Things are looking up for the latest of the Gran Turismo video game franchise. As far as the recent official announcements are concerned, Gran Turismo Sport expected to be released via PS4 Pro somewhere within the 2017 timeframe.

However, there is more to the hopeful date confirmation that bodes good news. According to report conferred by PlayStation Universe, the latest installment of the Gran Turismo video game is amplified with a high-end 4K resolution, High Dynamic Range (HDR) graphic renderer, and the latest virtual reality support.

This new development is a step in the right direction, considering the delay of their promised release of the game on September 7, 2016. In a comparative testimony presented by Veni Vidi Vici, the recent progress in Gran Turismo Sport promises redemption for the critically endangered PS4 Pro console model. In essence, there is not enough volume of games to go around in revving up PlayStation's bygone prestige.

For years, Sony Entertainment has considered Gran Turismo as its flagship for the racing genre. The latest installment of the franchise solidifies that partnership. Creator Kazunori Yamauchi considers the upcoming 2017 issue as an opportunity to take advantage of PS4 Pro in line with its additional 4K and HDR features.

Curiously, the sense of letdown experienced by GT Sport and PS4 Pro fans was not entirely uncommon among general consumers in the industry. Vintage franchises like Mortal Kombat have also disappointed fans in their recent announcement to postpone the release of Mortal Kombat X.

Gran Turismo has been around in the gaming industry since 1997. Furthermore, it currently ranks as the most profitable game franchise in various PlayStation platforms. There are precisely 76 billion units of GT games sold worldwide as of recent tally. The latest of the Gran Turismo series carries the term 'sport' to emphasize its edgy and highly-competitive theme.
