Here is the direct translation from the interview (probably not quite accurate, but here is what I've got) :
Interview with Mr. Kazunori Yamauchi producer "GT SPORT"
Finally mention "GT 7". The FIA licensing plan is "moving forward one step at a time"
Taipei Game Show After the stage event of "Gran Turismo SPORT (GT SPORT)" on January 27, which is the second day of the exhibition of 2018, a media interview with Mr. Kazunori Yamauchi, producer, was conducted, so I would like to deliver that pattern . As for the stage event, I summarize it as an event report , so I would like to refer to that.
GT SPORT" is updating cars and courses with patches, but are there any plans for new updates beyond cars?
Mr. Yamauchi: Currently it updates cars and courses. Then three of the GT league game mode race update. I think that will continue in the future.
- "GT 6" has many customized items, is there any plan to add the same elements in the future "GT SPORT"?
Mr. Yamauchi: The customization factor of "GT SPORT" is different from the numbering, "GT 6", or "GT 7" which may come in the future. I think the customization factor will probably be the next work that will be what Kitchin and all of you will want
- Many of the cars recorded so far in "GT SPORT" are also included in the previous work, but are you planning to add a completely new car in the future?
Mr. Yamauchi: That is it. There are new cars in updates that are released every month. We will continue to include new cars as well as past cars in the future.
- Multiplayer of "GT SPORT" is required to have sportsmanship like a real race, but in actual racing in the game, some users are not used to the game and comply with sportsmanship It is difficult. Are there any comments on this point?
Mr. Yamauchi: I saw the match between top players of "GT SPORT" at the venue today, but raced with almost the same quality as the top class real car race. If they grow up like a lot of "good drivers", I think that the world of "GT SPORT" will approach the real world of motor sports.
- How was the plan to be able to obtain an official license from the FIA?
Mr. Yamauchi: It continues as usual. FIA, and then communication with everyone with the car club continues, we are moving forward one step at a time. However, it is not easy to advance the program globally.
- I liked the "Tourist trophy" which was released at PS2. Is there no plan for a sequel to "TT"?
Mr. Yamauchi: Although I do not have any plans at the moment, I always hear about the sequel of "TT", so I do not know whether it will appear as a sequel to "TT" or whether a motorcycle will appear in "GT", but always There is a corner in the head.
- Although "GT" pursues reality, there are opinions that there is not enough for light users as entertainment. How is that balance taken?
Mr. Yamauchi: The behavior of the car, which we realized with "GT SPORT", physics is probably an advanced person, the advanced person here refers to a person who has actually run a car on the circuit But I think that even advanced people are doing a convincing movement, and at the same time I think that even people driving a car for the first time do not do anything different from imagination. I think that "GT SPORT" is the first time that I realized these two things at the same time
- VR mode is only single play at the moment, but what are you planning to do with multiplayer in the future?
Mr. Yamauchi: I do not have plans for Multiplayer at the moment, but I am planning to make time trials possible in VR mode with future updates.
