From an extract of an article from the-magicbox.com
Kazunori Yamauchi revealed new tidbits of Gran Turismo 5 for PS3:
Gran Turismo 5 will be released in Christmas 2008 It takes 6 months to design a car and one year to design a full race track. Currently 30 staffs are working on race tracks Gran Turismo Portable for PSP is intended to connect with GT5 Yamauchi only stayed home four days since he started working in the Gran Turismo series 15 years ago There were only 15 staffs when Gran Turismo 1 started, today there are 120 people in Polyphony Digital Both Ferrari and Suzuka will be in GT5, they will look exactly like the real thing He would be frustrated if working with Wii because he knows PS3 is a much more powerful console He thinks Xbox 360 is not a Full HD console, because not a lot of games are running in 1080p at 60fps Yamauchi wants to work on a lengthy RPG Damage model is still around, but probably with compromises due to agreements with manufacturers Some manufacturers prohibit damage models for their vehicles, so at the end some vehicles will not have damage models
"Yamauchi only stayed home four days since he started working in the Gran Turismo series 15 years ago"
WTF.
Japanese are nuts. The guy probably watches porn, masturbates and has sex in the office as well. X_X
