The trailer showcases gameplay footage, and the look of the experience seems to go another notch higher than before. From the smoke from screeching tires to the foliage that are growing alongside the tracks, it feels like watching an actual race unfolding,

Additionally, fans are given a glimpse of the locations that will be included in “Gran Turismo Sport,” such as Florence and Japan. Each location has different areas for racing. For instance, the locations in Japan include Kaminarimon, the view of Mt. Fuji from Saiko Lake, Itsukushima Shrine Grounds, the Plaza in front of the Imperial Palace during the winter, the Kintai Bridge, Shibuya and Akihabara.

Of course, the trailer will not be complete without a look at the cars. There are customization options available to personalise the look of each car. The scenes also make for some astounding pictures, which are perfect for Photo Mode shots.

“Gran Turismo Sport” will launch on Nov. 15 in the U.S. and Asia, Nov. 16 in Europe and Nov. 18 in the U.K.. In the meantime, if the trailer is not enough to whet the racer appetite, DualShockers features the livestream footage that shows off more gameplay.
