Gran Turismo still set for PSP

New handheld racer still in the works

Sony Worldwide Studios big wig Shuhei Yoshida has reaffirmed that Gran Turismo is still in development for the PlayStation Potable. The game was first mooted several years back.

Speaking to Eurogamer.net at the Tokyo Game Show, Yoshida was asked where the game was at: "Good question! It's in Polyphony Digital, they're working on it."

Polyphony's other projects have apparently caused delays to the PSP release.

"They have been working on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and Gran Turismo 5 for PS3, so they've had to focus on finishing up Gran Turismo on the PS3 side," he offered. "That's been making the PSP development a little bit slow."

Yoshida wouldn't be drawn on a release date.
