Kazunori Yamauchi, the creator of the infamous Gran Turismo racing franchise, told about a possible 2015-2016 release date for the next series entry, also adding that the PlayStation 4 hardware will make the development process much less painful than the last installment.

“Everything will be running naturally,” Yamauchi told Games TM. “PS3 was much, much more difficult. The high quality of data that we have being rendered on the PS4 I think is going to make an incredible difference.”

Yamauchi also said that he and the team at Polyphony are aware of what they couldn’t accomplish in their last attempt, and that the next installment will be on pace with modern game design.

“For GT7, myself and my staff have a clear vision: to do everything we couldn’t do in GT6,” he said. “We want to make it very Gran Turismo. By that I mean it’s going to be a game that matches the very era that we live in, in 2015 or 2016.”
