GTI Club+ Interview

Sumo Digital’s earnt itself a handy little reputation as a safe pair of hands when it comes to porting arcade classics – from its initial and outstanding conversions of OutRun 2 through to its more recent updating of the classic Track & Field series for the DS, the Sheffield-based studio has proven to be able to maintain the right balance of reverence and innovation when it comes to dealing with other people’s games.

So it’s prudent to presume that Sumo’s latest project, an HD update of GTI Club for the PlayStation Network, is going to be a standout title for PlayStation 3’s online service – and having gone hands-on with the game at Leipzig this year it’s shaping up to be just that. Sumo’s Tony Casson, GTI Club+’s executive producer, took us for a tour of the game’s cote d’azur at a recent press event in the less sunny surrounds of a Charlton warehouse.
