Japan is getting a free taste of
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue tomorrow. A demo version of
Prologue will be available on the Japanese PSN until November 11th. (The
full version of
Prologue will retail for about $43.) Included in the demo are seven playable cars:
- Lexus IS-F
- Nissan GT-R
- Mazda Atenza
- Subaru Impreza WRX STI
- Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR
- Daihatsu OFC-1
- BMW 135i Coupe
Also, in coordination with the Tokyo Motor Show, new cars will be unveiled in the game from October 23rd to the 25th. However, there will only be one track featured in the demo: Suzuka. No online play will be included with the demo, but single player will have you competing against 15 other racers, making for a less solitary experience than last year's
Gran Turismo HD.
[Thanks,
Rocket Punch!]

Interesting line-up since half of them arent out yet.. its almost like those manufacteurs paid Sony to include them in the demo.. line a product placement.

Oh, I think that all of us like to know what's going on, but for the most part the beauty of video games is that unless you are playing an RPG language may not even matter.
Judging from other Japanese games I imagine that there will be a lot of english on the main menus.

What the hell would you need to read? It's a racing game. It's not like you will need to read any instructions. X is most likely go, O is most likely stop. And as Wonderflex said most Japanese games have English in them.
You should be grateful to play it no matter what language it's in.
