Gran Turismo 5 in stores today
Simulation racing game is finally at retail
Sony Computer Entertainment America has announced today's North American release of Gran Turismo 5, available exclusively for the PlayStation 3.
Developed by Polyphony Digital, Gran Turismo 5 brings the realistic and comprehensive driving experiences to fans in one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. For the first time in the franchise, players can look forward to real-time car damage, dynamic weather effects, kart racing, access to select NASCAR cars, a Course Maker and online community features. The game will also feature a line-up of more than 1,000 licensed cars from the world's top manufacturers and more than 20 tracks with over 70 variations, including famous world circuits, city courses, snow and dirt, and original environments popular among fans.
"Over the past five years, the team of designers and engineers at Polyphony Digital have worked to set new standards in graphics, presentation, and gameplay within the Gran Turismo franchise," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Product Marketing, SCEA. "With Gran Turismo 5, the development team has set a new bar in the racing genre with more than 1,000 vehicles, new racing modes and features, and a robust online community. We are excited to offer loyal fans a racing experience that remains unmatched."
The game will feature a completely new physics engine for an improved and more realistic, and responsive, driving feel across the board, as well as real-time vehicle damage and wear, with adaptive and accurate car deformation based on point of impact and velocity. Additionally, players will have the chance to utilize face tracking capabilities using the PlayStation Eye camera, allowing players to look around the interior of vehicles while in the interior dash view.
For the first time, players will also be able to create their own Gran Turismo race track with the in-game Course Maker, as well as take part in kart racing, and race select NASCAR cars on select NASCAR-sanctioned and other tracks. Players can also transfer vehicles unlocked in Gran Turismo for PSP (PlayStation Portable) into their garage in Gran Turismo 5.
