Reports also have it that the next “Gran Turismo” game should come with a range of assists for Sunday drivers, offering everything from Stability Assist or ABS and racing lines to make driving more accessible. But like most racing games, “Gran Turismo 7’ will be enhanced using a wheel with no assist.
But before gamers get a piece of “Gran Turismo 7,” they will have the opportunity to play “Gran Turismo Sport” which some critics describe as a prologue to the seventh instalment of the car racing video game franchise.
However, according to publisher Sony Computer Entertainment, “Gran Turismo Sport” is actually a full-feature installment of the franchise and not a prologue or prelude to “Gran Turismo 7.”
Although series director Kazunori Yamauchi has been known for being late in releasing the previous games of the franchise, Sony remains confident that “Gran Turismo 7” will come out within its own timeline.
Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, believes that Yamauchi would deliver on his promise as the Japanese developer has been working on “Gran Turismo 7” for a while already ever since the release of “Gran Turismo 6.”
Ryan also confirmed that “Gran Turismo Sport” is not a prologue of “Gran Turismo 7,” explaining that the first game can further be expanded with the possible addition of a DLC.
He said a DLC was not possible in previously released prologue games of the franchise for “Gran Turismo 4” and “Gran Turismo 5.”
Of course GT has been delayed. The game has to be approved by a committee on Pluto. By the time polyphony releases another title, they’ll be working on new gpu hardware and design for next PS. Five years for a racing game is what they average. Thank god for Forza, been a Forza fan since 2005.
