For those hoping the next iteration of Polyphony Digital’s storied 15-year-old Gran Turismo franchise would take full advantage of the Sony Playstation 4, sorry, but we’re going to burst your bubble. The next-gen console is slated to debut this holiday season, and while Sony officially announced today that Gran Turismo 6 would be released at the same time, it will be for the seven-year-old Playstation 3 console, not the new PS4. But hey, at least we won’t have to have waited five years for this version like we did for the fifth.
GT6 will launch with a roster of 1,200 cars, 33 locations (seven more than GT5) and 71 track layouts. The racing simulator is also said to utilize new game and physics engines, which Sony claims “pushes the limits of the PS3.” Today’s announcement was made at the well-known Silverstone racing circuit in the UK, which is one of the new tracks in GT6. A demo version of the game with 19 cars (see the full list below and view them in the related gallery) will be released before the holiday season; Sony says it’s scheduled for July and will kick off GT Academy 2013.
We’ll see more of Gran Turismo 6 at the E3 games show in June, but for now you can watch the trailer below for what has become the Playstation 3’s best-selling franchise with 70 million copies sold. This sixth iteration will likely lock down that honor for good.Continue reading Gran Turismo 6 confirmed for holiday 2013 release on PS3
