Sony has announced that, come December 24, Gran Turismo HD Concept will be downloadable for free on the PlayStation Network. The demo-like title will feature one track and ten cars, including models from Ferrari, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Suzuki, Lotus and Infiniti.
“Gran Turismo HD Concept provides PS3 and automotive fans a glimpse into the future of Gran Turismo,” states Kazunori Yamauchi, famed creator of the Gran Turismo franchise. “With the power of the PS3 technology, the world of Gran Turismo is refined by its full HD visual presentation and unique interactive experience, resulting in an even more realistic and true driving simulator.”
Alas, whenever someone says the words “Gran Turismo” to me, my memory flashes back to E3, and that horrendous gimmicky link-up (between the PS3 and PSP) with the PSP acting as your car’s rear-view mirror. Future of Gran Turismo indeed.
