Perhaps lost in the recent microtransaction controversy is the fact that Gran Turismo 6 will indeed arrive on PlayStation 3 tomorrow. Sony has posted the game's opening video and also announced a few Red Bull cars that give you wings. (Note: These are metaphorical wings. The idea of winged flying cars would just be silly.)

Polyphony president Kazunori Yamauchi revealed (via PlayStation.Blog) the Red Bull X2014 Fan car (X2014/F), the Red Bull X2014 Standard car (X2014/S), and the Red Bull X2014 Junior car (X2014/J) at a launch event earlier this week in Spain. How and when exactly they'll arrive in GT6 is unclear for now.

As you wait to start your engines, check out the full opening video below.

Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?

  Forza has TOP GEAR and GT6 has Red Bull.... with wings. Interesting focus groups they both have.

    That Red Bull is a big player in racing and Top Gear is a show about racing cars?

    The TOP GEAR stuff fits really well into the Forza world with how they integrated it. They talk about cars. Forza is a game about experiencing cars. Those guys know cars, so it seems logical to merge those two forms of media together and make a whole new experience for people who love cars.
    
    Red Bull is a huge sponsor in auto racing, so this seems like the next best thing GT could try to corner to differentiate from Forza. Forza's community, however, typically has the Red Bull liveries for cars that typically carry a Red Bull sponsorship, so it's an easy way to get around any contractual dealings with Red Bull proper.

  GT5 had Top Gear and they managed to waste it. The test track races were all frustrating shitfests that punished you for going an inch off the track.

  I really wish this was coming out as a GT6+ on the PS4 at the same time. I haven't played a GT game since 3.

    That's good, because there hasn't been a good GT game since 3, which was the best one. Forza has clearly taken lead on this genre, but fuck those micro-transactions.

      Yeah, I've really enjoyed the Forza series, I'm going to miss it until I end up with a Xbox One again (which might be a while). If Forza is going downhill though... maybe it's time for a new racing champion to enter the ring? It's a new generation, maybe we need a new semi-sim racing series!?

        I just wish they would simply release it on PC already.
        
        they showed the game at E3 running on a high end PC with a GTX video card. Why on earth wouldn't they want more revenue.
        I swear i would buy windows 8.1 or whatever they want if i could buy this on PC and play it with my current peripherals.
