With Sony recently announcing a special event in NYC next month, you’d be forgiven for thinking the company’s presence at Gamescom would be minimal. You’d be mistaken, though: the German PlayStation blog released the full list of titles Sony is bringing to Europe’s biggest gaming trade fair, and it’s quite the collection.

Polyphony have let loose the latest batch of Seasonal Events in Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events take you to four well-paced circuits where whoever gets on (and stays on) the power first wins. Three challenge levels cover this week’s events, giving you your sports and racing car weapons of choice.

With just shy of a week until release, InsideSimRacing’s hands-on impressions of a pre-release build of F1 2016 continue with another look at the much-talked-about career mode. Still behind the wheel of Manor Racing’s MRT05, this time ISR showcases the action that takes place at the Bahrain International Circuit.

The next video is all about visual presentation. IGN has recorded some Forza Horizon 3 video footage featuring one of the game’s cross-country competitions in 4k (2160p) resolution, the current peak of display technology. The various changes in the terrain surfaces the cars were running on offer good opportunity to inspect the technical abilities of the upcoming free-roam game. The stunt sections provide a great example as well.

With Assetto Corsa due to launch this month, the official Assetto Corsa Youtube channel has uploaded the above video to highlight what those on controller can expect against those with a dedicated steering wheel in terms of car control. Due to the PC-centric development approach that many sims have these days, the handling on controller has become an important metric when players factor in if they should purchase a game.

Buried within the press release that accompanied the launch of the Forza Racing Championship last week, Microsoft revealed some interesting numbers about the franchise’s fanbase.

Well that was fast. After rumours started circulating earlier this week about an event in New York City, Sony has gone and confirmed a PlayStation Meeting next month.

The new Developer Diary video from Monster Games contains more details regarding NASCAR Heat Evolution, the upcoming racing game scheduled for release on September 13 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. From the previous Developer Diary video we learned about  priorities the developer has set to offer a completely new experience to fans of the popular auto-racing event. Today we get to inspect details regarding the gameplay itself.

Another week, and another list of cars set to be included in the upcoming Forza Horizon 3. Last week’s additions focused on European classics like the Ferrari 166M and Jaguar Mk II; the list unveiled today (care of Autoblog) focuses on the vehicles more likely to be spotted off the road than on it. Here are the 30 cars set for inclusion next month:

The story of the better-equipped and more-powerful upgrade to the original PlayStation 4 has been a fabled one. While what initially began as rumors have since been officially confirmed by Sony’s Andrew House prior to E3, the question of “When?” has loomed ever since.

The Xbox One S seems to have had a great launch: the redesigned console has caught the attention of fans thanks to it’s sleek looks, faster operating system and slightly increased performance. One such version of the One S that has flown off shelves is the meaty 2TB model which is nearing the end of it’s first batch of stock. However, if you’re hoping to land the white 2TB console in the future, prepare for disappointment — Microsoft will not be restocking this particular model of the console.

With only several days remaining until the release of this year’s game, InsideSimRacing were able to get their hands on a preview build of F1 2016. Their hands-on previews delve into the expansive career mode — one of the game’s most touted features — and compare the pre-release builds of both the PC and PS4 versions of the racer.

After announcing the details of Season 1 last week, Turn 10 launches the Forza Racing Championship today. This week focuses on the 2015 Mustang GT, with Elite Series players heading to Monza in search of the fastest single lap time, while Open Series drivers will take to a variety of tracks in the Leagues event.

Earlier this week we reported Saudi Prince Badr bin Saud got the jump on other private bidders, purchasing both the one-off Bugatti Vision GT seen above, and pre-production Chiron. Before the prince can take delivery, both cars are currently scheduled to appear side-by-side at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance later this month.

If GTPlanet were focused solely on Gran Turismo, we would miss so many opportunities to bring interesting news on other driving games to the front page. In this particular case, that would be a clear misfire as Absolute Drift: Zen Edition is one of the more interesting driving games we have seen lately, bringing some much needed diversity to this genre.

While they’re certainly a far cry away from the 442 found in the original PC game, the list of Xbox One achievements for Assetto Corsa have been outed by tracking website Exophase ahead of its release later this month.

Very interesting details involving Monster Games’ upcoming NASCAR Heat Evolution driving game were revealed during the last “Develop Diary” video episode, which focused on important elements of driving game development: accessibility to a wide range of players and the overall handling model.

Quality steering wheel support is a prerequisite to a complete and pleasant experience for modern driving sims. Nowadays it is almost impossible to expect significant sale results from driving simulators unless they support plenty of accessories that the market clearly demands.

GT Academy 2016 kicked off just over a month ago in various Asian territories. Now, it’s swinging down to the country that will play host to another racing game this year: Australia.

The 2016 Spa 24 Hours endurance event recently finished with the #99 BMW M6 GT3 from ROWE Racing team claiming the victory after 531 laps. Variable weather conditions and several unforeseen pace interruptions caused enough anxiety to make the race entirely unpredictable.
