Gran Turismo 5, Now With More Nürburgring

123 0

Hey, everyone. Taku Imasaki here with a bit of Gran Turismo 5 news. If you saw our website this morning, then you already know about the news.

If you’re a true racing fan, you know that Nürburgring is a world-renowned racing complex in Nürburg, Germany.

It’s known for being extremely challenging, a grueling testing ground for even the most seasoned race drivers and the most highly tuned performance cars. It’s home of various world-famous races including the Nürburgring 24 Hours race, and used as a testing ground for bleeding-edge performance cars by companies like GM, Dodge, Nissan, Lexus, and Ferrari.

Gran Turismo 5: Nurburgring

In the words of Mr. GT, Kazunori Yamauchi himself, “For a car enthusiast, the Nürburgring is the equivalent to what places like the “Eiger Nordwand” or “Mount Everest” means to a mountaineer. There is that special allure about it that you just can’t explain in words.”

Nürburgring is definitely a favorite among GT fans, and I’m excited to share with you that Gran Turismo 5 will feature its three courses: the Grand Prix course, the Nordschleife, and the Nürburgring 24 Hours course. As you can see from these screenshots, these courses have been beautifully recreated. Check out the other five brand new screenshots here.

And if you happen to be in Germany this weekend for the Nürburgring 24 Hours endurance race, you’ll be able to check them out on a brand new GT5 demo we have on display there to commemorate this world-famous race event.

We’re getting close to E3, so be sure to watch the official GT website and the PlayStation.Blog here for the latest news on Gran Turismo 5.

    Wasn’t this game supposed to be finished a year ago?

  • this game sounds absolutely awesome! :D
    Now I just can’t wait to play it :P

  • Those screenshots are beautiful! Can’t wait.. Hope there will be a collector edition for this epic game!

  • cant wait for this to come out and put everything in its place.

  • I don’t even have the slightest bit of interest in this game anymore. This has become as big of a joke as Duke Nukem Forever.
    By the time this game is finally released, Forza will have released 3 titles in that time period.

  • The Nürburgring without Porsche is like Fish without Chips… this game without some version of the 911 is just odd.

    Can someone wake me up when GT5 finally gets released?

  • Dear Polyphony Digitial and SCEA,

    Nobody is asking for more “awesome” GT5 pics, so please refrain from this practice until, at least, the E3 extravaganza that surely (definitely) awaits.

    You are just sprinkling salt on our wounds. How come you couldn’t at least upgrade Gran Turismo 5 Prologue during all this looooooong wait? Add better online, a couple of new tracks, maybe give us your faithful and patient followers who supported you buying your glorified demo 2 YEARS AGO something to pass the time with? and maybe something extra that’s unlocked in GT5 for all GT5 Prologue owners? I don’t know, you should know better.

    We can’t play with pics, We can’t do anything with pics. You should’ve spent your time making us keep PLAYING GT5 Prologue, creating an oline community and strengthening it for the arrival of the grand complete masterpiece.

  • As you announced a few months ago, this shipped to Japan in March, right?

    Right?

    Or am I thinking of GT5 Nukem Forever?

  • I want this game NOW!

  • EU PSBlog says Winter 2010 is the ETA of GT5.

  • *NEWSFLASH* SONY & POLYPHONY DIGITAL announced today that the entirety of the gran turismo 5 source code was abducted by aliens.hence a new relase date of april 1, 2029 has been announce on the forthcoming Playstation 7 games console.

  • I need this game in my veins! This will be sooo good! please release this game in the summer or early after it!

  • looks great – and McLaren F1!

    -hope there is a release date at E3

  • Every GT game we go through this long wait. so far each time it’s been worth the wait. And still to this day GT is the only racing game that my wife not only likes but turns her into a female ricky bobby.

  • So Xmas release maybe…Xmas 2015 maybe….mwahahahahahaa

  • the trees are really the odd things out in these pics looks like they were taken from the PS2 game not that it should matter when racing the trees should be the last thing people worry about at that time. but in replys they will be very noticeable

  • THIS IS TORTURE!!!! I WANT IT NOW!!!! By the way this game would be better than any Alan Wakes or Forza 3!

  • The game that will be released after hell freezes over
    then need more time to model the ice tracks
    So unlikely to ever be ready as there will always be something else that needs to be added or tweaked
    and forget about the trees as they will be cut down so the solar powered cars can run

  • awsome can’t wait.

  • We need to convince Chuck Norris to command Sony to release the game.

  • release the goddamned game…

    please

  • i thought the release was scheduled for november? there will be damage. don’t you all agree that Prologue is the best racing title on ps3. if not then for sure the best EVER for forty dollars.

  • BOOOOO no release date!
