Gran Turismo PSP coming before PS3 version
Some time next year, then?
Game site The Magic Box is reporting that in an interview with Best Car magazine, Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi stated that the PSP version of the game would be released prior to the appearance of GT5 for PlayStation 3.
Officially, no one currently knows exactly when that will be, of course, with expectations ranging from March to July to Christmas next year (although given Polyphony Digital's track record, a 2009 release wouldn't be out of the question). This obviously makes dating the PSP version a little tricky, but 2008 would seem logical.
After all, it's not as if the team hasn't had time to work on it. Seen as a title able to help support the concept of PSP given the then-incredible strength of the licence, Gran Turismo Mobile (then Gran Turismo 4 Mobile) was 'announced' around the same time as the handheld, with mock-ups of the game box and UMD featuring alongside the PSP at video game exhibitions prior to the hardware's Japanese launch.
As such, it is arguably the most delayed title for Sony's handheld to date.
Naturally, we'll bring you more when we know more.
