Here’s one for gaming fans out there: Gran Turismo 6 has been announced for the PlayStation 3 and is set to be launched by the end of this year. The news came at an event celebrating the racing simulator’s 15th anniversary. Has it really been that long since we played the first Gran Turismo on the original PlayStation? Time flies when we’re having fun.
It’s a bit odd that the sixth instalment of Sony’s console series’ best-selling franchise won’t debut on the brand new PS4, which is due real soon. Then again, Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi likes to work at his own pace. We had to wait a long five years to play a GT game on the PS3, and it looks like it’ll be the same story again for the next-generation console.
Gran Turismo 6 for the PlayStation 3 will feature a new rendering engine that pushes the limits of the machine for even more photo-realistic graphics, as well as more cars (1,200 at launch, with more to come through DLC packs), 33 locations and 71 layouts (seven and 19 more than GT5 respectively, including the revamped Silverstone circuit in the screenshots).
Gameplay will be different too with new aerodynamics, tyre, suspension and kinematics model with technical contributions from Yokohama Rubber and KW Automotive. Lots of other updates are also in store, including a new user interface with shorter load times. A demo version will be available in July, with the full game closer to the holiday season. Excited yet?

I use to spent hours on Gran Turismo 4 when I was in Primary school to satisfy my fascination for cars. It was more realistic than NFS and was really a game that requires skills. Can’t wait to get my hands on this. First things first, got to save up for a PS3…..or should I wait for PS4
Cheers bro ! I still play GT4 every once in a while. xD It’s quite realistic for an 8 year old game, must admit. Forza is great too, but it’s easier to relate to Gran Turismo with all the Japanese cars we’ve come to love.
One does not even need to be a gamer to love Gran Turismo. That’s why it’s epic !
I already confuse the first pic with a real world ! The graphic is epic !
Bro, PS3 and 360 graphics are nothing these days. PC is where it’s at. Google PROJECT CARS. Make sure you keep some tissues ready… just in case.
:D
PS3 cost around RM900 and able to play all game well. Try to biuld a PC around 900 and Call Of Duty also don’t let you start playing.
But, Project Cars all Euros only, if no wrong Evo X is the only Japanese car. GT4/5 enable us to upgrade and tuning our own car, much more fun, Project Cars drive what they gave you, kinda boring. I prefer drive the car I tuned myself more.
You have to pay buck load to have PCs running this level of kind of graphics and still be brought the performance to knee with disappointing fps..
oh la la la… Im still yet to reach level 40. Struggling with Spec A 9-hours Tsukuba race. Shoot!
If it has Sepang in it, or better still, the Satria Neo S2000, I’ll sell my ori Xbox 360 and buy a ori PS3. Seratus-peratus serious statement !
Hope they include, CUSCO used Satria Neo as their Rally car.
Hope so. Maybe BMW M5 with sepang bronze color may enlighten you. its already in GT5
I think Audi’s Sepang Blue is even better. It’s also in GT5, on the R8 V10 and RS6.
Haven’t finish GT4 spec B. I love the Nürburgring special event with AMG. Now aiming for gold trophies.
Yess.. Cant wait for this to come out.
Been playing GT since 1998 …played all the Gran Turismo major versions. I guess im not too old for the 6th version now!!! LOVE IT!!!!
any chance they add in Sepang International Circuit ?
If yes, it will be a very good for track day simulation practice…
