Gran Turismo 5 to Team with Honda in Massive New York Times Square Event

Posted by Alex Armour // Manager, Public Relations

Gran Turismo fans! If you’re in New York this Thursday, we will be part of a major Honda event in the middle of Times Square to celebrate the launch of their CR-Z Sport Hybrid coupe. In addition to tons of displays, interactive elements, and on-stage entertainment (N.E.R.D.!), we will have a number of racing sleds available for consumers to come by and play the latest build of Gran Turismo 5 in glorious stereoscopic 3D, featuring the all-new CR-Z.

Honda will have a huge 3D Spectacolor screen installed to show off their new “Eclipse” commercial in 3D (at 46th, between Broadway and 7th), and there will be a host of other 3D content that will be showcased at the event.

Some other items to keep an eye out for:

  • Exclusive musical performance by N.E.R.D. at the Honda Stage at 12:30pm located on Broadway between 42nd and 43rd Streets
  • Interactive CR-Z vehicle displays
  • Racing simulators for fans to play Gran Turismo 5 in 3D, featuring the CR-Z in-game
  • Maxim models on site to distribute copies of the first ever 3D issue which includes a CR-Z 3D ad
  • Polite in Public photo booths with 3D backdrops
  • Distribution of special screen-printed shirts on-site

The event is this Thursday, September 23rd going from 10am to 6pm. Hope to see you there!

Call in sick?

Pre-orders better jump :(



So a racing simulation game partners with Honda, the only company with an American presence that doesn't have a single sports car in its line up?

Honda was great for car enthusiasts in times past.  The S2000 and NSX pretty much bested everything in their classes when released.  Now, there's nothing.  The CR-Z is as much a sports car as the Toyota Corolla.

Porsche just released a 911 Speedster.  BMW just released the 6 Series Coupe Concept and is about to unviel the 1M.  Audi just unvieled the S7.  There were so many better options.

Is your boss a Gran Turismo fan Euphoria?

She is taking off that entire week and I am not able to take off when she is off.

I guess she considers me too valuable? Impossible for us to both me out at the same time.

 

It's a nice situation to be in and I am honestly not that big a GT fan.
