Racer sequel and handheld outing for franchise are both still in the works, confirms Polyphony Digital
Kazunori Yamauchi, head of Polyphony Digital, has confirmed that Gran Turismo 5 and Gran Turismo PSP are both being developed, despite little being heard of the titles since they were first revealed.
Speaking to IGN, Yamauchi said: “There’s no real plans that we can discuss just now, but production is moving forward.” The studio boss also stated that the PSP version will be released after Gran Turismo 5.
Polyphony Digital and Sony released Gran Turismo 5: Prologue earlier this year in March, which helped the huge franchise pass the 50 million unit sales threshold since the series first launched in December 1997.

Awesome
I really enjoyed the GT5 Demo, £17.99 well spent I say. So I'm very excited to hear that BOTH of them are coming out! I recall recently reading an article in PSM3 '10 Games you'll never play' and GT5 PSP was one of them.
GT5 will be a big one for PS3, not that either the xbox or PS3 need more great games, the market is flooded at the moment!
Re: Awesome
was GT4 portable a complete and utter lie then?

@2: How can you imply such a thing? ;)
We all saw those screenshots... You don't think Sony would show something that wasn't actually real game footage do you, to lead people on like? :D
Hopefully, all this time spent on GT5 will iron out the flaws from GT5P, because that was a shocking, so called "next-gen" title. I can honestly say, I don't think I have seen scripting in a driving AI system... ever. Even going back as far as Full Throttle on the Speccy, or Revs on the BBC and C64. Although, Revs was by the legendary Geoff Crammond, now there's someone who could teach Yamauchi a thing about "racing" games.
But it was just lap after lap of... same car, same mistake, same place, same outcome. It was like playing an old-school shoot-em-up where you had to learn the patterns to avoid the enemy.
There's going to have to be one hell of a lot of work done to convince me to spend money on it, because I feel like I wasted £20 on GT5P. Nice graphics (when they weren't slowing down), shame about the game.
