Karting Originally Meant For Gran Turismo 6

Polyphony’s pernickety petrol-head Kazunori Yamauchi has spoken over at Gamescom about the recent unveiling of karting in Gran Turismo 5, revealing that the mode was actually initially earmarked for Gran Turismo 6. The sultan of scope-creep told journalists:

“This is something we were actually saving for Gran Turismo 6 but the information leaked out so we decided we would just put it in this one.”

Returning to the present for a second, the renowned perfectionist also spoke about Gran Turismo 5’s B-Spec mode, a team-focused driver direction feature. He also reaffirmed that the game would have course making functionality and a 3D Photo Mode.

Gran Turismo 5 will launch in Europe on November 3rd.

  1. I for one am hoping he’ll delay another two months to add on triOviz 3d

  2. I’m sorry, I seem to have missed 3D photo mode somehow, finally would be able to se those cars in 1080p3D fuck… yes!!!!

  3. what’s left for them to do in racing?
    scalextrix?
    link it to google earth and let you race almost anywhere on the planet?
    actually, that would be bloody awesome if they could get it to work.

    • Moon buggies … CONFIRMED!
      ;)

      • GT5 is still missing one key aspect of motor sports ….. TRACTOR PULLING !!!! Has to be in GT6

    • There is a Nokia game that does that, N900 has it I think

    • I agree. Linking it to Google Earth would be awesome I could recreate some of the best Top Gear challenges just like i’m looking to do with the track. I could also race around my house

  4. my most anticipated game since ps3 launch

  5. GT5 beyond amazing
    GT6 something so great that it will have to be on the PS4 (plus by the time its released the PS4 will already exist)

    • If it takes this long the PS6 will be released

  6. Wont we all be driving around in hover cars by the time GT6 comes out

  7. Screw GT6, give us TT2.

  8. Well in terms of what’s missing that would actually be worth adding instead of a stupid frigid-looking karting slap-on, F1 racing would have been a good start.

  9. I reckon the track editor will be sections you can put together to make one big one. Like scalectric kinda style. :D

    • That would be quality, but it looks like its a random generator with adjustable variables. There’s a screen from editor on GT5 post on EU PS blog, seems that you can adjust whole route or sections of it

  10. I love the way he’s so blase about it, ‘yer, lets just stick it in this one… why not?’ what else could they potentially put in eh?! =)
