Sony's ThreeSpeech blog is hinting at upcoming downloads for the PlayStation Network release Gran Turismo HD. While simply announcing that a new video of the game will be hitting the PlayStation Store sometime soon, featuring the currently unplayable Nissan Xanavi Nismo Z, they write that we should also keep an eye on GranTurismoWorld.com for future announcements.

Pricing for upcoming releases on the PlayStation Network has been set, for the most part, for our friends in the UK. It's okay, guys, unlike other PLAYSTATOIN 3 pricing news, this really won't hurt that bad. Three titles will be available on launch day via the PlayStation Store, Blast Factor ( 3.49), Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection ( 6.99) and Gran Turismo HD (free!). More »

Today, Sony Japan stated that Gran Turismo HD wouldn't exist as a stand-alone game, but rather, as a free download. The game, now called Gran Turismo HD Concept will hit the PlayStation Store December 24th. The reason being? Many elements of it are already incorporated into Gran Turismo 5. When we visited Polyphonic Digital during TGS, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi said that GT HD connected GT4 and GTA5. His exact quote: More »

To be honest, I'm not the best person to ask about Gran Turismo. Even though I've been to Polyphony Digital, played Gran Turismo HD for hours, and like shiny, pretty things... this game just isn't for me. It's like work. And I already have a job. This latest batch of screens... I don't know. What do you guys think? Some of those cars look fugly. Some look great. I'm so conflicted! Michael McWhertor More »

Sexy, huh? Here's the PLAYSTATION TV. That's upper case for a PS3 demo kiosk, which will begin flooding Japan. Unlike the previous monolith, which only showed clips, this new version has demos, game videos, a photo slideshow and music. Players can select what they desire by toggling through the PS3's Cross Media Bar. Trial games include Devil May Cry 4, Power Smash 3, Gran Turismo HD and Ridge Racer 7. Sony plans to put 1,000 of these kiosks around Japan by the year's end—if anything, just to taught those unable to buy one. Brian Ashcraft More »

After Sony's dizzying E3 presser, we were given a chance to play Gran Turismo HD for the PS3. I quite enjoyed Gran Turismo 3 and was looking forward to some one-on-one with the game. I pushed my way through the crowd and tried out a GT motorcycle for the first time. I started the bike up, turned a corner and was dumped off. Another corner and was dumped off the bike. Wash, rinse, repeat. More »

Well, at least they are no longer flat people, and their flags move. There's that. Brian Crecente More »
]]> http://kotaku.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=202453&view=rss&microfeed=true Sony just dumped a ton of press releases and art for some of their titles on the official press site. The first I want to tackle is the Gran Turismo HD game, because of the 1Up article we linked to earlier today. The game will indeed have two modes, but both will be packaged in one game, not as two seperate skus. From the press release: More »

In a recent PR-type interview on Sony's Concept Site, Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi says the console will do "true" physics, making HD content is "on the same level as movies" and video games have "unusual potential" as they are the fastest and simplest way to produce hi-def content. Yamauchi states he wants to "change society" with his games. His most quotable quote? More »
