Gran Turismo 5 - Online Features - Image 1


Indeed, details about Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo 5 are many and varied, from confirmed cars to GT-TV features, and other general tidbits to make the racers go ga-ga. One of the functions that a lot of you might be waiting to try out is GT5's online mode.

Today we have a picture from the Gran Turismo Korea website, showing a list of features that PS3-exclusive GT5 will support online. Now some of these have been confirmed before (e.g. Voice Chat, Photo Album, etc.), but to see them all in summary, here's what we can expect.

Some of them are self-explanatory and can lead you to draw your own substantial assumptions. However, some other features* leave us scratching our heads. Google translations don't help either, so hopefully someone out there can help us all out. Just click on the screenshot above to get a more readable view.

*Just in case you were wondering, B-Spec racing is a feature implemented back in GT4. As Yang 2nd kindly points out in the comments section, "B-Spec mode is coaching mode. You set up the car then give orders on how the AI driver is to drive and when to overtake or pit."

Thanks Yang 2nd!

B-Spec mode is coaching mode. You set up the car then give orders on how the AI driver is to drive and when to overtake or pit.

 » Thx ^^
I've been a GT fan since the original. I still play GT4 like mad and overuse the B-Spec mode alot since my work schedule wont allow me good playing time. I'm playing the GT5 Prologue demo now and really like how they keep updating it regularly. If this is whats to be expected from GT5 Prologue, i hope we all get it and not be left out like the other GT prologues.

I hope they allow team racing like in the Super GT series. Like mutiple drivers takes turns in endurance races. It would make 24 hrs races easier and more fun with friends, plus help build a strong team. That would be good for online playing.
