Gran Turismo Kart Racing?  That strikes me so bizarre.

It's like a top-class resaurant serving hotdogs.

PS3 "still not enough" for GT - Yamauchi

Gran Turismo creator Kaz Yamauchi reckons the long-awaited fifth game in the series – still without an official release date – was restricted by the capacity of the PlayStation 3.

Don't be shocked - the Polyphony boss reckons every PlayStation he has worked on has "restricted" him, including the PS3.

"Software has to be created under the restriction of the hardware," he told the latest issue of Esquire UK.

"With each new PlayStation, the vessel has become bigger, but it's still not enough.

"With Gran Turismo 5 we've made it as clean and beautiful as possible within the confines of the space we're given - but of course there's a lot more that we want to put in."

Amazing scenes. At this point we expect Gran Turismo 5 to bring peace to the world and end poverty when it's eventually released, which, by the way, Sony says will be before Christmas.

Last week Yamauchi revealed that work on the next instalment, Gran Turismo 6, had already begun.

"It's not something that we can talk that lightly on," he said. "It took 2000 days to get all the ideas that went into GT5.

"It's just too early to be talking about GT6."

2000 days is five-and-a-half years, by the way.

PS3 "still not enough" for GT - Yamauchi

Kaz Yamauchi is Peter Molyneux's Japanese doppelganger.

They should work on a game together.  They could call it Divide By Zero.

Gran Turismo 5 trophy list leaked
60 rewards to be unlocked in Yamauchi's leaked racer

As you may have seen by now, it looks like the first copies of Gran Turismo 5 are (unbelievably) in the hands of sneaky fans before its proper release, and one of them's leaked the Trophy list. Cheers!

There are a total of 60 trophies to unlock, and all but seven "hidden" trophies are detailed in the list below.

Some pretty cool ones in there, like getting a time of 7:29.03 or quicker in a GT-R around Nurburgring Nordshleife - the car's record time in real life. Or winning the legendary Le Mans race between FordMark IV Race Car, the Ferrari 330 P4 and the Jaguar XJ-13, the latter of which never made it to the race in real life.

It's going to be epic.

GT5 installs while played - Sony

You don't have to wait the best part of an hour for Gran Turismo 5 to install - you can opt for the game to unpack chunks as you play, Sony explained this afternoon.

"GT5 gives users the option of an install," Sony pointed out. "This makes loading times throughout much faster but is not a requirement when first playing.

"If users choose not to install the data straight away it will do it in stages as news areas, tracks, etc. are accessed during normal gameplay."

Eurogamer has been independently informed that the 6.4GB optional hard-drive install for Gran Turismo 5 checks out - it's correct. To do this takes 40 minutes or more.

Optional installs are uncommon on PS3, and at 6.4GB that's one of the largest we've seen. Other beefy PS3 contenders are EndWar and Devil May Cry (both around 5GB), or BioShock 2 and Lost Planet 2 (both roughly 4.5GB).

Mind you, Gran Turismo 5 has 1031 cars, which translates to an overwhelming list that Eurogamer reproduced in full.

Ivane? that's probably not even a real word!!

GT5 Review Round Up

[GamerMan316]

GT5's £400 official steering wheel

Thrustmaster has unveiled the £400 official steering wheel for PlayStation 3-exclusive simulation racer Gran Turismo 5.

The T500 RS wheel and pedal set is said to be optimised for GT5. The wheel weighs 4.6kg; the pedal set 7.3kg. The gearshift levers, the wheel's central spokes section (30cm in diameter) and the pedal set are all entirely metal.

The wheel itself offers 1080° rotation. A motorized stop means the three full turns are adjustable. The magnetic sensor-based H.E.A.R.T (HallEffect AccuRate Technology) is incorporated into the wheel's steering mechanism. The wheel has 16-bit resolution and 65536 values on its steering axis.

The spacing and height of the pedal set is also fully adjustable, and allows for two driving positions: floor-mounted F1 style, or suspended GT style.

There's even a textured foot rest, also metal. The Force Feedback mechanism is "vigorous, fast-acting and extremely responsive". An independent gear stick will be available to buy in the coming months.

"The goal that I set for the Thrustmaster team was to design for me the most precise wheel ever developed, without any latency – to accurately reproduce the sensations of GT5, and let users truly feel the emotions experienced by drivers on real racing circuits," said Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi.

The T500 RS launches in Europe and North America on 5th January, and in Japan on 25th January. It carries a suggested retail price of €499.99 (VAT included), which works out at around £425.
