Gran Turismo PSP is coming, says Sony News
PSP News by Ellie Gibson
Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed Gran Turismo PSP is still in development - even though it's been years since the game was first announced.
When asked where GT PSP has got to, Yoshida said, "Good question! It's in Polyphony Digital, they're working on it."
The reason for the delay, according to Yoshida, is that Polyphony have been busy with other projects. "They have been working on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Gran Turismo 5 for PS3, so they've had to focus on finishing up Gran Turismo on the PS3 side," he explained. "That's been making the PSP development a little bit slow."
So how much longer is there to wait? Could we see GT PSP next year, for example? "I cannot comment," said Yoshida.
He was also quiet on when we're likely to see anything of the next title from team ICO, simply saying, "I'm in conversation with the team." Presumably a conversation that goes "Have you done it yet?" "No sorry."
Yoshida's comments came in an interview with Eurogamer at the Tokyo Game Show. Read the full article to find out what he thinks about platform exclusivity, the New Xbox Experience and more.

Rpt81, you are kidding with the fact that GT2 spread on 2 discs is posing a problem...Right!?
The homebrewers managed to solve the problem for a lot of the PS One games a long time ago and the mighty Sony it's unable to do the same?! And, like someone mentioned, the full fledged GT5 it's not finished yet.... |

GT1 & GT2 on PSP isn't all that - they look terrible against something like Colin McRae 2005 developed for PSP.

They homebrewers didn't solve it, Sony did. They updated their emulation engine to have a swap disc function in it.
What they do need to do is allow you to sacrifice some buttons in games if you want to use the analogue nub as that. At the moment it just maps the dpad to it which is cack. I read ages ago that Polyphony said GT5 first, GT PSP afterwards. This just seems to be a re-iteration of that intent. |

The output rate at Polyphony is a joke - they either need to staff up or shape up - we all remember the mocked up GT4 screens and UMD long before the PSP was out - turned out to be, wait for it, that's right - yet another Sony smoke and Mirrors show.
Now lets assume Polyphony were given a 12 months heads up on the PSP - that means they have had 4 and a half years to make a game for it - and have produced nothing, zip, zero. And the AI is a constant joke - having not improved much since the series started. Hats off to them though - if people are happy to keep waiting and waiting - why bother working hard if you can afford not to? Seems the 5 hour week must be all the rage at Polyphony. |

I suspect the problem at Polyphony is that they're all perfectionists, when it comes to car detail at least. That's all very well but with such a popular franchise people just want to see an end result. This goes for the PSP version and the PS3 version. Just set a deadline and stick to it no matter what!

Even if it ever does come out, it's pretty much missed the boat really, hasn't it? It probably needed to come within the first 24 months of the PSP's launch for maximum impact.

Good point, Darren. Although given how reportedly pedantic Polyphony are on these matters, they probably want to handle it in-house.
Still, getting another studio with a history of racing titles to handle the port, like, say, Sony Liverpool, Evolution or Bugbear might have just been the quickest and most efficient means. |
