It looks like they placed in 3D cars for some reason, like he is passing GT1, GT2 and such going by the number plates.

I would not bother looking into it too much.
 
LOL, look at the license plates for the cars he's passing.

He passed a car with
GT1
GT2
GT4
GT5

3 was absent for some reason.

GT6 or the PS4? I've seen nothing indicating the PS4 will have world wide launch.

PS4. Watch Dogs EU trailer said autumn 2013 release (and said also for next gen consoles). That along with the rumor (by inside sources at manufacturers) claiming sony wants to ship 16 million ps4s within the first year (a significantly higher output than the ps3) seem to hint at a worldwide launch.

Not to mention, recently at the event in Brazil (a country that just got the ps3 officially released) they indicated the ps4 would also launch there at the same time as North America. If they're releasing it in Brazil at the same time, I doubt they'd delay launch in a region where they're guaranteed to sell a ton more.

It's a "ghost". In GT you are able to race against your previous lap times. When doing so, the car representing your previous time is ghosted...

I get that, so there is gameplay footage in th trailer, and the guys face kind of unnerves me. I dont think its real... plus id like to believe that its all gameplay footage from a next gen GT

thanks for clarifying. would be great if true.
 
GUYS. GUYS.

It's NOT IN GAME FFS.

They have superimposed old GT cars into real video. And they've done it pretty poorly, hence the transparency.

Awesome news!!!

I like the fact they chose Silverstone for the venue! :)

I hope it's a PS4 launch title, or close to, I went mad importing a PS3 just for GT:HD and felt a little down when GT5 was so long in the making..

It'll be interesting to see the direction they go in, I've felt PD needed to apply a little more polish to game, and maybe (dare I say) look to other games best ideas and not be so insular..

I was quite hyped after the PS4 announcement, they seem to be really heading in the right direction, I just prey PD keep my hype going.
 
Here are all the moments with the digital cars vs real life car.

It's not ingame footage it's just a symbolic overtaking to the GT6 finish line. The track is always real, the car models are cut out of gameplay I think.

You can clearly read the GT1,2,3,4 when you enlarge the pics in this quote. No GT5 car I think, maybe I have to take a closer look.

The announcement flyer should have look like this...

8719757811_5ba046d96f_b.jpg


they need to give us audiophiles a glimmer of hope (that sounds will be vastly improved).

Let us pray.

Kaz did acknowledge that they need to make the sounds sexier. Now the question is, what's his definition of sexier?
I guess we'll find out soon enough...

Has the official press-release been posted?

Sony Computer Entertainment Celebrates 15 Years of Gran Turismo®

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) will host a celebration of the 15th anniversary of ‘the real driving simulator’ at the world-famous Silverstone Circuit (UK) on 15th May, 2013. The original Gran Turismo® game was first seen in Japan in December, 1997, after five years of development by legendary designer Kazunori Yamauchi, and then released around the world during 1998. The franchise went on to become multi award winning and the biggest-selling PlayStation® title ever.

Yamauchi-san is set to provide an update on the future of the Gran Turismo game at Silverstone. His passion for all things automotive is evident in the ever-increasing levels of realism and attention to detail in Gran Turismo, and the huge range of cars for which it is famous. Strong relationships with the many manufacturers that have featured in the franchise have led to some fascinating co-operations with the automotive world; such as the Red Bull X2010 ultimate race car, GTbyCitroën concept, a design co-operation for a display featuring on the real Nissan GT-R and an innovative new app developed for the Toyota GT86.

In a close partnership with Nissan, PlayStation has taken the virtual-to-reality overlap, inspired by Gran Turismo, to a new level in the form of the Nissan PlayStation GT Academy. The now-famous racing driver development program selects the fastest GT gamers from around the world and transfers their talent to real-world racing. The competition began in 2008 and has gone from strength to strength. Over three million people have entered since its inception, and graduates of the Academy have recorded some impressive results, including a second-place finish in the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hours LMP2 class. Five Gran Turismo gamers turned GT Academy champions will be on hand at Silverstone. The ‘Nismo Athletes’ will be showing off their real-world racing skills with some high-speed passenger laps around the famous circuit, a track that has, so far, never featured in Gran Turismo.

This mutual respect and increasing blurring of the lines between the virtual and real, has led to the Silverstone event being well supported by a host of other manufacturers as well, such as Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Jaguar, KTM, Mercedes Benz, Tesla and Toyota. Real-life versions of their cars, old and new, familiar to the legions of passionate Gran Turismo fans will be on display and on-track as part of the event.

“The Gran Turismo franchise continues to be extremely important to PlayStation,” explained Jim Ryan, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. “We felt that 15 years of GT was an event worth celebrating along with our colleagues from the Americas, Asia and Japan. We are very grateful to our manufacturer partners for helping us to bring together a fantastic event. As well as experiencing the development of the game and comparing the virtual and real, it will be a pleasure to see Yamauchi-san and hear what’s next for Gran Turismo.”

add more fuel to hype, this is from November though. Amar, this still hold true?

Once the six skip the three
Saving for the four
Question stays about the five
Waiting for some more

Due the fact we knew too much
About the four and five
Six will hide until it can
Kevin Butlers' Jive

It's six step left six step right
Rinse, repeat and wait
The three will get some finger food
And four will celebrate.

You know, it's been nothing but good news and hype for Sony for the last few months. Whoever is responsible for this turnaround is an absolute legend.
MS have their work cut out that's for sure..

Yea, this event is well positioned to draw hype away from the MS May 21 event.
SNE has appeared 1 step head of MS in 2013
