Buy a PS4 to play GT6?

[Fazerfan]

Sony can't release another console that expansive because it's far to expansive for most people. The rumors say 400$..and I think that's quite realistic because the new technology isn't that expansive (compared to PS3-technology when it was released) unless they don't give us a 256GB SSD-Memory.

Maybe but that is the US price. In Finland you have to add lots of taxes.

 

[alstigy]

Yup, pretty much bought PS3 for GT5 and it sure was worth it.

PS4 possibly out next month. Or at least announced

The main features for GT6 (if released on a ps4) to be a PS4 system seller is pretty much what Earth said imo. But other additional features what I would personally like to see is:

drive in convertibles
different pit crew animation strategies
livery editor
lots of aftermarket parts
ability to choose different interior colors for your car, not just exterior colors

Hopefully with it's release it would be a finish product.

You can change the interior color when you buy the car and choose it's color for the first time it only works for some cars though.

IMO most people bought a PS3 for it's games not just GT5, Although GT5 is one of the main factors, why get a $250 console for GT5 when you can buy a good PC sim for your PC which you use for everyday life.

So i personally would buy the PS4 for it's branch of new games and graphics but of course Gt6 will be a deciding factor whether to get the Xbox720 or PS4

Way to expensive to buy a new PS4 and a GT6 so I probably wouldn't buy it but what I'm fearing is that they will shut down PS3 online servers so they can fund PS4 and PD will eventually continue patching GT6 and leave GT5 to die along side PS3.

It's the exact same thing that happened with PS2 they shut down online servers so that they can fund PS3 online servers.

I occasionally played my old GT4 on my PS2

I bought the PS3 when the price dropped to $299 – I got GT5 Prologue the same day. That was November 2009.

I had fun every night online with GT5P and really think it would have been worth it to buy the PS3 when GT5P came out even though the PS3 was more expensive at the time.

I still think that GT6 is going to be the PS3’s Last hurrah.

It is time to look forward to GT7 prologue, and when the PS4’s price drops to $399 -

Still baffles me that people buy gaming consoles just to play one game.

There may just be one game that they are interested in. Basically I guess you can divide GT5 gamers into two categories:

1. Gaming enthusiasts who likes Gran Turismo
2. Car enthusiasts who likes Gran Turismo

I bought my ps3 just for gt5 and Ill buy a ps4 if gt6 is on it. Its the only game I play on playstation because I just cant get used to playing shooting games with a controller. If the frag fx works with the ps4 I might ditch pc gaming though.

Regarding fragfx, there shouldn't be any problems with PS4 :-).

I have ditched PC gaming, it got to expensive + I have less time to play.

I'm the second one. I just love Gran Turismo. Best game in existence and can not wait for GT6. :tup:

Or like me, a bit of both. But even if you're number 2 I can't really understand why you wouldn't at the very least play other car games? Sure no other game on PS3 really has very realistic physics like GT5but if you just like cars why not at least play something like GRID?

Sony sent me an email saying stay tuned for this event. We will see pretty soon if the ps4 is worth it or not.

 

[Guardian]

I probably would buy a PS4 for GT6.

GT5 sold me on the realism of GranTurismo; so I wouldn't want to miss out on a game which, theoretically, should have even better graphics than GT5. 👍

Haha. To be honest, I also play NFS and other games as well.

Well I have to say when the PS3 came out I was simply going to buy it because of GT5. However, I wasn't to impressed when it initially when it came out, so I waited until 2011 to get mine. However, even though I would love for GT6 to come out with the PS4 I would probably hold off until a price cut to pick them up.

 

[counter345]

Last time, I bought a PS3 for mainly GT5 and blu-ray support and the PS3 has fulfilled my life fantastically.

If the PS4 can do the same, then I don't see why not, other than the fact that we're poor right now.

 

[RacerPaul]

Buy a PS4 to play GT6?

Not unless its a big improvement over 5 and I have a large surplus of cash hanging about

 

[Tired Tyres]

The PS3 is the worst console I've ever owned as far as games I want to play on it.

GT6 would have to be truly and amazingly spectacular to get me to buy a PS4.

 

[ussr]

No, not for GT6. For wipeout YES, for Ridge Racer YES, for true launch title like that but not for Japanese racing game. They don't know how to make descend racing game anymore, they never knew. Right now America and European studios holds the knowledge, every great racing game came from EU or US. JP only had great looks. GT5 looks amazing in some areas. Cars looks stunning but as for driving experience, it's not real. Not even close.

If GT6 would be launch title i will definitely skip it and spend my money on other game, like wipeout or Ridge Racer 👍

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Probably would get a PS4 for GT6 but only after it gets cheap. Might get it earlier if Evolution's WipEout revamp/MotorStorm redemption are launch titles though.

 

[awr117]

Not buying, just bought a gaming PC. Moving on now that my eyes have been opened.

 

[E28]

Depends. I think a lot of people are going to be skeptical after GT5.

Personally, I'm incredibly tempted to just build a good PC, especially if all the pre-owned games rumours become true.

 

[IceMan PJN]

I'm not buying a console for one game, and probably won't buy a PS4 until the price is under $400 for the top SKU.

 

[shmogt]

Ok word on the streets is the new ps4 controller looks roughly the same as current ones but dumped the start and select buttons area for a small touch screen. Also you can now press a button on the controller to instantly record 15min of whatever is happening on screen than edit it and upload it all from the ps4. I really hope these facts are true because recording video games is a huge insdusty and cost a lot of money right now to buy HD recorders and programs to edit etc. All in system would be sweet. I'm also hearing quadcore with 8gb of ram.

 

[sgohsixthree]

My PS3 just gave me the YLOD with GT5 inside. So I would very much enjoy a PS4 + GT6 combo before the end of the year.

 

[TwistyDrift]

Wow speaking of rich guys that combo will cost like 800-900

 

[Grand Prix]

Will likely wait until GT6 and its reviews come out before making a decision. Not buying into any PS4 hype, and not buying any Prologues. A video of a Ferrari 250 SWB being driven at Rouen or '60s Spa with an accurate sound is the only way they'll guarantee a purchase from me, for both GT6 and PS4.

 

[arora]

The ps4 will likely cost close to what a gaming pc would set me back, add to that overpriced and under developed games...

Safe to say I will not buy a ps4.

I'll not bring up hypotheticals more than go with what I know about the Playstation 3 and Gran Turismo 5.

The only reason I would see PD setting up the successor for the next Playstation would be Sony making a console which properly utilizes current electronic knowledge. From what I can tell with the PS3, they're going for graphics to the point they are not compensating for the side effects of such a huge push toward graphics capabilities, and, as with most mainstream gaming system providers, making the box look real neat and stuff.

To elaborate on side effects of huge pushes for graphics, my Super Slim is going to need a significant modification to easily vent out the heat it produces when playing Gran Turismo 5. Only when my room is a little chilled and I have a large fan blowing across the path of the vent is it not prone to gradual overheat symptoms. And, of course, the loading times can get to be long enough I can step away to make an instant dinner, return to my seat to game, and still be loading, depending on the internal heat of my console.

Unless PD is given a sort of pay from Sony for producing for the PS4 (I doubt something like this is really done in the gaming industry, but who knows what shenanigans those financial heads are up to), rather than PS3, or the PS4 turns to have... MODERN loading times, at least, and decent ventilation, then PD has no real reason to hop up to the next generation console.

 

[MSTER232]

I'm not going to buy a PS4 solely to play GT6. I probably can't afford to buy it right away when it comes out, so GT6 on the PS4 is going to have to wait for me.

Not exactly sure what you're getting at but you do realise PD ARE Sony, don't you? They don't need to pay them to do what they want, they just tell them what they want.
