Next Gran Turismo Is A “Complete Form Of Gran Turismo,” Dev Says
The next Gran Turismo game is in development. It hasn’t been announced yet, but the CEO of series developer Polyphony Digital has now offered some high-level comments about it. Kazunori Yamauchi told GT Planet that traveling the world and seeing the various World Tour events has given him some insight into what should go into the next Gran Turismo title.
“Having done all these World Tours, it gave me the opportunity to feel the history of Gran Turismo,” he said. “It gives me pointers and hints of the things we should make sure that we do in the future of the series.”
Yamauchi plainly stated that a new Gran Turismo game is coming, confirming that “obviously we’re working on the next Gran Turismo already.” However, he wouldn’t confirm if it will be a new Gran Turismo Sport title or a sequel to Gran Turismo 6. Whatever the game is, Yamauchi said it aims to be a the “complete form of Gran Turismo.”
“I think the next title that we’re going to create will be a combination of the past, present and future–a complete form of Gran Turismo,” he said.
With the PlayStation 5 coming, and rumored to release in Holiday 2020, it’s thought that a new Gran Turismo game would release for the new, more powerful hardware. Yamauchi didn’t confirm anything, but he said that more power will help provide better virtual reality experiences.
“I don’t think that there’s anything else that requires that much processing power,” he said. “I really like VR; I’m one to believe in the possibilities of it, and it’s very suited for a driving game.”
The latest Gran Turismo title is Gran Turismo Sport, which was released in 2017 for PlayStation 4. Before that, Gran Turismo 6 was released on PlayStation 3 in 2013.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Lets You Reload While Aiming Down Sights
Infinity Ward has shared some new details about how reloading works in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and it includes some notable changes.
Starting off, you’ll be able to reload in ADS (aiming down sights). That sounds like a small change, but it’s significant because previous Call of Duty games did not support this. According to animation director Mark Grigsby, this will keep players in the action better.
“One other thing we added this year is the ADS [Aiming Down Sight] reload. In the past, if you’re ADS, and you’re shooting and you reload, the weapon would go off to the side, and you’d have to retrain to get to your target,” Grigsby said in an interview for Activision. “This time if you reload, it stays on the target, so you can stay in the battle.”
Also in the interview, Grigbsy spoke at a high level about why the reload animation is so important for Modern Warfare. “The reload to me is the pinnacle of the weapon; it makes you feel–after you’ve taken down five different dudes in a room–and you reload, you go, ‘Sh*t yeah, you’re done!'” Grigsby said.
In Modern Warfare, the reload animation you see will be dependent on how many bullets you’ve fired. If you’re reloading an empty magazine, the animation will show the reload and the rack in full. However, for a “tactical reload,” where there are still rounds left in the chamber, you’ll see a completely different reload animation.
“In the past, we would never physically show that transition of one mag to another, but this time around, everything’s physical, so if you have an extended mag, like a drum perhaps, or a long magazine, all of the movements within every reload are visceral, strong, aggressive, it gives another feeling of power and representing the Tier 1 operators that utilize these machines,” Grigsby said.
Go to Activision’s website to read the full interview, which touches on other subjects such as how the weapons look in the game and lots more.
Modern Warfare, which is a soft reboot of the 2007 game Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, launches on October 25 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. In another big change for the series, the game has no Season Pass.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Review
It’s been a hot minute since the Kickstarter for Koji Igarashi’s new game wrapped up and Castlevania fans have a good reason to celebrate on how this turned out.
A New Evil Dead Game Is Coming To Console And PC–But Not VR
A new Evil Dead game is on the way, actor Bruce Campbell has confirmed. Writing on Twitter, Campbell–who plays Ash Williams in the series–clarified that the game is being developed for console and PC, not virtual reality as some reports might have suggested.
That’s all the information there is to go on at this stage, so we don’t know what kind of game it will be, when it will release, who is developing it, and other key particulars.
Hey, groovy gamers, this is a swell time to clarify some incorrect info that might be out there (including from me!): the upcoming Evil Dead video game is being developed for consoles and PC, not VR. Sorry for any confusion. Game on! #MyBoomstickIsTooBigForVR #EvilDeadTheGame pic.twitter.com/Jqh2BGW82p
— Bruce Campbell (@GroovyBruce) July 1, 2019
Whatever the case, it’ll be the first new Evil Dead game in a long time. Three Evil Dead games were released in the 2000s, including Evil Dead: Hail to the King (2000), Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick (2003), and Evil Dead: Regeneration (2005). Each title was developed by a different studio, though they were all published by the now-defunct THQ.
While THQ went under, the THQ name was acquired by Nordic Games which later re-branded itself as THQ Nordic. The company is now bringing back a number of THQ properties, including SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom, but it’s not clear if THQ Nordic owns the rights for Evil Dead.
In August 2018, Campbell confirmed to Bloody-Disgusting that the new Evil Dead game is a “whole immersive kind of dealio.” He also confirmed that he’ll be voicing Ash in the game because he “wouldn’t want someone else’s voice hamming it up.”

Cyberpunk 2077’s In-Game Keanu Reeves Band Will Be Portrayed By Refused
Cyberpunk 2077‘s fictional in-game band, Samurai, will be portrayed by none other than Swedish punk band Refused. CD Projekt Red announced the partnership today, confirming that Refused will write, record, and produce an EP of Samurai’s greatest hits.
The songs will include tunes inspired by the Cyberpunk 2020 source material, along with brand-new songs that Refused wrote for the game. That’s a big deal because Refused haven’t released new music since 2015’s Freedom album.
You can listen to the new Refused song “Chippin’ In” through the YouTube embed above. If it sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the song that played as Keanu Reeves walked onto the stage during Microsoft’s E3 2019 briefing; apparently no one noticed it was a new song.
Reeves plays the character Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077; he’s the singer and guitarist for the band Samurai. In June, Reeves cryptically said he wouldn’t do any singing in Cyberpunk 2077, and now we know it’s because Refused did the music.
CD Projekt Red’s music director, Marcin Przybyłowicz, said the Polish studio has a lot of Refused fans within it. One of the game’s composers, Piotr Adamczyk, is a big fan of the group, and it was his idea to approach Refused for the collaboration.
“I’m very happy he did, because the massive riffs, powerful drums, and hard-hitting vocals the guys from Refused deliver as Samurai have blown me away,” Przybyłowicz said. “I can wholeheartedly say the punk factor of Cyberpunk 2077’s music is through the roof!”
Refused lead singer Dennis Lyxzén said, “Like us, Samurai is a group of rebels, albeit in a different time and place. Working together with CD Projekt Red, writing music and song lyrics for Cyberpunk’s chrome rock icon was fun, but also very different in the creative sense. It was an unexpected challenge that turned out to be right up our alley and really got us going. The songs turned out great and the game looks insane.”
This is not the first time the band Refused has been connected to video games. Bethesda used the band’s biggest song, “New Noise,” for its “Fight Like Hell” trailer for Doom.
Cyberpunk 2077 releases on April 16, 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
