Like it or not, the Gran Turismo 6 (GT6) is not the most advanced driving/racing simulation game that you can get your hands on today. That’s partly due to the outdated hardware that it’s running on and partly to the much bigger ambitions that Polyphony Digital has with the seventh installment in the series.

Still, regardless of how similar GT6 is to GT5, the story of how it got to where it is today is an interesting one that’s tightly interlinked with that of its creator Kazunori Yamauchi. That story is now detailed (and dramatized) in an all-new documentary called “Kaz: Pushing the Virtual Divide.”

The official description says it’s a film about “the passion and creative drive of Kazunori Yamauchi, the architect behind Gran Turismo‘s birth and breath-taking fifteen-year evolution. This film will trace his relentless willingness to challenge himself, to hold none of his past achievements sacred, and push beyond the virtual divide in his pursuit of perfection.”
