Gran Turismo 6 officially announced [w/ video]

As reported yesterday, Sony has officially announced the sixth installment of their highly-acclaimed Gran Turismo series which will go on sale starting at the end of this year.

The good news is that Gran Turismo 6 will be available for PS3, so gamers won’t have to wait for the upcoming PS4 to come out. A total of 1200 cars and 33 distinct locations will available; that, in addition to downloadable packs (DLCs) which increase the number of vehicles and tracks/locations.

The developers addressed the extra-long load times which plagued the previous title; they also introduced a sleeker new user interface.
