Sony Teases GT6 Content in “Greatness Awaits” Ad Campaign

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QOdW1OuZ1U0

At E3 this year, Sony launched their “Greatness Awaits” ad campaign, which will be used to promote the entire PlayStation brand leading up to the PS4’s release this fall.

To kick things off, they published the video above on their official YouTube channel, and are teasing the release of additional content based upon the number of views that video receives.

As many in our community quickly discovered, new Gran Turismo 6 content is promised when the clip hits 5 million views.

As of writing, it’s sitting at just under 1 million, and still has a ways to go. Hit the “play” button above and do your part!

      The newz from PD is that the video have to get 10 Million views to get special content of GT6 ;)

    1. sangdude82

      I think that it’s bit harsh to make people to watch the video 5 million times to unlock the first exclusive content :(

  1. Lain

    When we hit 5M, it will be revealed that all the GT6 footage we’ve seen up until now has actually been running on the PS2 and that the real PS3 version looks absolutely insane. :lol:

  2. blackjack

    C’mon Kaz, all this drip-feeding of GT6 news is driving me to the pits! Drop the track-list on us already!

  3. Zeeto

    I think you don´t only have to watch the video but go to the “greatnessawaits” homepage and find the GT-content on Scene 5 of 9 … on the uper left corner there is a race going on. click on the blue car and you “found” the GT content…

    only if you did that, it counts!

  4. HKS racer

    Seriously why should I help Sony getting payed from Youtube?
    You can keep all your features for Day One.

    I want notices about GT6 cars. if have ferrari ff, F12, Laferrari, pagani hyura. new Viper and etc…. Good cars :P

  6. SVT Cobra GT

    Just gone over 920,000 views as of writing this. The Last Of Us content will be unlocked after 1,000,000 views.

    At this rate I think 5,000,000 is a bit high, might be a while before that figure is reached.

  7. RobDoggy05

    go onto the Sony page on Youtube, watch the video and wait for the scene (I think 5) where the cars race past in the top left of the screen, click explore under the video and then click on the cars that are racing.

      sony website or PlayStation website? come on people we gotta work as a team to get 5million lets do this

    Perhaps another forum… but I saw a BMW commercial that apparently used some GT imagery. Kinda slick.

    1. infamousphil

      During a network TV broadcast. A new M3 commercial that showed a montage, imagery – not video, of M3’s of yore. Some of those pics lookedlike they were from GT3. The photos were flashed so fast l couldn’t
      be certain. But some of the background caught my attention too. I’ll check the internet later.

    2. ps3finest

      I remember that. I am almost entirely sure that it was the GT4 High Speed Ring. Very exciting at the time.

  9. researchALLwars

    I say click the hell out of this video just for the fact that Sony knows how many views are from this GTPlanet embedded clip/link.

    Let’s make this site even bigger.

    1. researchALLwars

      and the track in the upper left of this clip looks like Mt. Panorama, at the beginning of the s-curves after reaching the summit.

  10. RaceReady

    I saw the cars racing on the track at the end of the video up in the far left corner at the top. Thats GT. :D

  11. WoDeep

    I think you don´t only have to watch the video but go to the “greatnessawaits” homepage and find the GT-content on Scene 5 of 9 … on the uper left corner there is a race going on. click on the blue car and you “found” the GT content…

    only if you did that, it counts!!!

  12. Quigz125

    If you watch it in the GTP app on the iPhone does it still count? Or do I have to be on my PC to count?

  13. JaySamurai

    Jeeze look at what these people have me doing lol Anyway going to head over to official youtube channel to do my bit and check the count.

  14. Blood*Specter

    Looking at the picks on gran-turismo.com I can not wait for this game. Looks like all the driving views have been enhanced.
    Hoping for unlimited Race Mods for most cars. The exceptions would be classics.

    I would like to see interior changes after each stage of weight reductions.
    The stock interior should go away and be replaced by a stripped down interior with roll cage and racing seat(s).
    Hopefully they will have stock, sport and racing brakes and 1.5 LSD setups.

    1. Pit Crew

      OK but what does your wishlist have to do with the Video in this particular blog? Agreed Mubble.

  15. smskeeter23

    Another problem is all the third parties posting this. Just in the top ten results display in my search here there is over 500,000 views of it that aren’t counting to the total on the PS channel.

    Found another acct to watch it on… 905,713 now.

  16. smskeeter23

    I’m guessing there is an easter egg im this commercial for every game represented in it. Has anyone seen any other “content locked” messages for other games pointing to this video?

    Can anyone figure out what track that is or might be?

  17. ChromeBallz

    Whatever you say about Sony, they do make great commercials.

    This doesn’t reach the awesomeness of Michael, but still nice :)

  18. UrieHusky

    Are you kidding me? we get barely any information and then we’re told we have to wait for a video to be watched an arbitrary number of times??

    That’s cute and all but frankly I’m outraged that information is being held back based on an ad campaign.

    1. drag lab 101

      Just a tactic to gauge how many ppl would might be interested. Almost a game of itself to try drive the number up quickly for the release of this juicy morsel many are dying to taste.

    2. oneloops

      Interested in GT6 ??? easy : the same who bought GT5 + 15% more or less.

      I’ve seen thousands of videos of things i’m not interested and sure i’m not going to buy !

      Marketing and ads sucks.

    3. drag lab 101

      Because you are sure the entire GT5 community plus 15% are sold on GT6 they should be?!
      Ridiculous!
      Besides like it or hate it… You’ll just have to deal with it.

    4. oneloops

      It’s my opinion, GT6 is better and bigger than GT5 and will be sold in PS3 and PS4.

      To make an estimation with the video replay is much more ridiculous !

      We haven’t to deal with it, we can tell our opinion of this kind of bad marketing in youtube comments and here ;)

  19. steebz

    This is a bit off topic but it’s kind of big news so here goes.

    I just saw this on the official XBOX website:

    “An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.

    Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.

    In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console — there will be no regional restrictions.”

    LOL Microsoft is having to eat lots and lots of humble pie….

    1. HuskyGT

      MS isn’t that arrogant it seems. I knew they would come around. Sony hit them so hard in the E3 it was logical they would do this. The console is still more restrictive than the PS4, so no deal. Plus, there is not Gran Turismo for the Xbox or the other Sony exclusives that I like.

    2. drag lab 101

      They can sway on those features all they want. Shouldn’t have been implemented in the 1st place. They can make those changes and my money still goes somewhere else 1st.
      Bending on those issues for the community hasn’t made the console anymore powerful or cheaper VS the PS4.
      Ill get one at some point, but not at launch.

  20. p3bucky

    I’m a little unclear on if GT6 is in fact a PS3 game… I see here that it’s PS3, people online say PS4, and it was just in a new playstation commercial?

    1. BoneSawTX

      secondly a lot of people online are idiots and the commercial doesn’t specify a particular model, it’s for both PS3 and PS4.

    2. steebz

      Agreed Nato_777 and BoneSawTX.

      The advert is for playstation, not for any one console in particular. Remember, there will be three bespoke consoles on sale this year. (Four if they still sell PS2s LOL)

    3. Streeto

      First off there wasn’t a single mention of GT6 in that commercial.

      Secondly, Kaz has confirmed many times that it is a PS3 game.

    4. drag lab 101

      Streeto they don’t mention it…
      but clearly in the video you see a track with race cars in the back ground with a GT6 logo on the wall.
      That being said I couldn’t understand as to why anyone would consider this commercial to feature exclusive PS4 content.
      It obviously represents the entire Playstation universe which clearly isn’t confined to any one system/console.
      And I’m not sure what cave a few of these ppl might dwell in but the information confirming GT6 as a PS3 title and way later as a PS4 release is… Idk… Everywhere on the Internet, not just here.

    5. drag lab 101

      It wasnt mentioned by them as oppose to confirmation on PS4. I’d doubt they go into officials yes & details as to not confuse the consumers or hurt the original pS3 sales. But Kaz even mentioned they are interested in bring it to pS4…. It just won’t be anytime soon at all. I’d imagine the version for PS4 wouldn’t even be released in a years time after the PS3 one had.

    6. SavageEvil

      Wouldn’t be surprised if Sony pulled a GT6 on both platforms, anything is possible. GT6 on PS3 is amazing for me as I don’t need to shell out big bucks and have to impulse buy GT6 along with the PS4.

    7. p3bucky

      Geez lol, I was just checking to make sure it was for PS3. No need to bust me for not knowing :P I’m on NGU more than here and there hasn’t really been anything about it there.

    8. Pit Crew

      Actually Kaz never said GT6 was a PS4 title. He did imply a GT title is being considered for PS4…
