All Articles: Gran Turismo Sport

Yesterday, Sony revealed that Gran Turismo Sport will be released exclusively for the PS4 on November 15. They also hosted a rather in-depth livestream, “Gran Turismo Sport Unveiling,” and launched a brand-new gameplay trailer.

The gameplay trailer is embedded above, and as you might have guessed, it features a bunch of pretty cars in a bunch of pretty locales. Thanks to the rather chill soundtrack choice, it almost feels less like a video game trailer and more like a real car commercial. But I have a feeling that’s what developer Polyphony Digital was going for.

In other Gran Turismo Sport news, Polyphony CEO Kazunori Yamauchi told VideoGamer.com that a previously-announced beta test won’t proceed as planned. Development on the beta was canceled so Polyphony would have enough time to meet the November 15 release date.

But if you need more Gran Turismo Sport on this Friday, you can find the complete “Gran Turismo Sport Unveiling” stream (all three hours of it) after the break. (more…)

Sony and Polyphony Digital have announced that Gran Turismo Sport will make its PS4 debut on November 15. The game, which is centered around online competitions sanctioned by FIA (Federation International Automobile), will also include offline and single-player modes to keep everyone racing.

With a release date locked and loaded, Sony also wants to rev up your wallet with several pre-order bonuses for Gran Turismo Sport. Everyone who purchases the game before November 15 will receive a bonus 3-Car Pack that includes a Ford Mustang Group B Rally Car, Toyota FT-1 Vision GT Group 3, and Peugeot 908 HDi FAP LMP1. In addition, the PlayStation Blog revealed a trio of retailer-specific bonus packs will also be available:

And in case you missed the beginning of it, Sony is currently hosting special “Gran Turismo Sport Unveiling” stream on Twitch, so jump in now if you’re interested.

We don’t know if its the long-rumored Gran Turismo 7, but Sony has officially announced that Gran Turismo Sport will be coming to the PS4 sometime next year. Unveiled during this week’s Paris Games Week, Gran Turismo Sport will be an MMO racer of sorts where players pledge allegiance to their home country and their favorite car manufacturer:

In Gran Turismo Sport, there will be two FIA [International Automobile Federation] online championships running simultaneously. In the Nations Cup, players will be able represent their home country. Whilst in the Manufacturers Cup, players will be driving on behalf of their favorite car manufacturer. Players will not only be able to race as drivers themselves, they’ll also be able to root for their home country or their favorite manufacturers teams.

The winner of the championship will be awarded at the FIA prize giving ceremony, alongside real life motorsports champions. This will be a historic moment, the first time a video game will officially be recognized as part of the real motoring world.

Polyphony Digital’s Kazunori Yamauchi told the PlayStation Blog that his team continues to improve the franchise’s graphics, physics, and sound, and he hopes to deliver “the most realistic driving simulator to date.” I’m sure most of the world would expect nothing less from the famed developer.

A beta test for Gran Turismo Sport will be held this Spring.
