gt5p-north-american-details-announced-split-screen-new-track-update

gtnew5-naprologuecopy.jpg

Polyphony Digital have pulled it out of the bag again. We were expecting a few more cars and perhaps a new track for the North American (and hopefully European) release of Gran Turismo 5: Prologue, but there’s quite a lot more content than we were expecting.

A series track favourite is back, a huge list of new cars and 2 player split screen all headline in what was once called a “glorified demo.”

Oh yes. We didn’t think it would be possible to render GT5:P twice on the PS3 (a feat that Motorstorm couldn’t reach at launch) but Polyphony Digital are wizards of game development.

Headlining the roster of over 70 vehicles and 14 additional tuned cars is the Ferrari 599, the Nissan GT-R and the Audi R8 4.2 FSI R Tronic. The game will include the 5 previous tracks found in the Japanese version, along with an old Gran Turismo classic – the High Speed Ring. There’s plenty to keep you occupied with each track having 2 layouts, whether reversed, shortened, or extended.

Moreover, additional features will be available to North American consumers, including a Drift Mode, Car Tuning, two-player split screen racing and a new set of offline and online Race Events.

Drift Mode – The player’s drifting technique is measured based on drift angles, racing lines, and speeds within evaluation zones located at various turns on the course.
In Depth Car Tuning – Players have the ability to adjust the vehicle’s performance, including power, weight, tires and suspension.
Two-player Split Screen Racing - Allows players to race head-to-head against friends and foes offline.
