Gran Turismo 5 split open : PS1 & PS2 era tracks in game and playable unofficially
- Thread starter UnluckyKate
- Start date
From what I see, textures on Seattle track are straight from PS2 version, so I guess it's just unfinished.
Who knows, but there were leftover tracks in the PSP game too. Their first showing of the PS3 game was a port of GT4 tracks which we never saw in the game either.
OP
OP
the link has more information and a link to the thread where these are found.
also, the article says that PD was to port GT4 to PS3 before doing GT HD and then GT5 that took years, hence probably why all these PSP and PS2 assets are ported to the GT5 engine
The Cutting Room Floor has a detailed list of all the cut content for this game (and many other games):
any mention of the livery editor? It was long rumored they were trying to get it to work back then, 512mb split ram was the problem.
These tracks though... PLEASE PD... We want Seattle Circuit and others in GT Sport.
I know there's a heavy focus on real world tracks and all.. but us longtime fans want the classic tracks back.

I hope not. The best part of Sport is how they got rid of the shitty models from previous gens.
I mean they can add them into their own separate modes like the moon buggy level in GT6. Have a set of races called "Nostalgia" and keep them there as a bonus in single player.
Those that don't like them can just ignore them.
They did have a trailer of Seattle for GT6 that was remade but it never released. Probably will in some future GT.
Give me Trial Mountain, Midfield and Grand Valley (IMHO one of the best tracks ever made when it comes to racing games).
The final series of turns followed by that hairpin to the finish line...
*chefs kiss
Honestly no better feeling in GT3 when you made a complete clean pass in that last hairpin.
Track was so much fun with the older cars too.
Its probably all compiled together and not a great engine so it would be more effort to take this stuff out then is it is just to hide it.
This is an amazing discovery. Lots of tracks are in various stages of implementation, but an incredible amount works.
Seems most tracks were dummied out of the game in v2.00, but are all still present in v1.13.
So many great tracks that deserve a spot in a new GT game.

There was also Seattle short's name on screen at the GT Sport unveiling event for some reason.
edit: 29 minutes into this
That's a fantastic discovery, I love it when people find stuff like this. :)
Wasn't there a quote from the series director (I forget his name) that was quite recent saying something to the affect of "We'll be looking at the series past, present and future in our next game". This quote's a little conflated and having a bit of difficulty finding it.
Nostaglia Courses in long running racing games are something I love, and while sometimes certain trademarks on the tracks can get in the way for the made up courses they should always bring them back if they can. Its great seeing something familiar get utterly revamped and look freaking awesome.

Unused Gran Turismo content is fucking wild.
There was a straight up debug code left in 5 Concept by mistake, the same code works in HD concept as well. It wasn't until the proper version of 5 was released that they finally deactivated the cheat.
2 had a Drag Racing mode that was removed so late in development, that it made the game impossible to 100% complete.
The "concept" versions in general are a complete mess in terms of how they were released. But that's worthy of another post.

In case anyone doesn't notice this is a joke post, GT5 at launch was 19GB and GT6 was 15GB.
Kind of heartbreaking - one of my main complaints with the GT series is the aggressive pruning of great tracks that's happened over the years. It'd be so great to see them having maintained and built out the entire staple - Tahiti Maze, Trial Mountain, Seattle, Grand Canyon etc.
How the hell do you even remember those numbers? I only remember one being way bigger than other.
Installing and updating the digital version of GT6 was the worst thing I've ever experienced with my PS3.
They've mentioned multiple times that they've been working on porting the OG tracks to Sport but with every update, I'm less convinced that it's an actual plan.
That menu is still in GT5, it's just the button combo that was disabled. A modded save can access it still.Unused Gran Turismo content is fucking wild.

Also, the news of this has spread like wildfire, glad it's bringing back some interest in the game. Could lead to more discoveries if people with the right knowledge discover us and take interest.
I remember getting GT5 with my PS3 Slim and a poor internet connection... took close to 4 days to update ps3 AND GT5!!!!This old gem from the old forum immediately came to mind:
Hopefully somebody releases a selection of modded saves with the tracks, iirc, you could swap the track codes in decrypted GT5 / GT6 saves.
I've heard about the debug menu being accessible in GT5P, but this is the first time I've heard of it being available in the main game.
Any idea where one can find and use that save? Would be fun to check out GT5 again, especially with custom opponents enabled.
I so wish they add these brilliant tracks updated in the future. GT deserves this.
Bumping this for the camera editor hidden in GT5 and GT6.
