Kazunori Yamauchi hints at the possible inclusion of motorbikes in Gran Turismo 5, if that's what fans want...
Gran Turismo's head honcho, Kazunori Yamauchi has stated that the inclusion of motorbikes in Gran Turismo 5 is a distinct possibility if there's enough demand for them from fans.
"If that's what users really want in the game, I think that's a possibility. Or we could consider making a Tourist Trophy 2 as well," Yamauchi told IGN when asked whether bikes would make the cut in GT5.
A sequel to Tourist Trophy is certainly an inviting prospect, while having bikes in GT5 is presumably something that Polyphony Digital could add with DLC. Yamauchi has previously conceded that DLC for GT5 will probably be released "eventually".
But what about the Track Editor that's been hinted at, real-time weather effects, and the inclusion of BBC's Top Gear track in the game? These are all still in the planning stages according to Yamauchi, who wouldn't reveal specifics on the rumoured Track Editor.
When asked whether having a Track Editor would alleviate a lot of work for Polyphony Digital by allowing users to take the front seat, Yamauchi explained, "A lot of the courses we set up, we take a long time fine-tuning the details and building the track, so it would probably be a bit different than the types of tracks the users will set up in the game."
It's by no means a confirmation of the editor, but at least we're getting close. As far as the game's touted Top Gear test track is concerned, Yamauchi explained that Polyphony Digital is currently "trying to plan" how to include The Stig's lap times for players to race against.
Real-time weather effects are apparently technically feasible in GT5, although the feature's inclusion is still in some doubt. "Technically it's already possible to do in the game, it's just how we're going to have that have meaning in the game," Yamauchi explained.

I agree the long term playability of this game is very bad. Thats where we come in with ongoing leaderboards, championships and leagues.
There is a A&Q about our site here on TVG. Sorry I cant put in a link look for gt5-online 'dot' com

RUF is not associated with Porche, the cars may resemble Porches but there not made by Porche, and as GT5 has the biggest majority of its cars that anyone actually wants in standard form rather than premium (so far in 2 months there is no update to change any standard cars to premium nore has the game had anything done to fix the shadow problem, no car packs no track packs no additional features it really is quite poor from a high profile game not to get essential updates) the game is hoplesly dull and boring, long term GT5 fails thats why its not AAA.

wtf is going on, is everyone loosing the plot, car duplicating and racing are 2 different things and no amount of car duplication will make any cars go faster or slower, now if somone managed to mix say a bettle with the x2010 and some how maerge the 2 cars together so the bettle handled and went as fast as the x2010 but had the bhp stats of the bettle now that is cheating and having an unfair advantage but for car duplication to get the 1000 owned cars trophie it will take over 2.5 years as you can only gift 1 car a day, so again car duplication doensnt give anyone an edge online lmfoa.

its doesn't matter about the car copies, you can limit the power online so close racing is always there to enjoy
