So far my predictions around GT6 have all been off the mark and maybe I’m getting too excited for the upcoming racing domination but in my defence Sony keep teasing and it’s driving me insane.
However this must easily be the most obvious tease of the lot, Sony have just released the following video that teases a 15th of May announcement.. hey that’s today.
The video starts off with an absolutely incredible looking racing game and then cuts to a screen counting up from GT1 to GT5 and ending with GT_…. I’m sure we can all guess what should be in place of the _.
What’s more surprising is that today is the 15th Anniversary of the Gran Turismo series, on one hand that is a very long time for a video game series and yet it feels like the game has been around much longer than that.
Gran Turismo is a videogame legend and while it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and GT5 was a bit of a fiasco before it was released, it is still the title that moves consoles better than any other.
When you think of mainstream games there are not many that match the pulling power of Gran Turismo.

GT5 and GT5 Prologue wasn’t that bad considering it sold over 14 million copies. How many did the last Forza game sell?

Just wondering how good Forza does as I read a lot of articles where they compare the two. Welcome to the comments section by the way.

I played both, so from a personal point of view Forza was better because all the content was available from the beginning. In GT5 there was more scrounging around and much of the great stuff was hidden behind the scenes. GT5 did however have licenses which taught you to handle the cars better, which Forza 4 didn’t. There was also a great customisation and class-based system in FM4 which GT5 lacked. Maybe some new lessons will have been learned in this new game?

Thanks. I try to be informative 🙂 Also – from a realism point of view GT5 was the better game. Definitely potential going from GT5 to GT6.

I hope this is the “real” Gran Turismo, and I hope even more that we are going to get to see the actual gameplay.
This will be huge if Sony can bring GT6 to the market on launch day. HUUUUUUGE!!!!
