“Driveclub” managed to make a name for itself in the racing game genre very quickly after its release, and it’s still one of the more popular titles in that area. “Gran Turismo” used to be the king of racing games, but “Driveclub” gathered a lot of interest quickly and built a solid fanbase in a relatively short timespan. And now, it seems like “Gran Turismo” is about to reclaim its fame with the upcoming release of “Gran Turismo 7”.
The new game is supposedly going to breathe some fresh life into the series, and introduce certain changes that have been needed for a long time. Various reports allegedly coming from the studio indicate that the game’s developers are hard at work polishing all of its features and making sure that everything will be perfect for the launch.
One of the things that the developers of “Gran Turismo 7” are putting particular focus on is the performance of the game. For a title as competitive as “Gran Turismo”, it’s critical that it runs well on supported hardware, and manages to offer a smooth playing experience while showing its pretty graphics.
And there’s certainly no denying that “Gran Turismo 7” is going to look stunning, judging from what we’ve seen from the game so far, which makes it that much more important to ensure that players will be able to enjoy a smooth gameplay experience with the title. The fact that the developers don’t have to support a lot of hardware, and are working with the all-new development system of the PlayStation 4, means that they should be able to make it a solid title without any technical issues relatively easily.
Then, all that’s left is to make sure that the game will live up to expectations in terms of gameplay. Some changes to the fundamental gameplay may not be a bad idea, and the studio can certainly benefit from experimenting with different styles at this point. The franchise has more or less established itself with regards to the way its gameplay works, but its developers should be careful to avoid relying on that success for too long, as fans will eventually grow tired of playing what’s essentially the same game with visual upgrades.
But from what we’ve heard about “Gran Turismo 7” so far, we should definitely see some very innovative changes to its gameplay once the new title hits the market, and it could even redefine the way the racing genre works if it manages to get enough exposure. There’s some time left to go until “Gran Turismo 7” arrives, and it could have a significant impact on the racing market if it’s successful.
