Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi believes that, in the best case scenario, Gran Turismo 7 could launch for PS4 in 2014, as the new console is quite easy to work with, as opposed to the PS3.

Gran Turismo games delighted many PlayStation fans over the years, but PS3 users needed to wait a few years until GT5 appeared for their platform, as Kazunori Yamauchi and his team at Polyphony Digital encountered quite a few problems trying to get the game on that device.

With the future Gran Turismo 7 for PS4, Yamauchi told Top Gear that, in the best case scenario, the title will appear in 2014.

"We don't want to take too long on Gran Turismo 7," Yamauchi said. "Best-case scenario? Next year. In GT6 we really had to tune the software 100 per cent to maximize the PS3's architecture, but of course the PS4's hardware is much better, so I think the overall quality of the game across the board will be boosted when you come to play it."

As of yet, however, Sony wants to launch Gran Turismo 6 for the PS3 next month.
