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.
