At the Fukuoka Motor Show in Fukuoka, Japan (home to Polyphony Digital’s new headquarters), a new version of Gran Turismo 6 was available, revealing multi-screen display support.

Kazunori Yamauchi made a special appearance at the Taipei Game Show this weekend, and the first announcements are coming in from Taiwanese sites Gamerhotline and UDN (as kindly translated by our own Yui-san).

If you had the chance to join us for yesterday’s live Gran Turismo roundtable discussion, you probably noticed a mysterious track was revealed in a new trailer for GT6 (thanks to ameer67 for grabbing these screenshots).

KAZ: Pushing the Virtual Divide is now available, premiering exclusively on streaming service Hulu (it will be widely released on Sony Movie Channel, Sony Entertainment Network, Amazon Instant Video, and Crackle starting February 5, 2014).

On Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at 6:00pm PST (click here to convert this to your local time zone), I will be hosting members of the Gran Turismo production team, 2013 GT Academy U.S. champion Nick McMillen, and KAZ director Tamir Moscovici, in a roundtable discussion streamed live on the official PlayStation Twitch.tv channel.

Everybody has opinions and ideas on what they’d like to see in a Gran Turismo game, but with thousands of messages posted in GTPlanet’s forums every day, it can be difficult to get a clear picture of what people are really asking for.

SCEA has announced the release date for KAZ: Pushing the Virtual Divide, a documentary about the history of Gran Turismo and its creator, Kazunori Yamauchi. The film will be released on January 22, 2014 via web streaming service, Hulu.

Dale Lomas is a driving instructor and race car driver at the Nurburgring, and he had the chance to drive the Swiss Racing Toyota GT86 in a VLN race at the circuit last year. When he got his hands on GT6, he quickly purchased the game’s GT86 Race Car to create this comparison video.

It may be the best time of the year, but bad things can still happen.

Sony has published the first gameplay video of Mario Andretti’s 1948 Hudson, which will become available in Gran Turismo 6 on December 19th.

Since the launch of GT6, a team of mechanics has been re-building Mario Andretti’s first race car, a 1948 Hudson, as part of the game’s “First Love” campaign.

It’s always great to see how Polyphony Digital’s virtual world compares to the real thing, and this split-screen tour of Brands Hatch by YouTuber DigiProst is certainly no exception.

If you’ve been playing GT6 since version 1.01 was launched on December 5th, you might have noticed something – changes to the software are being pushed out every few days in minor updates, released quietly without online service downtime or an official list of documented changes.

At the massive Gran Turismo 6 launch event, it was first announced that the BMW M4 Coupe – one of the highest-profile vehicles launching in 2014 – would be coming to the game “shortly after launch”.

Late-night TV host, comedian, and “car guy” Jay Leno has had a strong connection with the Gran Turismo series since his “Tank Car” first appeared in GT4. He also served as the “host” of Gran Turismo PSP, narrating the game’s English voice-overs.

Over the past week, Gran Turismo 6 has taken over the small town of Ronda, Spain, in what was arguably one of the largest launch events in the history of the video game industry.

At the Gran Turismo 6 launch event, GTPlanet had the opportunity to take part in a round-table interview with GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi at the Ascari Race Resort.

Gran Turismo 6 releases worldwide today, officially starting the sixth chapter of one of the most popular video game series of all time, having sold more than 70 million copies in total.

The Honda/Acura NSX Concept was added to the GT6 car list a few days ago, and today its inclusion in the game has been formally announced with a gorgeous set of official screenshots. The car was first announced for the GT series in a special trailer (above), released in January last year.
