The official Gran Turismo websites for Europe and North American regions will be getting a major overhaul on Wednesday, May 8th.
As some may recall, Polyphony Digital’s Asian websites were updated last month, offering a new look while removing some of the site’s older content, press assets, and screenshots.
Meanwhile, on the European PlayStation Blog, blog manager Fred Dutton gently teased readers, hinting the company has “some intriguing game announcements planned” this week.
While there is no specific reason to believe the website’s update or Mr. Dutton’s comments will bring with them Gran Turismo news, excitement and anticipation is growing around the web and here in our forums.
Stay tuned, and keep a close eye for more news or formal announcements as they develop.

Can’t even check My Record! :(
WTF?!? Now i can’t filter my Friends laps on the Seasonal Events TT/Drift!
GT6 on PS3 it’s hyped Internet MYTH as a Spec III. Has anyone seen even one screenshot or trailer for ps3GT6? No? well ))))___ PS4 4Q 2013/ GT6prologue 2014 believe me.
That’s because of PS3+GT5 packs.
GT6 is going to release in PS3, Yamauchi said PS4 it’s a clean sheet, and they have done lot of work in GT6 for PS3, they are not going to throw it to nowhere.
^ Excatly. +1
Actually I don’t believe you saw what Michael Denny said…If you did you would understand that his comment “Hyped” the mentality, GT6 would maybe, “maybe” release on PS3, though he implied it was definite.
Prologue=BFD
I hope this intrigueing game announcement doesnt end up being the next seasonal event.
Cool, now i can’t find the season events ranking
There is a special 15th anniversary of Gran Turismo event happening next week on the 15th of May, at Europe located at Silverstone. Check the forums for more info, there’ll be announcements of Gran Turismo’s future (GT6 possibly).
I really hate to say it but I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if this whole GT6 thing was just a load of hot air. If they announce anything it may very well be Gran Turismo Vita.
Guys… it’ll be another Motor Toon. Hahaha
This is like some of that updates annoucements for GT5 from PD, like: “gt5 will have two update this week!!!!’ That is just two commons updates for “hacking” speed cars.
Ok so this is all what the guy from the eu blog said “Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow. We’ve a busy week in the offing, with some intriguing game announcements planned. On that note, back to Soul Sacrifice!”
In no way does that state anything about a GT game being announced so why is everyone expecting a next GT game announcement, I’m not.
Just because we want a new GT game and it’s about time. Announcement soon, release in autumn. That would be three years after GT5. I think that’s why we’re hoping for a new GT soon.
Patiently waiting :)
it’s just a site update. wot
No news about anything. Hooray! ?
Hoorah!
New site it’s on air again!
Gran Turismo 6 trailer on PS4
make it happen SONY come on
Their website is currently under maintenance… Let’s wait then!
here they go building the hype just like with GT5 I predict they push the realease back at least 3 times–YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!
Well said
Yep. And once it does get released, everyone will be wondering to themselves “It took them this long to create this?”.
Exactly. And people still expect a current year release? Come on guys, get with it…
Its May 8th here and nothing yet……
Why will they show anything at thhis hour, really?
*this
Surprise me PD!!!
Yeah, Impress me PD…!!!
The website update may have nothing to do with GT6, and mostly to do with GT Academy.
It’s Sony announcing new games that holds the likelihood of a GT6 announcement. I don’t see why Sony would make announcements on new titles, and include a GT-based competition…
I really wish is something related to GT6 or even one last (but highly unlikely) update with DLC for GT5.
But how much you all want to bet it will be something regarding GT Academy? If that’s the case, I hope GT Academy at least brings a new track or a new car.
I love the new layout, less clutter, easer to navigate, and more to the point. Just check out Hong Kongs if u don’t want to wait..
Woo hoohooooo! Can you feel the tension? I know I can. I can feel it in my plums. Gettin all swollen and blue. With the light dancing just off them. Folks gettin ready to put them in their sack lunches.
– will Ferrell
lmao!!
I’d laugh if it was the last guardian for ps3
Lol or Littlebigplanet 3
You two hope it’s either those two games, do you. >:)
Last Guardian? yes. Littlebigplanet 3? Nope lol
It’s 12:32pm in Australia. PD should send the news by the time here :)
I almost got into GT Academy finals and was only 20 places from it. So of course its more important than anything else because you have the opportunity of a lifetime to become a professional big-time racedriver.
So for those that do not think its important. You obviously don’t even know what its for.
Oh it has to be GT6. :)
I really hope so as well, Toko :D
It just gotta be, you know? I mean, the offcial website itself is getting changed up, that just screams out GT6 right there. :)
A bit late. PS lifestyle reported this almost a week ago XD
GT6 with MOAR SKYLINES :P
What is wrong with you man!!!
*Yawn… Old GTR joke is old…
There’s a picture of…a corner! Maybe GT6 is just around the corner???!!
*slashes wrists*
Why won’t they just say something?
Because E3 is almost here? Tomorrow really IS almost here??
Well after reading a comment posted here I feel the next GT game will definetely be on PS3 but it won’t be GT6 it’ll be gt6 prologue. I’m 90% sure. It just makes the most sense. Let’s hope I’m wrong. Why would they dump their best game on a soon to be forgotten system. But gtaV is in the same boat except they’ve told the world when it’s coming out. Gt6 has not. Don’t get your hopes up to high GTs have become few and far between.
I don’t get why they can’t just tell us what they’re going to tell us. It’s not like they decide 2 seconds before they update the sites…

——————————————————————————————————————————-
So what have the Nordic Locales done to be discontinued ?
:(
Hac vagens
I hope it’s GT Academy 2013!
Its Gran Turismo 6!!! They even hint at it in the above picture. Notice how the needle in the RPM Gauge is from “5” to “6”. That almost confirms the game for me.
If you looking at the speed dial pic (3rd from the left at the bottom) then thats between 5 & 6 so I’d say GT6 Prologue :) Other than that cant really see where else they are hinting at in the pic.
These are all DLC packs… Is this one different from the original…? I’m pretty sure that is the speed test pack…
If it IS different, then I’ll take you as credible.
It’s always been like that. Nothing to get excited about.
^ That’s what I thought; though I never checked myself.
“We will of course continue to bring you the latest information regarding Gran Turismo after the site renewal.”
Such as…? What news that players DO care about (excluding DLC) do they mean anyway? Are they planning to finally start giving us information on game progress? How hard can it be to present e.g. the planned Main Menu look? We haven’t heard a single word on GT6 yet.
13 pieces of news (only 5 regarding GT5) in 2013. 13 pieces of news in 5 months, this is inexcusable.
^^^^
Shouldn’t be to surprised we havent heard alot of information about GT6 progress or lack of screenshots etc. Kaz said he would only discuss it when the title was close to completion. He bragged about GT5 to anyone with a journalist license who would listen for 3 or 4 years, all the while giving the impression it was some of their (PD) best work.
Why should developers discuss the progress of one of their games that hasn’t even been officially ANNOUNCED…?
We know it exists, but it hasn’t been “officially” announced. Nearly all information we know about GT6 is through leaks.
Can you give an example of another major console or PC developer that gives status updates of their games prior to their announcements…? Hardly inexcusable, considering that GT5 was announced too early, giving too much hype. Kaz wants as little to be known about the next game as late as possible, so he can give the most accurate information he can.
As for the “We will of course continue to bring you the latest information regarding Gran Turismo after the site renewal.” – it’s merely stating the site’s services will continue. Information on upcoming maintenances and updates, GT Academy, the list goes on. It doesn’t matter that “most people care about DLC”, news is news, and PD will post all information necessary. Just as GTPlanet does with seasonal event updates, weekly rewinds, updates, maintenances, ANYTHING steadfast and related to GT.
I think we’ve seen many updates and videos of GTA5. Yes?
Yes. GTA5 is a game that has been OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED though – GT6 hasn’t “officially” been announced; no trailer, nothing. Only leaks and a few statements from Kaz on what he’d like to be doing with the game. We only know GT6 as an official project because Kaz claimed that it’s development had already started before GT5 was released. Many games have been like that, and NONE have had status updates like what Madertus is talking about. Developers don’t just go “Oh, hey, we’re _____ far along right now, and we’re currently working on ____.” – when they have a nearly complete product, they officially announce or unveil it at a convenient point, like The PS event, E3, or this little showcase for more new PS games.
Rumors flying of GT6/PS3 announcement tomorrow. So much tension you could…
Wee I’m so exited New paint colors Wauuu That is going to save my day LOL NOT!!!
This is exciting::
In 3 weeks we will have the possibility of driving Grid 2 – And To be honest’ It’s going to rock the playstation 3 – I watched a Xbox 360 teaser, and that looked amazing – so if they keep there promise of making it into a real Sim racer – I will spend lots of time with it – and Then GT6 can develop in silence and I will jump onboard when it’s here and ready . also looking forward to Project Cars that too will probably be released before GT6 I hope :O)
New Track Where did that come from ?
Lol… +1. I just said that!
I hope it’s about GT6.
As long as GT6 is on PS4 will make it worth while. if its on ps3 that means gt7 wont be out til 2017 2018 maybe.
Yup. It’s the price we pay for dedication. I understand folks get bored afyer a year or two… but what they don’t understand is the result of things released in a rush. Relax, sit back and enjoy what you got. It’ll come (new GT) soon enough. Or play somethin’ else? FM, NFS, PGR, Grid… all have something GT may never offer. Skittles are deliciously wonderful ;)
4-5 years after GT6…? Why…? If GT6 comes out this year, it will only be THREE years after GT5. GT5 so far is the oly game to take longer than 4 years to develop, and that was when PD was UNBELIEVABLY over-ambitious with what they wanted to put in the game, AND were using complicated architecture. We know the PS4 is MUCH easier to develop for, and that PD likely had early access to dev kits and knowledge of the coding environments.
What on EARTH makes you think it will take GT7 5 years to develop, when it’s only happened ONCE for ONE game…?
yeah…new paint and a new track..I really do hope they make GT6 a worthwhile iteration.
Some GT Academy thing -_-
GT6 it is (on PS3 exclusively)
This will be good. Very good.
Did he say that these announcements would be coming at some point this week? Forgive my ignorance…I just need confirmation. : )
Yes GT6… GT6 Prologue
lol probably
I don’t play abbreviated GT ;)
Hell no. No prologue this time. GT6 or nothing.
GT6 or bust!
Hope it’s Gran Turismo 6.
GT6, GT6 that’s the announcement GT6.
GT ACADEMY 2013 HERE WE GO!
I sure hope so
This.
Hopefully it’ not GT Academy related and it’s something really important instead.
If its GTAcademy news Im Ready. Bring it on Kaz. I want every Academy Car I can get (Earn) in my collection before I hang up GT5.
I almost got into GT Academy finals and was only 20 places from it. So of course its more important than anything else because you have the opportunity of a lifetime to become a professional big-time racedriver.
Well, good luck for you this time then.
No longer care until any particular product is actually available for purchase :)
+1. :tup:
Me either… and won’t bitch about missing out on special cars ;)
I listen to ya BJ – I’m also in the face of – Don’t care until it’s here Period – anything else, will make me look like a donkey’s ass sooner than later :P
Hope it’s something good!
Maybe it’s this year’s GT Academy?!
Sounds interesting. I wished, rumors were true. But on the other hand, the Japanese version already got that makeover weeks ago and therefore it might just be a coincidence.
I am extremely excited for this new information lets hope it’s good!
Tourist Trophy 2! :D:D:D:D
God yes! Imagine a wheel or er handles designed for TT2?!
God yes!!!
They should just add bikes, AMA Superbike and Moto GP to Gran Turismo Because i think chasing cars is fun and you can drift and drag a bike to. I love both an it would give me something to do other then drive the same cars at the same online events theres only so much you can do with GT5 an cars. TT wasn’t a very big game so they could definitely add it into gt6. They added carts so why would bikes be any different the physics wouldn’t be to much to figure out. But we need Supermoto’s Sportsbikes Superbikes 250cc Class bikes an definitely the Ducati Hypermotard<- Awesome bike to ride.
^ The problem with that is the mixture of both bikes and cars… There’d pretty much be two separate games, as I doubt PD would cross-play bikes and cars. There isn’t a form of motor sport (aside from things like the Baja 1000) that has this sort of class combo… And I don’t think GT6 will be that thorough with rally features (It would be great if it was, though…) And it COULD also make GT6 into a quite violent game…
By the way, I’m not saying it’s a bad idea, just one I don’t see PD going through with.
Speedboats! Aerobatic planes! Forklifts, steamrollers, and crop-sprayers! I’d love to pilot the big yacht that appears at Monaco, you know the one…
I Agree with you Quakebass i don’t see them doing it either but even just for the online aspect it would add something to the game more so in the drag lobby’s then anywhere but us hardcore TT fans have been long over do for a second game and with games like Moto GP going downhill after 08 we don’t really have anything for 2 wheel games, Even if they just added bikes with no races in a or b spec i’d be fine with it i mostly just want them for online play anyway. But If they could make rally feel better then it did in games 20 years ago i’d be happy GT5’s rally aspect is complete garbage. An if they added Pikes Peak now that it’s all paved we could have fun with that. I hope the fix the invisible walls around the tracks when i spin off the track i want to be out in the field where i should be rather then smashing into a wall that doesn’t exist.
