GT6 Section Discovered on Polyphony Digital Website

On the eve of the biggest celebration in the history of the Gran Turismo brand, GTPlanet member “RoadRunner99” has discovered a hidden section to be dedicated for Gran Turismo 6 announcements on Polyphony Digital’s new website, which was just re-launched last week. It is the first mention of GT6 on the official gran-turismo.com site.

The page can be seen by manually changing a URL parameter to “gt6”, or http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/news/?t=gt6.

This reveals a “Products | Gran Turismo® 6” page, including the custom-crafted title with the registered trademark logo, which will presumably organize future posts on the site about the new game.

Stay tuned for more exclusive live coverage here on GTPlanet of the “15 Years of Gran Turismo” event, taking place on Wednesday, May 15th at Silverstone Circuit in the UK. (An exact start time is not yet known – we’ll have specifics as they become available.)

    I don’t think that this discovery proves anything, it is quite simple to modify the page using the browser Google Chrome with”Inspect Element” and edit some text…

  2. RobDoggy05

    Its going to be like how Sony announced the PS4, everyone knew it was coming and even knew the specs, and “the big announcement” was that Sony just confirmed the PS4 and got a few developers to show some insight of what they doing.
    This is what we will see today, PD will confirm SOMETHING but leave a big chunk of info out like always.

    For the sake of the Gran Turismo brand I hope PD don’t get out hopes up and waste our time today and actually make it worth the build up they leading us on.

  3. TokoTurismo

    Any hype killers won’t be getting my attention, that’s all I’ll say. Can’t wait for GT6. :)

  4. pasigiri

    I bet if PD announced Porsche as being part of GT6 tomorrow, there would be a lot of tune changing around here.

    1. TokoTurismo

      My thoughts tells MLRSparco is hoping for disappointment… Pointless in hoping if you ask me because from what Jordan said from the fourms, something tells those who were hoping for disappointment are gonna stay quiet… U_U

  5. omgitsbees

    Whatever Polyphony Digital decides to show us, remember to take all of it with a huge grain of salt. Nothing shown for Gran Turismo 5 was representative of the actual gameplay at all. I can never trust PD’s game trailers and footage after how untruthful GT5’s marketing campaign was. That was just as bad as Aliens: Colonial Marines.

    1. TheeFrogmanlego

      People make GT5 seem like the worst POS ever..
      I mean unless you thought it was going to be the game to end all games you did.. and most of you guys did ..

    2. omgitsbees

      lmao, fanboys will be fanboys I guess. I’m just not as emotionally invested in it to the point where I thought GT5 was pure perfection. It was anything but, and was way behind other racing games when it came out. I’m having much more realistic expectations this time.

    3. TokoTurismo

      Yeah, go ahead and call me a fanboy, even though I wasn’t attempting to BE on in the first place. Anyways ignored.

    4. omgitsbees

      haha, so sensitive and defensive whenever challenged. Typical. You have the logic of a toddler.

    5. drag lab 101

      @ Omgitsbees… You have what I consider a valid point.
      I’m hopeful for a lot but expect to get a minor glimpse… And what I see I don’t expect to be the exact same thing once product is delivered. Just how it goes…

    1. oneloops

      There is a count in the teaser video for one reason. GT 1,2,3,4,5 _ and a line flashing. It’s obviously for GT6.

      GT5 spec 3 have not sense in this teaser count image. So you’re wrong :)

    2. DSUjoeDirte9

      wasn’t a serious comment. :) but i still want a spec 3 now that i think of it to keep us occupied till gt6

    3. TokoTurismo

      @DSUjoeDirte9 No worries, was just having some fun because I’m so hyped. :D You’re going to love GT6 more from what me and the others heard from Jordan at the forums. :)

    1. oneloops

      The page is already created and its content. They will update the content tomorrow in time with the new evenement.

  6. moparmanmike

    GT Vita hahaha. Seriously though I guess we can just wait and see. Don’t expect gold or the world, but don’t give up hope til its over. That way there’s no major disappointment if its not what’s expected from everyone, but true excitement if its what everyone has been hoping for.

  7. HKSBro92

    It’s cool how they’re revealing it tomorrow instead of waiting for E3, which is a few weeks away. Can’t wait!

    1. HuskyGT

      That’s what worries me. I wouldn’t be surprise if Mr. Yamauchi only tells us that GT6 is coming soon :/

    2. Halcyon925

      The least that they can do is maybe show us a GT6 Trailer, or give us a estimated date on when GT6 is released.

    3. Quakebass

      There could be a trailer shown, and likely updates on what GT6 will include. The gameplay and thorough inside look can wait for E3.

      That’s what I’d expect, anyways.

  8. Blood*Specter

    It’s about to get crazy people. I hope everyone who loves and stuck with GT for so long will find something to be happy about tomorrow. It’s been a long wait for any kid of news from PD and Kaz.
    It gets no better than this anticipation wise.

    1. Guardian

      No, I actually thought the site looked rather bland/dull.

      I mean…dark grey with white text?

    2. oink83

      @Guardian That doesn’t quite equate to “worst site layout ever”. To be honest, I would agree that it’s pretty bland, but that isn’t really anything to do with how it’s layed out to be fair.

    3. Pit Crew

      Looks about the same as it did before the New Update. Saying its the worst Layout ever is taking it to far

  9. pnbr0014

    If they announce the game and don’t give a release window i’d be so pissed lol.. they make us wait without knowing for everything else it would be nice to hear some kind of date even a year..

  10. Hentis

    WOW Never thought I’d see the day when a GT6 page would be discovered on a brand new Gran Turismo website….

  11. Deko Wolf-GTPT

    When life gives you lemons…take them! Free stuff is awesome!

    This public service announcement has been brought to you by every lemonade stand across the world.

    1. HarVee

      But, most of the time free stuff is of horrible quality and sometimes doesn’t even work at all.

      You can keep your free dried out lemons, and I’ll just pay for fresher ones.

    2. crcn11

      Lemonade stands can’t afford to lose money, they won’t want to hand out free lemons. If I was given free lemons I’d just be confused.

    3. Ferrari Alonso

      Hopefully GT6 will feature more LeMons Prototypes, old and new as well as the GT cars! ;)

    4. Wanderlust2000

      You cant make an omellette without breaking a few lemons ..I mean, When life hands you eggs, make..
      Ahh nevermind.

  12. marktyper

    Come on people. Don’t hope that it will be released this year especially if you believe of the rumors. This is the proof, PD just started making the GT6 category in their page and there’s even no info yet. It’s impossible to be released in a year I guess. Plus it SHOULD be on PS4. And I’d care less about GT6 right now cause I am TOTALLY looking forward for GTAV :D

    1. lintels123

      I’m more excited for GTA V right now too than gt6. Mostly because i know GTA will be on PS3 so i can actuallu get it. if GT6 comes to PS3, things might change a bit.

    2. smskeeter23

      If there is one thing I learned about website and interface design it’s that it is always easier to get the infrastructure ready ahead of time. Then you design the pages and such in the background and all you have to do is flip a switch when you’re ready. Then boom the stuff is live instantly. My guess would be that the content is simply awaiting upload and hotlink changes.

    3. Quakebass

      Yet we know PD started on GT6 before GT5 was even released… You don’t create a website for a product that isn’t officially announced. We only know GT6 as a project because of leaks and a few statements from Kaz and PD.

      … And at that, you don’t put stuff on your website for a project, you put stuff on for a PRODUCT – a title that isn’t officially announced is therefore a project, as it has the potential of not being released. When something is announced, it’s being announced as a product.

      You don’t see NFS or Forza making websites for unannounced games, even though we know something will be coming eventually – Horizon 2, FM5, Shift 3, and other NFS titles are all obvious projects currently in development. Why would PD build a section on their site for an unannounced game…?

  13. rjcraft16

    I’ve loved and enjoyed the GT series for 15 years but I wouldn’t get too excited people, it could be another gt5. Or it could be a new and wonderful addition to the series but im not going to get too excited but I will support PD

    1. TomBrady

      Another GT5? I’d love that. Another amazing game, BEST PHYSICS in the series, most features, most cars and best tracks, best graphics & sound, most innovative in the series, multiplayer, seasonal events, course maker and DLC.

      I just can’t believe that you would not want another GT5, and why? Because it didn’t have a lot of A Spec events? because PD made some terrible choices on the way they implemented things? So what. The amount things GT5 lacked PALES in comparison to what past GT’s lacked, the only difference is expectations, that’s it. And your expectations don’t change the game, it changes how you view it and that’s no one’s fault but your own. Go through life expecting perfection, you’ll be extremely disappointed with everything. GT5 has everything past GT’s had, and more, and it does the basics much better

      Most likely though, GT6 will be much more polished than GT5. The problems with GT5 stem from PD’s lack of manpower, poor time management, being forced to implement 3D, and most of all having to make a new game engine for the PS3. The hard part is over, they have more man power, unless it’s on PS4, I really think it’s stupid to think that GT6 won’t correct the issues with GT5 and give us the best GT yet.

    2. aronh17

      +1

      Why so much hate for GT5? Well simple, current gen consoles have made our standards too high. What? GT2 had like WAY less than half of anything GT5 has and we played it day and night with no complaints. Kazunori said GT5 wasn’t fully optimized for PS3 and didn’t use all of the power. Tom what you said is exactly the problem with everyone. And if it’s on PS4, they still have the manpower. It’s easier to code for, an open APU design with x86 architecture and 8GB of GDDR5 they will have no issues. As Kaz said, PS4 is just an open canvas. Porting GT6 from PS3 to PS4 would be easy. Increase the resolution to native 1080p, push full Anisotropic Filtering and Anti-Aliasing and that’s it. I will never EVER forget my first race on GT5. First time booting it up, hopping in my pre-ordered McLaren F1 Stealth and heading on Le Mans with weather and time change, I was so amazed. I hope they do weather/time change on all courses for GT6. I will always remember because I never played such a quality title with ridiculous visuals and day/night with weather all at once. Boom, started raining and I was in the fully detailed (and over-detailed) cockpit view and the wipers kick on. Then the headlights kicked on and it was night. Was scary seeing nothing but 10 meters ahead and lights along the sides! Most games don’t even have horns/reverse lights/wipers. The attention to small details is what I like about GT5. I strongly feel that GT6 will come out this November on PS3. Enjoy the racing guys!

    3. smskeeter23

      +1 aronh17… personally i’d be happy with THE EXACT SAME GT5 we have now with no standard cars and 4 mew tracks. That’s it. I dont care about shadows, I dont care about smoke, dont give a rip about damage, all I want are premium cars and some tracks.

      Keep up the good work PD, ignore the diaper baby haters.

    4. oneloops

      smskeeter23 : Realistics sounds is a high priority, as much as a decent IA skills (not breaking 15m before we can do), and improvements in force feedback wheels.

    5. Stephanos82

      I agree that GT5 has the best physics in the series but it’s NOT up to par with PC sims like LFS or Rfactor..
      I’ll will actually find it quite ridiculous if tyres lack pressure settings in the year 2013 by a so called driving sim!

    6. LostRacer

      I disagree with the other comments. I enjoyed GT5 for what it was. the problems that occurred within the game were addressed. The system didn’t have the capability to handle what they wanted. the sound issues, the shadow issues. All handicaps of the systems inability to do it. Lack of hardware was the culprit. Not wants and wishes. This isn’t the PS1 or PS2. Times have changed and so has the ability to add on. Being able to update the game on the fly is a huge accomplishment. Back in the PS1 days, it made sense to produce a sequel title for the same console. You were able to add in items and features that were lacking from the first attempt. they were able to take what others had recommended and implemented them. PS2 is the same way. It had minor storage capability as an add on, but still lacked the ability to house any actual update features. So for the first 2 systems it made sense to produce 2 titles per. However, now times have changed. With the late release of 5 and the ability to add features and DLC, there isn’t much room for gameplay improvement. They’re already taxing the system where they’re at. It wouldn’t make any sense to attempt more out of a system that is going away. The next gen is here. Newer and more efficient ways of programming and hardware are available. IMO releasing GT6 on the PS3 would make it a refined GT5 at best. I’d rather move forward into the future of gaming with the upcoming system. That leaves tons of time for DLC and feature rich content. Better sounds, pristine graphics, and a more realistic experience come with it. Why you’d want to invest in the old instead of focusing on whats coming is beyond me. But everyone has their opinion.

    7. Quakebass

      Ok, so the problems in GT5 don’t bother you.

      You are a minority.

      There is a MASSIVE amount of people here that have a problem with lackluster content (which there is quite a bit of) in GT5. Non-competitive AI, EXTREMELY short and bland A-Spec, very non-thoroughly featured content (Drifting doesn’t have a section, and hardly any cars, and a VERY poor points system, Rally has very few tracks AND cars, and not many events, (not to mention under-usage of off-road courses, amongst the small track list), NASCAR doesn’t even have a full event like in the real world (500 miles or so), and doesn’t even support the maximum amount of cars on-track (but I guess that’s acceptable with the hardware standards of the day), Endurance (for A-Spec) doesn’t allow driver switching, and other race leagues have very vague attempts at inclusions (German touring, F1, Karting, GT500, etc.). Standard cars and tracks are UNACCEPTABLE. The point of having a game on next-gen hardware is to show that you have next-gen content – so having cars and tracks that look like they were taken straight from a PS2 and placed on the PS3 is just wrong. More tracks needed weather and day/night cycles. Copying and pasting cars that atre only different via badging is also unacceptable. It makes the game inconsistent in terms of quality. The paint system isn’t too great. The engine sounds are inaccurate and too “clean” sounding. The tire grip is too high, at least for racing tires. There’s other grip issues as well. Don’t make me bring up blocky shadows. Or long load times. Or poor servers. Or locked-on SRF. Or the small track list. Or the very few cars with race mods.

      PD was over-ambitious with GT5, and made a lot of promises they couldn’t keep. Rather than focus on certain oarts and make them more thorough, they tried to put as much content in as possible – content over quality, breadth vs depth. You may not have issues with that many problems I just listed, but let me tell you, MOST do. So, we don’t want another GT5 in that aspect.

      GT5 WAS a good game. Excellent physics, good car list for what was premium, anyways, tracks that had day/night cycles and weather looked AMAZING too, especially SS Route 7 in the rain. Photomode is probably the best in any game ever. The lobbies in GT5 are probably the best use of online racing (aside from the lack of matchmaking and poor quality servers) that I’ve seen – where you can free-run, set up and even TEST your car before you race. For what IS very through, is great. BUT, that isn’t the entire game. The entire game is NOT excellent, and much of it gets very bland or thin at times. With that past games, everything supported it’s self in terms of content, and it was a complete product. Everything was meant to be there, and it was awesome throughout. So, yes, GT5’s physics ARE revolutionary, and what was thoroughly done is excellent. But it isn’t an amazing game over-all.

      These “expectations” you speak of are the expectations that GT5 was to at least live up to the consistent quality standards of the past games. Not to have thin and unsupported content. In fact, there were things promised for GT5 that didn’t even MAKE IT into GT5, I believe a livery editor and engine swaps being one of them – there is an image, and I can find it if necessary.

      Am I saying PD are bad developers? No. But they WERE over ambitious with GT5, and made many statements to tell us that we would NOT get the kind of lackluster content that we did. It wasn’t so much the expectations we had, as it was the statement s made by Kaz and PD – they were EXPECTING to have a complete game, but they didn’t have enough resources to make it happen within a good timeframe.

      So, we don’t want another GT5. we want a new GT game that lives up to the true, consistent “GT standards”. Not hype, only what we’ve seen from past games in terms of entertainments and replay value, and thoroughness.

      As for “Most likely though, GT6 will be much more polished than GT5.” – I would agree with that, though the menus will likely have a very different feel, and the grip will be adjusted quite a bit. It will be what GT5 was supposed to be – what EVERY GT game is supposed to be. The best of it’s time.

    8. HuskyGT

      @ LostRacer

      I can mention close to 20 things that can be changed in GT5 that would make a new and much better game and still work for the PS3. And I’m not talking about unrealistic wishes that simply make no sense in a console game.

      – The PP system works well for online and seasonal Events and it’s probably one of the best ideas in GT5. I can’t say the same for the level system in A-Spec. It’s was a terrible idea. Bring back the importance of licenses. That’s the essence of Gran Turismo.

      – Sounds. And I’m not talking about sound effects or how loud they are. I’m talking about cars sounding like they should. GT5’s sound effects if not great, I feel they are FAR superior than in ANY other game already. I just don’t want my eight cylinder car sounding like a six cylinder.

      – Get rid of B-Spec, or at least make it like in GT4.

      – Better tuning. Even some PS2 games although not as detailed and realistic had more to offer than GT5.

      – Customizing. Same as above.

      – A better and more detailed A-Spec. If they could do it in previous GT titles, they can do it again.

      – Getting rid of repetitive models and give each manufacturer a healthy amount of models to choose from. Not a childish and unrealistic amount, but at least 15 to 20 cars (were possible) per manufacturer sounds fair. One or two R34’s or one model per GTR gen and RWD Skylines. One Miata per gen… you get the idea.

      – All Premium cars. No standard crap this time to pose as a pathetic excuse to increase the number of cars. 600 Premium cars with each manufacturer having a healthy model list would make GT6 much bigger that the “1000+” cars in GT5.

      – A.I not braking in the middle of the corner. I’ve seen crappy racing games with better A.I than GT5.

      – Better choice of opponents in A-Spec events, like a multi-class series. So many cars in GT5 are basically useless because they are too fast or too slow and don’t fit in any event. The Super GT series is a good example. There are only events for GT500; what about the GT300 cars? Also LeMans GT classes, LeMans Prototypes and Group C cars; I hate it that they are mixed. Tuning or detuning a car is not an option since it kills the realism and purpose of racing a specific model that fits in a specific class.

      – Better choice of tracks in A-Spec events. American Muscle Championship with ONLY ONE race, and in Monza? What the hell were the guys at PD smoking?

      – Event Generator in Arcade mode with the ability to choose your opponents and their stats. So there is still stuff to do when you’re done and if you don’t feel like playing online.

      – Better prize system. GT4’s system is a good example of how things should’ve stayed.
      GT5 felt so prohibiting and restrictive for some reason. It didn’t feel like you owned the game.

      – Better Rally Events. Don’t get me wrong. GT5’s point-to-point rally events were great… only once, which was sad. This goes to the above point. Remember GT4’s Rally Events? Those were so much fun to do over and over again due to the amazing prize system GT4 had.

      – Manufacturer Events like in older GT titles.

      – Less priority to things that 90% of the players don’t even notice, like damage. I know it’s realistic and necessary, but really, how many of you guys crash? It’s a waste of resources. I’ve crashed like once every six months, and even so it feels so wrong if I think how much PD worked to make it possible, yet it looks so damn horrible. (although this is a very personal opinion and subject to discussion).

      – More day-night and weather cycle tracks. Imagine SSR5 during the day or Deep Forest during a heavy rain.

      – More old tracks. At least just two or three more of the classic tracks.

      There you have it. GT6 doesn’t need to have more to be more. All these changes would make the game far superior.

  14. omnibusse

    Tomorrow PD will announce GT6 to be released in 2018 to celebrate its 20th anniversary and we’ll get a first sneak peak in form of some stills ;-) Nope, 2015 of course!

    1. HarVee

      If I were PDI I wouldn’t specify a release date just yet, until I were 100% sure that I could meet that deadline.

    2. omnibusse

      Yep, me too. But it might be that they just show us tomorrow something they’re sure to release soon.

    3. Quakebass

      Which is why PD is either going to announce a date here, or at E3. Kaz specifically said he didn’t want to say too much about GT6, likely because of what happened with GT5 – early announcement, too much content to be put in, which led to delays, and still an incomplete product. We know GT6 is right around the corner. The release date will be shown VERY soon.

    1. tpark103

      We’ve been disappointed so many times lets hope that all the hype and attention sarounding

    2. TomBrady

      High expectations always lead to disappointment no matter how good something is.

      You can get interested, but don’t get excited. Go about your life normally, and don’t count the days til release, never do that.

    3. Quakebass

      Why? We KNOW GT6 is being revealed here. The trailer showed “GT_”, and now this stand-in website. Those with the most basic knowledge of web design know that this isn’t a mistake – this is a placeholder website for when PD start making publishing a on GT6. That’s why there aren’t links to it.

      As for hype ABOUT GT6, that won’t start for me until I see the announcement. Sure, I’m excited for it, but I’m going into it without any expectations other than it being FAR better than GT5 – on par with the rest of the series’ excellence.

    1. smskeeter23

      It does make some sense. If GT6 were announced as a PS4 title tomorrow it would put a sort of release timeframe out there and I really dont get the feeling SONY would be doing anything like that before E3.

    1. TokoTurismo

      I heard Jordan is at London now, had dinner meeting other media folk and Sony representatives. He’s so luck. :) You should check the GT6 forums, theres so much people there hyped up. :D

    2. HuskyGT

      I’m just so afraid of being hyped. You have no idea through the suffering we went through since GT5 was announced until it was released.

      I’ll let the game speak for itself this time. But I’m counting the minutes for tomorrow. Hopefully PD will make it worth.

  15. TheBlueHusky

    I want it for PS3 with the DLC cars from GT5 also there, mostly because I dont know if my THRUSTMASTER T500RS will be compatible with PS4.

  16. HuskyGT

    Still doesn’t mean much, although it’s good to see it in the official website. We still have to get the confirmation, then the possible release date, and then the long waiting.

    1. CyborgGT

      I’d rather they spend the time for a PS4 title, launch or no, after all the delays with GT5. It would kind of suck, imo, for this to be a PS3 game, only to be outdated in a few months when racing games hit the PS4. I still get a ton of use out of GT5, so I’d be ecstatic if we just got one last good DLC car pack.

    2. Pit Crew

      @ LostRacer ???… Thats always been a fanbase speculation but It won’t be for both. That would be a waste of time.

      @Cyborg GT. GT6 was being worked on since GT5s release, so your point or wish is rather mute.

    3. TokoTurismo

      @Pit Crew: “GT6 was being worked on since GT5s release, so your point or wish is rather mute.”

      ^ What he said.

    4. CyborgGT

      @ TokoTurismo: “what he said”…? Really? Way to contribute.

      @ Pit Crew: How is my point “mute” (it’s “moot,” by the way)? Taking more time to put out a quality game, rather than rushing for a last-minute release on an old system is never irrelevant.

    5. TokoTurismo

      @CyborgGT Got a problem? That’s what I thought. Oh and you don’t know what GT6 will be like, so DON’T think it’ll rushed…. GT6 is going on PS3 so keep QQing.

    1. BoneSawTX

      what ever you want to call it it’s holding a spot for something everyone knows is coming, yawn.

    2. BoneSawTX

      Not really, GT5 killed it for me but if i was to get excited it would be for the event tomorrow. That has potential to have some solid info.

    3. TokoTurismo

      ^ True. Don’t forget to aboard the hype train. ;) I’m thinking the event is going to be really good tomorrow. :)

  17. smskeeter23

    Awesome find!

    I may actually take off of work tomorrow to watch the updates come in and place a pre-order somewhere lol… hmmmmm that might be getting my hopes up a little “too” high :|

  18. Kite

    GT6 is all but confirmed now. Imagine a Vita version too. I’d finally have a reason to buy the damn thing.

  19. Guardian

    Misread the title and thought it meant they had a screenshot of a GT6 menu.

    Either way, great news, thanks for posting it up Jordan. :cheers:

  20. LVracerGT

    Don’t worry guys, in a few hours PD will announce they’re not ready to make an announcement because Kaz needs more time.

    1. Pit Crew

      Yeah… after awhile these cynical “cracks” on what Kaz and PD will do and say gets old. Time to refresh the material as its bland and quite unconstructive.

  21. forzaturismo

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
