When questioned by Autoweek.com about whether development had begun on Gran Turismo 6, Polyphony Digital head guy and GT mastermind Kazunori Yamauchi simply responded, “Yes.”
This is not the first time Yamauchi has spoken about Gran Turismo 6. He previously went on record about the proposed development time for the game, which he believes will be significantly shorter than time consumed by Gran Turismo 5’s development. Beyond that, Yamauchi is tight lipped about Gran Turismo 6.
Considering that Gran Turismo 5 still hasn’t shipped, it’s hard to disagree with the guy. Yamauchi also took the opportunity to clarify the reason’s for GT5’s most recent delay by relating a story from his past.
Today, the Gran Turismo series is a powerhouse, having sold more than 55 million games. As a result, Yamauchi has earned the power necessary to ensure that his games don’t ship until he is happy with them, and frankly, gamers should be happy about that. In the end, quality wins out. A delayed game is only delayed until it comes out - a bad game is bad forever.
“But all the things I thought were not enough yet, the users said the exact same thing when the game came out. That was something I regretted very much when that happened because I knew it was coming. And that happened at the beginning of my career, and it was something I vowed would never happen again.”
Ranters, did any of you play Motor Toon GP? What do you suppose could possibly be added to Gran Turismo 6 that isn’t in Gran Turismo 5?
