Today, Sony has announced a significant price drop on the fast-selling PS4 and its numerous bundles, both existing and upcoming, in Canada and the US. These prices will go into effect tomorrow, October 9, just in time for the Thanksgiving weekend for those of us located in the Great White North.

Unless your current address is under a considerable land mass, you’re likely to be aware of a certain long-awaited feature recently finding its way into Gran Turismo 6. That’s right, the Track Path… Importer. Rather controversially, the Editor itself is not present in-game, with Polyphony instead deciding to let users build their tracks separate from the game on a dedicated app.

Today, for XBox One players in North America and Australia, the wait is over – Forza Motorsport 6 is on store shelves. Japan and Europe must wait until the 17th and 18th respectively, while those racers that sprung for the digital Ultimate Edition have been enjoying the game since last Thursday (see GTPlanet’s review here).

Forza 6 reminds me of a 10 year old game. There, I’ve said it.

Forza Motorsport 6 releases this Thursday the 10th for early-access players, and next week for the remainder of the globe. GTPlanet has early access to the full version of the game, and now that reviews are popping up online, we can start showing you some of the different aspects of the game.

Turn 10’s Forza Motorsport 6 has picked up another series, in addition to the entire Formula E grid that was announced at the beginning of summer: the ever-popular V8 Supercar series from Australia. Today, straight from the official series website, the ten cars that will be present in the game come launch day were detailed, with cars from each of the five current manufacturers. With Mount Panorama returning from Forza 5, players will be able to live out the series in ways that haven’t been possible before on a console racer.

Need For Speed is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year with a new game, shorn of any sub-titles. At Gamescom, it’s announced the inclusion of five real-life auto enthusiasts, each with a different approach to car culture. These Icons, as they’re known, represent the five different approaches players can take at any point in the game.
