“Where it makes sense to develop a title for PS4 and PS5 - for Horizon Forbidden West, the next God of War, GT7 - we’ll continue looking at that.” In a recent Q and A on the PlayStation blog, Head of Playstation Studios, Hermen Hulst, alluded to a different future for Gran Turismo 7: Perhaps the extra thinking time has caused a change of tune from Sony regarding PS5 exclusivity.
Makes sense, but again, Covid has caused hardware supply chain issues for next-gen consoles and interrupted the rollout of these state of the art gaming machines. Sony has said that they “believe in generations” - meaning that there’s a philosophical imperative to cut ties with the past, providing new console buyers with a new experience. At this stage, maybe Sony (and the entire world) was working under the assumption that this whole pesky Covid thing was going to last just a few months, right? Like so many other games, the development of Gran Turismo 7 hit the skids, slid through the kitty litter, and crashed into the concrete barrier. When the announcement trailer dropped in June of 2020, it was looking very much like a PS5 game. But the question of which PlayStation is a little more intriguing. On one hand, the answer to this question is dead simple: you’ll need a PlayStation. Still, you’d have to be quite the curmudgeon not to enjoy the mouthwatering list so far.
Here’s the full list in alphabetical order: The Gran Turismo 7 car list is a mighty impressive one - with 41 at the time of writing - spanning vintage beauties, all-out muscle, and futuristic concept cars. Of course, the lifeblood of any Gran Turismo game is cars and lots of ’em.
