Top Gear to provide content for download on Gran Turismo TV |
Ó
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and Polyphony Digital have teamed up with BBC Worldwide to bring 40 episodes of BBC's Top Gear to the PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo TV (GT TV). It was also announced that the Top Gear Test Track, where the Top Gear team tests new cars every week, will be one of the playable tracks in the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 video game for the PS3.In case you aren't familiar with GT TV, it is a dedicated online channel on the PlayStation Network which is said to provide viewers up-to-date information about motoring. President of Polyphony Digital and creator of the Gran Turismo series Kazunori Yamauchi was very thrilled that episodes of Top Gear will be shown on the online channel. In a recent press release, he said:
We at Polyphony are great fans of the worldÂ’s best motoring programme, Top Gear, so weÂ’re delighted to be collaborating with BBC Worldwide to deliver Top Gear content via Gran Turismo. WeÂ’re sure that players will be as thrilled as we are when they get the chance to put their own driving skills to the test on the Top Gear Test Track in GT5, as well as enjoying classic episodes of Top Gear via GT TV.
BBC Worldwide's Director for Digital Media Simon Danker shares the same enthusiasm as he stated:
BBC Top Gear is the worldÂ’s number one motoring media brand and weÂ’re thrilled to make it accessible to Gran Turismo gamers. We continue to explore different avenues to share our content with an expanding audience, and are delighted to participate with Polyphony Digital in the launch of this exciting new opportunity.
With Polyphony Digital and BBC Worldwide partnering up, it appears the real winners here are the Gran Turismo 5 community who will be getting more content for GT TV. We can expect both this service and Gran Turismo 5 by next year, so racing fans might want to watch out for that.
