Sony must be licking its lips at the prospect of Gran Turismo 7. Polyphony Digital’s popular racing property has always been a big seller, but did sag a little bit during the PlayStation 3 era due to delays and the slightly smaller install base of the last-gen system compared to its predecessors. However, with the PlayStation 4 on fire – especially in Europe – the simulation racer’s next-gen debut promises to be a real heavyweight.
And while the title has yet to be officially unveiled, community manager Eric Fishback hinted during a PlayStation Experience panel earlier today that fans of the franchise should brace themselves for something special. “What you can expect from Gran Turismo on the PS4, which is the strongest console ever, is the best Gran Turismo that you can imagine,” he cryptically teased. We’re already practically salivating at the prospect of the release’s car models.
Rumours regarding the unannounced release are a little thin on the ground right now, but we do know that the Japanese developer has scanned the Isle of Man’s famous Mountain Course, hinting that motorbikes could be making a comeback in the title. Series creator Kazunori Yamauchi has been quite open about the game’s ongoing production as well, joking earlier in the year that it won’t make 2014. Could it be ready in time for next Christmas, though?

Will it be Shenmue?
hopefully they don't choke and take for damn ever on this game, only to finish half of the vehicles. I didn't buy GT on the PS3 after hearing about that. I'll wait till a proper GT game comes out before I fork over $60.
Can. Not. Wait.
Hope they treat all cars the same this time , all premiums no standards...
GT
FF15
KH3
TLG
Greatness awaits was well chosen.
Call me when its not vapour-ware.
First see, then I will believe. I hope that GT7 will be finished at its release with all cars in HD with support for my GT5 steering wheel. And no need for 263 Skylines this time, 5 will be fine for me.
@Kohaku I logged in to post that, the lack of ps4 support for the logitech gt currently is shocking.
I got tired of Grain Turismo. I haven't played 6 but in 4 and 5 gathering credits became very frustrating, worse than grinding in rpg games. I prefer the setting on Drive Club.
Not pre orddring this by a long shot. First I have to see if they can improve AI, add more real tracks, and have a interesting career mode which is an actual challenge instead of a grind. Oh and there will probably be a lot of technical issues to sort out as well (install and loading times in GT5 anyone..?)
I don't feel under any pressure to buy a PS4 at the moment but as soon as GT7 is released I'll feel the pressure. What I love about the GT series is the strive for perfection.
I really hope they come up with new ways to earn cars etc. I stopped playing GT6 because of the constant grind to get new cars and tracks.
It's just so damn boring.
@yakuzah that's the charm! Must race '98 Miata for $1200 prize forty times to earn Audi S4!
@Bigdoggy hey, 5 and 6 are both great. Missin' out!
I'm obviously excited about 7. I use controllers, tho, not wheels. I can't imagine how frustrating it'd be to buy it and have it not work
@Kohaku Yes!
I can't wait I have played all versions so far and will certainly pre-order GT7.
I have my doubts that they will have it finished in 2015 though... they strive for perfection which costs time.
I don't mind the old non-HD cars. It's better to have them as extra than leave them out. But I do hope they will make some of these HD at least.
