Was Gran Turismo 7 just leaked by GameStop?

It’s been about 7 months since the latest instalment in the Gran Turismo series, Gran Turismo: Sport but fans are all hoping that the long-awaited Gran Turismo 7 is somewhere in the near future. A post on NeoGaf today suggests that an announcement may be just around the corner…

[AspiringProGenji]

Oohh interesting! Hopefully it is true

[-Foxtrot]

I'm just glad they aren't counting GT Sport as GT7

I feel like they didn't want another GT Prologue so gave it a different name, I mean with GT Sport and that kind of subtitle I thought they were going to lean on being more of an arcade racer spin off to try new things but they never did it.

[S2Killinit]

I think GT "Sport" was meant to be a racer specifically targeted at competitive gaming. Thus the moniker "Sport" as in competition. But then they realized that people were hungry for a GT game that included single player, so they included one in it.

[rainslacker]

I think GT:S does a lot more than what prologue ever did. It was geared towards an online competitive racer. People's expectations were that it would be the next GT, and it really wasn't. Disappointing for those that wanted a new GT, but it is what it is.

I'd be happy with GT7 though.

[bouzebbal]

Many call gt sports GT7.

[indyman7777]

Gran turismo is the best racer. Don't hit me but I would like it if they take out the low powered cars and what feels like grinding, at the start. After that it is gravy! But it is by far the best racer ever!

[submarinna]

hope it's real!

[VenomUK]

We all know that after GT Sport a full Gran Turismo is coming. But considering the game hasn't been revealed yet Sony wouldn't have sent out promotional material to stores - there would be too high a risk of it being leaked. So, put this box art down to creative/BS-ing Gamestop staff!

[CaptainOmega]

Hopefully it's true..Sport added GT League but it's not the same as a proper career mode that is an RPG for cars.

Although GT Sport looks amazing and the cars handle/look/ feel better than the previous games, I think 7 needs a big update to its graphics engine. I think Sport is the epitome of a maxed out engine that hs been used for 3 main title games. The game needs a breath o fresh air in terms of how it looks and feels, (like going from GT 2 to 3).

imagine a Driveclub looking/sounding game but with GT's attention to detail and driving physics. It would be insane.

[The Wood]

Drive club was so underrated

[Movefasta1993]

terrible physics, gt always had better handling. Not suprised driveclub flopped.

[CaptainOmega]

@Movefasta

Well, your comment is troll level considering Driveclub was more arcade racer than driving sim,

[Movefasta1993]

Driveclub had terrible physics, there are many arcade racers with good physics like grid,forza,pgr and motorstorm. Driveclub cars barely have weight to them, the handling model sucks.It could have looked like real life and the devs still would have lost their jobs.

[FPS_D3TH]

Driveclub was great as an arcade racer. Not a simulation racing game whatsoever.

[The Wood]

Was never a sim. It was more of an arcade racer. Sony already have a sim. . DC had an emphasis on drifting for pete sake. . I appreciate it for what it was. . . It may have lacked content at launch but that doesn't bother some people around here if you catch my drift

[IRetrouk]

@move, it plays exactly like pgr4, are you sure you played it???

[nix]

GT Sports was amazing. I've never spent so much of time on online racing.. Ever. Considering I hate mp racing games.

Only sad part about the progressive level is that it came out so late that I already had better cars to race and I had so much of money that I really wasn't struggling like how I used to in regular GT games.

[NarooN]

Drive Club STILL looks absolutely jaw-dropping by today's standards. Imagine what that studio could've done with the Pro or a PS5.

[AmstradAmiga]

You think Driveclub would have looked that good if it had been running in 60fps?

[_FantasmA_]

Driveclub was amazing. It was supposed to be a fun game, not a realistic game. Looks sexy too. I like GT Sport, it's my first GT game. Midnight Club was the only racing series I liked and that paved the way for me to get into other arcade games like Project Gotham and then Driveclub. I will check out GT7 for sure.

[sizeofyou]

Do you think anyone who likes the game cares? Yes - 60 would've been great, but there was no lack of response and the sense of speed (with the amazing richness of detail) was incredible. I still drop in and out of it, leave challenges for friends.

One game I would've supported as "a service". Desperately wanted a season 2 pass that doubled locations and cars. Would still support it now!

[IRetrouk]

Gt sports game engine is brand new for sport, built from scratch for the ps4, its only been used by gt sport so far.

[sizeofyou]

Aren't the car models all done to 8K to allow enhanced inclusion in further releases (such as PS5/6/7!).
While I appreciate that GT Sport was more online focused, don't know why they don't release a season pass and develop Sport further for on and offline. I'd support a "defined" roadmap service that added tracks tournaments and cars in equal measure. Don't see the point of GT7 if they could add content to Sport.

Don't get me wrong, GT7 as a combine on and offline game on PS5 at some point would be a joy.
But again GT Sport PS5 "as a service" would better IMO!

[IRetrouk]

Yeah they mentioned that the engine can scale right up to 8k, i do think there will be a gt7, more traditional than sport but i dont think its anytime soon, loving sport so far, well over 100 hours logged on just the single player stuff, not been online once yet lol.

[porkChop]

Less than a year ago Yamauchi said GT7 wasn't even planned. So there's no way it's being announced soon.

[CaptainOmega]

"Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi confirmed in an interview with Japanese publication Game Watch that work on the next Gran Turismo instalment has begun. “[I] cannot talk about anything yet, but since the moment of releasing GT [Sport], I have started making the next GT,” Yamauchi said.

http://www.trustedreviews.c...

[yomfweeee]

Porkchop's point still stands. If it wasn't evened planned a year ago, it isn't releasing soon.

[porkChop]

And the point of your comment was?

“Gran Turismo 7 is not currently planned. All our studios are focused on Gran Turismo Sport and, once it is out, the DLC that follows afterwards.”

- Yamauchi, last August in an interview.

While the game is in development now, and started *after* GT Sport, it's been in development for 6 months or less. So, like I said, it isn't being announced any time soon.

[CaptainOmega]

*Announcing soon*. You don't know that. He could have downplayed GT 7's development so more people would buy GT Sport. It could be announced at this years E3 and release early with the PS5.

[Einhander1971]

I Agree the graphics are great but there’s always something missing they need to up the graphics engine. Drive club still outpaces it.

[Movefasta1993]

30fps, jesus christ people. GT also has twice the amount of cars on track.

[chaos-emeralds]

And forza has twice amount the cars again and still looks better. Plus the fact is has more tracks and dynamic weather.

[CaptainOmega]

Chaos, why isn't anyone buying Forza then?

[Aura7541]

@Chaos

Watch Digital Foundry's GT Sport vs Forza 7 video. GT Sport holds a candle to Forza 7's PC version on ultra settings and even exceeds it in certain aspects.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[chaos-emeralds]

The cars on GTSPORT don't even look or feel like they are on the track. My problem with it was that plus the road textures as well. I drive real cars, but I couldn't drive GTSPORT. Yes it looks pretty, but imo forza has always played and looked better. Drive club looks amazing and I enjoyed that for what it is.

[Zeref]

Yeah...but driveclub is 30fps... No racing simulator should ever be under 60fps

[Movefasta1993]

PLEASE be true. I want a real gran turismo game with a deep career mode and 400+ cars,i have no interest in gt sport

[Gazondaily]

A proper GT is what's needed.

[WickedLester]

GT 7! Launch title for PS5 (also available for PS4/PS4 Pro).

[TheUndertaker85]

What GT game has ever been on more than one console or space at a time?

If it launches for PS5 it will not be available on PS4 nor PS4 Pro. That would require either capping a product to PS4 specs that then would be far less impressive on PS5 or a stripped down experience on PS4 and Pro.

Then if both of the above turn out to be not true it would insinuate PS5 is destined to be weak and a small upgrade over even a base PS4. It’d be like a Pro version of the Pro.

[DarkZane]

There is a 99% probability that this is not real because they're still working on GT Sports. If it was real, it's not coming out anytime soon.

If it were to be a launch title for PS5, the PS5 would just wreck the next Xbox even more than it's already gonna wreck it.

[TheSplooge]

Yeah, it would wreck it so hard.
/s

Horizon is better than any gt game 😆

[MarineLineman]

Good thing we can play FH on PC if we’re ever interested.

[TheSplooge]

I doubt you even have a capable PC. Its just your guy's go to excuse these days. Funny thing is, i can play all those ps4 exclusives on PC as well.. Ahhh, sweet emulation and i dont have to pay a dime to play them 😉

[OffRoadKing]

The emulators that exist can barely run PS exclusives from five years ago. I like how you talk about other peoples "go to excuses" and then try a lame one of your own.

[TheSplooge]

Just throwing out facts. Not that i really do it. There's nothing worthy for me to play on PS. Singleplayer games bore the crap out of me 😬

[showtimefolks]

i don't think so GT:sports was built for now and later so expect some sort of an updated version on ps5 with more content

[81BX]

Good for fans of the series. The last one really wasn't on par from what I recall

[StifflerK]

I hope so, I haven't played a GT game since 5 (which put me off the series), but GT Sport was really impressive.
The next GT game that comes out with a proper offline mode will be a day one buy for me.

[Gamist2dot0]

I want the next Gran Turismo on PS5.

[IsaacMon]

Might be fake: http://vgboxart.com/view/72...

[zivtheawesome]

i didn't follow too closely, but by my understanding, someone seen this in his local gamestop and the gamestop employees explained to him they have reports that GT7 is coming soon (i think they said early 2019, but i kinda feel like this is too early). now these companies a lot of times do these things when they get reports of unannounced games and make a fake cover. there is a good chance that they taken this fake cover and put it on their boxes for pre-orders.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

E3 I presume

[Kiwi66]

But what will they have to show if it's only been in production for a short period of time ?

[Visceral89]

A cgi trailer. Kojima put out a Death Stranding trailer at e3 2016, super early in development.

[Destiny1080]

gt7 wont be out for another 5 years

next up is gt sport for ps5 looking photo real, followed 2 years later by gt7

[RosweeSon]

No doubt but it’ll be a year or 2 yet especially with the standard delays that come with the series end of 2019 me says towards end-ish of ps4 they did the same with Gran turismo 6

[OffRoadKing]

I'd be ok with that, make it a PS5 launch title.

[Prince-Ali]

No

[bluefox755]

Nice. GTS is already the best racing sim you can buy. I imagine GT7 would ramp it up to a crazy level.

[Internetratnik]

Add car destruction please. Otherwise its gonna be the same thing all over again

[OffRoadKing]

That topic has been discussed to death and its been pretty well established why they dont do it. I'm not saying I think it shouldn't have it but just that its been explained why it doesn't and most likely never will, outside of some crumpled bumpers and cracked windows.

[ILostMyMind]

Usually, people who complain about this don't play the game.

[Mr Marvel]

Please be true!

[terstomp]

I don't think Sony needs another GT for the PS4. I would rather updates and improvements to GT Sport as it is a great polished title already. Releasing GT7 would halt the improvements to GT Sport, and sales and online racing would be split between the two. Sony should put effort in designing GT7 for the next gen PS5 with a new engine.

[dj3boud]

E3 is also around the corner!

[OffRoadKing]

Just couldn't get into Sport so a genuine GT game would be great but I'll temper my excitement until we have something more concrete, maybe from E3.

[ILostMyMind]

For the average time of the PS5, for sure. GT Sport came to stay.

[Nodoze]

If it is online only, count me out. Gran Turismo Sport's ABYSMAL save system wiped out my entire garage after months of playing. Polyphony has NO business making online only titles.

[terstomp]

Agree online saves and having a server connecting to play single player is not necessary.

[Enigma_2099]

What? Did someone think there WASN'T gonna be another Gran Turismo?

[Helsleycopter]

CLICKBAAAIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT

[jerethdagryphon]

Oh please be true

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Truly interesting
