Full details on tomorrow's free Gran Turismo 5 Prologue demo

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 18th 2007 at 1:50PM }

Japan is getting a free taste of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue tomorrow. A demo version of Prologue will be available on the Japanese PSN until November 11th. (The full version of Prologue will retail for about $43.) Included in the demo are seven playable cars:

Lexus IS-F
Nissan GT-R
Mazda Atenza
Subaru Impreza WRX STI
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
Daihatsu OFC-1
BMW 135i Coupe

Also, in coordination with the Tokyo Motor Show, new cars will be unveiled in the game from October 23rd to the 25th. However, there will only be one track featured in the demo: Suzuka. No online play will be included with the demo, but single player will have you competing against 15 other racers, making for a less solitary experience than last year's Gran Turismo HD.

[Thanks, Rocket Punch!]

Interesting line-up since half of them arent out yet.. its almost like those manufacteurs paid Sony to include them in the demo.. line a product placement.

You just need to set up a Japanese account.

@ 6 wonderflex,.

some of us like to be able to read and know whats going on aside from the gameplay itself,.

I for one will be downloading this tomorrow though anyway just to see even if it will be in Japanese

What is all the hoopla if we are not getting this game in the states? I am not goinf to create a Japanese game just to get it.

@ Tim Parsons

Oh, I think that all of us like to know what's going on, but for the most part the beauty of video games is that unless you are playing an RPG language may not even matter.

Judging from other Japanese games I imagine that there will be a lot of english on the main menus.

English, Japanese, Martian.... hell i'll take it in braile!! ;)

Wonderflex @ Oct 18th 2007 6:44PM

@P

Nicely put...although I can't quite imagine what a brail version would be like.

P @ Oct 18th 2007 10:06PM

well, i was thinking... kinda bumpy ;)

What the hell would you need to read? It's a racing game. It's not like you will need to read any instructions. X is most likely go, O is most likely stop. And as Wonderflex said most Japanese games have English in them.
You should be grateful to play it no matter what language it's in.
