14 DAY TRIAL // Developer Polyphony Digital is working on making Gran Turismo 7 for the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, and the team says that the standard cars are here to stay.
Designer Kazunori Yamauchi unveiled a number of new GT Vision cars at this year’s Goodwood Festival, when he also said that the sequel to Gran Turismo 6 was underway, as Eurogamer reports.
He also mentioned that Polyphony Digital was working directly on the next game, focusing on getting it done faster instead of first releasing a prologue, and also informed racing game fans that he had been perhaps a bit too optimistic when he announced the game for 2014, as Gran Turismo 7 is more likely to come out next year.
Plans for Gran Turismo 7 include an overhauled sound design, which is one of the community’s main issues with the driving simulation title, and which Yamauchi admitted that still needed some work. The good news is that the work done on improving GT7’s sound will also translate into Gran Turismo 6, and that updating GT6 is still in the company’s plans.
Yamauchi also said that the team would be keeping the standard car models which could be found in the game since 2004, but that Polyphony was also determined to increase the number of premium cars available.
