The Real Driving Simulator 6
A new addition in the massively popular Gran Turismo series has been announced at a special event at Silverstone Racing Circuit in the UK today, Gran Turismo 6 (GT6) is coming to the PlayStation 3 before the end of 2013 (well that's the plan!) and will have in the region of 1200 cars with all of those from GT5 being retained, and 71 tracks via 33 locations, 7 of them new including Silverstone. Customisation has been given a boost with the ability to put "thousands of aerodynamic parts and custom wheels" on almost all of the cars and players will be able to create their own unique cars to the "greatest ever level possible", does that hint at a livery editor perhaps? Physics and handling have been given another good look with the joining up with 'Yokohama Rubber' and 'KW Automotive Suspension' being roped in to give extra technical expertise in their respective areas which should make GT5's already decent feeling handling even better and more authentic.
With the PS4 coming at the end of this year there are a lot of people asking why bring GT6 to PS3 and not PS4 and that is of course a fully valid question, but for myself personally who grew up playing Gran Turismo from the start I just see it as a continuation of the two main GT titles per key Sony platform; PS1 had GT and GT2, PS2 got GT3 and GT4 and now PS3 is following suit with GT5 and now GT6. There has already been hints of a GT for PS4 and whether this will be a upgraded version of GT6 or a wholly new in the way of GT7 is something we will just have to wait to see. What's certain is that Polyphony Digital always seem to get the best out of the machines they develop for so GT on PS4 is going to simply breathtaking! Here's hoping that they put some of this new extra power and performance into other aspects of the game and finally give the GT fans the perfect GT we have been waiting for since bloody 1998!!
A demo of GT6 will be out in July.
