Gran Turismo 5 Prologue producer reveals online features

The latest Famitsu magazine (via 1UP) features an interview with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue producer Kazunori Yamauchi where he discussed the upcoming racer's online aspect.

Prologue will feature integration with PlayStation Home, where you can reach the top menu of the game from inside Home (and vice versa, you can reach Home through Prologue). Each player will have a page that loads with background imagery. Yamauchi plans to also include a friends list here and a weather feature so that "other players will know which geographic location you are in and how the weather is there."

No downloadable cars or courses will be made available. Yamauchi plans for 40 cars and four courses with eight different layouts to make it to the final game. Save data from Prologue can be carried over later to the non-prologue Gran Turismo 5 for use. Sixteen-car races are being planned for offline mode, but that number may drop to 12 for online play.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue is due out in Japan this October.
