Forums - Sony - GT Academy 2010 Launches December 17th With Downloadable Time Trial

RPG on 03 December 2009
Quote:
On 17th December exclusively via the PlayStation store, we will be launching the GT Academy 2010 Time Trial. The time trial will be the only way into this year’s Academy, and if you’ve got what it takes it could be the start of a life-changing journey.
Quote:
This time around the Academy is even bigger and better, and competition is bound to be pretty fierce – perhaps best of all though for Gran Turismo fans, it will be the first opportunity to get a hands-on taster as to what Yamauchi-san and his Polyphony team have been carefully crafting and polishing at their Tokyo base.
Quote:
The time trial features the stunning Nissan 370Z in two guises. Firstly a blisteringly fast, race-tuned monster and secondly an only slightly less fearsome non-tuned version.
Quote:
To enter the Academy racers will have to post their best overall leaderboard times negotiating a specially created section of a new Gran Turismo 5 circuit.

"it will be the first opportunity to get a hands-on taster as to what Yamauchi-san and his Polyphony team have been carefully crafting and polishing at their Tokyo base."

Looks like a demo of the current engine to me.

"Stage One - will offer Gran Turismo fans a sneak preview of the hotly-anticipated Gran Turismo 5 game, due for release during 2010. Competitors will record flying laps on a time trial-based track available via PlayStation®Network, accessed through PS3. Unlike the first GT Academy, participants will not have to enter the competition using the GT5 PrologueTM game itself, and so even more hopeful racing drivers are expected to take part."

Thats awesome. I cant wait till 17th december. GT5 will be first day buy I am really curios how the game will be the handling and the graphics. First time i will see destroyed cars in GT. I will be able to compare it to Forza so we will see if its still the best racing game in the world. I am sure it will.

@Netyaroze,

it is time trial
dont expect damage to be "on"
we can even imagine this specific car will not support damage
nothing is sure with PD and GT



Time to Work !

Hmm ok I will see atleast the Graphics if they are really so amazing because the videos was the best I have ever seen in a racing game.
