Not long after its controversial unveiling of the new digitally downloadable Gran Turismo HD, Sony has canned the idea.
The title has now been renamed GT-HD Concept and will be available as a downloadable demo from the online PlayStation Store from December 24th. Developer Polyphony Digital has now begun work of the complete next instalment of the series, Gran Turismo 5.
No time frame has been put on the release of the title, though Polyphony CEO Kazunori Yamaouchi’s claim that further concept demos might be on the way suggests the wait might be a lengthy one.
He also claimed that the decision was taken as response to the lacklustre response to the game at E3.
