GT 5 Prologue Features


Racing fans have been looking forward to the upcoming release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, the latest installment in the franchise. Today, SCEA announced the full vehicle roster, track list and features for the upcoming game, which will be released on April 17th for $39.99 from the PlayStation Store and on Blu-ray. The Blu-ray version will include a behind the scenes video called "Beyond the Apex." More than sixty vehicles and 14 tuned cars will be included in the game, with the Ferrari 599, Nissan GT-R and Dodge Viper GTS as standouts amongst the large roster. These vehicles can be raced around the six tracks in the game, including Daytona International Speedway, Fuji Speedway, and Suzuka Circuit. Each track will have two different track layouts as well.

The North American release of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will also receive additional features, such as a Drift Mode that will evaluate a player's technique in specific zones around a course and car tuning adjustments to tweak a vehicle's performance. North American owners will also be able to race head to head with a two player split screen offline, and experience new race events offline and online.

The title supports up to 16 players online in races, which will add to the gameplay, and will be supplemented by Gran Turismo TV, a dedicated online channel from the PlayStation Network focused on racing programming and manufacturing content. Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will also include a new cockpit racing view, dynamic AI, as well as a new physics engine, user homepage and DualShock 3 support.

"This impressive vehicle lineup and the additional features that cater to North American racing fans are great compliments to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue's stunning 1080p graphics and revolutionary online features," said Scott A. Steinberg, the vice president of product marketing at SCEA. "Fans are sure to be pleased with the first Gran Turismo product for sale on PlayStation 3."
