It’s still not confirmed by Sony, but Gran Turismo 6 has appeared again online, this time on the LinkedIn page of a marketer at SCEA.
The mention, now removed, read (emphasis ours):
Managing the following titles and franchises at Sony Computer Entertainment America as product manager, handling strategic planning, day-to-day marketing activities, and lifecycle management:
Gran Turismo 6 and GT franchise, The Last Guardian, MotorStorm, Journey, Carnival Island, other titles yet to be announced.
Strange that GT6 is not included in that ‘yet to be announced’ category, yes, but it doesn’t appear to be a typo; GT5, GT5 Prologue and GT PSP are all listed later in the profile in the past tense.
Back in March, members of the development team were spotted taking photos and measurements at the Mount Panorama course at Bathurst.
A Vita entry in the franchise has been rumoured of late (and may be on the way, given the “…and GT franchise” snippet in the profile), but it sounds like a numbered, and therefore likely home console, edition is closer to launch.

Now I believe in a 10 year life cycle for the ps3…

Even if it’s planned for this gen, it won’t be released until next.

It’ll be out in 8 years or so. Given that GT5 came in the last half of PS3 10 years cycle. Judging on that scale, GT Vita in 6 years.

Great. I just hope the licenses will have a purpose in GT6 because they didn’t have any in GT5. I also hope they blatantly steal Auto Vista from Forza 4. Some new tracks too please. (read: F1 tracks)
I’d also ask for more premium cars, but I don’t want to push it.

Jboo… correct.
