Hype: Gran Turismo Sport Unveiled! (UPDATED Released Date & Trailer!)
Original story below:
Anyone following this blog knows that while I am a pretty big fan of Forza Motorsport, I have been waiting for a really long time for Polyphony Digital to finally announce the next game in the Gran Turismo series. It looks like that day is finally coming tomorrow! Gran Turismo Sport, while not exactly “Gran Turismo 7” will be unveiled during a special event in the UK tomorrow. I am not sure exactly what they have in store but its my hope that we’ll see some gameplay footage and at least a few hard details about the game (amount of cars, new tracks, new modes, release date, etc.).
Though with video game trade show E3 less than a month away I have a feeling some of the major tidbits will be held back until Sony holds its annual pre-E3 press conference in June. Either way I am pretty excited to see what is offered up tomorrow and extremely jealous of anyone that gets to be there in person! Luckily for me and the rest of us who won’t physically be there, the entire event will be live streamed on PlayStation’s YouTube channel at 10:30am PT. I’ve taken the liberty of embedding the video below so it will be even easier for you to find it tomorrow morning.
