Polyphony Digital’s Kazunori Yamauchi says that the kart racing in Gran Turismo 5, where many racers learnt their trade, was in fact for GT6.
The studio ”were actually saving” the go-karting for Gran Turismo 6, but info ”leaked out” so they decided to ”just put it in” GT5. Out November 3rd.
”This is something we were actually saving for Gran Turismo 6,” Yamauchi-san revealed, talking about GT5’s inclusion of kart racing, ”but the information leaked out so we decided we would just put it in this one.”
He also talked about the B-Spec mode where players direct a team of drivers in races instead of controlling them personally, and talked about the Course Maker for creating new tracks. There’s a 3D photo mode also. B-Spec will be treated equally as A-Spec.
Gran Turismo 5 releases exclusively on PS3 November 3rd in Europe.
