Perusing through the commentaries of avid gamers on the forum site of GT Planet, it is very clear that they want the upcoming car racing video game “Gran Turismo 7” to integrate the best features of previous “Gran Turismo” games with the reported new features to make the game really great.
Some gamers are even suggesting that game developer Polyphony Digital consider other features of top car racing video games like “Forza Motorsport” and even the arcade-like game “PCars” on the PC for inclusion into the game.
However, majority of the gamers are espousing the inclusion into the game of the great features of the “Gran Turismo 6,” the “Gran Turismo 5,” the “Gran Turismo 4” and the “Gran Turismo 3” dream race cars which are far better than the “GT4” toned down versions.
Among those worthy suggestions from gamers to make “Gran Turismo 7” the best racing game ever when it is released exclusively to the PlayStation 4 either next year or at the latest in 2017 include fixing the issues with most race cars and some road cars, have a “GT4” size cars, have a single player mode, increase the difficulty and remove the negative rubberbanding AI, have proper race starts, and have the option to qualifying races, include an event creator that can be shared online, expand customization to include a Livery Editor, fix server issues, among a host of others.
These suggestions actually indicate how avid gamers are closely keeping their eyes and ears open with regards to updates on “Gran Turismo 7.”
Creator wants it released soon
It is not just the fans who are already excited to get their hands on “Gran Turismo 7” when it is officially released in the near future, series creator Kazunori Yamauchi feels the same way too.
Unlike the gamers though, Yamauchi need not get hold of a copy of “Gran Turismo 7” when it is finally released exclusively on the PlayStation 4 as he has been very busy working on the development of the game for quite some time.
In a recent interview, Yamauchi said that people will not wait so much on a game that is way too far from being released. He said that since the game is “Gran Turismo,” fans and gamers deserve that it comes to them earlier, details Gamespot.
Yamauchi’s latest statement about the release date of “Gran Turismo 7” was consistent with his pronouncement sometime in October 2014. He also hinted that it seems pretty clear that the game will come in the next year and a half so it is likely that “Gran Turismo 7” will be released later in 2016, with the latest being early 2017.
The best entry on the PS4
When game developer Polyphony Digital announced recently that it is planning to make the seventh and latest iteration to its car racing video game franchise “Gran Turismo” as the best entry on the PlayStation 4, it was not making an empty promise. Neither was it simply making a marketing hype for “Gran Turismo 7.”
Apparently, the game development company is already looking ahead with the emerging competition other than the one currently being posed by the “Forza Motorsport” series, the Xbox-exclusive car racing video game.
There is currently an emerging competition in what is turning out to be a hotly-contested segment of the video game business.
Slightly Mad Studios has started its “Project Cars” video game franchise and reports have it that a second installment is due to be released soon. Kunos Simulazioni has also unravelled “Assetto Corsa” on the PC recently and accordingly, the game console versions will also come out by next year which will also bring new and exciting features.
