Sony PlayStation India’s PR arm announced the partnership with Mercedes-Benz to promote the upcoming Gran Turismo 6 for the PlayStation 3.
The promotion comes in the form of a GT5 online racing challenge at the PlayStation kiosks in retail chains across India, such as Reliance, Landmark, Croma, Jumbo. Gaming related retailers Zinklo, Game 4U and Gamineazy will also be be participating. Games retailer Games – The Shop is not participating. The tournament will run till December 1st, 2013.
Two finalists of the competition will get to compete with each other in a game of Gran Turismo 6, during the titles launch in Mumbai on December 6th, 2013. Sony PlayStation India boss Atindriya Bose commented on the partnership, “The partnership with Mercedes-Benz allows us to offer a combination of the virtual and real life experience of driving one’s dream car. Gran Turismo 6 focuses on the high-end simulated driving experience. The GT6 branded Mercedes-Benz car is an opportunity to relive the experience in real life as well.“
Game Turismo 6, a highly awaited game and amongst the most celebrated PlayStation exclusives, is developed by PolyPhony Digital and is renowned as the most realistic driving simulation.
Now, that probably explains why the game is littered with bugs and has ugly graphics most of the time.
