Let the Waiting for Gran Turismo 6 Begin

With Gran Turismo 5 pushed back yet again, the last thing exasperated racing fans likely want to hear is that Polyphony Digital is already working on Gran Turismo 6, yet that’s precisely the case according to head Gran Turismo mastermind Kazunori Yamauchi.

In an interview with Autoweek before the recent SEMA automotive show in Las Vegas, Yamauchi–san confirmed that they are indeed working on Gran Turismo 6 in some capacity, though that capacity is likely quite limited at present, as he also admitted that it was far too early to be thinking about Gran Turismo 6.

Congratulations, so...what are your specs?

As has been tradition, Yamauchi-san also confirmed that the winner of the 2010 Gran Turismo Award handed out at SEMA would make an appearance in a future Gran Turismo game, most likely Gran Turismo 6. The winner of that award ended up being a custom 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, so expect to see it about 10 years from now (we kid), in Gran Turismo 6 on the PlayStation 4.

Yamauchi-san also stated that the reason behind the most recent in a long line of GT5 delays was simply fine tuning and perfecting of the driving experience. Despite news of the delay, it was not all doom and gloom on the GT 5 front. Later in the show, Yamauchi-san stated that Gran Turismo 5 had gone gold, and game discs were currently in production.

Finally...

So it appears we can finally expect Gran Turismo 5 in the near future, and then get to do it all over again with Gran Turismo 6. That is of course, if we have any hair left to pull out by then. So are you still pumped for GT5 after all the delays? Can you wager a guess as to when we’re likely to see GT6? Let us know your thoughts below, and look forward to our review of Gran Turismo 5 in the near future.

Gran Turismo 6 not on ps4! -- March 9th, 2013
SCEE Senior Vice President Michael Denny seems to have accidentally revealed that Gran Turismo 6 is coming to the PlayStation 3 and not the PS4, as originally thought. When asked about the remaining games for the PS3 by Silicon Republic, Denny mentioned Gran Turismo 6 as one of the remaining releases among a list of other confirmed games.

As IGN points out, this makes sense for a number of reasons, chief among them that Gran Turismo 6 has been worked on since 2010, long before PS4 development kits were available, and that it now makes sense why Driveclub is the PS4's launch racing game and not Gran Turismo 6.

Gran Turismo 6 will most likely be officially announced and dated at E3 2013 and will see release in Fall 2013 before the launch of the PS4.

Update - August 2, 2012
Gran Turismo 6 on PS4 Gran Turismo 5 has been in stores for awhile now, and creator Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed that Gran Turismo 6 is on the way. There may not be Gran Turismo 6 until the PS4 however. Yamauchi was speaking at a China Joy event on Thursday and hinted that the next series would be on Sony's next generation console. He was quoted as saying: “We’re always aiming for the latest technology and latest expression.”. The statement is vague, however, it shows that a next generation console could be in the works.

lol GT6 will take longer than it took for GT5 to be released. That announced that game before PS3 was available and it took years for them to release it. Maybe casue they were working on 6 when they weren't even half done with 5.

I think the GT6 will be release 2015 or 2016 by looking at the time between GT4 and GT5, but PS4 will definitely support PS3 games with a little goodies like better graphic new controls or even better 3d support... Since new controller, new gaming support can be build anytime, I think Sony should definitely release the PS4 next year and make it to be upgradable, something like its graphic card is upgradable and can be easily replace that new graphic card will be likely to release every 2 years.
