Sony's beloved racing franchise, "Gran Turismo," was set to make its debut in November with support for PSVR, but due to production delays, the game won't be released until sometime in 2017.

GT4 was delayed for a year and a half. GT5 Prologue came out in March 2008 and the full version of GT5 was supposed to come out in time for Holiday 2008. The full GT5 wasn't released until November 2010 after countless delays. GT6 was essentially GT5 with a fresh paint job, so only one or two delays on that. I expect Polyphony to have GT Sport ready for release for Holiday 2017. Maybe.

WTF. PS4 has been out for 2 years. Now PD are saying that we got to wait into the 3rd year before we get GT on Sony's premiere platform. Let's hope that PD are at least working on introducing something useful like a Damage System, rather than dicking about with more lunar nonsense, star fields, and a raft of Nissan Skylines. I've been a fan of GT from the beginning, but even I am finding it difficult to say anything positive about PD.

I couldn't find source references to those delays, but I was going to make reference to them.

Delays for Gran Turismo games are par for the course.

I know racing games aren't all about the graphics, but GT Sport (GT 7) graphics leave much to be desired. I got into racing games because of Gran Turismo and have been wanting GT's gameplay to be matched with equally stunning graphics ever since GT 3 & 4 on the PS2. I sincerely hope the gameplay trailer doesn't show what we should expect for the finished product.

Is my very accurate memory not good enough for a reference? :lol: But seriously, here's a good reference for the history of Polyphony delays with the GT series (note it's a year old link).

Unlike 3DTV, VR and AR won't be dying anytime soon.
3DTVs offered no discernable value over a standard TV. the effect isn't very convincing and the type of experiences you can get from a 3DTV are no different than a typical TV, despite the minor enhancement.
VR and AR are completely different. The experiences you can have with VR are not comparable in any way to any prior form of entertainment.
