Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) Launch in Sydney.

It was all smiles and excitement as people filtered into the midnight launch event organised by Harvey Norman and Sony. A Sony enforced ban on the sale of the game till midnight of the 25th November ensured a large crowd at the event. Gran Turismo 5 is easily this year’s most coveted and anticipated racing game. With constant delays that have pushed back the release date of the game till now. The game shows off Sony’s Playstation 3′s graphic capabilities and gives the game a hyper realistic feel. It’s definitely no Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, but something a little more serious, but no less fun.

Before even stepping into the store there were a few nice cars downstairs, including this R35 GT-R. I have a feeling that a lot of the customers would have rather have had the chance to win this than the scale model.

There were 4 of these set ups, i would have happily taken home one. It’s definitely THE way to enjoy the game. A Playstation 3 controller just won’t cut it.

Mr Kazunori Yamauchi has outdone himself this time, the cars are so beautifully rendered with excruciatingly fine details present on all cars.

The crowd eager to try their hand at winning the prize.

But in the end this was what it was about. A copy of the game to bring home and enjoy for hours on end.

2010 Tokyo Auto Salon: Stage One

It has been an exhausting event for retailers, producers, consumers and everyone else in between. Rightly so too because this year marked a distinct turnaround in the vibe, attitude and more than likely, income of the biggest motorshow on the Japanese calendar. This change in energy provided a bumper crowd, non stop action and a feel good ether born of the positive thoughts for the future of things to come.
