Playing Gran Turismo 5 and talking shop with Kaz Yamauchi [w/video]
 

Filed under: Toys/Games


The wait is nearly over. The game we all had nearly given up hope on is now less than five months away. Gran Turismo 5 is a reality, a playable reality, and Sony is making a big enough deal about its November 2 launch date to make us think that, for once, it might actually happen. The version at this year's E3 is by far the most polished version of this game we've yet seen -- and we've seen quite a few over the years.

That it still isn't finished (no full crash damage in the version we played) and that there are still a number of questions to be answered (details for online play, what sort of driver training will be included, etc.) leaves us a bit leery, but we certainly didn't pass up the opportunity to take it for a spin just the same. We were also given the opportunity to speak with series producer Kaz Yamauchi to get his thoughts on the game -- and to chat about his recent real-world racing exploits. Keep on reading for our detailed impressions of the game, and some video of some good 'ol boys banging fenders around the Top Gear Test Track.
