Japan Gaming Guide

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is looking very nice indeed. The official website went live last month, and now features a ton of new screens. Famitsu recently interviewed Kazunori Yamauchi and revealed a few more details about the game.

Online community building will play a large role in the game. A myspace style page will be selectable from the menu which will include your friends list and ranking details. They also hope you’ll be able to walk around towns and look at cars, in addition to driving round in them. The in-car cockpit views are looking very nice – the dashboard looks pretty detailed and apparently you can look around using the d-pad. You’ll be able to customize the interior of your vehicle and the graphics are apparently so good you’ll be able to appreciate the quality of the leather seats in your shiny red Ferrari.

40 cars and 4 tracks will be included. Single player races will feature 16 cars, multiplayer numbers are unknown, but 12 is given as a minimum.

If you upgrade to the full Gran Turismo 5 you’ll be able to transfer your save data, including all that hard earned cash.

We’re also given a tentative release date of October 24th, just in time for the Tokyo Motor Show.
