Go-Karting, Stunt Arenas and More Coming to GT5
In an interview on the UK PlayStation site, new and exciting details about Sony’s highly anticipated racer, Gran Turismo 5, have been revealed. Some of these literally came out of left field, so prepare yourself to be blown away.
Speaking to the president of Sony’s World Wide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, gamers can expect “stunt arenas, go-karting, [and] creating and sharing your own track or intense head-to-head races” in the newest Gran Turismo game.
“These innovations are twinned with the option to join millions of like-minded individuals globally within the Gran Turismo community and to find a driving experience to suit, whether that is taking on the Top Gear test track, chucking cars around stunt arenas, go-karting, creating and sharing your own track or intense head-to-head races. Who, where and what to drive is completely down to the individual.”
Oddly enough, details as awesome as these were not spilled during the E3 convention, which concluded last week. However, coming from the president of Sony’s World Wide Studios, it is hard not to believe him. In any case, this is awesome news for the millions of fans of the game, which, by the way, is racing to North American retailers November 2nd.

Wow thats pretty cool, go-kart races will be awesome. Stuns kinda have me iffy, it doesnt seem Gran Turismo style.
Creating your own tracks? Interesting..
Yay.
I find this very hard to believe… O_o
don’t forget DAMAGE, it’s been slightly pushing it in the trailers… for like 1 second.
dude this is why they keep delaying this game, they keep adding more and more stuff.
what isnt in this game?
@Blkant
i agree, seems to be too much
Modnation Truismo 5
This is quickly turning from the PlayStation’s premiere racing “simulator” to an arcade cabinet port. Makes you wonder if keeping it back for 3D was a good decision. And what I see about the damage in the trailer looks to prove the point that the damage is only superficial, body panels and doors coming off is nothing to the damage model Code Masters uses in their Racing titles.
Something has to be wrong here. This could ruin the game and split the audience.
hello …
well i guess it will be released with enough stuff for us to wait for GT6
…
well a lot to do & being a real simulator, it’s not a game to beat in 10 hours.
OK i still hope they won’t add fry egg or boil water functionality to the game, there’s been 5 or more NFS, now 3 Forza since they announced it the first time.
cheers!
I’m just trying to picture the scene when somebody suggested that go-kart racing be added to Gran Turismo 5, and Yamauchi said “Yeah, that’s good idea.”
Kind of pissed off that they spent all this bs time for 3D, stunts, and go-karts instead of more tracks…
@KwietStorm
ruin the game what are you?
This is going to be an unbelievable game!
This could have been the perfect TGS surprise, oh well I’m excited either way
by the way I hope GT5 has the Seattle track!
I don’t get it? If they don’t add enough stuff, people complain, if they add too much stuff, people complain.
So they added some mindless fun stuff to a sim game.. big deal, Why would anyone complain about that? It’s just more things to do. Besides, every GT game has had an Arcade mode, now there are more parts to it.
As for tracks, if there is a tack editor, that would allow tons of tracks now wouldn’t it?
Screw the seattle track I want pikes peak! The off road racing in GT, while not a key component, is the best off road racing there is.
November 2nd can’t come soon enough.
@skypeonps3
