Some exciting news for all of you planning to pick up Gran Turismo 5 now, as it has just been confirmed by Polyphony Digital that Head-Tracking via the PS Eye will be one of the main features in in the game.
As reported from Eurogamer, Kazunori Yamauchi confirmed the news himself, so we can definately say this feature will be a reality come release.
The way it will work is that the head-tracking feature will be restricted to the in-cockpit view within the game. The PS Eye hardware will then scan the position of your head and will adjust what you see in-game accordingly.
What this then means is that, you’ll be able to ‘turn around’ and look at your rear mirror, or look downwards to make your in-game character switch gears. It is all interesting and exciting stuff, which is best described by checking out the video we have included below.
What are your thoughts on head-tracking for GT5? More details over at Eurogamer.

May be a daft comment, but if I turn around I won’t be able to see the TV screen. What use is that to me?
Are we now going the way of surround view TVs’. a 7.1 system would make an awful mess of my living room.
