GT Planet
Here’s a quick overview of what’s been discussed in the TGS 2010 GT5 breakout session:
• Laguna Seca has been completely rebuilt and will return for GT5.
• Trial Mountain has also been confirmed
• “Gran Turismo Anywhere” will allow you to manage B-Spec races, right from your computer. You’ll be able to hold B-Spec races with your friends from anywhere in what are called “Remote Races”.
• GT5 will feature a series of special events such as the Karting Experience, the AMG driving school, The Stig Challenge, Jeff Gordon NASCAR School, Sebastien Loeb Rally Challenge, and Gran Turismo Rally.
• Point-to-point rally stages will be automatically and randomly generated – you’ll have to depend on your co-driver to give you the best instructions about the road ahead.
• Rally mode can be played either on or offline.
• Weather changes include temperature differences, air pressure changes, and humidity, affecting the surface conditions of the track dynamically.
• Weather conditions are randomized. Forecasts for your race will be available but may not be entirely accurate, just like the real world.
• Polyphony Digital has helped Red Bull Racing’s Adrian Newey design the X1 Concept – an “ultimate” racing car, free of any technical regulations.
• Many things didn’t make the cut in Gran Turismo 5, and work on Gran Turismo 6 has already begun.
