Connected Consoles - PS3 : Yamauchi on GT5 DLC

DLC is a big part of the games industry these days, with the most popular games bringing out new content via the consoles online network. It is expected that one of 2010's biggest games, Gran Turismo 5 will get some form of add-on content. Though when asked about DLC, Polyphony Digital President Kazunori Yamauchi didn't seem too impressed in an interview in the December issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine (Issue 038);

"Let me be clear on this. There is a massive amount of content in this game, I don't think there are many teams that can put as much into a game as we can." he said. "The launch of the game isn't a start, we are releasing the full game"

"Everything we want to put in the game is on the disc when it ships," he continued. "Having said that, we do have a sizable online team that will look after it once it's launched"

Gran Turismo 5 is due for release in March 2010 in Japan and will be available exclusively on the PlayStation 3. A western release date is still to be decided.
