Gran Turismo PSP – 800 Cars, 35 Tracks, October 1

Polyphony Digital’s president, Kazunori Yamauchi, just announced Gran Turismo PSP at Sony’s E3 2009 Press Conference.  This “little” game is going to pack quite a punch, including 800 cars and 35 tracks!  It’s also going to let you trade and exchange cars with each other, which Kazunori warned will probably be the only way to acquire them all.  Up to 4 people can also race head-to-head via the PSP’s ad-hoc connectivity.

One of the most exciting things we noticed – a Ferrari Enzo was visible in the short preview video shown at the show.  It’s only logical, then, that the ultimate Ferrari super car will be coming to GT5.  Stay tuned for higher-res pictures and videos!

    What I want to know is what’s that wierd looking PSP with the slide out buttons that is shown at the beginning of the video? When and HOW MUCH??? :D

    It may have something to do with damage licensing, G-Ram. Just speculation, but that may be why we saw the Enzo in the trailer here, but didn’t see it in the GT5 trailer.

    What I don’t get is… 800 cars on PSP. Didn’t Amar’s cryptic post say 600 in GT5? Why more cars in my pocket than on my big screen?

    I have great patience but they are pushing it now. I know its just a game but we have Prologue with over a year now and we still have no news. Any news would be good but no news at this stage is plain annoying now. I will be buying Forza 3 though and hope it will do me intil GT5 is released in 2020.

    Where is the E3 GT5 trailer? Why can’t they even give us just a little bit of news? They are really pissing off a lot of fans here. I know they want to draw sales of the new hardware but c’mon guys you’re going to lose a lot of loyalty if you keep pulling these stunts.

    For the ps3 GT5 trailer was amazing. I’m really happy about the rally cars!

As you’ve probably heard by now, Sony has just announced the true successor to the PSP. Code-named the “NGP” (Next Generation Portable), it features some impressive hardware specs and the titles announced so far look great. Popular games such as Uncharted, Killzone, and Call of Duty were all confirmed to arrive on the NGP when it’s released at the end of this year, but one special franchise was nowhere to be found this time: Gran Turismo.

Sony hosted a small group of media at their Benelux headquarters in Amsterdam, yesterday, and our own Blitz187 was on hand to catch any and all new tidbits of information that might emerge (this event took place before the delay was officially confirmed). As usual, Sony was extremely tight-lipped about the game’s details and did not use the event to reveal any major new features.

Gran Turismo PSP Free for PSP Go Owners (Again)

Jordan Greer · · 25 Comments
If you missed out on the free Gran Turismo PSP promotion when the PSP Go was released earlier this year, you’ve got another shot. Sony is once again making the game available to download at no cost to all PSP Go owners…as long as you’re not in North America. Much like GT Academy 2010, this promotion is only available to people outside of the United States and Canada. You can read the official rules here and, if you’re eligible, follow these instructions to get your copy of the game. It will be free through January 10, 2010, so don’t worry if you plan to receive a PSP Go on December 25th – just make sure that you tell Santa Claus about this so he can buy you something else with all that money he’ll be saving! Thanks to Marky264 for the tip.

Jordan Greer · · 24 Comments
Sony is out to find the “ultimate” Gran Turismo fan with their latest contest, and two winners will be walking away with the driving suit, helmet, and gloves worn by Rhys Millen and Tanner Foust in the GT PSP Laguna Seca television commercial. All you’ve got to do is submit a 2 minute video, a 2 page essay, or slide show presentation explaining why you are the “ultimate fan”. Entries will be judged by a panel of “video game industry professionals”, who will score each submission based on the following criteria: 60% for showing that you’re the ultimate fan, 20% for showing that you’re the ultimate car/racing fan, and another 20% for showing off a little bit of creativity.
