Despite being a no-show at yesterday’s Sony E3 Keynote conference, a massive amount of new screenshots from Gran Turismo Sport have emerged over the past 24 hours. The new screenshots feature the same venues we have become familiar with in the past few weeks, however in terms of cars we see our first glimpse of the Hyundai Genesis GR.3 caught in the Arcade mode capture below.

Turn 10’s Dan Greenawalt sat down with Matt Farah and the rest of The Smoking Tire podcast crew to chat about the newly-unveiled Forza Horizon 3. In it, he lets a few choice tidbits loose on the upcoming open-world game, chief among them being the (eventual) addition of 3-wheelers.

The latest build of GT Sport is being shown off on the floor at E3, but for those not in attendance eager to see what’s in store, a new direct-feed gameplay video has begun making its way online.

UPDATE: While no new GT Sport or PSVR information was shown at during Sony’s press conference – or indeed, any racing games – stay tuned for more GT Sport news from the show floor later this week.

Forza Horizon 3 was revealed earlier today. Taking place in Australia, it promises 350+ cars, a deeper level of customization, and full cross-platform support with the Windows 10 platform when it launches this September 27. Turn 10 have now revealed the game’s pre-order details, as well as how the Forza Rewards player loyalty program will support the new title.

Microsoft kicked off their E3 Conference by taking the wraps off of the Xbox One S, the newest iteration of the console featuring a slimmer design. The conference came to a close with a look into the future of the brand, with Phil Spencer taking the stage to confirm the existence and development of the next major addition, Project Scorpio.

The rumors have been rampant the past few months, of newer and/or improved consoles. While Sony may have stepped in to finally confirm the existence and development of NEO, Microsoft haven’t been sitting on their laurels as they’ve now confirmed a slimmed down variant of the One, named Xbox One S.

It’s Monday morning, and that means the big two are about to unleash their press conferences for this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. Microsoft is up first at 9:30 AM PST (click here to convert to your timezone), with their presentation being broadcast on the official Xbox Twitch channel, which you can watch up top. Xbox owners can also follow along on their consoles.

With E3 kicking off this week, and GT Sport events already taking place in London, Nürburg, and Tokyo, fans of the franchise are itching to get a chance for a test drive before the game arrives on PS4 in mid-November. We’ve got good news, at least for UK residents: GTPlanet has teamed up with Sony Computer Entertainment UK to give you the chance to win free admission to GT Sport’s second appearance in the country, at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed!

GT Academy, the notable racing program made as a result of cooperation between Nissan and PlayStation, quickly gained recognition for offering PlayStation and Gran Turismo users an opportunity to take part in real racing. Currently running strong in its 8th year of existence, the program has life in it yet as, according to recent news, there are more things to come.

In a slightly unexpected move, Sony has unveiled the latest Gran Turismo Sport trailer mere days before the year’s biggest gaming event. The title confirms this is indeed the footage intended for E3 next week, and while it contains a lot of familiar content for those who’ve kept track of our GT Sport coverage the last month, it does hold some welcome surprises.

You’re well aware of the story by now, of a more capable and better equipped PlayStation 4 console, that has been referred to as the PlayStation 4.5 or PlayStation 4K. Just a mere three days before their press conference at the 22nd E3 expo could kick-off, Sony has stepped in to comment on the rumors.

GT Sport was shown off in its home country last weekend, where Polyphony continued to court the media with numerous interviews. Speaking with Famitsu magazine, Kazunori expanded on the subject of post-release support for the title.

2016 marks the 100th anniversary – but only the 94th running – of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado. Gran Turismo became a platinum sponsor of the event last year, and will expand that relationship by having Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi not only attend the event, but drive one of the three Acura pace cars.

Since the reveal of Gran Turismo Sport, Kazunori Yamuchi has once again been pushed into the spotlight of the broader gaming media – a new iteration of Gran Turismo brings in a level of hype unmatched by many series in the genre and gaming medium as a whole. One such outlet who are covering the recent unveiling of Gran Turismo Sport is Red Bull’s gaming section, who conducted an interview with Kazunori himself. Whilst a lot of the article reiterates points we already knew and reported on, there are some interesting statements from the head of Polyphony Digital.
