sony may have dropped a few details about gran turismo 5 (like a release date) at its e3 presentation, but it was saving the real news for an even bigger event: cue random interview on the uk playstation site with sony worldwide studios head shuhei yoshida.

in this interview, yoshida casually confirms the existence of unannounced elements in the racing sim, including a track editor and go-karts. for every individual driver, yoshida says there is '''''' a driving experience to suit, whether that is taking on the top gear test track, chucking cars around stunt arenas, go-karting, creating and sharing your own track or intense head-to-head races.''''''

elsewhere in the interview (and just as nonchalantly), yoshida references some '''''' new game-enhancing graphical effects, such as damage, night racing and weather.'''''' damage has already been confirmed and weather rumored.

of course, we aren't totally sure gran turismo 5 is a real game yet, and if it is as imaginary as it seems to be, you can say pretty much anything is in it, like: ''''''gran turismo 5 will feature crocodile mile racing.'''''' see? there's as much proof for that feature that we just made up as there is for anything else, and that will be the case until the game is released.

[thanks, p] gran turismo 5 includes track editor, weather and go-karts originally appeared on joystiq on mon, 21 jun 2010 19:20:00 est. please see our terms for use of feeds.
