Gran Turismo 5 isn’t realistic – it’s super-real. We know because creator Kazunori Yamauchi told NowGamer so.
“In a way, it’s kind of a given that it’s going to look better than reality,” he said.
“The thing about reality is that the criteria for looking ‘real’ are actually a lot stricter and volatile than you’d expect: the way the sun shines, reflects off something, the way it lights scenery – we seldom have the opportunity to see what we consider ‘reality’ under the best and most aesthetically pleasing conditions.”
Hot shit. There’s more.
“Every time we go out to the circuit and take photos of cars, we get that same impression again,” he added.
“When you see a race on television, compared to a race in a game, you realise that the reality isn’t as shiny or pleasant as the game. However, these ‘best conditions’ do indeed exist. They happen every once in a while. Maybe, once a year, you’ll be watching a race on TV, or you’ll be outside, and a cloud will move in an ideal direction, and the sun will shine down at a perfect angle, and maybe just for a moment you’ll have this beautiful scene right in front of you.”
Japan will be going beyond reality in March.
