pArth Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Gran Turismo 5’s “Head Tracking” Explained Shortly after Gran Turismo 5’s feature list popped up on Polyphony Digital’s website, pandemonium broke out as everyone rushed to secure an accurate translation. With the added excitement of the playable demo at GamesCom and our first look at damage, some pretty remarkable new features slipped under the collective radar. We’re going to put the spotlight on one of them today which could have an major impact on the racing game genre across platforms: “head tracking” with the PlayStation Eye. The concept itself is simple enough -- it’s a camera that tracks the movement of your head -- but the results are breathtaking. If you’ve never seen this new technology in action, watch the following demo and you’ll quickly realize the implications of such a feature in Gran Turismo 5: As we learned from Polyphony Digital’s website, you’ll be able to use this head tracking technology to manipulate the “cockpit camera” and presumably look through the corners and at your opponents with the simple turn of your head. From the translation (confirmed by Yamauchi): “…the movement of Cockpit Camera interface (confirmed in full 3-D). The camera can be fully manipulated and you can opt to have your head tracked by the PSEye” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karooo Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Head tracking is a pretty cool concept. But wont turning your head to the side to look out of a side window mean you're gonna be looking away from the screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playstation Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Nissan’s GT Academy Contest: A Motorsports Success? emember Nissan’s GT Academy program, which sought to turn Gran Turismo 5 champions into racing drivers? It seems to have produced a GT4-class victor. Lucas Ordoñez, along with co-driver Alex Buncombe, won the GT4 European Cup race in Spain last Saturday, allowing the duo to clinch the second-place series title. Eighteen months ago, however, Ordoñez was competing with thousands of other Playstation 3 gamers for a chance at some seat time. “This has been the most amazing 18 months,” said Ordoñez. “When I look back at what has happened to me since I entered the online part of GT Academy on my PS3 there are just too many fantastic moments to list. The whole experience has been like a dream." In 2008, Nissan announced its GT Academy program, which aimed to find the fastest GT5 player in Europe. The winner would then receive four months of race training, FIA racing licenses, and a car – a race-prepped 350Z – to field in the European GT4 championship. Although his team was plagued with a number of technical issues in the start, Ordoñez’s consistent driving helped ensure a string of victories. source Playstation, Gran Turismo and Nissan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalRajput Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 so today I met this guy who RECKONS he has got GT5 and Tekken 6 already on the PS3. He imports stuff including dirt cheap slim PS3's and sells them here. going to bring my copy of GT5 and Tekken 6 tomorrow. It's not the prologue. It's the real deal according to him. and it only costs $24! lets see if he is full of sh*t or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropicalRajput Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 impossible Tekken 6 might be true since it's launching next month but I also have my doubts about the GT5. Though he did explain me the story that how he got hold of so many copies and what he was saying was true and made sense. I hope he turns up tomorrow.
