Tuesday, 1300h, Ascari Race Resort
For a keen Gran Turismo fan, to have some time to fire questions at Kazunori Yamauchi was a huge privilege. Despite the limitations of the round table format and he language barrier, it was an enlightening 20 minutes or so.
Yamauchi is a huge Ayrton Senna fan, hence the rolling out of themed content to follow in GT6. He spoke of how Senna's legacy should be introduced to a new generation of gamers, and how he shouldn't be 'half forgotten like Jim Clark'. One of Senna's cars is apparently here too...
Perhaps unsurprisingly as it's on the cover, Yamauchi's favourite car in GT6 is the Corvette Stingray. Unfortunately we can't drive it to discover why though!
The lunar buggy was discussed also. Kazunori has already mentioned at length the detail to which the moon, stars and planets have been rendered; all very admirable, but is it really what GT gamers want?
He spoke about much more but there's other stuff to do now! More driving, the hot laps and perhaps even a chance to play the game...
