New GT5 Video (Maybe) on Spike TV Tonight

The official PlayStation Blog is hyping up a broadcast of Spike TV’s hour-long E3 preview special, which they claim will show off “video debuts of Killzone 3, SOCOM 4, and Gran Turismo 5.” With Sony’s big prime-time press conference now a mere 4 days away, I’m highly suspicious that Polyphony Digital would use such a comparatively low-profile event to show off anything new about the game, but you never know.

The show starts at 11:00 PM Eastern Standard Time tonight (Friday, June 11th, 2010) on the American television network Spike TV. If you don’t get the channel or can’t watch the show, don’t worry – I’ll be recording it and will immediately share any new material here on the blog. If we only get some recycled video clips from old trailers and a bunch of hype, I will update this post accordingly so you can be sure you didn’t miss anything – but let’s hope for the best! Thanks to all who sent this in so quickly.

    Pretty short trailer…. id imagine this is an edit of the official e3 trailer with clips sony would only allow… to not spoil anything for e3 reveal. if im honest i only really expected a few glimpses of tracks. but still very nice.

    i just hope for day/night cycles. rain. and an updated look a damage… specifically to interiors of premium vehicles. id imagine there’d have to be a reveal of more of the features as well. more specific figures… ive noticed… from the 1000… it now says 950+

    first, the women hosting the show need shorter skirts. I want to see a bellybutton next time! Yeesh! XD

    second, they had some nice new shots but way too many recycled shots. Seeing that exact same clip of the blue car getting wrecked is rather disappointing.

    third, I hope & pray that lens/sun flare is NOT present in the game when I’m driving the cars. Nothing annoys me more than developers going lens flare crazy. It’s so 90’s and sooo annoying. NFS: Shift has one of the worst most distracting lens flare effects ever! It’s supposed to be me driving a car using normal human eyes, not me driving a car with a camera lens strapped to my head!! NO LENS FLARES!!

    Cheers for the YouTube link, can view it on my iPod. I was led to believe there’d be something more than two seconds long about rally in that xD Oh well, E3 here we come…

  4. gtone339

    Nothing much new, the trailer only shows some new clips of Rome circuit, Tuscanny?, reused night trailers, new clips of nascar – nothing new.

  5. dreadlockdragon

    aww man they just took bits & pieces of the old trailers 2 make a new 1 :/ well their was some new footage but not much
    c’mon E3

  6. oscartron

    a few new shots of the LP560 as well and some new super gt shots at some new race track (was it the rome one?) but pretty weak

  7. Jake

    Yeah, hardly ‘world exclusive’ content. Ah well, it did hint that it was actually coming out! :o lol.

  8. Lil Ape

    I’m gonna laugh pretty hard if GT5 doesn’t get a release date at E3 and if microsoft announces forza 4 the same day. The “new” GT5 trailer was nothing special.

  9. BanditRa101801

    well, not the worse re-usage of old footage, but the new clips of Rome looked great. BTW, Marisa, bikes = Tourist Trophy….cars = Gran Turismo.

    Te trailer was looking nice, but, yes – very short, and I have a weird feeling I have seen the screen-shots from it before already…

  11. r1racer

    same ol same ol, they may as well have not shown it, although i guess it may be preparation for the E3 announcement

  12. baubry

    very little of the trailer was new material. a few new shots of WRC, but nothing else that I could spot. Just looked like other trailers edited together. :/

  13. baubry

    Not a promising start. They named 4 big games, (Killzone 3, Fallout, Dead Space, and SOCOM I think), and flashed a video saying “many more”. I doubt GT5 will have its own segment. I’ll be watching anyway.

  14. Shokz

    Lachlan1662 – Jordan corrected it before you saw it, it clearly used to say KillZone 3 judging from the comments.

    G – I’m with you on going out and kicking some British trees at 3am ;D

  15. terminator363

    I don’t have spike make sure you guys can give us (the people without spike) the video after!?

  16. Lachlan1662

    @noname he wrote ‘killzone3 why dont u read it next time.

    @John Marine u serious?! Wrestling! lmao! lol

    @GT_Prologue correction america has a tv show, who cares you dont have GT acadimy i know which one id rather : p

  17. G

    This blows… being in the UK sucks the big one, crap weather, crap people, crap tv… when will it end! if anyone knows where us Brits can catch the programme online let us know… or if one of you fantastic Americans could record and post it up here like instantly the world would thank you! I’m off to kick some British trees and walls in anger!

  18. RacingFreak

    Hey at least Jordan didn’t spell Gran Turismo “Grand Tourismo” :)

    I’ll definitely be tuning in!!! What a weekend this should be.

  19. Azzer10

    Hope we do see a new trailer, can’t WAIT for E3!!
    Just bought GT PSP collectors edition to get ready for GT5.
    I think GT5 seriously has to be my most antisipated game of all time!!!

  20. Jake

    Thanks for the news. Just set it to record! Even if it doesn’t appear on the show, it will be nice to have a little something to feed my craving for E3 news I guess =p.

    With the way Sony has pushed PD to add extra features such as Move support and 3D, I’m not sure they can afford to not have GT5 as one of the focal points of their conference. Hopefully that’s good news for us!

  21. brandon

    I think it is a ploy by SONY because last year all of their info was leaked before E3. Maybe they are just feeding just enough to keep people from getting too hungry and spoiling their show this year like they did last year. I think there will be plenty to surprise us this year…

  22. tvvisted

    Ah F1, 24hrs, Worldcup and now this and E3 round the corner. Why couldnt this be spread out better. Looking forward to the update thanks!

  23. John Marine

    I usually have no reason to watch Spike TV unless for TNA Wrestling. Having said this, I will try to remember to tune into Spike to see if we do get some new video of GT5. I’m more hopeful of seeing some quality material at E3 next week for Gran Turismo 5. I’ll CERTAINLY blog my ideas about this deal if we get some new footage! :)

  24. Drogahnus

    Umm…Sony does realize they have an E3 conference in a few days? Everything’s been announced…KZ3, R3, Motorstorm Apocalypse, inFamous 2, LBP2. Guess they’re only going to talk about Move and 3D the whole time. Hopefully a GT5 release date too, but E3 is looking pretty bad for Sony.

  25. Denz

    I have to get my rest so I can watch the full 24 hours of le mans followed by Germany vs. Australia. It’s gonna be a long, but exciting weekend!!!
