The search for the next generation of GT Academy champions begins today! This year’s competition will be bigger than ever before, open to players in more than 15 countries in four different regions:
* Europe: o Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg o France o Italy o Spain and Portugal o Switzerland o Austria and Poland o UK and Ireland * The United States of America * Russia * Germany
A champion will be crowned from each region, with each getting the chance to drive for Nissan in the 2013 Dubai 24 Hours. Players in other countries will likely be able to download and play the demo, but will not be eligible for the competition’s main prize. As of writing, however, no official confirmation (other than special prizes for Japanese gamers) of this has been announced by Sony.
As previously announced, GT Academy 2012 will be available on the PlayStation 3 as a free, downloadable mini-game via the PlayStation Store. The game will consist of eight consecutive time trial events over the next eight weeks. It’s now available to download in the PlayStation Store (search for “Academy” to find it) as a 3GB file.
GTPlanet’s new GT Academy 2012 Forum has also just been launched, and is available as a free resource and discussion platform to all competitors from around the world. Good luck, everyone!
Meanwhile, European Brand manager Penrose Tackie has included the following information on the PS Blog:
Here’s how everything works – the exclusive Gran Turismo content will be available to download from PlayStation Store, free of charge, from 17.00BST / 18.00CEST on May 1 until 23.59BST / 00.59CEST on 24 June. You can download and take part at any time during this period, so even if you miss the start you can still play catch up and get involved.
Once you have downloaded the content, Polyphony Digital will release new rounds approximately every two weeks; in total there are eight rounds and within each round there are five sections.
Here’s a list of the rounds and when they will be available:
First up we have Roxanne off "Outlandos d' Amour" a song also commonly known as "that turn on the red light song" next up for fans of Guitar Hero II and songs where "I'll send a SOS," is repeated over and over again it's the mega hit Message In A Bottle off Reggatta de Blanc, and to wrap it up their 1983 epic Synchronicity II which also appeared on Guitar Hero: Rocks The 80s.
HOLY SHIT! I think Black Ops 2 will be the 2nd best or the best game of the COD franchise. If what I read is true, then the story is going to kick some serious ass. Now I'm excited :O
