Jordan is the owner of GTPlanet and created the site in 2001. He has closely followed the Gran Turismo franchise and the world of sim-racing for over two decades.
Gran Turismo 7 is just over a month from releasing on March 4, and Sony kicked off the game’s marketing blitz today with a half-hour “State of Play” video dedicated to the title. Before the big show, we also had the chance to participate in a virtual media event and round-table interview with GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
I am currently competing in SCCA Solo and I wanted to do something more entertaining with my GoPro footage, so I decided to start filming my runs in a “Gran Turismo In Real Life” theme. Here is the first video, which I released yesterday…
As the title states, I’m curious to know what console you’ll be playing GT7 on. My opinion is subject to change once we see footage on both consoles but I think I’m sticking with PS4 at launch.
Gran Turismo 7 pre-orders officially opened on Tuesday, and if you reserve your copy early, you’ll be rewarded with 100,000 in-game credits and a “3 Car Pack” of bonus content including the Toyota Supra GT500 ’97 (Castrol Tom’s), Porsche 917 Living Legend, and Mazda RX-Vision GT3 Concept Stealth Model.
A week on from the big Gran Turismo 7 reveal and launch date announcement, GTPlanet got the chance to sit down with Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi for an extensive one-on-one interview on the latest title.
We asked it after the first Horizon was revealed. We asked it after the second Horizon was revealed. We asked it after the third Horizon was revealed. We asked it after the fourth Horizon was revealed. And now we’re asking it again after the fifth Horizon has been revealed… Where do you think the next Horizon should be held?
What I’m about to do is rank every mainline console GT game from worst to best in my opinion, then I’ll try to see where I would place GT7 based on what we’ve seen so far about the game. It’s an interesting way to see how your expectations are going compared to other titles of the series, so I really would like if you did the same as I’m going to do now. So here we go:
Earlier this year, GTPlanet reached a major milestone as we celebrated our 20th anniversary, and today we have reached another as we launch one of the most significant updates in our site’s history.
McLaren has taken the covers off its newest supercar overnight, revealing the “Artura” in full for the first time. It’s a relatively familiar shape on the outside, but the Artura is packed with new technology, including a brand-new engine, and based on a totally new platform.
BMW has shown a lot of interest in sim-racing lately, with its biggest commitment coming in the form of a special partnership with Fanatec that lets you go sim-racing with an actual M4 GT3 steering wheel.
