Lots of Gran Turismo 5 details translated out of love for you
If you've been itching for some Gran Turismo 5 news to gawk at, let us direct you to a thread over at NeoGAF. Not only are there a lot of great screenshots from the official website, but user Doctor_No took it upon himself (or herself!) to translate the latest Famitsu interview with Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauchi. We'll detail the finer points below, but all of them are worth looking over.
GT5 will be playable at Leipzig, where multiple online features will also be announced.
GT5 Prologue will be Home compatible!
While called Prologue, Yamauchi says there will be options to make money, buy cars, etc.
In the final build, there are ambitions to let you walk around a "town" and look at cars. We imagine this means your Home avatar checking out other people's GT5 cars.
GT5 Prologue will have 40 cars and 4 tracks, totaling 8 configurations.
If you use a steering wheel for the game, you can look around the cockpit in cockpit view by moving around the D-Pad. Nice.
In the full game of Gran Turismo 5, you can fully customize the interior of the car.
Right now, 16 cars are in each race, but in online modes, the number may shrink to 12.
Any money, cars, etc. you earn in GT5 Prologue will be able to transfer over to the full Gran Turismo 5.
Wow! This really seems like an ambitious title, so we're salivating to get our hands on the game as soon as possible. GT5 Prologue is rumored to launch on October 24th, so we'll wait until around then.
