PlayStation is celebrating its 30th anniversary and for that, Sony intends to highlight its most popular franchises. Among the oldest still standing, we count Gran Turismo: Sony has just lifted the veil on My First Gran Turismo.
Classic car
You are probably aware that at the moment, Sony is celebrating thirty years of PlayStation with a host of proposals. For example, the PS5 Slim and Pro as well as the PS Portal and the DualSense were entitled to their 30th Anniversary Collection version; For their part, all PS5 players can recently opt for the theme of their favorite console (PS1, PS2, PS3 or PS4) with even the legendary PSOne intro at startup. And then there are other gifts, like My First Gran Turismo, just revealed.
Gran Turismo is a huge pillar of the racing video game and even of the video game landscape altogether. An emblem whose first episode was released in 1997 which, at the time, redefined the 3D genre. So to speak, the game even ranks as the best-selling title in PS1 history with 10.85 million copies. In total, eight main episodes were released as well as several secondary games, with more than 80 million sales (in 2018, suffice to say that the figure must have increased since then). Still, yes.
First steps
If you have never had the opportunity to play the saga or you are an eternal seeker of pretty bodies, Sony has just lifted the veil on My First Gran Turismo, an experience allowing you to immerse yourself in the concept of the series with gentleness and passion. “We’ve developed an intuitive experience that will allow everyone to get behind the wheel and master the basics like cornering, braking and accelerating.”declares Kazunori Yamauchi, president of Polyphony Digital and mastermind of Gran Turismo, on the PlayStation Blog. “Whether you're looking to enjoy the simple pleasures of driving, or are embarking on a quest to master your art, My First Gran Turismo has everything you need to develop your skills and experience the thrill of sports motorized.”
We can therefore drive several cars – eighteen in total – with three racing events, three time trials, three Musical Rallies and other events and challenges on the three circuits of Kyoto Driving Park, Deep Forest Raceway and Trial Mountain Circuit. If you have PSVR2, you can even play it in virtual reality.
Of course, this “game” will be completely free and you will be able to download it from the PlayStation Store from midnight on Friday, December 6. Enough to give you ideas about purchasing a certain Gran Turismo 7.
