Sony Computer Entertainment Japan yesterday allowed a lucky few a first glimpse of Gran Turismo 4, the long-awaited driving sim from genre masters Polyphony.
According to reports surfacing overnight, the game is currently 50% complete, with most of the tracks built, and most of the cars, albeit without bespoke applied physics fully rendered. Trial Mountain and Apricot Hill were shown.
Furthermore, developers on hand spoke of, for the first time, Gran Turismo 3’s dirty secret. “We have taken great pains to ensure the AI in Gran Turismo 4 will be very much improved,” one was heard to say. “This has been at the forefront of our thinking and we are pleased with the results so far.”
Expect to see a glimpse of the game at next year’s E3, hopefully with all its online functionality in place.
For the record, Sony has already confirmed that GT4 will indeed be an online racer.
