Gran Turismo Sport Won't Have Dynamic Weather

You'll have to set conditions before the race.

The next entry in the Gran Turismo franchise won't have dynamic time-lapsing or weather.

In an interview with GTPlanet, CEO of Polyphony Kazunori Yamauchi confirmed this news over the weekend.

Yamauchi said: “We opted to not have the transitions in the race this time in order to raise the framerate and the quality of the image *during* the race. So the user will be able to set that before they enter the race. So you’ll still be able to have night races, morning, races at dawn, dusk, and so on.”

This news will disappoint fans who enjoy the ever-changing nature of Gran Turismo races, but the switch to more constant conditions will apparently improve the technical quality of the game. There will be 19 tracks (including dirt tracks) with 27 possible layouts, and you'll be able to have up to 20 cars on the grid.

GT Sport was announced back in October, and it'll be out on November 15 in Japan and North America, and November 18 in the UK.
