Kazunori Yamauchi never forgets. Not even a whisper has been uttered about the elusive Gran Turismo for Boys venture since its original 2004 announcement for PS2, but it's still coming, Yamauchi insists.
If you hadn't already forgotten it ever existed, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the game had been canned years ago, but GT creator Yamauchi has told CVG that it's still on the way, but not a standalone game as previously thought.
"We're hoping to make that a feature within Gran Turismo 5," he told us during the recent interview, while admitting that he and his team are so busy with GT5 for PS3 that they have little time for other projects.
Gran Turismo for Boys is thought to be a simplified version of the typically brutally realistic GT gameplay, aimed at making the game accessible to younger ones.
So skidding would be impossible, the game will break for you, and Bob the Builder is in the driver's seat, we presume.
I assume the name will be changed before launch though, right? I mean really, "for Boys"? You can't even have f*cking Girl Guides any more because of equality laws.
A decent arcade mode would be fine. GT ios great for realistic racing but if it could just have a more arcadey racer section it would please everyone and offer a great deal of diversity.
I'm fairly sure that it goes completely against what Gran Turismo is about.
If it brakes for you does it also steer for you?! Is it just a video of a car going around a track, for goodness sake what is the point in it being a game if it takes no skill or player involvement.
I'll tell you one reason I havent got prologue, I got feed up playing the previous titles with a joypad, never had the right set up or room for a decent sterring wheel, so before the main games come out, hopefully I will have one of those nice logitech ones.
Yes I know ive gone of subject, however maybe the Child mode will be easier with a joypad. Or maybe Im just rubbish at driving games?
