Back in May 2016, we got our first look at the Peugeot Vision GT car. The Peugeot L500 R HYbrid was exactly the kind of madness we expected. Now, for the launch of Gran Turismo Sport, Peugeot is updating the L500 with a newer version dubbed the “L750 R HYbird”.
As morning broke yesterday in the UK, a new “Gran Turismo” experience fell into the hands of thousands. The GT Sport demo has been unleashed onto the public, bringing with it a preview of a “new era” for the franchise.
Polyphony Digital gave eager players a small gift this weekend. While the features of the new limited-time GT Sport demo won’t go live until tomorrow, the game will still load up before that.
The surprise announcement of a new GT Sport demo is a very exciting development. Previously, only those invited to the closed beta phases got the chance to go hands on but that will change next week.
Well that’s a welcome surprise. The Gran Turismo Sport demo is now available for pre-load in certain regions, and while the features are still locked until Monday morning, the in-game “Attract Mode” videos have revealed some goodies early.
The GT Sport media floodgates are cracking open further and further. The latest batch of screenshots give us our best look yet at some of the newest additions to the game’s lineup.
Gran Turismo Sport will feature more than 160 cars when it releases later this month. All of these vehicles fall into specific groups, to ensure close racing. A new video posted by PlayStation explains in detail what each class will contain and what to expect in GT Sport. Let’s break down each group and discuss what they will bring to the game.
Tokyo Game Show may have wrapped up but gameplay continues to filter through from the event. GT Sport had a good presence at the show that included a live broadcast race and a playable demo on the show floor for attendees to try out. A further stream of the game has given us a look at the Porsche 911 GT3 RS in action.
GT Sport is set to land in players’ hands on October 17 and the marketing for the game is starting to push forward. This is especially true in the UK, as the title has started to appear in various mediums.
As the big three racing games of the year find their way into stores, it’s inevitable comparisons will follow. Forza Motorsport 7, GT Sport and Project CARS 2 all look like they will offer good gaming experiences but the competitiveness in the genre means we have to compare these titles. YouTube channel MotogamesTV has put together a video pitting GT Sport against Project CARS 2.
As a public figure in the gaming industry, Kazunori Yamauchi is a frequent attendee of gaming shows and expos. The next event on the GT series creator’s docket is Gamers’ Day in Saudi Arabia.
It turns out Kaz and company meant it when they said GT Sport was intended for anyone aged 7 to 77. Japan celebrated Senior Citizens Day on September 18, and the Japan Activity Association marked the occasion by using the upcoming racing sim to help seniors stay sharp.
