Yamauchi speaks: weather changes, night racing in Gran Turismo 5

Finally, some concrete details about the long overdue Gran Turismo 5. I know, I know, am still wondering myself how come this game got stuck in Neverland for the past couple of years when it’s supposed to be the PS3 game everyone just gotta have. But no time for dilly-dallying. Kazunori Yamauchi himself has now spoken, and he brings good news.

Thanks to an interview conducted by Audi, we now hold the info that there will be dynamic weather and night racing in GT 5. The interview is in German, but we were able to get a translated text of it. Here’s what you’d definitely want to know about this “incredibly realistic” racing title:

Kazunori Yamauchi: We are working on including weather changes, a race which may affect index. And damage to racing cars we will son be able to simulate.

It also appears that there will be loads of online content to be given away once it is released. You know when it makes the most sense. We hope that’s really anytime soon. Cos if it’s been some two years already and it’s still not making sense… then maybe it’s just meant to be broken?

• Rumor: Gran Turismo 5 global release in March 2010, GT game also coming to PSP2?
• Alive n’ kicking: Gran Turismo 5 “hopefully” out by next Christmas – Sony
