IGN has received (and translated) the latest issue of Famitsu magazine, which contains an interview with Kazunori Yamauchi of Gran Turismo fame, who delivers some information about the upcoming demo. Its one track will be called Eiger Nordwand, which among climbers is referred to as the "biggest, baddest north face in the Alps." This is the tarmac rally track we showed you pics of earlier this year twisting between quaint villas and snowy peaks.
Additionally, ten cars will be included, though surprisingly no bikes. The list is:
- Suzuki Cappuccino '95
- Mazda Eunos Roadster '89
- Honda Integra Type R'04
- Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV GSR'96
- Infinity G35 Coupe
- Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR'05
- Lotus Elise 111R'04
- Nissan Sky Liner GT-R V Spec II '94
- Toyota Celica GT-FOUR Rally Car '95
- Ferrari 599'06
Kazunori also spoke about plans for Gran Turismo 5, unfortunately not giving a solid answer about whether the game will include the controversial pay-per-car scheme:
Yamauchi spoke vaguely on the relationship between GT5 and GTHD. While not getting into specifics, he stated that his team wants to put both GTHD Premium and GTHD Classic into the new title. Asked if Sony intends on carrying out its ambitious plans for downloadable content, Yamauchi stated that there has yet to be a decision on whether or not to carry the business model over.
The biggest question is, of course, when will non-Japanese PS3 gamers get their hands on the demo, releasing at home on December 24? An American release has not been confirmed, but don't be surprised if there's a little bonus waiting in the Playstation Store for us, too, before Christmas.
