IGN were recently able to gather new details on the demo game Gran Turismo HD, or should I say, Gran Turismo HD Concept, a suffix which it seems to have received for no reason, from the latest issue of Famitsu.
Gran Turismo HD Concept, will ship with one course and ten cars. The course being Eiger Nordwand, and you'll be able to race it normal and reverse. A full list of vehicles is below:
The magazine also contains an interview with Kazunori Yamauchi, in which the series producer talked about how the demo came about, and what we can expect from Polyphony Digital.
Yamauchi said that is was the huge number gamers expressing their desire for the full game that made them put out a demo, and concentrate on GT5. He specifically mentioned overseas gamers, meaning any non-Japanese communities, so we can assume this includes all the popular GT forums on the Internet.
Another comment made by Yamauchi explained that they haven't decided whether to keep the idea of downloadable content in GT5, of course we can expect content of some kind, but most of us aren't wanting to download all the cars and tracks.
Yamauchi revealed that the Christmas Eve download will include Polyphony's next generation driving simulation engine. The new engine is supposed to have fixed problems such as drift control and drift angle. As previously announced, the demo won't have online races, but it will offer network rankings separated according to the various cars. Replays from the top ranked players will be available for download, so you can see how the best of the best race. Yamauchi also promised a photo mode of some form to become available for download in the future.
