GT4 Mobile Still on Track
Being religious Gran Turismo fans here at QJ, we can’t help but feel like yo-yo’s with the news that GT4 Mobile hasn’t been cancelled. With the news of the GT4 Mobile release date being slated as ‘indefinite’, many fans of the series have simply assumed that the game was cancelled. Developers Polyphony Digital has “categorically denied” rumours circulating around the gaming community that the title has been cancelled.
Some websites had taken a translation of a Famitsu article as evidence that GT4 Mobile had been cancelled, although we at QJ kept to the facts and said that the game had an ‘indefinite’ release date. “We can categorically deny all speculation which suggests that PDI is not developing a GT franchise game for the PSP,” the developer said to Eurogamer today.
“In fact, we’ve reached the stage where a GT4 equivalent runs on the PSP hardware. However, our main focus at present, is the development and release of a GT title for the PS3 platform. Once this has been completed, we can return to, and jump-start, development for the PSP version. In regards to release dates and details, we’ll be making further announcement, at a later date.”
Although the Gran Turismo port to the PSP hasn’t had the most smooth of transitions, it’s still nice to hear that a GT title will eventually come to the PSP – we hope. Who knows, you may be better off waiting for the firmware update with the PSX emulator for PSP and play classic Gran Turismo on that.
