Happy birthday to Gran Turismo- GT6 is Official

Well just like many predicted Gran Turismo was announced for the Ps3 with a "Holiday 2013" release window. Here is the article from IGN.com.

"Sony has announced that Gran Turismo 6 is in development for the PlayStation 3 with a targeted released window of 'Holiday 2013'.

The President of Polphony Digital and creator of the franchise, Kazunori Yamauchi, made the announcement today at an event celebrating 15 years of Gran Turismo at Silverstone in the UK.

"I'd like to announce today that we are developing GT 6 for the holiday season this year on the PlayStation 3," he revealed. "The game engine will be renewed for GT6, we'll be cleaning it up, making it smoother for the future.

"The rendering engine will be completely renewed for GT 6, there will be a revamped Physics Engine, new suspension, tyre and aerodynamics modelling. We'll have 200 more cars than Gran Turismo 5, with 1200 available at release. More cars will be released after launch, too."

All cars and tracks from GT5 will be preserved. It will launch with 33 locations, 71 course layouts of which 19 will be brand new, and additional sets of new tracks will be released every month via DLC. There'll be a new course maker, and players will be encouraged to create their own racing communities and championships.

An accompanying Sony press release expands that it will also feature "expanded connectivity with other devices such as smart phones and tablets and increased social and community functions".

There will be a demo available in July with more info coming out of E3 and Gamescom."- Luke Karmali
