A recent press event in Japan has revealed what appears to be a list of online featuares to be included in the highly anticipated Gran Turismo 5 for the PlayStation 3.

The list of features is as followed:

Online Garage
A place to store your vehicles for others to see.

Voice Chat
Online talking

Head to Head Racing
Simple 1 vs 1 racing

Bulletin Board
For news postings and announcements.

Time Trial

Spectator Mode

Track Day
Who knows what this might be.

Team Builder
Online clans perhaps? The ability to assemble a group of racers and manage with them?

B-Spec Race
Again, who knows what this could be.

Club Builder
Possible similarities with Team Builder, perhaps?

License Test
Gain your license through various test.

Coloring / Livery Editor

Drift Contest

Number Plate Editor

Self-explanatory


That is one large list...

So as you can see, the list is pretty huge and in depth (pending official confirmation), with GT5 turning out to be one of the better racing games of 2008 – with a little competition in the form of Midnight Club: Los Angeles, naturally.

Gran Turismo 5 is a PlayStation 3 exclusive racing sim that is backed by the success of its four mammoth predecessors. GT5 will feature over 700 cars including for the first time ever, Ferrari vehicles. Also for the first time ever will be a complete online mode as well as real-time In-Car view to immerse gamers into the racing experience. Set to release in 2008, Gran Turismo 5 is a must own for any PS3 racing enthusiast.

Please continue to visit PSU, as we will bring you more on Gran Turismo 5 in the near future.

    Between this and very differant Motorstorm, Sony has complete supremacy of the racing genre.

    This is cool because ps home will be the hub for avatars and everything and then when you go into the games online services it should allow us to go directly into the online community to games which will be nice.

    B-spec mode is when you are the race manager for your driver, instead of driving the car yourself. I can't wait for GT5 man...!

    its damn near impossible to hate against this game. if you do then you are one ignorant gamer and don't deserve to play high quality games.

    this game is going to be absolutely insane. i cant wait any longer. give it to me now. por favor.

    you know what would be cool? if, in your personal apartment in home, you could have a garage. and you could pick a car from any racing game you own and put it in there :D like if you bought a ferrari in GT5, you could put that in there. or if you have a completely tricked out 350Z from NFS, you could put that in there. that would be amazing :P

    I cant get excited about this game. I loved the first three but didnt think the 4th was that great and the 5th just doesnt grab me. Maybe Ill change my mind but right now Id go for the latest Burnout before GT5.
