Gamescom 2010 – Best of Show: Gran Turismo 5

Posted by: 8/23/2010


You were probably wondering just how many times I can bring up Gran Turismo 5 in a justifiable manner. Well, here is one more post made up Gran Turismo 5 news. I am going to type it one more time: Gran Turismo 5.

In all seriousness, GT5 was present at Gamescom over in Germany this past week and while Polyphony was over in Europe they announced some new features such as a (semi) track editor, the inclusion of carts and more details regarding the A-Spec and RPG style B-Spec mode Yamauchi loves so much. Apparently that was enough for the six person committee to vote the game ‘Best of Show’. Maybe the hype and years of waiting is somehow justified? European press seems to think so.

Sony had a very strong showing and also took the award for ‘Hardware Accessory’ with the Sony Playstation Move. Catch the full list of winners in all categories below.
