E3 GT5 Special Report

Jul 2

Posted by Rob Groove in PS3 | No Comments

If you’re a massive fan of GT5 like i am you’ll love watching this. What made my ears tense up was when they mention the 48 player lobby. Ok so we know there will be no more than 16 cars on a track at once but why 48 people in the lobby? Here’s my guess (and it is only my guess) 16 x 3 = 48 so what’s the chance’s we might be able to have 16 cars with 3 drivers each. We know 24 hour race’s will be a feature so it would make sense if you could do a 24 hour race sharing the car between yourself and 2 other friends. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see but for now enjoy this in depth report on GT5.

Expect more and more news about GT5 and it’s features as we get ever closer to Nov 2nd.

Drive the Top Gear test track HERE!

Jun 25

Posted by Rob Groove in PS3 | No Comments

Here’s a gameplay video of a drive around the Top Gear test track and while its not exactly in a reasonably priced car, you can at least get a feel for the track before you climb into the car of your choice, be it a reasonably priced Chevrolet Lacetti CDX saloon, Suzuki Liana or maybe something with a little more grunt. On November 2nd 2010 it will be your choice.

For those of you who don’t watch Top Gear and have no idea what im talking about you might want to watch Simon Pegg have a go at the track Here.

GT5 = Go Karts and Track Editor

Jun 22

Posted by Rob Groove in PS3 | No Comments

It looks like our favourite console racing sim just got a whole lot better as the confirmation of Karts, track editor and variable weather hits the tinterweb. This news comes in from GTPlanet and was originally scored from the Official Playstation UK website.

What can we look forward to when Gran Turismo 5 releases on PlayStation 3?
Gran Turismo 5 will offer gamers an experience more rich, more in-depth and more exciting than they might expect – even from a series as closely identified with innovation and invention as Gran Turismo. Not only will Gran Turismo 5 deliver an even more comprehensive set of cars and courses than gamers saw with previous iterations, it will also feature new game-enhacing graphical effects such as damage, night racing and weather.

These innovations are twinned with the option to join millions of like-minded individuals globally within the Gran Turismo community and to find a driving experience to suit, whether that is taking on the Top Gear test track, chucking cars around stunt arenas, go-karting, creating and sharing your own track or intense head-to-head races. Who, where and what to drive is completely down to the individual.

This time around Gran Turismo is likely not just to be the definitive driving experience but a definitive gaming experience full stop.

PACKED!

So if we’re finding this out now how much more will we find out between now and the along waited for release. 1 things for sure though. This game is going to be PACKED! with content. Gran Turismo 5 will come on 1 BluRay disc reported to be full which means its the first game to use the entire capacity of the new disc format which can hold up to 50 GB’s of information.

One thing im waiting for is news of a “the fast and the furious Tokyo drift” multi story car park drifting course which i believe the game will feature as i caught a glimpse of it in an old video. I would post a link to that video here but i can’t seem to find it.

New Info on GT5

Jun 16

Posted by Rob Groove in PS3 | No Comments

Finally got a release date.

November 2nd is the release date for GT5 in north America but im still waiting for a European and UK date. Also there is news of a special edition which includes model 1:43 Nissan GT-,R and a 300+ pages book with car history, driving tips etc and a code for 5 extra cars. Joining the game also is none other than Sebastian Vettel (F1 driver for RedBull) as your driving trainer and the Stig makes an appearance aswell as the top gear test track which you can see in the new E3 2010 Trailer.

It’s so nice to finally see the Top Gear Test Track in all of its GT5 glory it will be so much fun to challenge the Stig’s laptimes every week aswell as who ever is the star in the reasonably priced car .
