Polyphony Digital still working on GT5 having a stable framerate

1 min read

GlitchyGT5

Polyphony Digital boss, Kaz Yamauchi, has stated in the latest version of the PSM3 magazine that GT5 may at times drop below the promised 60fps and for that he begs your forgiveness.

Now I’m not a GT fan at all so I can’t say for sure if it’s important that the framerate drops in certain circumstances but that’s not what worries me about this.

The thing that jumps out the page to me is when he states the following

“Our engineers complain every day: ‘Isn’t it enough that it’s in 1080p? Does it have to be 60fps too?’ But I think 60fps is very important, so we’re working towards perfecting that.”

Now wasn’t GT5 meant to be completed already with just a minor technical issue that was still outstanding, the rumour being that the delay was purely down to a change in firmware?

We are still being told to expect GT5 before Christmas but on the recent PS3 IGN podcast the guys weren’t confident that it would arrive in time and if they are still working on issues like this I would have to agree with them.

GT5 in February 2011 maybe?

    Ah f it, getting real fedup with this whole ordeal. George Broussard and Kaz must be brothers from a different mother. Come on already.

    Luckily, F1 will keep me busy for the months to come!

    well i guess what the frame rate drop was? if its staying above 30fps its still ok but anything under and your likely to land up in walls or other things due to lag in handling and so on. Other problems come in with inconsistancy of play. Even a drop from 60fps to 40fps going into a corner and your bound to either under/over steer. My opinion, if they cant keep it stable at 60, rather take it to 40/50fps and get in stable.

    1920x1080p or 1280x1080p???

    Anyway, 1080p is messing the game up.

    Hows about we not worry about these things, and see how the game is when we eventually get it? We’ve been waiting six years, a month or two won’t kill anyone. And I seriously doubt Polyphone will release an unfinished game, perfectionists that they are.

    I hadn’t heard of this before and after a quick search haven’t seen any posts where he admits to these framerate issues 3 months ago.

    Don’t worry lans, the game will arrive one day. We’re 90% confident of that

    i sent this to you earlier the news that the fps of gt5 will not hold was released at tokyo game show 2010

    getting link shortly
    Weather conditions are randomized. Forecasts for your race will be available but may not be entirely accurate, just like the real world.
    Polyphony Digital has helped Red Bull Racing’s Adrian Newey design the X1 Concept – an “ultimate” racing car, free of any technical regulations.
    Polyphony Digital has worked to improve engine sounds.
    Yamauchi admits that, in certain situations – such as standing race starts in the rain with 15 other cars on the screen kicking up spray in front of you – the game may not be able to hold 60FPS. Otherwise, it will strive to hold 60FPS as often as possible.
    The Volkswagen Kubelwagen, which has a drive system like the first beetle, and the amphibious Volkswagen Schwimmwagen will be in the game.
    Many things didn’t make the cut in Gran Turismo 5, and work on Gran Turismo 6 has already begun.

    This post will continue to be updated as more information is released.http://www.gtplanet.net/gran-turismo-5-tgs-2010-breakout-session-full-details/

    Lans, listen. You don’t like a story Gavin posted. In turn, you are treating him like shit for that reason alone. You have NO right to treat someone like this, and if you were face to face with Gavin or anyone here, you’d cower. It’s not worth treating someone like this for. If you are constructive, you will get MUCH better of a response.

    And a hippo? wtf is that even mean? And a hypocrite? How? Hypocrite means “a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings” How am I acting contrary to what I have states as a belief or feeling?

    Keep in mind, you went off on me because I said you weren’t a nice person. Ever heard the term “over reaction”?

    I’m not insulting you. I’m calling you out on what you’ve done wrong.

    Because it’s “the interwebs” doesn’t mean you have the right to treat people like dirt. You are interacting with REAL PEOPLE here, and because you can’t see their face doesn’t mean that you have the right to treat them like you are.

    And seriously, you are ANGRY that they may have reported a story a little late? Isn’t that better then not at all? Hasn’t their track record here proved that they know what they’re doing? I would loooooooooove to know how you’re not insulting Gavin by yelling and screaming at him and telling him you’re gonna smear his face on the screen. You must be that freak that was here last week going off on everyone.

    Now go ahead and “go postal”. I’d like to see how it is different then your amazing anger over a video game story being reported here later then another source.

    Gavin? How could you do such a thing? How could you report a story that is more then 14 seconds old! I can’t believe you’d do such a thing. I’ll never, ever, come back to your site again until the next time I come here! Take THAT! ^_^

    P.S. Gavin, you’re right, he is fun!

How are you a sheep for accepting … what? Wow, you managed to bring in things that have nothing to do with this. Your brilliance is unmatched! heh

    I’m a woman, not a girl. But I’m sure you’ll find a way to insult that too, in some way that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

    I haven’t given up, as you said. You’re just not worth the effort to do anything more. I’ve kept a level head here, and I will, because I’m totally loving your attitude. You are absolutely hilarious and the perfect example of a typical Internet freak.

    Second you are calling me names constantly like some insecure puppy, barking everywhere!
    its simple luna ignore me ill ignore you very well i promise im quite good at that!

    if you dont understand whats going on in a gt5 thread rather hang back and understand whats going on in slow, safe and controlled manner so you can asses the situation, jumping in and attacking me without knowing whats going on will only get you killed.

    information is key!
    the moment you commented in a thread you know nothing about is the moment you lost the battle!

    you obviously know next to nothing about gt and know next to nothing about how much i love this game!

    No, GT4, only went online if you used a peach to connect to the Internet. The fastest car was the Yugo. My favorite track was the perfect re-creation of my driveway. Weather was taken out of every track that you like. They told me that fact specifically. They are also replacing the go karts with tricycles and adding hurricane force winds!

    First up this report is relating to a different quote the the article you refer to, yes they both speak of the same issue, but it’s now just being reiterated.
    But for me the only thing you have managed to prove is that you are failing English miserably. Perhaps you should cut back on the GT time and try some school work first.
