The PS3 can handle it, so bring it on.
 
Well, the PS3 is still amazing for me...

I think it was a little bit irresponsible from that guy from Sony to say GT6 would be a PS3 game... unless he's suggesting it will make it both for PS3 & PS4, like some PS2 & PS3 games like Madden or PES...

I agree, the PS3 is amazing, compared to its predecessor and the other 2 consoles in this gen, including Wii 2.

You're forgetting iPhone, Android, X360, and multiple Nintendo platforms. COD makes a billion in sales across 5 platforms. NASCAR 09 was very different on PS3 vs PS2. The PS2 version had the Wheland Modified Series if memory serves me right. But, the graphics were so much better on the next gen consoles. So you guys are saying EA and Activision are far more capable than PD and SONY are.

Not to release GT6 on PS3 would be stupid. There are more PS3's in people's homes than there has ever been. I don't think GT will be on PS4 for awhile. SONY used GT-HD, MotorStorm and then GT5p to appease us for 4 years! How long did it take for GT3 to release for PS2? It was not a launch title, despite being a featured game on the PS2 box. I fear they will use Drive Club as an appeasement until GT7 releases along with a price drop on the PS4.

The best scenario is GT6 is a launch title on both PS3 & PS4. The games are already coded on a PC anyway.
 
When GT3 came out on the PS2 Kaz said it was all the console could handle... then they optimized everything they could and GT4 came out on that very same console and blew us away. I see that the very same thing could possibly happen this time. PD are masters at this sort of thing!
 
More than the ps3/ps4 discussion what matters the most is what the best new console to get will be. This gen (that hasn't ended) was clearly the 360 and the xbox720 (or whatever it is called) will have a GT competitor that is to the very least up there in quality. The other alternative is the pc, with technically better games but with less content as of now.

Yeah but this thread is about GT6 coming out on the PS3 from a statement of a Sony executive. Your statement is pointless here, sorry. Seems to me you're just trying to stir something up.

The Gran Turismo history is full of those examples... GT2 was WAY bigger and better than GT1, GT4 was BIGGER than GT3 (in some aspects, not that better as some people still prefer GT3 over GT4), so what we can hope, and only hope is that a PS3 GT6 will be way better.

Bigger? In tracks, yes... in cars, I doubt they can beat the 1000 cars mark. But I don't care. Give me 500 premiums (get rid of the standards...) and all the tracks I can have, a WELL MADE A-spec mode, clever game design choices and progression and its all right. Reduce the ammount of particles to improve the quality of smoke, make it 10-12 cars on the track only but make it right.

Less sometimes can be more IMHO.
 
People keep coming up with all these "well this happened in the past" scenarios as a reason for GT6 being on PS3 but they seem to be ignoring all of the things that hasn't happened the same. Like how GT4 was released nearly two years before PS3 went on sale and GT2 four months before the PS2 was released. Yet here we are, 10 months until PS4 is on sale and the game hasn't even been announced.

Yes Simon, you are right but well... looks like they will not announce it before it's really near the release... because the delays and what happened in the past.

The truth is... speculation, speculation and more of it. We know nothing.

(but it's fun to talk about)
 
They might not announce it until it's nearly ready but they're still not going to release it a few months later, no matter what Kaz has said you just don't release AAA games a few months after you announce them unless they're launch titles. I'm pretty sure all he meant was the game wouldn't be announced years before the game finally comes out.
 
And why would I pay for them piecemeal at a much greater cost this late in GT5's life instead of waiting for GT6 if the chance exists it will come out on the system I already own?
Fair enough.

Why would I pay for anything this late in PS3's life?
Not a particularly large amount of GT5's problems had anything to do with the hardware it was on rather than the design choices it was developed under.
Still I find it hard to see what the PS3 can bring that's much better than what we already have though.
 
:rolleyes:

Stop using Diablo III as an example of anything remotely related to what would be done with GT6.

Diablo 3 isn't the only dual PlayStstion release.

SONY doesn't need a year to build hype for a GT game. We aren't seen commercials for COD 9 or whatever. Yet we know its coming. SONY launched the PS3 Slim at E3 right? It sold just fine.

Yeah because a third version of a console is totally the same thing as a new game.
 
you just don't release AAA games a few months after you announce

Why?

If you've expressed a wish to avoid hype, the biggest advantage of an early announcement, what other advantages do you miss out on releasing close to your announcement?
 
Diablo 3 isn't the only dual PlayStstion release.

And no other PS3/PS4 multiplatform game is relevant either. It's a completely different set of circumstances between making a game for "generic" architecture and then porting it to multiple systems after the fact (as is the case with Diablo III and, indeed, most multiplatform/3rd party titles) and tailoring a game for two different architectures at the same time.
 
You couldn't release a game at short notice back in the bad old days of magazine lead times but they could do it in a month these days.

That is what the internet and PR departments are for.

Knock if off Simon. Get real man. If they announced it at E3 to go on sale mid November, that isn't enough? ARE YOU KIDDING? Are you going to buy it? Are 99% of GT fans awarDo you think they are going to ship one massive batch and then that's it, the well dries up? Simon, people are still buying the new repackaged versions of GT5.

Or are you just looking for something to bicker about? Seriously.

Destiny is a brand new Bungie IP, it's not a port of a 2 year old game. Done.

THANK YOU.

It's still debatable though.

And not trying to be a smart ass, but would this have any affect on your understanding? Is it debatable?

You could, nobody does though, do they? Like I said yesterday there are going to have to be so many firsts in the industry and GT history for a PS3 release to happen. Mainly I just can't see them announcing a PS3 game in the middle of what is obviously going to be an E3 all about next gen.

You have to remember, we are dealing with Kaz/Polyphony, not exactly the type to "follow the trends".

The only two pieces of evidence we have are -

1. Kaz saying he wants to avoid hype/delay induced hate
2. A Sony bigwig saying GT5 will be on PS3

I still think both are circumstantial, but that's all we have.
 
Sony are the publishers though and they do follow trends.

Although to be honest I am pretty bored of all of this, we've all got our own ideas and theories that we're sticking to, I'm saying no more on the matter until E3.

It's also a third party game by Activision that is also coming out on the 360, so it's clearly not designed for any system in particular like first party games like Gran Turismo are. Remember all of those horror stories of early PS3 games that were really bad ports of 360 games, even though they released at the same time?

GT5 was made for the PS3 hardware specifically, as most recent PS3 first party games have been. The PS4 has very different hardware purely for the sake of making it get away from all of the problems developers had with the PS2 and PS3 early on. PD may have helped design it, but they wouldn't have done anything to compromise the system for other developers just to make it easier to port their stuff to. You're going to lose all of your optimization one way or the other when making the game for two systems; so it either suffers on the PS3 and has technical shortcomings that GT5 didn't have to make it simpler to port, or the PS4 version suffers because the game was largely designed for CELL and it's being made to run on an x86 platform. And either way it would be a massive expenditure of resources to get it on both systems at the same time; to say nothing about what Sony would have to do after the fact to keep support up when they split the game out over two systems.


That's why the only recent example of a similar thing being done was with a Gamecube game on the Wii (Twilight Princess), where both systems had nearly identical architecture so the porting process basically amounted to changing the control scheme.
 
Just to add that it would most likely be coming to ps3 is this

The GT5 was very successful on the PS3 and of course the company will want to maximise sales with the release on the PS3 instead of the PS4, this is due to the fact that some people may be reluctant to move over to the next generation console immediately. The same may happen with GTA 5, as at the moment we don’t know if it will be coming out on the PS4 and bear in mind that the discs of the PS3 will not work on the new console.

For the full reading is here.

I think the industry has grown far too dependent on E3, it should be moved to Spring. CES sets the tone for consumer electronics, it's early in the year. E3 is supposed to do the same for gaming. Having E3 mid year is too long to wait. Then again, it gives devlopers more time to put together media.

I guess Tornado seems to think PD is incapable of doing a dual release. Whatever.

Ahhh, well said. I think that's what all of us - who aren't on top of things like you explained - were waiting for. Speaking for others, hearing "architecture" and STUFF like that doesn't fully convince us of what you mean (for future reference).
 
Dually noted. Thanks.

👍

No. I think the amount of effort that it would require would probably be a detriment to the final game regardless of the system; and the fact that it has only been done once in the past two console generations for two consoles that had nearly identical hardware is related to that. That multiplatform games have been announced for the PS4 doesn't change that, because multiplatform games have always been around and it's never held any relevance to first party releases.

Well I only said E3 as that's when I expect GT6 to be announced but let me rephrase, I'm not saying any more on this subject until PD talk, whenever that may be.
