The veil of silence has finally been lifted; Gran Turismo Sport is emerging from the shadows at a special event to be held in downtown London, at the Copper Box Arena, next week on the 19th and 20th of May.

Well isn’t this interesting? To say things have been on the quiet side in relation to the anticipated Gran Turismo Sport would be an understatement. The upcoming entry in the franchise was first revealed late last year, and a public beta intending to preface the full-featured release was earmarked for an early/spring 2016 time table.

Talk about unfortunate circumstances. As you’ve gathered from the title, Kunos Simulazioni have announced on the official Assetto Corsa Facebook page that the title’s venture onto PlayStation 4 and Xbox One has once again fallen victim to a delay. While no longer releasing next month, the new targeted release dates are August 26th for Europe, and August 30th for North America.

Forza Motorsport 6: Apex, the cut-down, “curated” version of the expansive Xbox One title launched last year, is finally here in the form of an Open Beta and exclusive to the Windows 10 platform. The title, first announced more than two months ago, is free-to-play and offers an experience that is “designed for players who are new to the Forza franchise.”

To say things have been a little wild as of late would be to sell the entire scenario short by a considerable margin. Not only are things beginning to heat up with the heavily rumored and all-but-confirmed PlayStation 4K (or is it Neo?), now it may very well appear that Gran Turismo Sport is still on track for a 2016 release window, if a recent revelation is to be believed.

New seasonal events are now available in Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events are the usual fare, a combination of super lap and drift trial challenges featuring non-race cars and race cars alike, whether they’re from Britian or of the front-engine rear-wheel drive variety.

The emotional investment toward Assetto Corsa now that we’re just over a month away from the console release is almost palpable, and with good reason: console-goers have plenty to look forward as many of those currently enjoying the game on PC will surely attest.

Over the past month there have been whispers of a more powerful and better equipped upgrade to the PlayStation 4, commonly referred to as the PlayStation 4.5 or PlayStation 4K. Keeping up the momentum of the first two reports, yet another story has emerged, and the refreshed console may offer a little more promise than originally assumed.

As revealed late last week, the sonorous Mercedes-AMG GT3 joins Project CARS, further expanding the title’s impressive list of GT3 class racing machinery, and is available to everyone at no additional cost.

If you were an early adopter and have been enjoying the PlayStation 4 since launch or sometime shortly thereafter, chances are the contents of the 3.50 update won’t come as much of a surprise to you. For those sitting idly by waiting for the opportune moment to pounce on the purchase, even in wake of the controversial heavily-rumored “PS4K,” the first major firmware update of the year introduces a feature that’s sure to pique your interest: PC Remote Play.

With a little under two months to go until Assetto Corsa begins to make a name for itself on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, 505 Games and Kunos Simulazioni have released the latest trailer showcasing the game.

The next title update for Assetto Corsa has been a hot topic lately, and over the course of the week Kunos have delved into the finer details of what’s to be included in the anticipated update.

Last we talked, “Black Cat County” was under the microscope, the free-to-all picturesque location inspired by the American South. The location, spurred on by the feedback given by an automotive manufacturer with close ties to Kunos, allows players to experience the joys of driving in a natural, more relaxed fashion. An entirely new outlook of the game in comparison to the more focused-based track action the game primarily focuses on, no doubt.

You’ve heard the whispers by now, whispers of a more powerful and better equipped PlayStation 4 machine. Intended to handle higher-end gaming experiences and to serve as a better launchpad for Sony’s VR peripheral – the rumored “PlayStation 4.5” is just that machine, and it just might be closer than we all think.

Thrustmaster continues their vie for peripheral domination with their newest add-on, benefiting those with the company’s TH8A and TH8 RS shifter assemblies – the TH8 Sequential Knob.
