Gran Turismo Sport, Polyphony Digital’s PlayStation 4 debut that arrives this November, will see one of the key features of the series in recent years dropped, with dynamic weather and light conditions no longer playing a part.
Turn 10’s Forza Motorsport 6 came in for some criticism when its introduction of weather and light conditions wasn’t dynamic, the Xbox One exclusive opting instead for pre-baked scenarios as will be featured in Gran Turismo Sport, but other games have been able to include the feature in recent years.
The news was confirmed to GTPlanet during this past weekend’s 24 hour race at the Nurburgring, where Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi was participating in a BMW M6 GT3.
Gran Turismo Sport shifts the focus of Polyphony’s series towards online competitive racing, taking its cues from the world of motorsport in the process, and while it’s perhaps falling short of expectations right now it at least looks like a typically eccentric outing for the long-running series.
