Sony, Polyphony Digital Face Italian Legal Threats








The new karting track revealed in the latest GT5 demo shown off at Gamescom 2010 is now causing problems for Polyphony Digital and Sony Computer Entertainment. The track, named Piazza del Campo after the famous city square in Siena, Italy, hosts a world-renowned horse race twice a year known as the Palio di Siena (you may remember it in Quantum of Solace - ironically a Sony movie). Unfortunately, though, in Polyphony’s digital recreation of the location, they’ve (gasp!) used flags of the local contrada without permission. As reported by Corriere Fiorentino, the city is none too happy about it, and is threatening to take legal action against Sony to prevent sale and distribution of the game in Italy.







While other sites are publishing headlines suggesting this legal scuffle could cause the delay of the game, I don’t see any need for alarm. This is clearly a money-grab for Siena officials, but even if Sony isn’t willing to pay, it seems their demands could be easily worked around by replacing the flags with something less “offensive” and/or re-naming the track (there has to be a reason GT4’s rendition of the Monaco F1 circuit is known as “Cote d’Azur”).

Siena should be careful, though – a little free advertising in a game that will sell millions of copies around the world might not be a bad thing…​

The playable GT5 demo which was first spotted last night at a Best Buy in Oregon has now been confirmed by multiple sources. GTPlanet reader Jeramy has also grabbed video of the new demo, walking us through all of the available cars, tracks, and features. Vermontster of the PS Forums has also shared his conversation with the Best Buy employees (thanks, calvins48), which you’ll see below. We do, indeed, owe a lot of thanks to Oldschool27 for his discovery! The demo should be coming to more (and hopefully all) Best Buy stores over the coming weeks. For now, if you’re in the Clackamas, Oregon area (outside of Portland), you can get an early taste of GT5 right now.

I had a lengthy conversation with the stores manager. He said Sony sent it to them and they just set it up. I think I may have really scared the guy. He left me to go search to see if he was under any gag order. He was not fond of the idea of hundreds of people comming in just to play a demo. I told him to stock up on steering wheels and enjoy the next 2 months. :)
I am down loading the 3 pictures I was able to take. The manager was very addament about not filming in his store. They are of the TT screen, the arcade screen and home screen.
The physics are going to be familiar to those who did the Indy time trials. They are a step up in difficulty for sure. The graphics are nothing short of spectacular. The demo was set up for controller use and the left stick didn’t work so I was forced into using the D-pad.
I’m not sure if my photo’s will be any better than Oldschool were. All I have are those 3 photo’s and a half an hour playing the demo as proof of its existance. I also met Oldschool at Bst Buy. He walked me through the demo then let me at it.

Gran Turismo 5 to be PlayStation 3’s Flagship Title





While speaking in an interview with MCV UK, Sony Worldwide Studios’ European VP, Michael Denny, confirmed GT’s importance to the company while defending the its lengthy development cycle:

“I think when you have got a game like Gran Turismo, which is THE PlayStation franchise, then you want the game to be absolutely right and to the highest quality.
“I think that now we’ve announced the date and we know this is a Gran Turismo year, it’s not only exciting for us at PlayStation company, but for PlayStation fans and consumers. And it’s going to be bigger and better than ever. From a worldwide studio perspective, our strategy is always to concentrate on the highest quality possible.
“We need exclusive games that differentiates our platform, Gran Turismo has always been our flagship title and I am sure it is going to be that again.”
