Polyphony Pulls Plug On Gran Turismo HD [ News ] (totalvideogames.com)
- totalvideogames.com -
Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauichi has today confirmed that development of Gran Turismo HD has been abandoned in favour of focussing on Gran Turismo 5.
The game, a PlayStation 3 version of Gran Turismo 4 running at 1080p, had been demonstrated at a number of trade shows including E3 and Tokyo Game Show - and was planned to be the first GT instalment to feature cars from the prancing horse, Ferrari.
As some form of compensation, the Gran Turismo Series Producer did confirm that "Gran Turismo HD Concept" will be available to Japanese gamers as a free-to-download from December 24th on PlayStation Store. Featuring ten cars, a race track, and a couple of game modes (Time Attack and Drift Trial), there's no word so far as to whether North American and European gamers will be able to get the download in the future.
In his statement, Yamauichi also confirmed that a release period for Gran Turismo 5 has yet to be decided upon (probably a wise move given the series' knack for being heavily delayed).
We'll have more news shortly...
