Top Gear Test Track And Episodes In Gt5 - darkpuppet - 10-25-2007
It's official!
Gran Tourismo 5 for the Playstation 3 is going to include the Top Gear test track as a playable track. In fact, I think we're going to have our own reasonably priced car challenge when this comes out...
Also, Gran Tourismo 5 is going to offer downloadable episodes of Top Gear...
an excerpt of this article..
Quote:Tokyo, October 24 2007 â Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) and Polyphony Digital, Inc., the creators of the best-selling racing franchise, Gran Turismo®, today announced a collaboration with BBC Worldwide that will allow BBCâs Top Gear programme to be downloaded through Gran Turismo TV (GT TVâ¢) on PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3â¢).
GT TV, a dedicated online channel packed with the latest news and content from the motoring world, will launch worldwide on PLAYSTATION®Network in 2008. BBC Worldwide will provide 40 episodes of Top Gear, the award-winning BBC television series about motoring for download.
In addition, the Top Gear Test Track â the track featured each week on the show, where host Jeremy Clarkson and the Top Gear team test the latest cars â will be replicated in Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) on PS3. For the first time in a racing game, players will be able to burn rubber and experience every white knuckle, hairpin turn on the Top Gear Test Track for themselves.
âWe at Polyphony are great fans of the worldâs best motoring programme, Top Gear, so weâre delighted to be collaborating with BBC Worldwide to deliver Top Gear content via Gran Turismo,â said Kazunori Yamauchi, President, Polyphony Digital, âWeâre sure that players will be as thrilled as we are when they get the chance to put their own driving skills to the test on the Top Gear Test Track in GT5, as well as enjoying classic episodes of Top Gear via GT TV.â
this is amazing news to me!

Neat, but I sure as heck hope they don't offer an option to have Clarkson comment on your driving, because oi, he'd shred me over how I handled the EVO :ph34r:
Heck, he'd rightly kvetch about my handling of the previous three cars, even on sticky as hell race tires I was making them <Clarkson> sing like a cat in a dishwasher </Clarkson>

This almost makes me glad that we have a PS3 (got it 2 days ago). I've yet to find anything I want to play on it besides Guitar Hero 3 whenever we get that.

There's always Ratchet and Clank: Future Tools of Destruction.
It may seem like a childish game (really, it is), but it's hella fun!

Only played 2 games so far, Burnout Revenge or something (PS2 game) and the GTHD concept thingy.
