Gran Turismo
In November 2006, shortly before the release of "Gran Turismo HD Concept" v2.0, Polyphony Digital director Kazunori Yamauchi officially announced a ""revision" in the "product strategy": "Gran Turismo 5 will be given priority"". Polyphony Digital chose to abandon the planned full version named "Gran Turismo HD", which was previously announced as Vision Gran Turismo at the E3 2005 and was first displayed during the Tokyo Game Show 2006 and was scheduled for a 2007 worldwide release to focus on developing "Gran Turismo 5" instead. Kazunori Yamauchi stated "Gran Turismo 5 will adopt most of the planned features of Gran Turismo HD", which is confirmed by the two "Gran Turismo x Skyline" trailers based on "Gran Turismo 4" replay footages and early "Gran Turismo HD Concept" artworks or replay footages and including the line ""Passage to Gran Turismo 5". "We are hoping to present [...] several Concept versions, each loaded with various experimental features"", Kazunori Yamauchi added.
