Well, we weren't expecting this. Old Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May took a detour to Amazon a few years ago, where they've been working on their own car show, The Grand Tour. Now, it seems there's a video game adaptation in development, imaginatively named The Grand Tour Game. Check out the announcement trailer above.
There's not a whole lot to say here really, as the video features the trio of hosts more than it does the actual game. What small glimpse we do get of gameplay footage looks rough, though it is pre-alpha footage. By the sound of it, the game will operate sort of like an interactive version of the TV show, featuring the cars and locations shown in the episodes. "The Grand Tour Game is the first and only playable TV show in which you get to play the actual scenes you’ve seen on screen. If they drive a cool car, you can too. If they go to an amazing location, you can too. Buy a Season Pass for The Grand Tour Game and every Friday during Season 3 when a new episode of the show arrives, you’ll get new vehicles and new tracks from that episode to play in the game."
Interesting. Is this a bombshell, or a terrible disappointment? Rev your engines in the comments below.

Good grief. They should have called it Old Farts in Fast Cars.
this is just stupid.
this is just an add for season 3 that people have to pay for.
Well at least there is finally a game I know I DON'T want..

Make racist comments
Punch producers.
See how much belly fat you can get over the belt of your jeans
It's a game based on a show, so I'll keep my expectations low.
I'll keep an open-mind about it. I like most racing games and I'm quite a fan of the guys.
Doing some research, I found that the game will be on the arcade side of things with boosts and what-not, a tongue-in-cheek kind of racing adventure.
I like the idea of an arcade-like "Top Gear" game, it sounds like a fun thing, but it will come down to the execution as always. Whether there's any depth or scope to it, how serious Amazon is about going into the gaming business.
Well, if you like the show it could be fun.
So we've finally gotten to that point in this console generation when they think there's enough suckers...sorry, fans... that watch the show that will buy any old shovelware, eh?
But what do I know? Maybe it'll sell like gangbusters.
Seems like I'm the only one who likes these guys. BBC really cut off their nose to spite their face when they got rid of Clarkson.
Those who are still hungup on them no longer being on Top Gear would buy this game.
@Turismo4GT well, Who Wants to be a Millionaire came out on PS1, and I recall it did well!
I'd play a Coronation Street game that played like Life is Strange tbf.
Is this going to be something like Forza Horizon???
That is one game that I seriously want on the PS4...
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo in next year series grandtour they are going blow up a lorry full of this garbage game.
please stop now.
Damn, people are negative.
@adf86 Nope, you're not alone! Love the guys, love the show... can't see the game being up to much, though.
Why didn't they call it Jeremy Clarksons Road Rage?
