Sega has released a brand new trailer of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing today. The new video reveals that the game will have twenty four different tracks and shows the Crazy Taxi car in action for the first time. There’s also a reminder that the Sumo Digital developed game will be arriving next month.
Sony has announced that it is delaying the release of Gran Turismo 5 – but only in Japan. The game was originally scheduled to be released there in March, and now moves back to the familiar territory of not having a release date at all.
The company has told Eurogamer that the delay is only applicable to Japan, but that’s more likely because the game has never had a European or North American release date since it was first announced.
Turn 10 has revealed that Autoweek will be lending its name to the next wave of Forza Motorsport 3 DLC, which is due to be released on January 12th. Once again the contents are cars only, but there seems to be a nice variety of vehicles on offer:
2010 Aston Martin One-77
2009 Audi R8 LMS
2009 Audi RS 6
2010 BMW Motorsport M6 Coupe
2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
2010 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500
2010 Saleen S5S Raptor
2009 Lotus 2-Eleven
2010 Pagani Zonda R
2010 Porsche Boxster S
The pack will sell for 400 Microsoft Points, and a few images of the new content have been released:
Sony appears to be sticking to its word that Gran Turismo 5 will finally arrive this year, today supplying the game’s boxart for all to see. Like a lot of people, they’re betting that the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG will be the most significant car of this year and have decided that a partial wireframe image of it is the best way to sell their game.
There are also a bunch of new images of the vehicle in-game to view today:
Just as Xbox 360 players will be able to race as their avatar in Sonic and Sega All-Stars Racing, those who buy the Wii version will get the chance to race as their Mii. The “All-Star” move is the same as was shown last month, and involves a bunch of friends coming to your rescue and lifting the car off the track. New images below:
