Gran Turismo 6 coming to PS3

oi.. ps3? I hope its PS3 and PS4 release!
Also I hope PS4 will be very optimized. I do not care for more flashy graphics but more ram and more CPU power can bring more cars on a track as well more detail. PS3 would be OK I guess, but very very limiting!
 
GT6 (on PS3 just before PS4 release)

GT7: Concept demo (on PS4, couple of cars, 1 track free in PS Store)

GT7: Prologue (on PS4 6-12 months after release)

GT7 (1-2 years after prologue)

Thats my guess.... For now!

Its funny how people say Gran Turismo on PS4 mid 2014 wont sell as much as a PS3 version released this year

Please see Gran Turismo 3. It is the highest selling Gran Turismo and it was released only 8 months after the Playstation 2 launch.

Yes, GT3 was released over a year after the Japanese launch, but Japanese GT3 sales account for just 15% of the 15 million GT3 units shipped. 85% of those 15 million copies were sold in regions that only had the PS2 for 8 months

Gran Turismo 3 sales

7,140,000 - North America
5,850,000 - Europe
1,890,000 - Japan

I believe there is a very high chance GT6 on PS4 would severely outsell GT6 on PS3 in the long run. Not to mention the attach rate of new PS4 consoles

Why would it become incompatible? We recently even got a great update for the T500RS, making rally and drifting significantly more enjoyable.

I was quoting Something about PS4. The DS4 has a touch pad and other do-dads on it. SONY gave zero assurance that existing peripherals would be compatible with the PS4. But they did say there is no backwards compatibility with old games. I don't want to morph this into a PS4 thread.

Thank the gods there's another sane person here. Yes, the implication is, that if you don't agree with this proposition, you're insane.

Monetarily speaking, the only important factor in any game release, if its released on PS3, they'll get less money sooner, but if released on PS4 they'll get 'much' more money later, this is Sony I'm talking about.

Sony want the PS4 to be a success, that has a higher chance if they have a GT game on it, either immediately or soon afterward, if they put GT6 on PS3 they'll have to restart the whole thing again for GT7 on PS4, which is just so illogical.

Think about this as well - the PS4 SDK has been officially released only recently, it is very possible that PD has had access to this for possibly 2-3 years before its 3rd party/public release, meaning the entire time it has been virtually sitting on its hards post GT5, it could've been working on GT6. This would make sense too.

My biggest gripe, is people pretending that its a sure thing, due to one executive confidently saying that it would be so, once, and with no confirmation from anyone else from either Sony or PD themselves, which is madness.

While it makes the most sense for GT6 to be released with/soon after the PS4, I do hold the possibility that it'll be released on PS3, I just think that it's a less favourable scenario, despite the fact it'll be cheaper for me to buy, and with possibly all of the cars and tracks and whatever else content of my dreams, I won't buy a PS4 until GT7 then, which could be until 2018, by which time I'd expect there to be a PS5.
 
To be quite honest, my money is on a Sony executive knowing what he is talking about.

Especially when Sony didn't say it was a mistake.

We can all play 'business expert' all we want; All we know is at this current time it is very possible GT6 is a PS3 game.

I think GT6 is 98% ready and they were going to announce it on the 20th....but....


On the 19th of February Kaz was so excited he couldn't sleep. He thinks to himself. "I might as well run a couple of laps around Route X." Kaz fires up the PS3, selects GT5. Into the garage, sort by make, select Nissan

GTR Black Edition '12.

Open Lobby. Checking network environment. Connect to server. Race for real. Special Stage Route X.
It looks quiet in here, almost too quiet. There's only one other car. It's a Honda Civic.

Kaz waves, then accelerates slowly. The Honda doesn't respond. Maybe he fell asleep already.

1, 2, 3, 4 miles pass. 5000rpm. 6th gear. Kaz counts to seven and checks the rear view mirror.
He notices a set of headlights, and they are approaching quickly. Very quickly. Kaz plants his foot and starts to build momentum, but it's too late. The headlights have caught up. They are now beside him. Kaz looks over. Is that, that, that Civic?

With an almighty roar and a cloud of smoke, the Honda Civic chirps into 4th gear and starts to pull away.




















It disappears into the distance.








Kaz suspects this Civic may have been illegally modified. He pulls over, activates his iphone and gently caresses the gtplanet.net/forum bookmark.

Hybrid Trading Thread (Ran Across a 3,000 hp EK Civic Tonight)

Kaz lets out a :dejected: emoticon. :nervous: He has a lot of work to do.

There are hackers to catch. Cars to impound.

A patch to code. A code to patch.

There will be no GT6 until GT5 is secure.

I don't know the figures, but I'm sure PS2 would have had much larger console sales after launch than PS3 or PS4 is likely to have. GT6 will not release on PS4 with a small console base. Whilst it will drive console sales, only Sony number crunchers will have an idea of the most profitable balance between the scenarios.
 
Every first GT game on the consoles have sold more than it's successor. It was the case with GT1 and GT2 on PS1 and GT3 and GT4 on PS2. It will be the same with GT5 and GT6 on PS3 and possibly the next two GT games for PS4. It's the newness factor. Everyone wants to see the new game on the next-gen console. It does not mean the second game is worse than the first (hence GT1 and 2). If they are going to release a game just because it sells more, than it's going to be only one game per console. GT6 on PS3 would be improved content wise and more optimised for PS3.
Also, GT is not the only exclusive Sony has to sell the PS4. There's Killzone, InFamous and the upcoming Uncharted, Little Big Planet and others. I believe those are enough to sell a lot of consoles.

Actually what I speculated (and I can only speak for myself) is that if PD have been working on GT6 already an imminent release of GT6 on the PS3 followed by a release of GT7 on the PS4 around 12 months after launch would be the most financially viable option for both Sony and PD.

The PS3 will continue to sell in markets outside its existing core (as Sony have clearly said they will push) and as such the tail for a PS3/GT6 could be very large indeed. While a GT title on the PS4 around 12 months after launch would allow a large enough install base for it to be worthwhile (it would be insane to launch it early and have it be seen as a launch failure due to a lack of install base) and also allow production of consoles to be at a pace to match those who wanted to buy a PS4 and GT together.

What I did say is that a GT title at launch for the PS4 wouldn't work. It would cannibalism sales from Drive Club and not shift any additional machines (which will always be a key factor in a title such as GT), making it counterproductive at best.

A great deal is also being made by a few that Sony/PD have not confirmed the SVP's statement, which I believe is missing the point. Its far more informative in my opinion that they haven't corrected it, rather they have left his comment to stand (and they have been asked repeatedly).
 
It is probable that GT6 would see more long term sales on PS4. But Sony would make greater profit selling two games instead of one (GT6 on PS3 and then GT7 for PS4). They've done the heavy lifting with GT5; now they can reap the reward with GT6. If money is the determining factor than Gran Turismo 6 should be a PS3 game.

What bugs me is the idea that Polyphony Digital is naturally a very slow moving company. I disagree with this; just because they have chosen to take their time with games in the past doesn't mean they have to be slow in the future. It is possible that we see a PlayStation 3 game this year and a next-gen title relatively soon after. GT2 and 3 arrived in quick succession after the original Gran Turismo, and if P.D. decide to repeat that strategy they are capable of doing it. It will be a choice.

If they have 300+ PS4 quality premium models ready to go, and develop GT7 while finishing GT6, they could just pull it off. That's surely wishful thinking but it would generate the most profit, and could even be possible.

Either way the future is full of possibilities.

I always expect executives to say what they think their audiences want to hear and figure people will get over it and if they must, do damage control later.

Most 'normal' people don't stay worked up over being lied to for long, it's on to the next lie before you know it.
 
There's no way in hell that Sony could rely on PD to produce a launch window GT for PS4, no way at all. Hence drive club.

If GT6 is a PS3 game then expect a long window for a PS4 release, or a shorter one for a bare bones version. IMHO.

I think it's not unreasonable to imagine that even if gt6 is a ps3 title, work has already started on gt7, and I can certainly imagine a gt7 prologue title within a year of ps4 launch.
Nobody can know, except pd, just how detailed their tracks and cars already are. But even just using the photo mode premium models in-game, with much nicer lighting, shadows, anti aliasing and other effects would look next-gen, wouldn't it? High res textures, more objects around the tracks etc etc. Maybe they have all these things already!
 
you guys are killing me: we have the SCEE vice-president saying very clearly that GT6 is coming to PS3 (in a conversation where he demonstrates that they still have huge titles to come on PS3)...

We have a launch window title that is clearly in the same kind as GT (Driveclub)...

We have the fact that PD NEVER made a launch title... and is famous for releasing its games at its own pace...

We have the fact that GT6 on PS3 would bring a ******** of money to Sony (at a time where they seriously need it). Man, GT6 sales could finance half the RAM upgrade overcost!

But still... some here prefer to believe that:
1) Michael Denny made a mistake... (yeah right! on the biggest and most strategic playstation franchise... sure...)
2) Sony will release 2 car games (GT6 and Driveclub) at the same time on a console that has no install base whatsoever... and then waste 2 of its most talented studios in a ridiculous internal competition for costumers money...
3) Sony can afford to renounce the 50 millions ( very low estimation) that GT6 on PS3 would make.

Seriously? PS4 won't be here before almost a year... and won't have an significant install base before long... PS3 is going to finance PS4 efforts for a while...

I am dying to get a new GT on PS3 as I felt betrayed in every possible way by PD with GT5.
And I am not ready to wait another 2 or 3 years to get a finally enjoyable GT. (GT5 UI, loading times, and framerate seem to punish me everytime I want to play).

Bring us GT6 or GT5 SPec 3 to clean your reputation PD.

2) Why not?
3) ...can't they? I mean, they aren't what people would call a small company.

GT5 IS an enjoyable game. Impatience is what makes it not enjoyable (and most of people in online lobbies). Don't forget it's been out for over 2 years now!
PD's reputation remains unscathed.

2 GT games 12 month apart is un heard of ,The thing is no one know what PD have in store for next gen.will it be a complete re model of the physics engine,a re model of cars,tracks etc?
 
I think GT6 for the PS3 will be the game we were hoping for in GT5.

I like the idea of DriveClub being a launch or near launch title on the PS4. I imagine that PD didn't receieve the PS4 dev kit too long ago (maybe late 2011- early 2012), thus, the "blank canvas" comment. I'd not expect GT7 until probably 2015ish on the PS4.


Patience is a virtue! At least we'll be getting another GT title in the near future.

Assuming the PS4 sells similar to the PS3, there won't be any launch consoles left regardless of a GT title or not. As Scaff alluded to earlier, launch consoles tend to sell out. Why waste GT6 on a smaller, already satisfied audience?

I don't see the logic in this. If GT5 wasn't the game we, or PD wanted it to be, how will GT6 do it on the same hardware restrictions?

Because GT5 (to me) was disappointing despite it's hardware limitations, not because of it.

Putting GT6 on PS4 won't fix A-Spec or the paint "system"
