165w ago - According to NeoGAF user lherre, a new Gran Turismo 5 PS3 demo is rumored to be on PSN, but unfortunately for GT5 fans it's not currently available to the public audience.

To quote: "This member has impeccable credibility and this demo is definitely available on PSN, though it may only be available for a select group of people at the current time.

lherre later states that this demo may be used for media events only, but that is speculation on his part, as of now.

With this demo uploaded on PSN, could we be seeing a new GT5 demo in the relative future? Let's hope so since we haven't had a new demo since last Fall when we had the Time Trial demo, which gave us small tidbit of what to expect in the full release."

Finally, a release date for the title is slated as 2010, so the wait for a full release is still unknown.

166w ago - Senior Product Marketing Manager Stephanie Yoshimoto has shared a new GT5 PS3 trailer video today on the PlayStation Blog dubbed Gran Turismo 5: Night Racing.

To quote: As you may have seen, a brand new trailer for Gran Turismo 5 was debuted on the God of War III Blu-ray disc.

So for those of you who saw unofficial copies of it, I want to share that trailer in HD, which can also be found on the official Gran Turismo Web site along with all of the latest and greatest Gran Turismo news.

Fans who purchase God of War III will also be able to view the trailer as a part of the Blu-ray when it is available on store shelves beginning this Tuesday, March 16.

I'm sure you noticed the teaser footage for night racing in this trailer. This feature was first revealed in the February issue of PlayStation The Official Magazine, as part of their 10-page cover story on GT5, but this trailer is the first opportunity fans have to see it in action. Night racing is just one of many new GT5 features.





The game will not only include improved features, but also a host of exciting new ones that will be revealed in the coming months. To whet your...

167w ago - A fresh Gran Turismo 5 (HD) PS3 video is available today dubbed GT5 Nights courtesy of Torgo via NeoGAF.

Just before the weekend we saw some similar (but offscreen) leaked GT5 footage, however, it has since been removed unfortunately.

Gran Turismo 5 is set to feature around 1000 cars and over 20 total track locations, with variations bringing the number of unique circuits to 70.

Designer Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that he aims to achieve the 1000 car milestone, but actual details on the number of cars in the game currently range between 950 and 1000.

To quote from the video's caption: "The new Night Racing trailer for Gran Turismo 5 from the God of War 3 disc. Enjoy!"

167w ago - Update: Magnus of NeoGAF has now shared (below) the leaked GT5 trailer from the God of War 3 retail release.

Today Sony Product Marketing Specialist Brian Dunn has proclaimed that Gran Turismo Does NASCAR, and made available a GT5 Prologue PS3 trailer video with Polyphony Digital at the Texas Motor Speedway.

To quote: I'm sure all of you Gran Turismo fans out there remember that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue featured the Daytona oval and road course layouts.

And with Gran Turismo 5's announce trailer at E3 last year, you saw that NASCAR stock cars would be making their debut in Gran Turismo 5, adding yet another official race sanctioning body to the Gran Turismo lineup.

Rest assured that Kazunori Yamauchi and the hard-working team at Polyphony Digital are putting as much attention to detail into recreating the NASCAR stock cars, tracks and experience as they do with every other element that goes into the Gran Turismo series.

In addition to visiting the racing team to photo shoot and sound-record their vehicles, Kazunori and crew visited their first...

171w ago - PlayStation: The Official Magazine (PTOM) has confirmed in their March, 2010 issue that no Indy cars will be appearing in Gran Turismo 5 for PS3.

However, the article found by RAZORBACK2015 of GTPlanet.net (linked above) does leave open the possibility still exists via DLC.

To quote: "In our February 2010 cover story on Gran Turismo 5, we incorrectly stated that Indy (IRL) racing cars and tracks would appear in the game.

While the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will indeed appear in GT5, Indy cars currently will not."

Does this mean that there's still room for a later (DLC) release? Only time will tell for sure...
