Gran Turismo dev looking to expand their horizons?
Posted on January 2, 2009 by Nick
During the end of the year interviews from Japanese gaming magazine GeMaga, Polyphony Digital president Kazunori Yamauchi spoke about his company a bit in this ever changing industry. Of course, he talked quite a bit about Gran Turismo. The first interesting bit is that GT5 may not make it out in 2009 afterall, he says they 'would have wanted GT5 to come out in 2009'. 2009 is definitely still the target time frame, but they may not make it. He says its not due to any lack of effort, with the excepetion of 17 overseas business trips, the studio has been 'confined', hard at work every day.
He then lets loose a bombshell. He says that while Polyphony is exclusively in charge of car games, the company wants to make a new, distinctly different game. So could Polyphony be expanding their horizons and entering some new territory? Polyphony's notorious attential to detail is unparalleled, so a new game from them would definitely be interesting.
