Sony ha in cantiere una nuova edizione "inscatolata" di Gran Turismo 5 con il sottotitolo Spec II, a indicare la presenza delle modifiche aggiunte nella patch 2.0 e nel primo DLC, della quale potete ammirare la nuova confezione qui a lato. Per ora, l'annuncio riguarda il solo Giappone (dove uscirà a febbraio) ma Polyphony (e Yamauchi via Twitter) ha già fatto sapere che ci saranno importanti novità attorno a Natale insieme a un'altra patch più piccola.

Grazie a vari negozi online che ne permettono già il pre-ordine e senza attendere comunicati stampa "ufficiali", veniamo a scoprire i primi interessanti dettagli su quello che sarà il nuovissimo Test Drive: Ferrari Legends. Il gioco, che sarà pubblicato dalla Atari a metà febbraio 2012, ci offrirà ben 36 circuiti ed addirittura 52 modeli di Ferrari diverse, dalle più storiche a quelle più moderne.

Details:

• Multiple Racing Types - Experience a variety of race type challenges including Rally, GT, and Formula 1
  
• Extensive Online Competition - Race in online competitions with up to 8 player multi-integration
  
• 36 Circuits, Including Variations - Drive your way through 36 circuits including GP Circuits, Test Circuits, and Bonus Circuits

La open beta sarà pubblicata principalmente per i modders, così che possano dare feedback ad ISI sul sistema di rF2, che è differente rispetto a quello di rFactor.

L'augurio è quindi che i modders si mettano subito all'opera, sia per aiutare ISI nel mettere a punto il sistema di modding, sia per iniziare a pubblicare i primi lavori di conversione. Chiaramente nessuno può garantire i rilasci, ma insomma qualche conversione potremmo vederla già nel periodo di beta testing.....
