Eurogamer Leaks God of War, Gran Turismo Info - Then Pulls It

Thankfully, Gamasutra got to the Eurogamer links before stories about God of War 2, Gran Turismo 4 Online Edition and information about Killzone PSP were replaced with the following: “The information that previously appeared here has been removed under the threat of legal action from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.”

The stories allegedly came from “leaked marketing documentation” and indicated that Kratos is back and God of War 2 will be released stateside in February 2007 for the PlayStation 2 with a European release soon to follow. According to the documents, Gran Turismo 4 Online Edition will be released in the second quarter of this year and feature six player online play, worldwide rankings and replay upload options. The usual fleet of cars will be there, this time around 700 vehicles with 50 tracks to race on. We mentioned the Killzone details earlier this morning.

Thanks, Superatt

no, it's about the same spec as GT4... ~650-700 cars, 50 tracks.

btw supposedly Sony threatened to take legal action against Eurogamer if they didn't take the news of GT4 Online down.. that's a good sign that its actually going to happen.

It's also possible that Sony might (secretly) be using GT4 Online as a test-bed for their online service....

If this is true, then we can start our GT4 Online Race Series. I hope they can increase the numbers of player online though.

It won't be over 6p online. Not on PS2 at least.

Have we ever had a Time Trial with over 6 competitors?
