Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that the upcoming sixth entry in the racing simulator series is also being considered for release on PlayStation 4.

Speaking at today’s Gran Turismo 15th Anniversary event at Silverstone racetrack in England, Yamauchi told IGN, “We actually do have a PlayStation 4 version in mind, but for this holiday season, we thought it would be best for users to release on PS3 for now.”

Woah, well hopefully its true so these crybabies will shut up haha
 
If they do, want it announced before release so i can pick which one to get for rather than get for ps3, get to 50% then want ps4 version for better perks and overall performance.
 
I cannot see GT6 PS4 being released for at least a year after PS4. If this is the case and it's worth it I may buy it again but it would be great to have the option come Q4 2013.
 
In my opinion, cross gen only works if they're going to release close together. A year or so apart defeats the purpose because for those that already played the last gen's version, it's not really worth it to buy the PS4 for only a visual upgrade. Now if we're talking about revamped graphics alongside physics, features, structure, A.I., damage, then yes count me in, but why call it GT6 if it's going to be a lot different than the PS3 version?
 
And the "crybabies" wanted exclusive PS4 development, not a PS3 port. So they'll still cry.
 
I hope this isn't true. I wanted GT6 to be for PS4, but now it's confirmed that it's for PS3. Knowing that GT6 is already for PS3, I'm not going to wait for a PS4 version. I want GT6 and I want it NOW.

God forbid we wanted a major improvement on new hardware and not what looks like just a big gt5 patch.

The ps3 is holding the game back in a major way.

Some people have higher standards then you.

Can you name one aspect in which it is? Literally all features and improvements are there.

Sure on the ps4 graphics would be better (not day and night though) and probably there would be more cars on track at the same time, but the game itself seems to be the exact same.
 
Well, I hope it is... I'd rather get a PS4 game hard-copy and play it on a PS4 rather than stream a PS3 game through PSN on the thing.

Maintaining my PS3 is just too much of a hassle. I'd spend more hours fixing my PS3 and replacing it's hard drive than actually playing GT5.
 
It suits me provided that it's released at least a year after the PS4 goes on sale.

I was going to buy a PS4 at launch (for Killzone and,I presumed wrongly,GT6) but after the news today, I'm putting it off.

I'll probably wait until Christmas 2014.
By then, GT6 will be out for a year on PS3, and along with GTA5 and South Park which will be played constantly in my house, there is no need for me to splash out a few hundred euro for a PS4 just to play the new Killzone game.

Better AI, more features, better online features that ps4 comes with, more processing power and more memory gives devs a wealth more to work with in terms if AI calculations, physics calculations, content, get real. The ps4 is so far ahead of the 7 year old ps3 it's ridiculous. If you think it's just graphics your clueless, look at all the issues gt5 had due to ps3 as it is.

The graphics would be day and night, have a gaming PC? I do and a DX 11 GPU with a 8gb system ram, metro last light looks photo real at times. PS3 games look very dated, gt included. The tracks in Gt5 are horribly low res as are the smoke and other effects.

8 gb ram versus 512, 8 core unified cpu, the ps4 is a beast compared to the ps3.

How come? Be more specific, and it's not like having more power = better AI.

Proof of that holding AI back in GT5. No speculation, give me links.


more features

Like which? Today we saw tons of the so called 'impossible features' to have in a ps3 game.

Online gaming on consoles relies more on games than the console itself.

Argument already dismissed in other console games.

Be specific. It's not like there are less tracks or cars because of the ps3, considering the huge game that gt5 is doesn't even use half of the ps3's storage capabilities.

The 'next gen' of console gaming is not going to be that much of a major improvement compared with previous ones. SNES to N64 is night and day, not ps3 to ps4, and a good current gaming pc will outperform the ps4 at its release date.

Still, it is pretty obvious that GT6 would look considerably better on the ps4, but it's not going to be something that will hold the game itself back. Graphics don't make a game.

Some tracks in gt5 are "horribly low res" because they are ports from gt4. It's the same situation that happens with cars, and that won't change if the game is on the ps4. Lets put it on a simplified yet effective way: gt6 on the ps4 = standard cars anyway, just with better looking effects.

I'm sorry, but I struggle to understand how anyone could be anything but thoroughly depressed at the PS3 presentation today, it was like going back in time, all at a time when the industry is focused 100% on next gen.

PD can tweak graphics, physics and what not, but it looks old hat, because, quite simply, the PS3 is now an antiquated piece of hardware.

Don't let the PR spin convince you GT6 is coming to PS3 due to the installed base, what utter, utter nonsense. This next gen is critical to Sony's very existent, they need all their big hitters on PS4.

Now, of course some titles will not be ready for launch, but we know at the pace PD work, Sony would be petrified if they stipulated a PS4 release they'd be waiting another three years, not a 56-12 month wait as with there other developers major PS4 titles.

All this is played out to a backdrop of the Forza franchise, at the very least, matching GT, and many would say leaping far ahead.

I can only imagine the embarrasment at E3 when PD are demonstrating GT6, talking about all these new, very clever, graphical features, only to see T10, and whoever else, demonstrate the shear graphical power of next gen hardware.

Driving games are always a staple of console launches, they are great adverts of a systems power, and with current systems spluttering along, begging to be put out of their misery, these next gen racers are going to make GT6 look positively archaic.

No one is doubting PD's technical accuminn, they are the best in the industry, but it is a mistake of staggering proportions not to have GT6 as a PS4 title. GT once led the competition, that sadly ceased to be when GT5 and Forza 4 went up against each other, I'm sorry to say, rather than close the gap PD are going to be left trailing in T10's dust if they don't get their act in order, sharpish

Read this, the next gen leap is going to be as big as any beforehand, so much so developers are only using a fraction of the resources on offer, despite throwing everything they have at it.

I know what I'm talking about, which is something that cannot be said about "bigspleen", who btw is a user that registered today only to complain.

Actually a potential GT6 on the PS4 could max it right away: on this genre things can get pretty demanding. The discussion is if GT6 on PS4 would be a better game than it on the PS3, besides improved graphics (that won't be a night and day difference anyway, considering hardware and assets).

And what will compete with forza5 on the graphics side of things is Drive Club, which blows forza4 and gt5 away. That's sony's staple for release date, and hopefully pCars makes it to both next gen consoles so there's a direct comparison there too.

More/faster CPU's can make a big difference with the physics, unless you're saying that they're just going to port PS3 physics to PS4, which is what I am afraid of.

Well said, and if you're a new user to the forum I just wanted to say this - Great first post!
 
I don't see the issue with this at all. The PS3 user base is confirmed, so release the game for confirmed or likely sales. Just because PS4 is coming out, not every PS3 user will/or can afford to upgrade at that time.

When it does, I'm sure PS4 will have an upgraded version, which we saw happen with "upgraded" versions of remastered PS2 games.
 
All arguments are invalid considering driving a standard on the grand valley and a aventador at dawn on the nurburgring look like games made decades apart..
PD's lazynes held GT5 behind not the console.
