As if almost 1,000 licensed cars and 70-odd circuits wasn’t enough to get racers excited about Gran Turismo 5, a spokesperson at developer Polyphony Digital has confirmed to Everything for Gamers – officially, so it seems – that the final product will feature a comprehensive track editor:

‘Yes [the game] will have a track editor. You will be able to rebuild a track from scratch or edit the tracks that are already put in Gran Turismo 5.’

Unfortunately, representatives were not so loose-lipped when asked about territory release dates, responding with ’sorry, we can’t give out any of that information at the moment’.

You can imagine our surprise when we read that, can’t you?

Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi confirmed GT PSP back a few months ago but further confirmation that the game is in development.

Speaking from TGS, the head of Sony Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida has stated that they are working on Gran Turismo PSP even though it has been a few years since the game was first announced.

Yoshida attributes the delay to Polyphony Digital working on other game titles namely being Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Gran Turismo 5 for the PS3. He also provided a timeframe for the game to be released after Gran Tursimo 5 makes it debut which means PSP owners will have to wait another 2 years.
