Gran Turismo 6 Rumored to Include Large Number of Tracks
While helping out with the Polish GT Academy 2012 finals, Lucas Ordoñez made an interesting comment about Gran Turismo 6‘s development, which he’s reportedly involved in.
According to a reporter on hand at the event, Lucas suggested the series’ next flagship title would include a very large number of tracks. Though the Polish source article is not clearly translated by Google, but we now have a full translation kindly provided by native Polish speaker and GTPlanet reader, Alex (Vatrox):
“We are not sure whether to consider it a rumor or a verified information, but you can be sure we are the first in the world to report it. What’s the matter? The day before yesterday (that would be 23 of July – Vatrox), “our” guy Jacob took part in the GT Academy finals held in Warsaw. Beside competitors, there was also well-known Nissan’s driver – Lucas Ordones. So what?
Well, Jacob managed to chat with him for a bit asking about Gran Turismo series and it’s future. And the information he managed to get is very interesting. Lucas gave away that Gran Turismo 6 production is in progress and we will be very surprised how accurate and well-reproduced are all the tracks. Also, the amount of them will be simply jawdropping.
Asked what platform it is being delevoped for, he replied
enigmatically: ”Now, that’s a very good question…” How much truth is in that? As a Nissan’s driver and the face of GT Academy he obviously knows more than an ordinary mortal. And GT6 is certain for some platform.”
Representatives from Polyphony Digital have, of course, already been spotted at the Bathurst circuit, scanning and photographing it for Gran Turismo 6.
Over 25 different circuit logos also remain on GT5‘s “Remote B-Spec Racing” website, though they are not currently available in the game.

I just attended Chinajoy to see Yamauchi and got a signature.
He mentioned that. He will go to Shanghai F1 track tomorrow to try if it’s good enough to include in next gen of GT. -

Yeah, I remember when GT5 was rumored to include a large number of tracks.

I realy hope it comes for ps3!
ps3 still is good enough for me…-

Nah, it’s not. I really expecting that GT6 will really really unbelievably epic and solid (well i like forza car presentation and modification, really wanted GT6 can beat them TBH). Not some glitchcy stuff and unsolid job again. If ps4 can do it, than it better in one

@Nah I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. A person creating an account to write a comment, and then creating another account just to write the same comment again. What?

Yeah he forgot the punctuation on the second. Bizarre
-
July 26th, 2012 at 11:01 pm - #TeamCZRRacing
@tpark103 That still doesn’t explain why he created another account just to post the same comment again, just with punctuation fixed. That’s like PD creating a new company every time they wanted to push out an update for GT5.

What Will Ferrel’s life narrator in Stranger Than Fiction will probably say:
“And while fans hear rumors and start to speculate about the next installment of Gran Turismo, little do they know, it will be at least another ∞ years before the release of GT6.”
:P

In Indonesia, there’s Sentul Track…. but I think Kaz won’t include it. I will be very amaze if he include it, cos i’m Indonesian. Hahahahahha…

I would translate it this way:
The amount of the tracks is jawdropping.Lucas also admited “the production process of the GT6 is advanced”
Asked about the generation of the platform answered: “well… this is a good question…”-
July 26th, 2012 at 12:51 pm - #another_jakhole
Interesting.
Advanced? Could he have meant that GT6′s development is in its advanced stages?

If the AI is non-existent like in GT5 (follow the rabbit), it won’t matter because it will be as boring as GT5 is now. Online you say? Well, there are many, many games/sims that do on-line much, much better than GT5, on-line isn’t what made the GT series unique.. If there’s no ”there” there, I don’t care how many tracks there’s going to be. I hope they work on A-Spec and the racing in GT5, not just a bunch of cool content for online multi-player.

I don’t care that you don’t care about on-line. Sounds to me like you won’t be happy until the games has power ups and rockets :-)

I just wish they had more of a personality.. I want to see them spin out more and make mistakes. Or at least account for the user’s pace slightly. I like that its on-line proper form racing but professional drivers make mistakes too.

^ That’s actually why I do endurance races on ovals in difficult-to-drive cars with tire wear and fuel consumption on… The AI makes mistakes, and the competition is usually pretty equal; (at least with FGT’s, FF1′s, and NASCARs) no rabbit cars… Though I’d rather it be like this on regular circuits. I know that PELNTY of people HATE oval tracks.

Premium Tracks and Standard Tracks, imported from GT4 xD

Haha, this would be silly! :D

July 26th, 2012 at 7:18 am - #MSTER232
As funny as it sounds, I don’t think PD are cheap enough to actually import tracks from GT4. People would start complaining about the graphics and that it looks like a PS2 game with PS3 cars.
-
July 26th, 2012 at 9:12 am - #Buzz17091991
To be honest, GT5 has some tracks with PS2-graphics. Look on the Trial Mountain Circuit or Deep Forest Raceway. The top gear test track isn’t good, too.

I think “IF” GT6 comes to ps3 then it will take about 3 – 4 years max..
24 November 2010 GT5 came out, so my logic is November 2013 or 2014….
still a lot of time to wait… and if ps4 will about to release then I hope GT6 will be available for both ps4 and ps3 (that seems most logical to me)…

July 26th, 2012 at 8:02 am - #mokalovesoulmat
I guess the GT6 will available for both PS3 and PS4. :))

This is going in the right direction.. (safe to say so far)
GTPlanet on Google+
So we’ve already got 70+ track layouts across 20+ locations. What’s next, 140+ layouts over 70+ locations? THAT would be awesome. It better contain a twisty Japanese mountain road, though.
