Gran Turismo for the PSP after all!

Posted on Apr 14, 2008 01:44:31 PM

Even before the PSP’s release, it was marketed with a few pictures of Gran Turismo Mobile (these remain the only pictures available, like the one pictured above), and so we expected the game to be one of the PSP’s first hits. A good three years later and Gran Turismo Mobile is still on our wish list. One of my favourite parts of Gran Turismo is spectacular cars. I’m from Coventry and in Coventry insurance alone on these cars would be nearly as expensive as my rent. That’s why Gran Turismo remains my best chance of driving cars like these.Aside from a piece of news earlier this year assuming the game had been cancelled because Gamestop ended their presales, actual news regarding the game’s development has been scarce. Now Kazunori Yamauchi has released some well needed information and ended fears the game might never be released.

He was quoted in an interview by EuroGamer.net as saying the following:

We had been developing the PSP version, but the problem was that the PS3 version took much more time and effort than we had first imagined. So that’s been delayed - I don’t think we’ll be able to make the end of this year for the PSP version, but we are working on it.

So the three year delay will become four years, but at least: the game is in development and on the way! Of course, the delays were once again the fault of the PS3…
