A Croatian electronics retailer has published a new listing for a game called “Gran Turismo Sport” and is now accepting pre-orders. For its placeholder image, they appear to have created their own “Gran Turismo 7″ graphic.

Typically, this type of listing is nothing to get excited about – online stores often begin accepting pre-orders and publishing incorrect release dates for games years before they’re officially announced, in hopes of attracting links and attention.

However, things are a bit different with this company, Sancta Domenica. They have an exclusive agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, and are the sole importer of PlayStation products in the countries of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Their use of the name “Gran Turismo Sport” is also interesting. Notorious Gran Turismo insider Amar212 – who is also based in Croatia and runs Croatian GT fan site GTSurgeons – first teased the “Gran Turismo Sport” name in a post on NeoGAF last month.

[Acquiescence]

OOPS! Huge leak right there.

they appear to have created their own “Gran Turismo 7″ graphic.

Or not.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Oh fuck....next gen GT 0_0

Amar was right!

 

[KillerSloth]

HYPE. It is time sony reveals GT, it is a huge IP.

 

[Edge_Maverick]

Oh boy.

 

[Heroman]

Leaky ship

Yup, nothing shady about making their GT 7 logo. Seems legit.

 

[Black Pewter]

In. Wonder if it really is a Horizon style thing or a traditional experience.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

But it says SPORTS not SPORT.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Driveclub renamed amirite?

 

[Vex_]

Looks like we won't have to wait till 2017!

Megaton.

 

[eFKac]

Yeah and the marketing picture has a 7 after the name. Probably some fake shit, so I'm not even getting my hopes up.

Yamauchi won't deliver before Holiday 16'

 

[Bry0]

Interesting, I wonder if they are dropping numbers, or if this will be a prologue type deal focusing on GT cars.

 

[Rymuth]

So what *is* GT Sport? A spin-off?

 

[TheBioLover]

So it's some sort of spin-off?

 

[Various Artists]

If it is real, perhaps it is a prologue of some sort?

 

[KillerSloth]

OOPS! Huge leak right there.



Or not.

Isn't that normal as a placeholder?

Yup, nothing shady about making their GT 7 logo. Seems legit.

Again isn't this normal for a placeholder?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

So what *is* GT Sport? A spin-off?

a Morpheus exclusive spin-off co-developed by Evolution

 

[R3TRODYCE]

E3 might be great.

 

[Percy]

Why does the car look so angry?

 

[NMFried]

Guys it's a F2P Card Game come on.

 

[Vex_]

Driveclub renamed amirite?

We need this game to be 60fps this time.

 

[Acquiescence]

Isn't that normal as a placeholder?





Again isn't this normal for a placeholder?

I dunno, I don't know what to believe right now.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Vita game.

 

[chadskin]

Or not.

Amazon (Germany) does these things too, for some reason. Here's their fake cover for Tearaway Unfolded:

 

[ekim]

Sounds like GT7s Prologue.

I retract my original statement. I never realized that this actually was common practice.

There you go, so we cannot dismiss this just because of a placeholder image.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Leaky ship

quite

 

[Veritigo_X]

How do we know that isn't the official GT7 logo?

 

[Rajang]

Wow...

 

[pager99]

What's so exciting about this if it's 2 years away?

 

[Noobcraft]

Sounds like GT7s Prologue.

Maybe they're launching the game in tiers.
Gran Turismo Sport is the base model.
Gran Turismo Turbo is a step up. (Car DLC included)
Gran Turismo Premium is the top tier. (Car DLC, New track DLC, GPS track editor)

 

[KORNdoggy]

What's so exciting about this if it's 2 years away?

Sounds like a stop gap release, so wouldn't be 2 years away.

 

[Chobel]

Maybe it's the arcade racer Verendus talked about.

 

[amnesiac]

What's so exciting about this if it's 2 years away?

Gran Turismo Sport isn't necessarily Gran Turismo 7

 

[salromano]

What else has Amar212 said that's been right, given he's a "notorious GT insider"?

 

[jaypah]

Well, well, well. Next week seems very far away.

 

[darkwing]

so many leaks

 

[Majine]

Maybe they're launching the game in tiers.
Gran Turismo Sport is the base model.
Gran Turismo Turbo is a step up.
Gran Turismo Premium is the top tier.

Gran Turismo Sport - Cars in aluminum
Gran Turismo - Cars in stainless steel
Gran Turismo Edition - Cars in gold.

 

[Jarod McChicken]

In its most recent ITW, Kazunori Yamauchi said that we will not have to wait until 2017 to play "the next Gran Turismo". That's how he called the game, instead of using "GT7" like the interviewer. For what it's worth ^^

 

[privitsan02]

Sounds like GT7s Prologue.

Either that or F2P, or a completely new spin-off to off-set the main GT releases.

Could be a neat idea, especially if they can get Evolution to help them out. Hope its Fall 2015.

Best wishes.

 

[KennyLinder]

Could be:

- Prologue renamed
- Spin off
- Cars and Bikes
- None of the above

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Sony, please...

 

[Wiggy]

Could be:

- Prologue renamed
- Spin off
- Cars and Bikes
- None of the above

Hmm, think you've just about covered all bases here - nice work.

 

[hesido]

There's our prologue.

Plot Twist: Move game.

 

[Acquiescence]

What if this is a spin-off aimed for a fall release? Could see it happening.

 

[Marchiott]

Gran Turismo Sport isn't necessarily Gran Turismo 7

Next-gen Gran Turismo Prologue incoming?

It's entirely possible that this is a spin-off which focuses only on a subset of the vehicles that would later be included in Gran Turismo 7.
e.g. Gran Turismo Muscle, Gran Turismo Classic, Gran Turismo Kart(?)

 

[ViciousDS]

lol pretty soon we will have the entire conference laid out for us by next monday, holy shit at all the leaks

 

[KennyLinder]

I mean, you want a new game to go alongside that new wheel, am i rite?
