The next generation of consoles is almost upon on. The competitors in the console race are the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett. We currently don’t have any idea of what each console will look like, but we do know they’ll feature much better specs.
One of the more interesting talking points about these next-gen consoles is what games they’ll support. Well, according to Sony, we now know a heavy-hitter in the racing department will be launching with the PS5. That game is none other than Gran Turismo. This racing series has been so iconic over the past couple of decades.
These games are true racing simulators, where gamers have access to so many phenomenal cars. You could spend months going through the catalog of vehicles and still find something new to test out on the tracks.
This game will be an exclusive for the PS5, too. That means Xbox Scarlett fans will have to shift their attention elsewhere as far as racing games go, such as the Forza series. This is huge news for those interested in getting the next PlayStation.
The creator, Kazunori Yamauchi, spoke on upcoming plans he and his team have for this PlayStation exclusive. Apparently, they have their sights set on VR. This sector of gaming has seen a bit of resurgence as of late.
Gamers are starting to pick up VR headsets — such as the PSVR — quite readily and immerse themselves in some fantastic worlds. Having a Gran Turismo VR experience sounds like a great idea. It would redefine the series in a lot of ways and let fans experience something truly novel.
It’s also intriguing to think about the possibilities of VR on a next-gen PlayStation console. It’s safe to assume that the processing power will be much better, which should lead to even better graphics for VR worlds.
Taking this approach would show that the developers are keen on keeping up with modern gaming trends, which benefits the gamers in the end. The graphics have always been pretty amazing in these racing games. Seeing them on the PlayStation 5 will be a dream come true for many.
It’s quite amazing to see the Gran Turismo franchise thrive for as long as it has. It’s a staple for many PlayStation fans. It only makes sense that it would debut alongside the official release of the PS5. Gamers are surely in store for some incredible racing experiences in the next few years.
