Kid-focused Gran Turismo for Boys could become GT5 feature

Gran Turismo for Boys was first revealed in November 2004 by Yamauchi as a way to hook preteens on cars, sort of like candy cigarettes, but since then there's been little said about the effort beyond the occasional footnote to let the world know that the project hadn't been run over. Tykes shouldn't get too excited yet, however, as Yamauchi admits that his team is currently spinning wheels working on GT5, and have little time to spend on side projects. Still, with the game's release about a year off maybe he'll find time to include the child dedicated feature -- and keep us from throwing a tantrum.

And girls miss out on all the fun?

Nah. Based on most companies' portrayal of girls' games, I'm sure that there'll be a Gran Turismo for Girls in which you only drive pink cars. Also, it'll feature an extra camera angle that allows you to check yourself out in your visor mirror.

Since the for Boys edition is still on the way, one my conclude that Gran Turismo has been for Girls all along :)

kevinski - don't forget about the included makeup kit so they can do their makeup instead of actually drive the car...

Gran Turismo for Girls would be impossible to drive.
Gran Turismo for Boys would have really expensive car insurance rates, with a product placement by Geico.

Gran Turismo for Girls is actually going to be an included feature within the Gran Turismo for Boys included feature of Gran Turismo 5.

How about transexuals?

Very good point.
Let us not forget that transexuals are people, too... Weird people, but people nonetheless.

..why not just call it Gran Turismo Jr.?
or Gran Turismo lite?
seriously. Yamauchi's gonna catch so much bad for being sexist.

Eunuchs?
Nando @ Apr 5th 2008 1:00PM
That´s an ugly name, he should call it "Gran Turismo for kids" or something like that.

No GT for Girls? Bit of a daft move.
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ Apr 5th 2008 2:16PM

Gran Turismo for Girls is coming out very soon, it's called "Mario Kart Wii".
ArcticFox @ Apr 5th 2008 1:07PM
Or how about instead of putting in bull**** features like that, maybe try and get the game out sooner instead of putting out a payware demo then making people pay for the full game next year.
DCBlack @ Apr 5th 2008 1:23PM
The one for broads features impossible controls that puts the car into the wall and blows it up within 22.3 seconds.
Sexist jokes FTW!

Strange, because I don't think most "boys" could afford a PS3 anyways (not bashing it, PS3 fanboy myself).
ThePunisher @ Apr 5th 2008 2:08PM
Gran Turismo: Islam Edition.
Bluebrake @ Apr 5th 2008 2:21PM
So what's the difference? It's Gran Turismo without all the tits and violence?
Night Elve @ Apr 5th 2008 4:00PM
Do they will include Mario Kart in Gran Turismo?
JRM @ Apr 5th 2008 4:15PM
I guess you can never start too early marketing Honda Civics, Toyotas, and Subarus.
...good grief...
Markez @ Apr 5th 2008 5:10PM
OMG another title proving this console is for babies. SUCKER babies. This company only makes gamez for infants and highly developed zygotes lolz. Have fun with you baby console stupid fanboys.
Hey wait, I must be confused. Am I in the right place?
Where am I anyway...
