The series creator actually made the explanation on the difference between “Gran Turismo Sport” and “Gran Turismo 7” during the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2016 held in June.
He also spoke about his long-term plans for the game, the franchise, and the future of motorsports during a separate and closed-door presentation later during the E3 2016 week.
When “Gran Turismo Sport” comes out on the PlayStation 4, it will be going up against other car racing video games like “Project Cars,” “Assetto Corsa,” “Forza Motorsport 6,” and “Driveclub.”
Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has denied time and again that “Gran Turismo Sport” is the highly-anticipated “Gran Turismo 7” but those who have seen the gameplay of the former game during its launching, are practically one in saying that the game is almost like “Gran Turismo 6.5.”
If there is one thing that “Gran Turismo Sport” was able to positively do, it actually quenched in full the thirst of fans and gamers for their long wait and anticipation for “Gran Turismo 7.”
It becomes clear also that “Gran Turismo Sport” has bought Yamauchi and Polyphony Digital more than enough time to perfectly develop and harness “Gran Turismo 7” which could possibly come out one year after.
