Gran Turismo 5 Online Multiplayer Detailed

In the latest issue of Official Playstation Magazine, the 'My Lounge' for Gran Turismo 5 has been unvieled and detailed.

To quote the magazine:

"My Lounge is GT5's hub from which you'll access all of GT5's new online features. Hit the Community tab and you'll pull up a bulletin board filled with your latest stats and your recent mail from friends and other players.

You can browse through your friends' bulletin boards and check their progress on and offline, and send out mail and challenges. My Lounge supports voice chat for up to 32 players and lets you host 16-player online races or spectate on races in progress, as well as watch the GT-TV VOD service and race replays."

oooh awesome can't wait for it to release. :D

sounds good, I am still undecided about the game though

Great news.

I'm not fully convinced. I haven't seen a Japanese developer do an online component worth playing for more than 5 minutes with the exception of Demon's Souls..

I hate realistic racers, but GT5 just keeps adding more and more. Even I might pick it up.

Well with fighters I'm not sure of the cheating, more like cheesing...sometimes the game would have noticeable lag and people take advantage of it by doing things like spamming shoryukens and stuff since, with the lag the timing, for linking combos is whack so you get them with an uppercut while they are trying to do it. But the online themselves are pretty good none the less.

Great news.

Is what I was commenting about, I dont feel anyone is "climaxing" over the online, its just another piece of whats going to be a great game. Not that it matters, I smell lemming anyway.canoecamue

I love how GT5's online component is shaping up :D. The features and game modes revealed so far are enticing, especially considering how well the core physics / mechanics of the driving handles in general.

To those skeptical; what exactly has you feeling that way? I noticed some comment(s) regarding the fact that it's a Japanese developer, and that they haven't offered (you) enticing online games. How many Japanese sim-racing games have you played online this gen? What Japanese developed games don't you like online--remember genre can play a huge role into how a game plays online. If the hesitation is due to latency related issues, then Japanese developed games aren't exclusively stricken with such problems.

Honestly, I find it difficult to be cautious of GT5's online component based on the fact Polyphony Digital is a Japanese developer. Maybe GT5: Prologue wasn't good enough for you? According to interviews, it seems like Poly is taking online deadly serious for GT5--Prologue being a testing grounds of sorts. The announced online features so far is evidence to that focus I think :).

Yeah we see known PS3 haters come in here an bad mouth these new features announced for a PS3 exclusive, it's nothing new these same people/s have a history of bashing PS3 and defending everyting xbox360.

On topic:

Sound great, I can't wait I know it's going to be the best, I love polished racing games, and GT5 will surely be the best avalible on consoles.

most of the time watching J-dev trying to do online is like watching a dog eat taffy.

i hope it works out for them but i will have to see it to believe it.

Look at the way Metal Gear online was handled or Lost Planet or RE 5. The implementation of online in these games are clunky and archaic.

You've seen me post before, we may not have seen eye to eye on things but I hope that you've seen that I at least try to be fair and if I'm proven wrong I man up to it. I'm just waiting to be proven wrong. I don't have an issue with that. I can be really critical, but I always hope that at least my reasons are at the very least, understandable.

I will say that Demon's Souls online shows that when these guys get their heads out their asses they can do some pretty interesting stuff.

Shooters aside, let's take a look at PGR 3 and 4 which had awesome online features. Forza 2 and 3. Those are the racing game bars that GT5 has to meet.

The problem arises when a game is delayed for so long, doubt creeps in. The same happens with movies. Numerous delays invite skepticism.

^ Well considering that the online component in GT5 won't be tacked-on, should subtract from one of your worries. Also, Polyphony doesn't have their heads up their asses lol. It's fair to be skeptical, I was just wondering why exactly. Forza 3 and PGR are a few examples of superb online racing games that GT5 will be matched against. I'm eager to see how it turns out.
