Confirmed – Gran Turismo 5 appearing at GamesCom

granturismo5

This’ll make some people happy.

Kotaku’s Brian Crecente just put live a YouTube video of him walking about the GC show floor. Now, fast forward to 1:30 in the video. What do you see? You’ll see a shitload of Gran Turismo 5 demo pods there for journos to play the game this week in Cologne.

This adds more wood to the fire that not only the game will appear at Sony’s press conference in a little over 3 hours from now, but the game will actually release this year. Catch the video after the jump.

It comes as GameZine pointed out an article by Japanese magazine Express, where the mag confirmed the game will be playable at GC and also at the Tokyo Game Show.

More through the link.

You know, I was wondering if it could be PSP. Do they have that kind of functionality yet?

“i’m mumbling about U”

Umm… I’ve been talking about GT5 since 2007 (Feel free to check up on Eurogamer / NeoGAF). You really can’t cope with the fact that people can like two consoles at the same time can you.

Sad little man.

Another 5. At which point does outside assistance become required? Do you need insurance in the US before you can be committed?

Nah, he just needs Mommy to buy him an Xbox 360 for his birthday. Then he’ll understand what all the fuss is about.

I don’t know. I’m not sure any console deserves to be spat at every time its owner sees it.

Besides, where would he fit it with the Sony altar taking up so much room in the basement?

Well he could always sit on it to keep his bottom well-heated. He can’t have that much money for gas, poor child, after investing in a PS3.

Fuss? As I recall you started foaming at the mouth as soon as you saw the slim news. Did you get a fresh shipment of handcream and tissues in for today’s conference?

What you and cort get up to in your spare time can stay between you and cort.

(God, is that how it feels to drop to that level? Blech.)

Good games are good games are good games are good games full stop. A maxim that could serve you well, TEA :)

Anyway I’m going to stop being a bitchy cunt.
