Gran Turismo 5 Release Date Confirmed

gran_turismo_5_chrome_m3_gts

Gran Turismo 5 has been slated for release so many times and then it’s been held back for various reasons, well it appears that it now has a definite date for release. Wednesday November 24th is when it is meant for release over here in the UK. Amazon UK have both a Standard Edition (£37.91) Gran Turismo 5 Release Date Confirmed and a Collector’s Edition (£59.99) Gran Turismo 5 Release Date Confirmed of the game listed too.

Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital Inc. had this to say about Gran Turismo 5:

“Gran Turismo 5 is an ambitious project, with challenges and complexities which have made it our version of the Apollo Space Programme!”

along with:

“When we created the original Gran Turismo back in 1997, we wanted to set a completely new precedent for the racing genre. With the technological leap onto PlayStation 3, our objective with GT5 was to create another great revolution which would not only satisfy our own high expectations, but would meet or even exceed the anticipation of the fans. Satisfying the loyal Gran Turismo followers is at the heart of all of our efforts, which is why it was such a difficult decision to delay the release of the game, and one which we did not take lightly. I can only apologise to everyone for making you wait so long, and I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed.”

In Gran Turismo 5, you can tackle the world’s most famous racetracks, rendered in high definition that is as vivid as the real thing, and get behind the wheels of some of the most legendary cars in motor racing from past to cutting-edge present. Today, the impressive complete list of over 1,000 in-game cars was unveiled, including the Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce, the Lexus LFA and the McLaren MP4-12C. The full track list was also revealed, which will see players going head to head on famous legacy circuits such as Autumn Ring, Deep Forest Raceway and the Grand Valley Speedway, plus renowned real-life circuits such as Nurburgring and the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

Blacklight: Tango Down – NOW ON PSN

Blacklight-Tango-Down-E3-2010-Hands-On-2

Following a highly successful launch on Xbox 360 and Games for Windows – LIVE this summer, PlayStation gamers will now receive a fully-updated version of the game, along with PSN-exclusive content.  Adding to the futuristic shooter’s seven game types and four co-op missions, the PSN launch will include ‘Crossover’ a PSN-exclusive map, which draws players into the financial district just as it transforms into a war zone. Also exclusive to Blacklight: Tango Down’s PSN release is the ‘Join in Progress’ feature, which allows players to team up with their friends and enter matches without having to wait for an intermission. Additionally, UTV Ignition Entertainment will offer players a free tour of duty in the engaging Blacklight universe with a downloadable multiplayer demo that will be available on the PlayStation Network alongside the title’s release.

“Seeing the positive fan reception of Blacklight over the last few months as the game launched on XBLA and Games for Windows – LIVE has been truly inspiring,”  “We spent the summer listening to fan feedback and fine-tuning the game to make sure we’re delivering the most immersive shooter experience possible, while keeping the bargain price of just 15 bucks.  We’re incredibly happy with the final result and know fans will enjoy the game more than ever before.”

- Jared Gerritzen, Lead Designer at Zombie Studios.

In Blacklight: Tango Down, players are equipped with high-tech, futuristic gear that makes combat fascinating and surreal. Its weapon customization system allows for trillions of different configurations that deliver unlimited adaptability and variety of gameplay.  Each player is also equipped with a Hyper Reality Visor (HRV), an advanced imaging system in the player’s Heads-up Display that detects nearby enemy and friendly forces and relays the information back to players, giving them immediate battlefield intelligence. Blacklight: Tango Down is a fast-paced, action-oriented first-person shooter that marks the first release of what will be a multi-platform entertainment franchise. Beyond the video game, a BlackLight feature film from Twentieth Century Fox and comic book series are currently in development. Designed to bring a fun, absorbing, and high quality AAA multiplayer experience to DLG venues, the game exists in a future between contemporary and sci-fi shooters – part Blade Runner and part Call of Duty.

brand-new type (ISV-Prototype).

Wildgoat

The Wildgoat, designed mainly as a long-range weapons platform with limited defensive capabilities,
became popular among snipers and artillery specialists, for whom the ability to deliver a devastating
initial strike is worth more than a few sheets of extra armor.

ISV-Prototype

The ISV-Prototype was never mass-produced, and only a handful is known to exist. Built to push the
limits of military-grade hover units, the ISV-Prototype is able to field weaponry comparable to land-
based wanzers while still retaining the ability to move across impassable terrain.
