Polyphony Digital spent $60 million on Gran Turismo 5
Have you been wondering why it’s been 5 years since a Gran Turismo hit the scene? Well, according to Polyphony Digital that’s exactly how long it’s taking to develop Gran Turismo 5, not to mention the fact that it cost about $60 million.
News comes to us from Gran Turismo 5 developer Kazunori Yamauhci who was questioned how much money it cost to develop the highly anticipated title. After answering the question he let us know that the title required that much money and this much time to “get it right”.
So, it looks like we will be seeing a very very polished game when GT5 makes its way onto store shelves sometime next year.

First official Gran Turismo 5 screenshots released
If you thought you’ve seen previously seen screenshots of Gran Turismo 5, you’d be wrong, as they were screenshots of Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Lucky for you, Polyphony Digital has released what they are calling the first official screenshots of the actual game which we’ve included in the blow gallery.
As you might have expected, they look like screenshots of Prologue but they aren’t, they are of Gran Turismo 5, get it right.
Gran Turismo 5 getting simultaneous worldwide release?
Gran Turimso 5 has been in development seemingly forever but that’s to be expected considering the amount of effort Polyphony Digital is putting into it. While we have yet to see a solid release date, one could only expect that the game hit North American shelves sometime after it dropped in Japan.
Thankfully, Polyphony Digital’s Kazunori Yamauchi recently sat down for an interview to speak of the issue where he was quoted to have said, “its release is not too far away – it will be after the PSP GT release – and, most likely, it will be a simultaneous worldwide release.”
Most likely, huh? That doesn’t sound too promising but it can at least be assumed GT5 will be released in Japan and North America very close to one another.

The game’s been in development for what, like 3 years now? And then back in April of last year Polyphony Digital went ahead and released Gran Turismo 5 Prologue to hold gamers over until the actual release hit store shelves.
Well, from the same convention Gran Turismo 5 was announced at 3 years prior (E3) comes the first official trailer showcasing the game.
Don’t expect any gameplay footage but definitely expect ridiculously awesome graphics. As for the release date? Still unannounced.
Gran Turismo Café opens shop in Japan
It was recently made known that Polyphony Digital, developer of the popular Gran Turismo franchise, has officially opened the first Gran Turismo Café in Japan.
Featured in the café is food, obviously, but other than that there are three “play booths” featuring Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. There’s no pictures of the actual establishment so all we have to go by is the above sketch.
Good food and a few races of Gran Turismo? Let’s hope these things come Stateside.
