Gran Turismo Series

Ars Technica had the opportunity to spend some quality time with Gran Turismo Sport at the PlayStation Experience this past weekend. Not only getting a first-hand demonstration of the stark contrast of GT Sport’s HDR from series creator Kazunori Yamauchi, but scoring some seat time with the game’s dedicated VR mode as well.

Although we’ve finished sharing the direct-capture GT Sport videos, we haven’t touched on the off-screen recordings from the general public that attended the 2016 PlayStation Experience. Possibly one of the earliest among them provides more information on several aspects of GT Sport. Darwin Albano, a 2012 GT Academy USA finalist, shared interesting footage showing new in-game menus, new performance statistic bars for each car and more sub-groups for the road-biased Gr.N.

HDR, or High Dynamic Range, has been a hot topic within the gaming community in recent months. With compatible hardware, video games, and video content on the rise, it is quickly becoming the de facto standard for high-definition viewing and perhaps rightfully so.

During day two of the 2016 PlayStation Experience held last Sunday, president of Polyphony Digital Kazunori Yamauchi held an interview, focusing on virtual reality and achievements so far accomplished within the game.

There’s never too much of a good thing and we’re continuing to use that mantra as we bring you even more direct gameplay footage from 2017’s upcoming GT Sport. We’ve had a look at the Nürburgring, Tokyo Expressway and Brands Hatch so far but this latest video takes us down and dirty at Fisherman’s Ranch.

The 2016 PlayStation Experience held this past weekend brought us the new GT Sport 4K trailer, which confirmed a handful of new models in Polyphony’s racer. One of these was the road-going Honda NSX, the sleek successor to the legendary NSX of the 90’s. Though no racing model was spotted in the trailer, the latest find hints that one could just appear in GT Sport.

After months of off-screen gameplay, our patience has been rewarded at PSX 2016 with direct capture videos of GT Sport in action being provided by Polyphony themselves. Yesterday, we focused on clips from the Nürburgring as well as Tokyo Expressway, abut today we have footage of both the Green Hell and the venerable Brands Hatch in glorious 1080p, 60fps.

After months of near-silence, Polyphony Digital showed off a fair amount of new Gran Turismo Sport content this past weekend at PlayStation Experience 2016. The event in Anaheim played host to a new, 4K-enabled trailer, and a massive collection of screenshots.

We’re now comfortably into day two of PlayStation Experience 2016. Yesterday, to kick of the weekend, Polyphony Digital unleashed the first 4K trailer for Gran Turismo Sport, showing off all types of cars racing around the game’s circuits.

PlayStation Experience has kicked off in sunny Anaheim. Gran Turismo fans were treated to the brand’s first 4K-resolution footage today with the latest GT Sport trailer. The two-minute video showcased a handful of new cars — more on those later — as well as a closer look at the range of time (and weather) variations players can expect of the title in 2017.

If you’ll allow us one cliché: Christmas is coming early for select PlayStation gamers this weekend. The Sony-hosted PlayStation Experience is about to kick off in Anaheim, California, where over 100 titles will be playable, many before they’re available on store shelves.

Last month, Polyphony Digital employees descended upon Las Vegas for the 14th Gran Turismo Awards. While Kazunori Yamauchi himself was not present — he was presenting London with the world’s first look at GT Sport utilizing PS4 Pro and PSVR — the party was just as large as it has been in previous years. You can see for yourself up top.

Gran Turismo fans attending PlayStation Experience 2016 this weekend are in for a special treat.

Polyphony have pulled the trigger on the latest Seasonal Events for Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events are a combination of time trial and drifting challenges, testing your mettle at a variety of racing venues. Whether it be non-race equipped or tuned machines, or GT300-class racing machines, this week’s seasonals appeal to them all.

While the yet-to-be-released PlayStation 4 entry in the Gran Turismo franchise had already been confirmed for Sony’s big year’s end event in Anaheim, California next week, its whereabouts were unknown – that is until now.
