GT4 Mobile not canned

[wraggster]

News from Eurogamer

Some good news for Sony on a day they'd otherwise rather forget - Polyphony Digital has "categorically denied" reports that it's canned the PSP version of Gran Turismo.

Recent reports based on a translation of a Famitsu Weekly article suggested that Gran Turismo 4 Mobile, which has been trailed since before the PSP even came out, had been put on indefinite hold.

But that's rubbish, according to the developer. "We can categorically deny all speculation which suggests that PDI is not developing a GT franchise game for the PSP," the company said in a statement to Eurogamer today.

"In fact, we've reached the stage where a GT4 equivalent runs on the PSP hardware. However, our main focus at present, is the development and release of a GT title for the PS3 platform."

"Once this has been completed, we can return to, and jump-start, development for the PSP version. In regards to release dates and details, we'll be making further announcement, at a later date."

GT4 Mobile has been delayed repeatedly since it was announced ahead of the PSP's launch. Originally down for a late 2004 release in Japan, it then slipped to spring 2005, and since then it's become a bit vague.

Of course it hasn't been "canned", being "canned" suggests that they were actually developing it in the first place.

A sign of how important for Sony is Ps3 against PSP.

While I'm not happy about this game taking the back-burner, if they are true to their word and have a GT4 equivalent running on a PSP, when the game is finally released, it should be phenomenal. A killer app for the PSP.

Besides, there will be plenty of awesome titles to tide us over in the meantime. The PSP is getting some really great games lately.
