Polyphony Digital chose to abandon the planned full version named Gran Turismo HD, which was previously announced as Vision Gran Turismo at the E3 2005 (not to be confused with the later Vision Gran Turismo concept car program) and was first displayed during the Tokyo Game Show 2006 and was scheduled for a 2007 worldwide release to focus on developing Gran Turismo 5 instead. In November 2006, shortly before the release of Gran Turismo HD Concept v2.0, Polyphony Digital director Kazunori Yamauchi officially announced a revision in the product strategy where "Gran Turismo 5 will be given priority". Among the planned contents he introduced an "iTunes-like" download service and various download packs including additional cars and tracks, advanced AI or car damage, all of which being compatible with the future Gran Turismo 5.įootage from game shows suggests that GTHD Classic would have been essentially a high-resolution port of Gran Turismo 4, with motorcycles from Tourist Trophy and number of vehicles on the track expanded to 16. Kazunori Yamauchi confirmed the full version of Gran Turismo HD was scheduled for a December 2007 release in Japan.
The first four cars were available in Gran Turismo 4 but didn't appear in late GTHD trailers, though the Ferrari was featured in Gran Turismo HD Concept. It featured HD renders of five cars: NISMO Skyline GT-R R-tune (R34) '99, Honda S2000 '99, Toyota Castrol TOM'S SUPRA '00, Ford GT '05 and the Ferrari 599 '06. Two versions would be simultaneously released, the Blu-ray Disc based " GTHD Premium" (GTHDプレミアム) and the PlayStation Store downloadable " GTHD Classic" (GTHDクラシック).ĭuring the Tokyo Game Show, Polyphony Digital unveiled the first Gran Turismo HD teaser.
