GT CONCEPT GETS NAME CHANGE FOR EUROPE
Sony confirms what could be a major addition to the Gran Turismo series for Europe, along with a brand new moniker
15:03 Gran Turismo Next was confirmed for a European release by Sony today, although specific details and a release date are proving difficult to pin down. The product can best be described as an update of the Japan-only GT Concept, which sported five tracks and a slew of cars from the Tokyo Motor Show.
While actual content is yet to be finalized, there's a chance the game will include all of the tracks from Gran Turismo 3 itself as well as the new course from GT Concept: the Japanese release only had five tracks, four of which were from the full game. Yowser. In addition, as previously reported, the accompaniment of vehicles is likely to comprise of concept cars from European manufacturers.
As far as release goes, "quarter two" is as good as it gets at the moment, so realistically you're looking at a late summer or autumn release.
Plenty more on this soon.
