In it, Chatani also asked Yamauchi what he believed the next 50 years of development would bring. By answering this question, the developer not only touched upon the future of Gran Turismo, but also expressed a desire to work on other projects., including making the virtual world indistinguishable from the real one.
“Well, I intend to further develop the Gran Turismo series, which will move in the same boat with the automotive culture and industry. At the same time, I would like to work on something else.
I think that one of the missions of video games is the implementation of “digital twins”, where the virtual environment will reproduce the real world. On the other hand, I also believe that the reality that people can feel does not have to come from something truly real. I intend to tackle this issue vigorously.
I would like to take on the responsibility of creating a world where people will feel more real than in reality, regardless of whether it comes true in Gran Turismo or not. “
