Just when we all thought it couldn’t get any better, amongst the E3 madness, president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, has confirmed some stunning details of much anticipated racer Gran Turismo 5. Before you read on, I recommend you get a shovel ready to scrape your jaw off from the floor.

Take it away, Shuhei:

‘What can we look forward to when Gran Turismo 5 releases on PlayStation 3?
Gran Turismo 5 will offer gamers an experience more rich, more in-depth and more exciting than they might expect – even from a series as closely identified with innovation and invention as Gran Turismo. Not only will Gran Turismo 5 deliver an even more comprehensive set of cars and courses than gamers saw with previous iterations, it will also feature new game-enhacing graphical effects such as damage, night racing and weather.

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.

This time around Gran Turismo is likely not just to be the definitive driving experience but a definitive gaming experience full stop.’

Gran Turismo 5 launches on PlayStation 3 on the 2nd November 2010 in North America. A European release date is not yet known but has been confirmed for November as well.
