I am shocked at the amount of negativity about GT6 coming out on the PS3. I would think everyone would be happier - I know I am.
Ragequit, really? I am so looking forward to having my hat explode into flames with all of the new tracks. Playing online every night gets a little boring running the same tracks over and over. I cant wait to see a field of 16(or more) cars jumping up the stairs at Seattle.
Do you people think that PD is NOT working on the next gen release?
Much of the work they are doing now for GT6 on the PS3 will also be used in GT7 on the PS4. There is no need for a car that is more detailed than the premium cars in GT5. I am sure there will be many more in GT6 hopefully all of the cars will be of premium quality.
The PS3 GT engine was written years ago and is still a work in progress.
I am sure that when the PS4 GT engine is ready, they will attach the higher resolution cars and tracks they are working on now for GT6 and release the rumored (GT7) Prologue.
I agree 100%. GT6 on PS3 would provide a quick amount of money that would help make a PS4 Gran Turismo. They can shovel out DLC if they need extra money. They can't milk GT5 for much longer.

They can't shovel out DLC. If they could they would have done so already.
Of course, GT5 DLC could have just been a way of trying the concept. How frequent DLC will be released in the future might depend on how much the GT5 DLC sold.

Sure I dream of what Gran Turismo can do with the PlayStation 4, but I can't see a PS3 game as being a bad thing. In fact, I would be disappointed if GT5 was the only PS3 game. So I guess it's true you can't please all of the people all of the time.
My suggestion would be to keep an open mind, and try to appreciate GT6 for what it is once it's been released. It will probably be a lot of fun regardless of what console it's made for.

I don't care which console the game gets released on. All I care about is the content in the game; bringing back some classic tracks, bring in some new, real life cars (but don't drop any of the current premium cars, just add to them).
Either I buy a PS4 in hopes that GT6 will roll out in the near future on a new, exciting console, or I save myself some money and play it on the PS3 sooner. It's win-win for me.

I'm still getting a PS4 eventually but GT6 on PS3 means I just won't be getting a PS4 anytime soon. Had GT6 been a launch (or very close to system launch) title I'd be day 1 buyer of both system and game. I think Sony might be doing a big mistake here releasing GT6 on PS3 but I won't mind. I just hope that they did away with the premium vs standard split, polished up the menus and career structure and released a finished game. Some more tracks would be a bonus even if they are well polished legacy tracks. Car count I don't need the Pokemon craze of buying 1000+ cars, and I'd prefer no dealership split. If I want to buy a mk1 Rabbit GTI, let me as is.
GT (not prologue nonsense) are one of the few titles I need to own the day it releases so regardless of system I'm day 1 on the game.

Although that maybe true, Sony is going to release PS4 this year and might just launch their biggest franchise sequel on it's previous version without the means to play it if BC doesn't work on the new system. I still think Sony has something up their sleeves but GT6 on PS3 around the same time PS4 launches without BC would be a major dunce move on their part. But that's what happens when you allow a developer to milk you for all the development time they want. Game launch and new system launch don't seem to be aligned at all. Could explain why we saw Driveclub instead of GT6 at Sony's press release. Could you imagine how much talk would be going on still to this day had it been GT6 instead of Driveclub??

GT6 (PS3) could go on sale several months before the PlayStation 4 launches in europe, Gran Turismo's biggest market. From what I've heard the system may not go on sale there until 2014. I don't think a next gen GT will come out until at least end of next year regardless of what happens with the PS3. Obviously a Gran Turismo game will be a big deal for the new console, but I really don't think that Sony needs it right now. If GT6 is PS3/Vita game it could be a great thing for the Sony brand as a whole and GT7 could fuel PS4 sales when the newness starts to wear off. There's also the possibility of Gaikai for backwards compatibility.
Speaking for myself, I like that PD take time with their games.
I think it's a great time to be a Gran Turismo fan. Things were a bit dodgy for a while but I think the future will be better.

Per Sony's own press release, PS4 is out this holiday 2013. GT6 hasn't even been announced yet and we know how PD slips on launch dates. I can see PS4 having BC via Gaikai as some PSN+ feature and GT6 would be the perfect game to promote that service. I would surely bite but the incentive to buy a PS4 for me is gone if GT6 can be played on my PS3. Had GT6 been a PS4 title, I'd buy a PS4. That's where I see the goof up happening.
Then again PD could release a GT6P on PS3 (and I hate the idea of Prologue games btw) with GT6 being a PS4 game. To me that makes more sense but I hope PD aren't wasting their times with a Prologue.
I also like that a developer takes time with their games but that isn't true with GT5 seeing as the bulk of content was ported and the game was released broken requiring several patches.

Yes Sony is planning a holiday 2013 release, but that doesn't mean it will be available everywhere.
"Were told that PlayStation 4 will launch in Japan and the US by Christmas, with a Euro rollout following in early 2014, the delay attributed to the complexities involved in European distribution." Edge: http://www.edge-online.com/news/playstation-4-revealed/
When asked about the launch timing Shuhei Yoshida said "It's too early to say,".

Umm...no. How was the majority of content ported. Despite the looks of the standard cars, I doubt many were direct ports from PS2 - the tracks certainly weren't.
The game wasn't broken in the least - it ran just fine and the patches were more of a response to people clanging on about having to spend so much time to get levelled up or buy the faster cars.

Just imagine: The next GT Academy will be opened this spring (let's say in May) and it will be based on GT6, but it will revealed afterwards. When GTA 2013 is over, GT6 will be out as Sony/PD would thus utilize the hype around the Academy.
GT6 would be released this holiday season for PS3 and as a launch title for PS4. Amazing.
But won't happen because it sounds too good ;-)

I'd rather think of it as a delay.
I really don't want it on PS3 and here's why.
1. GT5 did a lot to push it to the limits, graphics wouldn't be much, if any better.
2. It would probably just feel like an update, reason why? ^
3. It is the end of the ps3's life cycle, if we get it now, that would mean the same thing with GT5, would happen with GT7 on the PS4, no new GT until close to the end of it's life.
4. That would mean all this wasted time with a system with so much potential, and no new GT.
5. ( this one's really bad for them.) The racing game that debuted at the reveal looked really, really good. That could skyrocket ahead of GT in the fame department.
So in case, please bring me GT6 on the PS4, please.
This is the stuff right here, complete agreement.
And I wish the executives saw it that way, perhaps they will and the other one is just a PR idiot. Or a PR genius, sure the information may be false but look at all the hype we have over GT6 because of it.
Besides, the PS3 already has an excellent game in GT5, flawed to be sure, but none the less excellent. I do have to concede that unfortunately there is a grave possibility for GT6 on PS3, it'd have to be the least loved GT in years, why would anyone buy it? Superior content? It'd need to have so many new cars that I want before I did, like 50 new modern cars at least. What else is there? A slightly improved A Spec and a few more tracks? It just couldn't address as many concerns that GT5 raised a GT6 on PS4 could, that's a certainty.

Even if touched up, there were cars and tracks that got port work (and these were the norm or bulk of content, not the exception), many of which have been touched up throughout the patches released as some were piss poor. Standard cars are obvious in quality and feature disparity compared to the premiums. Track wise, as some examples, Trial Mountain and High Speed Ring are not on par with Rome or London. The former feel like they are HD remastered whereas the latter look phenomenal and current gen.
And yes it was broken. Before the patch work there were bugs that would corrupt your file save just by simply accessing a feature in the game, the museum cards. There were races in A and B spec that required standard cars where the OCD patch now has a pickup truck and a Formula GT in every update to resolve this issue. Licenses no longer mean anything aside from an event to gold, where previous GT games did it right by having you complete a license to enter certain events. Do I need to even mention the amount of grinding you were forced to do just to buy cars or unlock events in career?? You could complete every unlocked event and be forced to repeat events dozens of times to level up xp just to unlock the next event, and higher you got the worse and more grinding was required. There is more but i will leave it at that. Many of the patches resolved the game breaking issues and poorly rushed state GT5 was at launch. This isn't even discussing the standard cockpit patch that many racers play in exclusively. These are reasons why I want no standards in GT6. And I sure hope that PD spends some QA testing as many of GT5 issues were obvious just by play testing the game.

1. There's more to a game than graphics. Content would be nice.
2. It's all "updates", that's how progress works.
3. No reason they can't pull a GT3 on us again and co-develop two separate games on two separate consoles.
4. Not really a separate point, given it's conditional on 3.
5. Drive Club isn't the same kind of game; it looks more like a "social" PGR combined with whatever lean pickings are left on the remains of what NFS used to be. Plus it's a Sony title, they'd know better than to allow the two to clash in any way - "synergy" is the buzz-word of the decade; or last, I don't care.
None of this means that GT6 won't be on PS4, just that your justifications aren't exactly concrete. But that's why we're still discussing this endlessly, circularly, and will continue to do so until we hear something more concrete.

I remember being excited for a PS3 GT title. I thought the new console's power would make GT5 INCREDIBLE. But as we saw, content is king. GT5 is terrible because its content is terrible. Standard cars, no livery editor, boring and short A-spec mode, many recycled events, etc etc.
It's the content that will drive the next GT game and I'm not too sure waiting another 2-4 years for a PS4 GT title is the answer. I do welcome a 2013 PS3 release with new courses and brand new cars, a revised online experience and an A-spec career that is socially integrated. And more vehicle customization. Come on, the PS3 can handle this. Heck, the PS2 could have, too!

Its been reported a while ago that Kaz is not in favour of micro-transactions. Which is why when the DLC started to dry up, I suspected that the pool of materials that are possible to release were being saved for a new title. I don't expect significant DLC for GT6 either; because as far as tracks go - it segregates the online community, and the associated updates/patches have a dubious success rate.

I really do think we should look at like this...
https://www.gtplanet.net/library/gran-turismo-3/
https://www.gtplanet.net/library/gran-turismo-4/
GT3 - 180 Cars
GT4 - 700 Cars
GT3 - 20 Tracks
GT4 - 50 Tracks
http://www.gtvault.com/gt3/event-list/
http://www.gtvault.com/gt4/event-list/
GT3 - 85 Events for 336 Races
GT4 - 177 Events for 556 Races
Why can't we expect the same type of increase going to GT6 even if it's on the PS3?
I would be more then happy to see this play out on a PS3 GT6.

I definitely agree, but my fear is that GT6's A-spec will just be stuffed with the mindless seasonals we've been seeing. AI needs some work and those races can be fun, you know, an actual race!

I agree! Even if PD usues same game engine as well same visuals just bump it up to full 1080p as well more AA to smooth it out. How much more detail more cars on one race would they put in would be insane! maybe even better sound!
