Video Coverage of GT5’s Madrid Launch Party

I was fortunate enough to attend the Gran Turismo 5 launch party in Madrid last November and, though I took lots of photos, I didn’t have any good video to share. Fortunately, before the festivities kicked off, I met up with InsideSimRacing’s European correspondent Andreas Nie, who captured plenty of great footage at the event and around the city. After the press session, I sat down with Andreas to talk about the event and my personal first impressions of the game. It’s all in ISR’s latest video feature, published yesterday and embedded above.

Thanks, once again, to Sony and Jardine International, who made it possible for me to attend!

    Nice coverage. Jordan, with all the work you still have planned for the site, do you ever get to play the game?

    It was great to see and hear the person behind this awesome website – just like the website you across as a complete professional in the interview Jordan.

      Thanks, Mark, I’m glad you enjoyed the interview. @fast: Hah, we joked about how small I looked while reviewing the video, as Andreas and I were actually the same size and height on the couch. The angle of the camera produced a perspective illusion of sorts.

    How old are you Jordan? If you’ve beem running the site for ten years so i’m guessing late 20’s. You look about 17 though. Congratulations on you meeting Kazunori!
