Over at vg247 John Koller, SCEA's director of hardware marketing, hinted at the possibility that Gran Turismo 5 could hit more platforms. While I can only assume he means a PSP or PS2 version, here's what Koller had to say about developer Polyphony Digital when pressed about the release date of the upcoming racing sim:
“Ultimately, they are a developer who makes a lot of their own decisions, but we are looking at GT5 across all platforms, just to see what makes the most sense.”
When poked further about how long we'll have to wait for GT5 he added:
“Well GT5: Prologue’s out. Seriously though, there is really nothing we can really say about it, other than it’s a franchise we would like to continue. So, other than that, we don’t really have any announcements regarding the game at this time.”
At this point does anyone care when the newest Gran Turismo comes out? Even as a fan of the series I'm starting to get a little tired of the smokescreens that get thrown up any time this game is discussed. As a flagship franchise for the PlayStation 2 it's starting to get a little weird that we haven't seen much of it this far into the PS3's life-cycle. Sure, Prologue was a nice teaser, but even with that game's regular updates I still feel pretty jipped for what seems at this point like an expensive demo. Then again, maybe that's just because I have a barely used Logitech G25 Racing Wheel sitting at home.
