Comments made by Sony’s Computer Entertianment Europe’s Senior Vice President Michael Denny have been gathering quite a bit of attention over the last 24 hours, and for good reason.

In an interview with Japanese gaming site 4gamer, Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, answered a question about how Polyphony Digital and the Gran Turismo series fits in with the company’s future plans.

The PlayStation 4 was officially unveiled at Sony’s “PlayStation Meeting 2013” on Wednesday evening, and will be released at the end of this year (“Holiday 2013”).

The PlayStation 4 is expected to be announced today during “PlayStation Meeting 2013”, a major press event Sony is hosting in New York City.

All eyes will be on Sony’s “PlayStation Meeting 2013” on Wednesday, where they are widely expected to announce their next-generation console (GTPlanet will have links for the live-stream of the event available before it kicks off at 6:00pm Eastern Time [23:00 GMT]).

A new, free update for Gran Turismo 5, version 2.11, is now available to download.

Just hours after this week’s two unusual maintenance periods concluded, Polyphony Digital announced yet another round of scheduled downtime for Gran Turismo 5’s online services next week.

Polyphony Digital announced two 3-hour scheduled maintenance periods for Gran Turismo 5’s online services yesterday, both of which will take place next week.

The gaming world is abuzz today after Sony announced a special “PlayStation Meeting 2013” event, to be held in New York City on February 20th at 6:00pm Eastern Time (23:00 GMT).

Last November, we were proud to introduce GTPEDIA: GTPlanet’s Guide to the World of Gran Turismo, a massive 376-page encyclopedia detailing every game released in the Gran Turismo series.

The future of Logitech’s sim-racing steering wheel products has come under question since the company announced they “plan to discontinue other non-strategic products, such as speaker docks and console gaming peripherals, by the end of Calendar Year 2013,” in their latest quarterly earnings report.

A new update is now available for Gran Turismo 5, version 2.10. Weighing in at 55MB, it contains the all-new 2014 Corvette Stingray, just announced with a dramatic new video trailer at the 2013 North American International Auto Show.

Much like the 2014 Corvette Stingray’s trailer introduced Willow Springs Raceway, so too has the new Acura NSX Concept trailer made some exciting revelations for Gran Turismo fans.

Careful observers will have noticed an unfamiliar circuit in the latest Gran Turismo 5 video trailer, released to commemorate the launch of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray in the game.

The all-new 2014 Corvette Stingray is the talk of the automotive world today after it was first officially unveiled to the public at a special event last night, and Gran Turismo 5 players will be the first to drive the car, finally free of its camouflage.

Polyphony Digital announced a special maintenance notice earlier today regarding Gran Turismo 5’s online services, which will be offline for approximately two hours starting January 15, 2013, at 20:00 GMT/UTC.

The annual Consumer Electronics Show is in full swing in Las Vegas this week, and Sony is using Gran Turismo 5 to show off the capabilities of their upcoming $24,999 84” 4K Ultra HD TV.

Though you may no longer be able to watch Super GT races in Gran Turismo TV, you can still enjoy some of the series’ cars in Gran Turismo 5.

As 2013 kicks off, so too does the special competition available to owners of Gran Turismo 5: Academy Edition.
