Polyphony answers some questions about GranTurismo PSP

PS Blog - On the heels of a video interview with Polyphony Dev Kazunori Yamauchi, Playstation Blog posted a series of questions from fans to Polyphony and Polyphony's answers.

Could we expect any compatibility of Gran Turismo PSP with Gran Turismo 5 (like Resistance: Retribution with Resistance 2)? - TRIX_BOL

Polyphony has always pushed the hardware boundaries of every console it?s been released on?and while this isn?t really answering your question, it does leave it open for you to imagine the possibilities.

Is GT PSP going to have DLCs (such as new cars, tracks, etc..)? - TRIX_BOL

We?re planning on having 800+ cars right out of the box, which is pretty much a lifetime?s worth of racing (I?m still unlocking cars from GT4). With that sort of breadth and reach of options, having DLC would be like tossing water into the ocean.

Will cars get damaged on GT PSP? - TRIX_BOL

Damage? No. 800+ cars, 35 tracks, on-the-go awesomeness, and a lifetime?s worth of racing, yes.

Will we see Porche, Lamborghini in the PSP version? - wbrinkman

Our car selection is pretty broad ? there is a lot of candy, that?s for sure ? but as far as flavors, you?ll just have to wait a bit more.

Will there be a downloadable demo of Gran Turismo for the PSP? - grashopper

We wish we can provide one, but at this time, there are no plans. We are focusing our efforts on Gran Turismo and GT5.

It appears that the AI car count is 3 cars on track. Counting you, there would be 4 cars in the race. Wouldn?t it have been better to drop the framerate of the game from 60 to 30 and increased the car count? - grashopper

We went through many experiments but came to the conclusion that having three opponents gives you the best portable racing experience while maintaining the Gran Turismo level of quality.

Cmon fellas?GT5 Prologue update? Eh, eh? Custom soundtracks? Maybe trophies, a lobby system? Screenshot function? - FoomMan

Sorry FoomMan, we?re around the bend and down the straight: the team?s main focus at this point is making sure GT PSP (and GT5) are in your hands.

Limited or no compatability with GT5. That too bad. It could be fun.
No DLC for GT PSP. I don't really care about that since GT PSP seems to be fairly loaded.
No damage? WTF? Lame.
I'd like to see them nail down some manufacturers and models, although it won't really influence my purchase.
No demo? I don't care, as I'll be picking up the game regardless and I think we all know what the GT series is about. Really no surprises.
Only three AI cars. WTF? Lame.

Which straight away? The backside of the track? 😉

Anyone heard anything about online gameplay?
 
I hate when they do these interviews and don't give straight answers. Why even bother having the interview in the first place?
 
I'm starting to hate Polyphony Digital and their lack of information. The game is coming out in 2 1/2 months, surely to god you can give us more info on the game. I don't even want to start on GT5 info. Hell, if I'm still having a blast with iRacing, I'm not sure I care when GT5 comes out.

Is iRacing that subscription-based one?

My favorite answer from this interview: when asked about updates for GT5P, the developer brushes the question off as if it were a bothersome gnat and basically says, screw GT5P. We put that out with no intention of doing anything for it, just to get you guys off our backs on when GT5 was coming.

Now, I know it was built to be just a taste, but given that the full version was so far out and the capability to offer DLC for it, you'd think they could have released another track or two, or some other gameplay options and challenges.

😕 There have been plenty of different GT5😛 online challenges.

I agree. The release is soon and barely any info has been given about the game.
 
One other thought; I'm buying the game, but I have serious doubts about the controls on the PSP. The only analog controller is one thumb stick. The button aren't analog on the PSP...are they? I haven't noticed if they are.

They're not. I can't imagine trying to steer with that little nub, either.

I wish they would just delay it and re-work it for the PSP2.

Yep. If you ever want to sign up for a month to try it, put me as a referral, I get credits for the service! 🙂

EDIT: You gotta sign up for 3 months minimum, not just one month.

Yall act like Polyphony is doing something new and not releasing a lot of info.

lol. Maybe they're do something else revolutionary such as not releasing games. I think this is pretty much just the GT4 port we were promised four years ago. Nothing new added, just toned down graphics and a new name. I'll probably end up getting Motorstom instead of this. Be nice if I could find Race Driver 2006 for PSP. Supposedly one of the best racers for the platform. It seemed to vanish from stores and goes for a lot on eBay.

I bet they'll delay it again. Five and a half years clearly isn't enough time to finish this game. What's six more months?
 
Only 3 AI cars?

Wow, I was thinking about rebuying a PSP just for this game, and maybe MGS Peacewalker, but my interest waning fast.
 
I am curious about the 800+ car claim. I remember that GT2 had over 300 cars or something like that, but I also remember a lot of them being the same car at different trim levels. I think there were something like 8 or 9 different standard Subaru Imprezas you could buy in the game. Hopefully, this doesn't end up the same.

What's worse is that interview was posted at the official Sony Playstation blog.
