Gran Turismo 5 Front & Center in Sony’s TGS Booth

sony-tgs-2009-booth

Just as Mercedes-Benz told us, their new SLS AMG is on hand to represent GT5 at the Tokyo Game Show. 1UP.com offers this sneak peek at the show floor, and it looks like our favorite racing game is taking center stage at Sony’s massive booth. It’s hard to see much else behind the big display, but it’s a safe bet there’s a few PS3’s loaded up with a fresh new demo of the game hiding back there.

I’d also like to remind you about the updated press conference time – as it turns out, the 10:30 AM (Tokyo time) is when Sony Computer Entertainment’s CEO Kaz Hirai gives his keynote address, and GT5 news from that is unlikely. Sony’s full press conference won’t begin until a few hours later (1:30 PM Tokyo time), when there is a much better chance of Kazunori Yamauchi taking the stage. I’ve updated my original post accordingly, so please take a second look at it to calculate the new time of the presentation in your local area.

    I don’t even have a PS3 yet. I always tell my friends “when GT5 comes out”. Looks like it’s almost time to pay the piper.

    Finally, TGS is here! I can’t wait to see some new gameplay. Hopefully they will provide more cars and tracks in the demo.

    My money’s on Dec. 1st for release. It’s a Tuesday (the release day for boxed games), it allows plenty of shopping days before Christmas, follows the frenzy of USA Thanksgiving buying season and allows plenty of time to get the marketing hype in place and everybody all wound up to put a PS3 Slim and GT5 under the Christmas tree.

    So December 1st it is! Watch and see.

    Hey, Jordan… guess what you forgot to change the Wednesday to Thursday for the NY time. The 24th is a Thursday…

    @ Jordan, Your time for New York is right, but the date is wrong. Should be the 24th.

    Dont want to confuse the minions.

    @ Jordan

    Sorry, I did not mean to sound as if I found your information to be incorrect.
    It is just that this is the first I have heard of the change; I merely wanted to know where the info came from.

    Thanks however :)

    This means I can go to sleep for a while lol

    The first website I’m gonna log onto when I get home from work is GTPlanet at 3:30 so I expect you to have all necessary information front and center for me and only me, Jordan.

    You see at booth? Yell yes!

    All will become clear in a couple hours time. No more cryptic messages and second-hand guesses. Just cold hard facts.
