GT5 "More Suited To The Next Generation Of Machines"
They've worked and worked and worked and worked. It has taken a lot of time, a lot of effort, and a lot of money. But the final achievement should be so mind-boggling, the experience will be well worth the wait.
At least, Polyphony Digital boss and Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi says so. In the most recent issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine, he somehow managed to push the already towering hype to new heights by saying GT5 is actually almost too advanced even for the PlayStation 3. There are two particular quotes that have started to raise eyebrows, and they are as follows:
"The level of precision we've achieved [in GT5] is actually more suited to the next generation of machines. The detail that goes into a premium model [has] gone beyond the level of the current PlayStation."
The article goes on to say that the game in question "accurately models mechanical and cosmetic damage to an absurd degree, and whilst the classic models will buckle and crumple, those newer models will near-disintegrate." We told you before that given the gargantuan anticipation and expectations for GT5, it absolutely needed to become the best simulator ever. ...but the more we see and hear, the more we're convinced that's a foregone conclusion.

IIRC it was 4 PS3s and they were running the game in the equivalent of 2160p, and this was using the older engine that was in GT5P. They also demo'd the game running in stereoscopic 3D about two years or so ago, and again it was running on 4 PS3s in a cluster IIRC, it ran 3D in full 1080p.
Personally I think that a 4 PS3 cluster is a sign of things to come in terms of what a possible PS4 might offer. The original Cell design anticipated Cells running in clusters. Potentially the easiest way forward for Sony would be to take IBM's enhanced Cell design (the PowerXCell 8i) and put two of them running at 4GHz inside the successor to PS3. Each PowerXcell 8i would have all 8 SPEs available giving the system a total of 16 (15 available) enhanced SPE cores, compared to 7 (6 available). The improved single precision performance and vastly improved double precision performance would increase the performance of those new SPEs far above the existing versions. That would give the PS4 approximately 4 times the power of the PS3. With a modern GPU design and a decent amount of RAM, that would make a very easy, and powerful upgrade over the PS3.

I just don't see the point of telling potential buyers that the game you're about to get was possibly limited by the hardware it runs on.

I downloaded a 18 mega pixel shot of a Lexus for my XMB wallpaper that showed every bolt, cable, hose, and radiator groove via the grille of the car.
With those photo mode pictures, a user such as myself who will view (GT5 through a 65" 1080p Mits), can take the time and check the automobile down the the last nut and bolt.
If I was as fortunate to have my own personal car featured in the game, I would be estatic over PD's dedication to reproducing my car at such an authentic level.
I only mention this because it would be impossible for the PS3 to display this level in game with 16 cars, weather, damage, and a working time of day clock. PS4? I am sure it will be able to.

It's my favorite anime style ladies. From left to right it's Mizuho Kazami from Please Teacher in black with her signature magenta hair, Shion Uzuki from Xenosaga in the middle with her copper red hair and very little clothing, and of course on the right we have KOS-MOS also from Xenosaga with her trademark blue hair and super tight armor.

If they think that the game is more suited to the next generation of console with the massive detail in the premium car models, does this mean that a) PD has seen early specs for the PS4, b) that the PS4 will include even more parallel processing with heavy optimization for physics work and c) PD thinks that the next PlayStation will be an absolute monster and d) this game is an absolute monster that really pushes the PS3 hard, and they already know where they can make it even better, once the hardware is there.

Before I have the torches and pitchforks at my throat, listen carefully. I am not saying that it won't; I am not even saying I think it won't. What I am posing is a question to everyone here, and that is, what if it isn't everything they say it will be.
I only ask because I for one will be getting this on day one regardless of if I can really afford it or not. I would get a paycheck advance if needed to get this game the day it comes out. That said, I am expecting a huge showing from this title as I am sure most others are as well. But, what happens if it is not all it is said to be. I for one am going to be very upset if the car design doesn't fool my eyes into thinking I am looking at the actual machine. I am going to be unhappy if the interiors of the premium modelled cars don't have every stitch in the fabric, dimple in the leather, and moulding joint in the dashes.
This game is building up a ton of hype and I for one really think that after all this time it can deliver but what if it doesn't? How are you guys going to feel? Will you write it off and still be happy with what it does do? Will you be slightly upset with the fact that the hype outshined the finally offering?

i remember reading that all the cars in GT5 except the pro ones are upscaled models of GT4.
if true, that is SO! disappointing! very last gen, let alone this gen, let alone next gen!!!!!!!
anyway, can we stop with all this hyping up please?
see, this is exactly why im always disappointed when a new game comes out.
the media hype it up and sometimes the developers or publishers hype a game up to be the second coming.
what is it with this industry now and hyping everything up as the reinvention of the wheel?
like capcom hyped up a new announcement and it turned out to be new info on MVC3.
they hyped it up to be a new big game, like DMC5 or something but turned out to be a preexisting game.

Some of you made very valid interpretations. One thing that we must know is that translation is always rough, and sometimes if we take each word literally from it, it doesn't make sense, just like this one.
We just gotta take the overall idea on it, which I can agree with some you. It's confusing, but I'm going with the idea that the details and work they put into the models are more suited for next gen, which is why it took so long. It's actually something that was quoted before (twitter interview). Not the exact same thing, but similar idea.
