Gran Turismo 5 Launching March 2010

Gran Turismo 5 is finally here. Well, almost... six more months to go before the highly popular racing game launches in March 2010... in Japan. To think that almost five years have passed since the introduction of Gran Turismo 4 in 2005. But that time is well-spent, according to game producer Kazunori Yamauchi at least. GT5 promises a more dynamic gaming experience, with weather changes, night races, advanced damage rendering, and incredible details among others.

Such enthusiasm might seem surprising and unfounded for the uninitiated. But then Gran Turismo is really not just another video game. It is the video game for auto enthusiasts, all of whom get to “drive” cars unattainable in real-life. Plenty of people worldwide seem to agree—Sony's racing game franchise sold over 50 million units since its debut in 1997, and GT5 should bump that number up once again.
