We’re still waiting on a release date (and a review copy, like everyone else) but in the meantime, it looks like certain Czech auctions have been real after all – here’s one lucky chap who appears to be playing the game right now.
At the time of publication we’ve heard little about the game other than he’s confirmed he’s playing it. Although, we assume it wouldn’t be impossible to fake and we would expect some sort of status on the XMB like “running 3rd at Laguna Seca” or “Tuning Set up”. It’s possible that this is a convoluted hoax but on face value it looks plausible.
We’re hoping for a Trophy list and some concrete details on a tracklist soon, and when we get it we’ll update and let you know.
Update: Another video has surfaced from the guy in question, lending further credence to this story:

It won’t be long till it’s released… at least compared to the time we’ve waited so far.
Is there any good reason for not releasing the trophy list now? If there are things they want to hide until release they could list some as secret.

Dubious. Trophy compare at least, or just show the disk and picture under the game section on the xmb.

The guy in the video does not have the game. One of his friends has it. Trophy compare wont happen until the guy with the games syncs.

Sigh………….more titbits, but still no release date :(

Any Czech speakers out there?
Just wondering what his PSN comment meant.
The closest I can get is if you add an accent over the ‘z’ (necumte jak želvy). Google says this means ‘necumte as turtles’. :S
What the hell does ‘necumte’ mean? :D
acridweasel
Obviously the asterisks represent a ‘u’.
Silly mono-lingual filter…

It means rescue the turtles*
So GT5 has a turtle rescuing mission, so that rumour I heard about it starring Splinter may be true after all
*May not actually be true
M1chl
Its actually means “Don’t stare like turtles”. He also realeased the gameplay:

I’ve just added him on PSN, no GT5 trophies when I compared. I’ve sent him a message asking if he’s got GT5, and can he sync the trophies. I’ll check back in a few hours.

OK superthief! You win!

Second video looks quite convincing. Picked an MX-5 as his start car, what a cliché!
Shame to see he’s racing against an old punto and a 106. Although nice to have them almost confirmed for the game. They weren’t lying when they said they took cars from GT4 and improved all the modelling. Hopefully there’s more new cars than just sports/super/concept cars. Like… new normal cars…

Agreed, but I don’t know if it’s just me, but if I was the guy with the game, surely a better proof is filming putting the disc in, the loading screens, then playing a race?
Blayney
Yup! That’s what I want.
Still, it’s a new track, that looks like one which is meant to be in the game, but they haven’t shown yet. New cars which were sort of expected but not shown. It’s got skidmarks etc. which were in the recent demos…
Either it’s real, or a really good fake!

Amar212 is apparently talking on neogaf, something may be announced today/tomorrow, but it’s not “that big”, and that apparently “the events of saturday/sunday will not help”. Typically difficult to read into that. trying to find where this was said now.

appears to be info regarding Review copies

potential trophy list.

ignore this

Reverse lights! Tyre tracks! More cars! But decent damage? Too small to see. Though what makes it all the more genuine are all the messages he keeps receiving, every one of them most likely saying “You lucky ****”.
