Gran Turismo 5 News

For:PS3 Release Date: 24 November 2010

Kart Racing included too, even though it was intended for GT6.

Gran Turismo 5 is shaping up to be quite a package. At gamescom yesterday series creator Kazunori Yamauchi revealed three new features. Most interesting is the track creation mode, which lets players set a series of attributes, such as frequency of curves and sharpness of corners, before generating a new course to race around. These tracks can then be shared with friends online.

Next up was kart racing, a feature Yamauchi was intended to implement in Gran Turismo 6. The diddy little karts are in stark contrast to the super-powered vehicles on display elsewhere in the game. Less exciting, for us anyway, is the somewhat baffling B-Spec mode, in which you manage and nurture a driver through a career. We're not sure why you'd want to do this instead of racing yourself.

Gran Turismo 5 is due for release in the UK on November 3, exclusively for PS3.

Nice quote from Patrick Garratt from VG247.com

"Gran Turismo 5 is the most complete, polished, obsessive, impressive interactive car product ever made. I can say that in all sincerity after seeing what I saw."

Doesn't sound too half-baked to me from the previews.

Looks like it's going to be a mish-mash of half baked ideas built up over the years. :S

The track editor sounds like a let down too. Oh well. I still have it on pre-order though.

Would have preferred it was wholly up to the creator but I suppose it's still a decent tool to have.

Super excited for this game,thought I was gonna have exams in November but they're not until May which is good. Gives me plenty of time to play this...and of course study.
