Mashable quietly published an interesting video interview with North American Gran Turismo producer Taku Imasaki earlier this month.

In addition to highlighting Gran Turismo 6‘s all-new game engine, Taku emphasized that many of the game’s new changes and features are “for the community”, and that the team at Polyphony Digital has been listening carefully to player feedback:

“Ever since GT5 came out, we hear a lot, like on forums, and our creator of the game, Yamauchi-san, he tweets.

He gets like a thousand tweets every day from people saying ‘you should do this or put this car in’. We pay a lot of attention to that stuff and take it really seriously.”

Finally, he shared a fascinating statistic, confirming that over “100,000 people log in every day” to play Gran Turismo 5 – a high level of long-term player engagement for a game nearing three years in age.

I'm a very happy gamer into these 100k active users.

That's quite impressive

Wow. Considering this game isn't F2P this is extremely impressive. For comparison's sake Dota 2 which is F2P currently has 300k players ingame.

well, dota has 300k players at the same time, gt5 has 100k players logging in over the whole day. that's quite a difference.

A massive amount considering how old it is but it also has quite decent sales every week so this doesn't come out of nothing. I think GT5 deserves it to be played much.

I know, but that doesnt't make 100k cumulative players a day for a three year old game any less impressive.

Impressive if you see how long it had been released.

Gt is my go to game. So I'm always playing several times a week. The only thing that makes me move on from gt is the next one.

wow, thats a lot. i should start playing it again.
