Gran Turismo Download Scheduled Announced


Recommended Posts

US, December 11, 2007 - Sony has announced a schedule for online content to beef up the driving experience in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, set for Japanese release both in Blu-Ray disk and PlayStation Network download form later this week.

Starting on launch day, 12/13, distribution will begin on free video content for the Gran Turismo TV mode with two programs, "Tokyo Motor Show 2007" and "First Impression Lancer Evolution X." Sony will also start off a text news service, featuring updates from car dealers. You'll also be able to access motor sports related news, maps and weather information for major world raceways, and a calendar.

Actual online play modes will be available just in time for Christmas. Log on to GT5 Prologue in the afternoon on 12/25, and you'll be able to download network battle updates for the game's arcade and time attack modes. Also available on this day will be a Museum mode, featuring histories for car manufacturers.

Other free download content set for release before the end of the year includes two GTTV downloads: The GT-R Legend Inside Story II on 12/14, and The GT-R Legend Inside Story III later in the month. Paid video content for GTTV won't begin until the end of January.

Will the JAP version be in JAP language only like the demo was, anyone know?

Only Japanese :(

People are hoping some of the Asian copy is in English, as a lot of Asian games do include some form of English - But I doubt it.

Also

there are also famitsu reviews, GT5 prologue = 10/10/9/10
