In a recent interview with TheGamer, Gran Turismo creator and Polyphony Digital CEO Kazunori Yamauchi talked about the design philosophy of Gran Turismo 7, and how it hopes to embrace a whoℱle new generation of fans into the world of car culture.
“Fans of the series who have been playing Gran Turismo for years ꦗmight find this new entry a little too explanative,” Yamauchi-san tells me, noting howꦆ he wants to make GT7 more approachable despite its status as a racing sim.
“But I want them to think about a new generation of kids who might be playing for the first time. The car world has a tendency to become a very closed society, they use terminology that only them and their peers would understand. For example, if you mentioned a 356, kids these days won’t know tha♒t’s referring to a Porsche anymore. Some of them might not even recognise a 911.
“We need to👍 convey this information to new potential fans in order to keep car culture moving forward. That’s not to say we won’t be tackling the depth and realism we’ve always focused on, bu🌼t we do have a big focus on accessibility in a way that takes in the new generation and makes Gran Turismo 7 approachable for both first time players and long time followers.”
Gran Turismo 7 will still be striving for realism and accuracy, but see🔴mingly won’t be afraid to slam the brakes and slow things down so those not familiar with the series can take it all in. It’s not the easiest balance to strike in a genre like this, but Yamauchi-san seems confident.
“We want players coming into Gran Turismo for the first time to be able to learn and understand what is a car, what is tuning, what settings do you need, what’s involved in a race,” Yamauchi-san explains. “In the past, we l♊eft it up to other media to provide that information before they started playing the game, but now we’ve realised that we need to understand and educate a new generation on what beautiful types of cars are being made around the world and what the𝓰 history is behind them. That’s how we’ve designed this new game.”
