Now I have a reason to buy a Logitech Wheel. We know that Silverstone and Mount Panorama are already on the game, lets hope that Yas Marina and the real Monte Carlo make it too.

Let's hope "multi device functionality" includes Vita at some point.

2 GT's for every generation of consoles since PS1. Polyphony's consistent, you have to give them that.

Good news. Don't know if I will be playing my PS3 very much during that time, but better late than never I guess.

Given this is probably released after the PS4 and their plans for a stream of DLC I wonder when they originally intended to release it. Surely this wasn't their planned launch window.

I wonder if that means a PS4 GT is years away too.

Oh shucks for the PS3?! And here I thought I was moving to next gen.

Will the AI ever evolve? Too bad there was no mention of it.

Hopefully they mean 1200 cars. Not 200 "Premium Cars" and 1000 choppy-graphic POS cars

I wonder if there is some concern as to the willingness of current PS3 owners to pony up for the new PS4?

You have to give PD some credit, on the Audi car, just like in real life the guys name is misspelled. They go above and beyond sometimes.
