Gran Turismo 5 is set to release Nov. 24th. And if your wondering if it has Custom Soundtracks. According to Jeff Rubinstein of SCEA, it does and "There’s even a Trophy for using it!"
Weird - I watched the Gamespot Live preview earlier and the guy quite clearly said that he knew of no custom music function and was unable to find it in the menu....
I don't know who to believe - is the SCEA man with all his inside information lying? Or is it that the "professional" Gamespot (p)reviewer is woefully misinformed about a game he's going to publish a review for in 1 day?
Those 2 guys didn't had a good info for people. That happens when there are Live Previews with only 1 hour, they skipped different things and a lot more features they didn't mention.
Custom Soundtrack was confirmed long time ago.
And the official number of Soundtracks in GT5 are 189 Songs, plenty of Variety.
Yeah if you follow the GTPlanet forums it was already said that there is custom soundtracks in the game. That review earlier today from gamespot was mediocre.
The Gamespot buffoons are stupid in live plays anyway.
Far too much have I seen them terribly trying to multitask playing a game and doing an interview. It just doesn't work. They come off as real unprofessional.
@edit
The GT play isn't actually that bad, but usually they tend to stutter and lose track
I think Sony is trying to encourge us to steal the game before its released. Most people are going to buy it day 1 already and yet they keep showing/confirming stuff that makes us go crazy.
The gamespot preview was completely lame. They didn't act like anything in the game was fun. I don't know how anyone can sit their and talk like he is doing role call like Ben Stein in Ferric Buller. They were monotone, and basically called everything a disappointment.
Another video revealed that features unlock throughout the entire game. This other video showed that the severity of damage increases as you level up. The game basically lets you learn the art of driving before it sends you off to wreck.
The called AI poor when we have seen plenty of videos showing the AI manuevering around accidents. He was upset that AI cars dont wreck and cause major collisons. Really? Good AI replicates bad driving? Holy hell he and the other douche with him were idiots.
Loading still not fast? 20 secs is to slow? I have completely given up on GS. Who knows though, they could turn around and actually review it properly and give it the score it deserves.
ANYWAY ON TOPIC AT HAND: 189 Songs is ridonkulous! I definitely plan on putting some good Driving Music on there! Here is a list of some driving songs you may want to add to your HDD. Some sweet cruising tunes: http://hubpages.com/hub/Bes...
That's it! Time for move one or two thousand MP3 files to PS3 HDD. The much time I'm goint to waste in this game, chances are I'll need that many musics to not get bored of the soundtrack! LOL
I wish the PS3 had an in-game music streaming feature similar to the 360. I don't want to have to waste my PS3's HDD with songs already saved on my PC.
I was wondering why no one had been talking about this feature.
Seems if it wasnt there, there would be plenty of talk about it.
Anyway, most games I prefer the ingame music as it suits the atmosphere or situation, but racing is one of the genres its good to chuck your own music in.
I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel There's a voice in my head that drives my heel It's my baby callin', says I need you here And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear When she is lonely and the longing gets too much She sends a cable comin' in from above Don't need no phone at all We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
Thanks man - I do know, was just trying to make a point about the poor journalistic practice of gamespot (although they're far from the only site that does a disservice to the gaming community).
I'm still a little confused. Most, if not all, of the GT games have has some sort of "custom soundtrack" because you could pick and choose which songs in the game play and which ones do not but what exactly do they mean by "custom soundtrack"? Does that mean like we all think that we can play whatever MP3s we have saved on our PS3's HDD or does that mean you can edit the GT5 playlist to only play certain songs? I don't think I have ever seen this answered to my satisfaction. I'd love to be able to play my own and I even loaded up 6.5 gigs of music on my PS3 in anticipation, so hopefully I can use it.
Metal Gear Solid 4 - 10 (360 has no 10 games from Gamespot) Uncharted 2 - 9.5 God Of War 3 - 9 Demon's Souls - 9 inFamous - 9 MLB The Show 09 - 9 Killzone 2 - 9 Resistance 2 - 9 Little Big Planet - 9 Resistance 1 - 8.6 Heavy Rain - 8.5 Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time - 8.5 MLB The Show 08- 8.5 MLB The Show 07- 8.2 Modnation Racers - 8 Yakuza 3 - 8 MLB The Show 10 - 8 MAG - 8 (Mind you most people gave this a 7) MotorStorm: Pacific Rift - 8 Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - 8 Heavenly Sword - 8
Regardless, they probably gave one game a score he didnt agree with so now they are teh bias!!1!
Fact that they gave KZ2 some GOTY awards and the reviews generally always fall within the range of other sites. None of this matter, because we're fickle.... :/
You proved it yourself, those scores should be higher.
And MAG was a 10 for me, I'm not sure what game those "most people" you are talking about were playing, but they sure as hell must not have had the game, or sucked ass. It's one of the best MP game I've ever played.
@T9X69 *sigh you still posting that list? Gamespots GT review record GT1 = 8.6 GT2 = 8.5 GT3 = 9.4 GT4 = 8.9 GT5 = ??? Coming soon. Now for Forza Forza1 = 9.2 Forza2 = 9.2 Forza3 = 9.5 Notice (again)how only one title in the gt series scored in the 90th percentile.
36 CrazyFists All That Remains Some classic Anthrax Bullet For My Valentine Corrosion of Conformity Exodus Fear Factory Megadeth Mudvayne Rammstein SOD Slipknot Spineshank Classic Suicidal Tendencies Static X And a lot more I can't think of right now.
That is the exact same choices I'll have. In between Gorgoroth, Monstrosity, Immortal, and Lord Gore, you gotta throw in some Maximum the Hormone and Perfume. Haha.
I think that the games original music might be the best 'driving music'. If i play a custom soundtrack in a game, i end up being distracted by the music and turn it back off.
You can turn off the music in race and have it only on in replay and menus if you prefer, that's how I'll probably do in any "serious" race. But, if I'm just fooling around I'll have some hard rock, blues, jazz and maybe even some old pop just for kicks.
Ditto. I sometimes need to concentrate on a really challenging race but i fit's not a big deal or it's a long endurance race, the music helps to an extent. It's just got to be the right music, lol.
AWESOME! hope its true, i can c me drivin in GT5 with Thin Lizzy playin over it http://www.youtube.com/watc... (its the solo that does it 4me, gives me a solid hard-on)

Nice, I look forward to cruising in a few oldie cars while listening to some classic 60s tunes :)
well it is gamespot a place were they hate ps3 games, also the moron that says so was a complete inexpert.
OK guys, what soundtracks are you personally going to have? (If any)
Edit: got a disagree for asking a question...
Anyway mine is going to be a electro rock mix tbh. Hadouken, Julien K, Boom Boom Satellites, Blue Stahli and the like :)
