Polyphony has delayed their latest racing simulator, Gran Turismo Sport, from November, 15 2016 until 2017. No new specific release date has been given.
Founder of Polyphony, Kazunori Yamauchi said, “While we cannot confirm a new release date at this time, we are more committed than ever to making GT Sport the best Gran Turismo game to date.”
On the day that Gran Turismo Sport’s online services are switched off for good, a reflection on how impactful the game was for the sim racing industry.
fantastic game
innovative match making with player ettiquite tasked into account
GT7 improves on it with:
all the same tracks + loads more tracks
all the same cars + loads more cars
improved / new physics
dualsense support + haptics for road bumps
improved lighting + weather changable mid race
much more vast one player races, challenges, leagues etc.
more of an iteration than a revelation, but what they improve, they have improved so drastically it is deffo worth getting.
GT Sport, like Gran Turismo 7, requires internet to save. But now that its servers are going dark, that requirement is being removed.
Sony Interactive Entertainment has delisted Gran Turismo Sport from the PlayStation Store as of January 1, 2024.
The great digital future. Where games vanish. The benefits of digital just aren't enough over physical to every buy in 100 percent. Especially when my Atari games still work and can be played to this day over 40 years later. Some of these digital games don't even last a whole generation.
Online based titles like this I wouldn't expect to last forever as the game has been updated iterations as in gt7
Same with if FIFA 20 was delisted as example there's update to game. If something like Uncharted collection was delisted then that's something that's bad
You pay stupid money for digital games and DLC, then it goes missing. Who's laughing?
SO IT BEGINS
I get it. Delayed game are delayed for a reason, but c'mon man...
I was hoping GTS could be the VR launch title with PSVR.
People here know I am pro-Sony. But Polyphony should learn something from Turn10 at this point.
I know GTS or GT7 will massively outsell anything remotely close to its competition but they got to quicken up their game pace.
As I said, I get the delay, I support it.
But you can't deny that it is getting a little annoying.
That's definitely a shame. Was looking forward to this in VR. Sucks that there is no updated release date, just an arbitrary 2017.
Well there's a surprise.....
