Indeed if unaccidental is a word that is.
I think their strategy would be something like releasing it before PS4, probably show off a PS4 tech demo of GT game too at E3 (Maybe also show more details and give possible release time frame) and also do a smaller announcement that GT6 will be out to buy relatively soon on PS3 and maybe have it playable at the E3 show. Will be also interesting to see if Vita gets some love too from them.

Sounds like a real word to me

The thing that bothers me: if this is totally untrue, wouldn't it be in PD's best interest to come out and say something (that's assuming they're in-touch enough to even know this is going around)?
It seems that being quiet on this would be the best way to distract attention, if it is true. But then again, if it's coming out this year, shouldn't we well know by now? Most big games for the end of the year are already announced. This idea of it being a PS3 release this year just doesn't seem to fit into any scheme.

Maybe it's a social experiment? How long can you leave the announcement of a big-hitting game before the rioting starts?

It will be interesting indeed, and I believe it would be *their strategy.
My bad
.They are most likely going for a big surprise element Kaz style. Then everyone will know GT is coming, I still wonder what their strategy will be as they most likely will be developing for all three by now but we haven't got a clue about their progress.

That interview was posted on the 22nd
http://www.siliconrepublic.com/digital-life/item/31603-scee-worldwide-studios-svp/
That's five whole days ago.
If there was going to be a retraction it would have happened by now surely.

I was surprised that I was the first person to make reference to it considering I posted about it a day later after it was published.
Still waiting to see the mastermind plan for the GT series by Kaz. Shuhei Yoshida has done well so far not to let anything slip.

How would DLC of a few cars and tracks bring them $50,000,000? not everyone who owns GT5 buys all the DLC. Im not against a Spec-III but they will never make that much money off of it especially if you say there will be no added features, not everyone just wants more cars and tracks.

50 millions $ is a low estimation. I am talking about a big DLC they could sell 20 bucks minimum. Don't you think they could sell 3 millions of these? We would already be at 60 millions.
And let's not forget the new "GT5 completely total exhaustive edition" that would be released and help sell even more GT5...
So 20$ at least, 3 millions at least (we are talking about GT man!)... absolutely feasible.
Most people would be happy with more cars and tracks. And they would not expect more from a DLC anyway. Only content. No features.

Ask yourself this.
If gt6 came out on ps3 this summer would you buy it even if the ps4 was coming out in December and you knew there would be a gt6 or gt7 this time next year on ps4?
It would keep me happy and I would by it.
I think if they can get gt6 on ps3 out shortly then if it was graphically and driving physicswise the same as gt5 but with more premium content, multiple extra tracks all with time change, better, faster menu design, a few completely new features like livery editor etc and improvements to anything that can be improved on ps3 then they should do it.
I like many others would be "first" in the queue.

Short of a Forza-style Porsche pack that absolutely showered you in nothing but highly desireable content for your money, no I don't. Not this far after release, and not when the first DLC pack likely didn't sell that much on its own before being broken up either.

No. For 20 dollars I can buy a used game that is way better than GT5. Like really. 20 dollars for a bunch of cars and tracks that should had been already in GT5. Get real. Just let GT6 come to Ps3 or 4 I don't care. As longs as they fix everything that is really jacked up.

I just thought of another potential idea they may have. Cross-generation online compatability. Have GT6 also on PS4 at release, same physics and game design, just better graphics and also potentially 4K and triple screen support just with the one console. Can be used as a 'filler' type game on PS4 until a game capable of maximising PS4 potential is released which might still be shown off at the early stages at E3.

I understand that they need income to operate. But business just make cheap looking products just to make a quick profit. Just like fast food, they make cheap processed burgers and chicken nugets from a chicken that has been given steroids and hormones enhancers. And cows that been fed corn. But since PD has been given long enough time for GT6. Hopefully they don't screw up.

A matter of opinion and taste. A game that you'd still be playing after more than two years? I think that's unlikely for that price.
I also do not see how all previous tracks should have been in GT5 - not all tracks have carried over from previous titles - quite a few yes, but there have always been some that were dropped.
Back on topic though. If it's just tracks, cars and a redesign of priorities, this would free up more space for improvements or possibly new features such as livery editing. I think most folks would happily go for that, if for nothing else than a tide-over until the first GT title on the PS4.
Personally I like the idea of Spec III for GT5 with a big tracks pack - but I suppose that would take away from GT6.
Who knows, maybe they have some really fine ideas lined up - we'll just have to wait and see.

Which makes them a business.
You need to re-assess what you think a business is, because both Sony and PD are one and they most certainly are in it to make money. They have shareholders to answer to, fail to do that and you have no more GT.
Simply because they currently make money. Do you honestly think they would be afforded the same luxury if they didn't make money for Sony?

Wait a minute. Do you think they earn money by sponsoring a car, an event or whatever? It's the other way around. Whoever the sponsor is pays to have the company's name/logo on the car, around the track etc etc. In return the company get's commercial which may help them sell more of their product(s).

It probably would be in their best interest to give us some sort of info, absolutely. But PD are hardly the PR-wizards that other companies in the industry are, so this is about par for the course, really. If they do touch on the topic in some upcoming interview, it'll probably deal in shadowy, vague terms, like the company-favourite "soon"

Sponsorship for racing doesn't work that way around. PD/Sony will be the ones paying for the GT logo on the cars (it is after all advertising), you are also seriously over estimating how much Kaz will earn from his racing, etc. Certainly nothing close to the amount required to fund development of the GT series (I wouldn't be at all surprised if his involvement in racing is an expense rather than a form of income).

That's the reason why they're keeping things tightly lid. They're not going to say "soon"; Kaz will be revealing the exact date that any future PD game will be released. What makes you think they'll say "soon" when Kaz already made it known that he won't (and hasn't) been doing what he did for us with GT5 during its development.It probably would be in their best interest to give us some sort of info, absolutely.

And here on the internet all around the world, people are assuming it's for the money
and because it's his hobby:tup:.
Well, I'm going to go as far as saying that I don't think the PS4 will be out this year. I think it will be delayed, at least for Europe and the US. Japan might get it though. So personally I don't think the PS4 version of Gran Turismo will be out this year or in a good few years. So if there is going to be a GT6 then I think it will be on the PS3 and will be a bigger and better version of GT5.
