Gran Turismo 5 is jam packed full of gameplay features, one of which is the ‘B-Spec’ mode. This mode allows players to manage a race from the virtual sidelines, instead of being in the virtual driver’s seat.
The B-Spec mode is a serious racing sim enthusiast feature, as it can take a long time for a race to progress, a fact MyGaming learned during our time reviewing the game.
B-Spec mode works by allowing players to issue commands to their team’s driver, such as ‘overtake’ and ‘make a pit stop.’ Whilst it may be fun to watch the results of one’s commands, it can also become tedious as the race procession inexorably continues.
Polyphony Digital’s head honcho and Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has indicated via Twitter that they are planning to implement a feature that will allow players to interact with their in-progress B-Spec races (taking place on their PS3) from a web browser. The feature should arrive early next year.
This actually sounds like a really clever idea. Those who wish to progress in the B-Spec mode will have the freedom to perform other tasks on their computers in-between issuing game commands. Presumably, one could even go mobile, should mobile device web browsers be capable of supporting the feature.
