Weather not guaranteed for Gran Turismo 5

Polyphony Digital reveals that a weather system may not be guaranteed for Gran Turismo 5.

We thought French website JVN.com may have been a little bit snap happy with their exclusive GT5 reveals yesterday. After their visit to Polyphony Digital, they wrote that GT5 would be getting a day & night cycle, and rain.

Well, in an interview with IGN, Polyphony Digital head Kazunori Yamauchi responded to a question about a weather system being included in the PlayStation 3 game:

"We can implement it, but don't know yet whether we're going to put it in or not," said Yamauchi-san.

Don't fret though. We believe that both the day & night cycle and weather system will be in the game in another form. Day races, night races, rain races etc.

It would be a little bit much to presume real-time changes to the time of day and weather while in the middle of a race. Then again, Polyphony has plenty of time to surprise us before the game's March 2010 release.
