Kazunori Yamauchi talks PSP-PS3 connectivity ideas for Gran Turismo |
Ó
We've reported before that a PlayStation Portable outing for the Gran Turismo series - known before as Gran Turismo 4 Mobile - is still in the works, but apparently fans will have to wait until Gran Turismo 5 is completed for Polyphony Digital to actually start development.
In an interview with Joystiq, Polyphony Digital's Kazunori Yamauchi outlined some of the PSP-PS3 connectivity ideas that they're considering for Gran Turismo on the PSP. One of these is letting people view replays of their racing experiences. Another is actually letting PSP owners race against somebody playing on a PS3. Said Yamauchi:
Even though the visual qualities will be different depending on which hardware they're on it would be nice if we could allow for that. Technically, we think we should be able to.
Yamauchi also mentioned a race manager feature - something that was included in Gran Turismo 4 B-spec. Here's what Yamauchi said:
You don't even need to steer the controller, you just set the car and let it go; you're managing it. Another example would be the PSP would be your management tool: give it input and give it instructions and the car would continue on with the race.
It's all just ideas, and until Gran Turismo 5 hits the streets, we probably won't be hearing any more about Gran Turismo title for the PSP, but the possibilities are quite interesting. More updates as we get them.

I'd love that last one for the endurance races. Being able to check on a race from my PSP would be awesome. Bonus points if I can do it over the internet.
Hm, so, change the B-Spec options on the PSP, while still having a fullscreen race view on the PS3? Hell yeah!
