Gran Turismo Sport is an upcoming racing video game developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 4 video game console. It was announced at the 2015 Paris Games Week and is the thirteenth game overall in the Gran Turismo video game series. The game is a separate, standalone entry and is not part of the main numbered series.
Gameplay
GT Sport will include three game modes: "Campaign", "Sports Mode" and "Arcade Mode". Both offline and online racing will feature in the game. The game has been described as different from the "Prologue" titles seen in the past in the series and will feature more content. The game will not be a full-featured release and is not considered part of the main-numbered series.[1]
FIA Gran Turismo Online Championship
The FIA aims to formally ratify the "Gran Turismo Online Championship" at the next World Motorsport Council meeting. Two championships will be held simultaneously throughout the year: the "Nations Cup" where players represent their country and the "Manufacturers Cup" where players represent their favourite car manufacturer. Once ratified, the FIA will manage the series directly as they would with any of their other race series. The winners of the championships will be honoured at the FIA's annual prize-giving ceremony in Paris.[2]
Live E-Sports Events
The Nations Cup and the Manufacturers Cup will have "live" components similar to the regional finals held in the GT Academy competition. Organised "online events" are planned to be held on a regular basis.
PlayStation VR Support
Gran Turismo Sport will be fully compatible with Sony Interactive Entertainment's upcoming virtual reality headset, PlayStation VR. The experience while playing was described by series creator Kazunori Yamauchi as, "very good and very natural".[3]
Development
The game is expected to have much improved gameplay elements due to the enhanced processing power of the PlayStation 4.[4]
The game will be the first in the Gran Turismo series to support Sony Interactive Entertainment's upcoming virtual reality headset, PlayStation VR. A beta is scheduled to take place in the first quarter and second quarter of 2016 before a full release later in the year.[5]
