Gran Turismo PSP — Your Questions Answered



Posted by Chris Morell // Senior Specialist, Social Media



Last week we gave you 3 and a half minutes with Polyphony Digital’s Kazunori Yamauchi on Gran Turismo PSP. That’s not enough, you said! So as promised, we fired off your questions to the game’s US Producers, Chris Hinojosa Miranda and Taku Imasaki, and below are their responses.
Also, we know you have a lot of questions about Gran Turismo 5, and we’ll be calling for those soon. But for now, we’re just focused on GT PSP.

Could we expect any compatibility of Gran
Turismo PSP with Gran Turismo 5 (like Resistance: Retribution with
Resistance 2)? - TRIX_BOL
Polyphony has always pushed the hardware boundaries of every console
it’s been released on…and while this isn’t really answering your
question, it does leave it open for you to imagine the possibilities.
Is GT PSP going to have DLCs (such as new cars, tracks, etc..)? - TRIX_BOL
We’re planning on having 800+ cars right out of the box, which is
pretty much a lifetime’s worth of racing (I’m still unlocking cars from
GT4). With that sort of breadth and reach of options, having DLC would
be like tossing water into the ocean.
Will cars get damaged on GT PSP? - TRIX_BOL
Damage? No. 800+ cars, 35 tracks, on-the-go awesomeness, and a lifetime’s worth of racing, yes.
Will we see Porche, Lamborghini in the PSP version? - wbrinkman
Our car selection is pretty broad — there is a lot of candy, that’s
for sure — but as far as flavors, you’ll just have to wait a bit more.
Will there be a downloadable demo of Gran Turismo for the PSP? - grashopper
We wish we can provide one, but at this time, there are no plans. We are focusing our efforts on Gran Turismo and GT5.
It appears that the AI car count is 3 cars on track.
Counting you, there would be 4 cars in the race. Wouldn’t it have been
better to drop the framerate of the game from 60 to 30 and increased
the car count? - grashopper
We went through many experiments but came to the conclusion that
having three opponents gives you the best portable racing experience
while maintaining the Gran Turismo level of quality.
Cmon fellas…GT5 Prologue update? Eh, eh? Custom soundtracks? Maybe trophies, a lobby system? Screenshot function? - FoomMan
Sorry FoomMan, we’re around the bend and down the straight: the
team’s main focus at this point is making sure GT PSP (and GT5) are in
your hands.
