Gran Turismo Sport Will Be Playable at Reboot Infogamer on November 8–13
October 31st, 2016 by Michael Leary
Aside from the recent news of Ayrton Senna
having a presence in GT Sport, details on the game continue to be far and few between since the
announcement of its delay. With November just hours away, it appears something may be on the way as residents of Croatia will soon have their own opportunity to try the game for themselves on the show floors of Reboot Infogamer.
Managed by the same team working on the Croatian video game magazine Reboot, the event has attracted attention from the likes of Blizzard, Activision, Warner Bros., and of course Sony — all eager to show their latest work. First spotted by community member
citroengt1, the gaming show has made an announcement on their
official Facebook page, revealing GT Sport will playable during the duration of the event at Sony’s PlayStation exhibit.
“GT SPORT on REBOOT INFOGAMER – Although the release of the new popular car racing simulator Gran Turismo is expected until 2017, in only 10 days on Reboot InfoGamer 2016, one of the biggest gaming shows in Europe, which occurs in Zagreb from November 8 to 13 you will be able to play exclusively on the Sony PlayStation show floor.”
Held at the Zagreb Fair in Zagreb, Croatia, the event will take place on Tuesday, November 8 and will conclude the following Sunday, November 13. Keen observers will note the PS4 Pro’s release date falls right in the middle of those dates (November 10), though it remains to be seen how much of a presence Sony’s new powerhouse will have at the event.
If you’re planning to drop by Reboot Infogamer don’t forget to share your experiences in our
Gran Turismo Sport sub-forum.
Hats off to citroengt1 for the tip!
PS4 Pro Event In London November 2–3 Will Feature GT Sport
November 1st, 2016 by Kyle Patrick
The PS4 Pro is due to land on shelves across the globe next week after
being unveiled back in September. As expected, Sony is gearing up with a press-only event focusing on the new hardware, and it kicks off in London tomorrow.
The news first came via German Youtube channel
Inside PlayStation in a video that has since gone private (
original link here). According to GTPlanet member
AKps3, the IP crew stated they would be getting hands-on time with the Pro and a small brace of titles. The original description accompanying the video had a brief list of which games would be available to test-drive:
- Horizon: Zero Dawn
- Days Gone
- Gran Turismo Sport
- NIOH
- Call of Duty: Warfare Infinite
If true, this will mark the first time Gran Turismo Sport has been playable on Sony’s new system. While many may have expected this —
especially after the delay to 2017 — it’s nonetheless exciting to hear it will be playable so soon. This also seems to corroborate the
comments from Sony South Africa about the game arriving with day one support for PS4 Pro.
The PS4 Pro’s extra horsepower includes an upgraded GPU and boosted CPU, allowing the system to render titles closer to true 4K resolution (most will use a form of upscaling). It should also provide smoother and/or faster framerates, which will be ideal for GT’s VR support.
Mark Cerny and various developers will be on hand at the event as well. It should be noted members of Polyphony will be in Las Vegas during the week, taking care of the
2016 GT Awards. We shouldn’t have to wait long to hear about what’s found in the event, though: rumours around the ‘net point to an embargo on PS4 Pro details being lifted on November 7.
Excited about the PS4 Pro possibilities? Head on over to the
GT Sport forum section to discuss this and more about the game with other fans.
Thanks to AKps3 for first posting the news!
