot.
* The YouTube replay upload feature had to be pulled from the final version of the game because it took a very long time to render and it consumed too much memory. Yamauchi is still considering it, however.
Déjà que le head-tracking semblait peu intéressant vu qu'il n'était utilisable qu'en vue cockpit, mais en plus il n'est utilisable qu'en mode arcade ... mouahahahah
Entre ça et l'upload Youtube qui ne verra jamais le jour (c'est la traduction officielle de "Yamauchi is still considering it"), ça n'était pas la peine d'en parler n_n
Ouf on a échappé au "free roam". Il y a déjà le HOME comme truc inutile sur la PS3, c'était pas la peine d'en faire un clone dans GT5.
Quant au HUD, a défaut de pouvoir le retiré, s'il pouvais être en 3D, ca sera sympa, car pour l'instant ca limite pas mal les réglages. On ne peut pas provoquer de "jaillissement" de l'écran, car le HUD en 2D est toujours positionné devant les éléments, même quand ceux-ci on une profondeur négative ... ce qui fait très bizarre et est même désagréable.
Je serais encore dispo ce soir et demain soir pour quelques parties enflammées, mais pas là le vendredi soir et le week-end.
