EuroGamer was first to share new details that emerged from the private GT5 presentation Yamauchi hosted at E3 on Wednesday, and now we�ve got even more information from MotorTrend, Kotaku, IGN, and GameSpot. Now, in addition to the new details I�ve already covered, here�s what we know:
- Polyphony Digital is working on reducing load times and is still tweaking graphics ahead of the November release date.
- The game has nearly filled all of the space available on Blu-Ray disc.
- You�ll have the option to synchronize the game�s time of day with the track�s current local time.
- The crowds will be dynamic, so there will be more tents, cars, and motorhomes at longer races.
- Yamauchi admits his team may have �actually gone too far in modeling some of this detail� and suggested it might be �more suited to the next generation of PlayStation.�
- Both high and low-beam headlights will be included, so you can flash slower cars as you�re about to pass them (how awesome will this be during the 24 hour races!?!). All lights will illuminate dirt, smoke, or other debris in the air.
- NASCAR insisted that all of their series� cars be playable on all circuits in the game.
- It was previously mentioned that only 9 NASCAR cars will be included, but this was incorrect. There are simply 9 cars in the E3 2010 demo, but �many more� are coming.
- With the exception of profanity, all of the Nurburgring�s graffiti has been re-created, just as it is in real life. According to Kotaku, they will attempt to keep the graffiti up-to-date before the game is shipped.
- Players will be able to maintain an online profile to share and watch friend�s progress and statistics.
- All cars (including standard models) will accumulate dirt and will have functional horns.
- All cars will have functioning reverse lights.
- More information will be revealed at Gamescom in Germany on August 18-22.
- More Formula 1 teams will bring their cars to the game, in addition to Ferrari.
�While racing the 24 hours of Nurburgring, you can smell people�s barbecues � we couldn�t recreate that.� � Kazunori Yamauchi
