Upcoming sim racing game Gran Turismo 6 from developer Polyphony Digital and publisher Sony Computer Entertainment has revealed new details about its GPS Logger feature.
The GPS Logger is a new feature that is being introduced into the game. In order to work, this feature will make use of the GPS function in a phone or a tablet to create tracks that will be based on their daily commutes in the Course Maker of the game.
"Drivers will be able to record real GPS data from their own car and then recreate the route as a track in the game. The 'GPS Visualizer' also utilises GPS coordinate data from a real car on the real-life versions of the GT6 circuits. The data can then be imported into GT6 to create a 'virtual' replay image of your laps in the game," Sony said in a statement.
Players will be access to the Course Makers only after the launch of Gran Turismo 6 on 6 December. It will be a PlayStation 3 exclusive.
The game will feature more than 1200 cars with 100 track layouts, it will also introduce some new circuits like Mount Panorama, Ascari, Silverstone and Goodwood into the game, CVG reported.
The game will also have astronomical simulation system where players will be able to enjoy the night racing scene too. "On night tracks you can enjoy a simulated night sky with accurate positions of the stars and constellations. You can watch the passage of time, with the moon and stars moving across the night sky as you would see in real life," said the official Gran Turismo 6 website.
