One of the most significant things to emerge from the Tokyo Games Show was the existence of Gran Turismo HD as a real product, rather than just a tech-demo. Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi (known universally as Kazunori-san) held a press conference on Sony's stand at the show to explain GT HD, and CVG were subsequently lucky enough to be taken for a tour of the Polyphony offices and interviewed the great man himself.
There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
Abby deserves to be number 1.
He was created to appease the poison colored haired employees at Naughty Dog and their fantasy of hating all of their fathers for lack thereof. This was the worst case of a company that was in charge of a media hating their own fans.
Streamers would straight up be reported or even banned for letting Abby die in the boss fight while playing as a fake female that has a man's motion capture.
Abby as a human wouldn't exist in a ruined world with that musculature because there wouldn't be enough available protein in the world to maintain all that manly muscle mass unless cannibalism was Introduced.
Abby wasn't just terrible for the games narrative but in totality with the media reputation included. If that wasn't so tarnished the fans would have already gotten a 3rd game in the once loved series.
And with that flat chest having Abby as the main character would title the Game The Last of Us Tranz 3 Parts removed
Other "game-type metaverse" projects in the works
Would love PlayStation Home 2 on PS5 with seamless transitions between different areas.
Yeah, although I’m worried if it does come back idiots will say it’s jumping on the metaverae trend not realising it did this years ago
They'd have a hard time doing that if it's called Playstation Home 2. That raises the question of what the first one was.
Given you're talking about online speeds and connectivity, not the PS5 itself, you're not escaping loading screens.
SSD speeds so quick you could open a door in PS Home to walk your Avatar through a portal to launch a game.
They could do something like Peach's Castle in Mario 64 and your library of titles are the portraits
@ Jin:” Would love PlayStation Home 2 on PS5 with seamless transitions between different areas.”
I second that plus a vr option added to it
There's still IMVU and Second Life but they're not quite like PS Home. Btw folks the Home restoration project is still going and they have brought Home back online through the PS3 emulator. So if y'all interested in goin back HOME there's that.
He just said it was ahead of its time. Super slow HDD made it awful when traversing areas.
It was trash 🗑️ and it still is. Walking around to go into stores etc is cringe and makes no sense at all. The hype around metaverse is totally overblown
@OptimusDK
You don’t speak for everyone. Many people enjoyed it. But I do agree with the Metaverse being overblown.
@OptimusDK You don’t know what you’re talking about. This was a good place to meet people.
Beware the phantom cars of the Nurburgring! LOL.
When i get my PS3 this game won,t be on my list.
Bring on Motorstorm.
ill wait for GT5.
IM OUT
Reading this has actually changed my mind about GTHD, i think the gameplay will be better than i previously thought. Also apparently this game will include a form of car damage, which i originally thought they were first including in GT5. And the online ideas sound cool. Also the cost of the game itself will be absolute peanuts. Sounds good to me
Based on this interview and Phil's interview... am I to assume that online play will not be free as previously assumed?
