Gran Turismo 6

Many Kazunori Yamauchi interviews emerged from E3 2013 earlier this month, most of which covered or re-iterated points and announcements made during the Gran Turismo 6 reveal at Silverstone back in May.

Sony has announced the new pre-order incentives for Gran Turismo 6 in the United States (see Europe’s similar offerings detailed here), along with the first details on the special “Gran Turismo 6 15th Anniversary Edition”.

In addition to GTPlanet’s exclusive interview with Kazunori Yamauchi, where we discussed Gran Turismo 6 engine sounds and artificial intelligence, I also had the opportunity to attend a round-table discussion with him and a group of other journalists.

An interview with U.S. Gran Turismo producer Taku Imasaki recorded after last month’s GT6 reveal was just recently published by GamerHub.tv, and it contained a few interesting tidbits of information.

In case you missed the U.S. GT Academy Racer X competition final’s live broadcast from E3 last week, Sony has uploaded all of the day’s footage to their YouTube channel.

I had the special opportunity to spend time one-on-one with Kazunori Yamauchi at E3, where we were able to discuss a few of the most pressing questions Gran Turismo fans have about GT6. GTPlanet also had the opportunity to participate in a “round table” discussion with Kazunori which included other gaming journalists, the full transcript of which will be posted soon.

During the Racer X competition finals at E3, Sony revealed the release date for the highly anticipated Gran Turismo 6 demo which will host this year’s GT Academy: Tuesday, July 2, 2013.

The last stage of GT Academy 2013’s Racer X competition is about to take place at Sony’s booth inside E3, and it’s being streamed live on their Ustream channel.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo is the world’s largest international gaming show, and it’s going to be a big one for Gran Turismo fans, according to statements made by Kazunori Yamauchi at last month’s Gran Turismo 6 reveal.

The schedule for the U.S. GT Academy 2013’s “Racer X” wildcard competition has just been released, and it’s going to be bigger and more competitive than ever.

A lot of Gran Turismo 6 screenshots were released at last month’s big reveal, but you might have missed these interesting aerial views of Silverstone, one of the game’s prominent new circuits.

Two GTPlanet members, Synwraith (Maz) and GTP_Ingram (Alex), were involved in the setup and organization of the recent “15 Years of Gran Turismo” event at Silverstone, where Gran Turismo 6 was revealed.

Over the last 15 years, Gran Turismo games have become somewhat notorious for delays, but Sony is apparently hopeful that Gran Turismo 6 will not follow that tradition.
