Series creator, Kazunori Yamauchi, announces GT7 could release as early as 2014

We’re just two weeks away from the release of Gran Turismo 6, but Gran Turismo 7 could release as soon as next year, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has said.

“We don’t want to take too long on Gran Turismo 7,” Yamauchi told Top Gear at this year’s Los Angeles Motor Show. “Best-case scenario? Next year.

“In Gran Turismo 6 we really had to tune the software 100 per cent to maximize the PS3′s architecture, but of course the PS4′s hardware is much better, so I think the overall quality of the game across the board will be boosted when you come to play it.”

In comparison, Gran Turismo 6 is coming out three years after Gran Turismo 5.

Can see they're making up for 5's long ass delay.

More like they're trying to go the EA route with their racing games. Yearly releases, microtransactions, no carryover, thanks for your $60.

could be worse...

Well, the software part of the emulation of real world physics (to a sane degree) is already done, and they've improved their graphical workflow with adding tessellation to car detail, so GT6 assets can theoretically scale up to "PS4" quality with ease in GT7, so I would hope they'd be quicker at pumping out future GTs since it'd primarily just be content creation (cars, tracks) from here on.

Granted, a good chunk of GT5's development time was probably wasted with writing Cell-specific code for the physics engine, since that processor was a number crunching machine in the right hands, and dealing with PS3's ram limitations with the kind of visuals they wanted to push, PS2-cars aside.

Or they could add detailed interiors to all of their cars....

Also we should change the title since this is officially not GT7.

Car damage? Decent AI? Realistic engine sounds?

Can we get a confirmation of the things the series fails at rather than the standard PR drivel of what we've always known the series is good at? Cars? Lots of em. Tracks? Yeah we've got those.

I think the biggest part is how they're going to promote clean racing and punish dirty racing.

[Lucavi]

I don't even mind that. Grid 1 promoted "clean" racing, but they showed what happens when you race dirty: your shit gets wrecked and parts go flying across the track. The original Grid had cleaner racing and better AI than Gran Turismo has had since the third goddamn game.

GT just hasn't gotten any better since the PS2. It feels like a giant expansion pack of graphics and absolutely no fundamental upgrades.

EDIT

vids taken down by PD Sony

Supposedly the game is currently 50% complete. Looks more like 75% to me but whateves...

*ALSO according to Kaz the damage was turned off during the event b/c the race would've ended very soon.








Same AI and Same sounds confirmed unless they can improve on that in a few months

[Omniyoji]

One more

[Lucavi]

Thanks for the vids.

After watching a couple demos, it seems they may have finally fixed the audio problem. This is exciting.

Delayed to 2017

Hello GT Community — I am sharing some news today that we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of Gran Turismo Sport to 2017. GT Sport is Polyphony’s foremost competitive gaming title, with high expectations from both the fans and from within our team.

From the start this title has been one of our most ambitious undertakings by using the latest technologies, such as physics-based rendering and sound simulations, and Scapes photo mode. In combining these features with a new Sport mode, we are offering a competitive gaming experience to truly reinvent what it means to be a racing game. We’ve been excited and humbled by the response each time that we’ve shared new gameplay with everyone.

However, as we approach our planned release date in November, we realize we need more time to perfect GT Sport, which we’ve already dedicated so much effort towards since announcing the title. We do not want to compromise the experience in any way. While we cannot confirm a new release date at this time, we are more committed than ever to making GT Sport the best Gran Turismo game to date.

GT Sport will continue to be shown at several gaming events around the world. I hope everyone has the opportunity to experience first-hand the yet-to-be revealed cutting edge experiences that will be achieved by GT Sport.

Thank you for all your continued support.

Kazunori Yamauchi - Founder of Polyphony Digital, Creator of Gran Turismo
