All Articles: Gran Turismo 6

Sony will announce the next Gran Turismo game on May 15

Sony plans to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Gran Turismo with a special event at the Silverstone Race Circuit in England on May 15. “The event will be a celebration of all that Gran Turismo has come to represent to a community of millions all over the world” and Polyphony Digital’s Kazunori Yamauchi will make a special announcement about the future of the franchise.

Sony didn’t come right out and say they’re announcing Gran Turismo 6, but since we know it’s already in development, I’d say it’s a pretty safe bet.

The only question is… PS3 or PS4?

Sony exec says Gran Turismo 6 is a PS3 game

Gran Turismo 6 was a notable no-show during Sony’s PlayStation 4 reveal last week. But the long development times typically associated with Polyphony Digital’s projects may not be to blame. Instead, the reason Gran Turismo 6’s PS4 debut didn’t happen is because it’s actually a PS3 game.

Michael Denny, the Senior Vice President at Sony Worldwide Studios, recently dropped this nugget during an interview with Silicon Republic:

“Look at the games coming out on the PlayStation 3 like The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, GT6, and then on the third-party side of things another fantastic Assassin’s Creed, GTA,” Denny listed. “It’s important for our content to have that kind of longevity because, as I was saying [about the PS Vita], the games that come through are going to get better and better over time.”

Interesting, very interesting.

Kaz Yamauchi reconfirms Gran Tursimo 6 is in development

Kazunori Yamauchi, the creator of Gran Turismo, has reconfirmed that Gran Turismo 6 is in development, and has been since the completion of Gran Turismo 5. He made the announcement at the China Joy gaming event in Shanghai, according to Kotaku. Yamauchi also told the crowd about bringing the series to the Vita, saying, “If we made it, I’d want it to have this: the ability to play and use 3G whenever.” Well, the Vita sounds like a perfect match, in that case!

This was confirmed back in November of last year, but it’s nice to have reconfirmation. As much as I hate to admit it, I agree with the end of that Kotaku article, where Brian Ashcraft wrote that “now the race is to see how many Forza games rival studio Turn 10 can race out before Gran Turismo 6 is eventually completed in the year 20XX.” Well played, Ashcraft. Well played.

Gran Turismo 6 confirmed to be in development

That’s right, development has begun on Gran Turismo 6, and it’s been confirmed by no less an authority than the President of Polyphony Digital himself. Speaking to IGN, Kazunori Yamauchi confidently confirmed that the sequel to the polarizing Gran Turismo 5 is now in development. And that’s about all he could confirm:

IGN: How do you decide what goes into GT5 DLC and what goes into the next full game?

Kazunori Yamauchi: Of course we’re working on GT6 already and I think what really will be the separating factor is something that we can’t update through a DLC is something that obviously has to be saved for GT6. Things that we can provide through DLC we will, so that’s really the market difference.

So let’s see, if Gran Tursimo 6 gets announced at next year’s E3 Expo, it’ll probably be released sometime in 2017. Sounds reasonable, right?
