Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi comes clean and spills the beans on PS3 Gran Turismo.

After Gran Turismo 4, Polyphony Digital went straight to work making PS3 Gran Turismo. Or so we thought. It appears that the development team aren't quite ready to show us what they've been up to and will be working on a proper next-gen sequel for quite some time. GT HD will be released "soon after the PS3 launch", according to Yamauchi, but it's not quite the real deal.

Taking the cars and tracks from Gran Tursimo 4, GT HD will be super charged in visual terms and will take full advantage of the hard drive and online play. But,essentially, it's a better looking take on Gran Turismo 4 with some much anticipated online play modes. Kazunori Yamauchi has also included the bikes from the recent PS2 racer Tourist Trophy, meaning you'll be able to race super bikes against muscle cars.

There's no doubt that GT HD looks great and will no doubt be THE game to play online on PS3 but it means the next instalment could be a long time coming. After all, the first PS2 Gran Turismo took over a year to appear after the launch of PS2. We'll be covering future Gran Turismo developments from the E3 show floor and give you a hands-on GT HD report just as soon as Kazunori lets us challenge him to an online game...
