Gran Turismo 6 coming to PS3

[analog]

But think about it though, imagine how silly PD would look when everybody on youtube is doing direct game comparisons between f5 on the new xbox and gt6 on the ps4 (as a ps3 title).

It's just as silly to directly compare a current/previous gen title with a next gen one, everyone should know there inherently will be a difference (at least visually).
Maybe short term it could be a disadvantage image-wise as not being at the cutting edge anymore for a while, although a lot of PS3-owners not planning to upgrade anytime soon (me included) would only applaud having 2 GT-titles for PS3, but maybe long term it could be a clever strategy.

One, it proves it's still worthwhile to invest in Sony consoles if your biggest reason is buying it for GT, as 2 titles can be expected and after GT5 being a bit of a letdown in many regards, they can try to recover from that image-problem whilst simultaneously showing they'll still support an ageing system (again showing it's worthwhile to eventually invest in a PS4 too).

Secondly, it not only buys them time to make GT7 a full next gen title and avoiding the GT5 fiasco regarding content, but it could also conveniently put them out of sync regarding the development cycles of both games.
Now it's more than often Forza responding shortly after a GT-title is launched (not saying copied or anything), but with the roles reversed or at least with the cycles so out of sync that direct competition becomes largely irrelevant, it could play into their hands long term (since I'm betting Sony doesn't expect to only sell PS4's in the first years).

So would anybody be willing to buy gt6 (if its a ps3 game) with the launch of the ps4?

Yes. Will you be buying all of us a $400 PS4?

My PS3 isn't going anywhere, so why would the PS4 launch matter for whether I continue buying PS3 games?

Really, if you cant afford PS4 then they should just stop inventing stuff because some few cant pay? I hope that even more are actually happy to invest in a new gamingconsole. I mean common, how much does it really cost if you see how long it lasts? If you cant afford a new console then i feel those people have no rights to make demands.

Dude you may be made of money, not everyone is. Nobody is suggesting they stop releasing new products, that would be ridiculous, they're just saying that they may not be able to afford it straight away.

It doesn't matter how long it lasts, a console is a large chunk of money to spend in one go for a large amount of people. I've never bought one or had one bought for me at release.

Again, that's not "IGN is reporting GT6 a PS3 game." That's "IGN reporting on the thing that we already knew and were discussing in another thread."

Still doesn't mean jack rabbit to me. If sony didn't announce it then most likely it will be a estimate. Just like Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix, it is listed as 12/31/13 but when I went to gamestop they said it will most likely be pushed back. GT will probably get the same fate.

Im not made of money and i have no illusions all can afford one at start.
But what makes me irritated when people use that argument as why GT6 should be a PS3 game, because i dont have money to buy one i want it to be on the ps3. I just want a better game and if its better on PS4 then it should be a ps4 game and nothing else. If they say that the PS3 is the best platform for the next GT game and that PS4 will not be as good as PS3 then i support it too.

 

[cassiusclay99]

Mulan-> So what? you think there will be no GT at all in PS4? Of course there will be one... GT6 on PS3 just means GT on PS4 will come later... and that, to me,is a great news because a GT on PS4 later means a better GT... no more half baked game ala GT5.

At the end of the day, we can hope for a great GT6 on PS3 (i have doubts though)...and an even greater GT7 on PS3 later on (doubts here too). Win/Win

...But think about it though, imagine how silly PD would look when everybody on youtube is doing direct game comparisons between f5 on the new xbox and gt6 on the ps4 (as a ps3 title)...

Don't forget that PD have been in on the design of the PS4 and have very likely had the dev-kit for two years already.

Add to that the info that coding for the PS4 takes a lot less time, and I think that a PS4 GT title release will not be long in arriving - so a comparison shouldn't be that much of a long-standing problem.

 

[Foxiol]

I still think GT6 will be on PS4 despite the "leaks", the "lies", rumours and whatever.

It is as simple as think...Sony already announced the PS4...E3 is coming in 2 months, they are going to show the console, probably give us a release date for it (end of the year), announce more games for it to have a strong list of games so they can sell well.

Imagine Sony doing this...which is 99% probable, and then someone from PD comes to scenery and says "We have a new GT game coming...for PS3...". At least for ME that will be like..."hum yes, I´m hyped now to get the new console which is going to be amazing, tons of games, better graphics and overall capabilities, and you come here to talk me about a PS3 game which is not going to be a huge step forward from the previous one?"...

Unless they want to sell less copies of it, as it is happening with God of War Ascension or Gears of War Judgement on xBox, they should not do this.

It is true that the game can be better even while being on PS3 because if they include what it is missing, if all the cars looks the same and the list is better, if all the features are revisited and improved, if online works better (instead of P2P using dedicated servers), if they get rid of all the "useless stuff" (like paint chips and all the things that works similar, bad designed PP system, B-Spec maybe? one of the most waste of real life time features in the history of gaming...I mean it was good in GT4 because you could fast forward it but in GT5 was a waste of time with the useless AI), if they fix the AI behaviour, if they implement real life flag regulations (and spotter) and the way it works in real life race tracks and leagues, engine sounds...and maybe some more stuff...and add livery editor so we can make our own teams and stuff like that...

...Yes it can be better and we won´t need to buy a PS4 for it...cool, but look at the list of what needs to be done. On PS3?...don´t think so, at this point it just doesn´t sound even logic to me.

And this is the first time I feel the need to wait after the release (I bought the Signature Edition of GT5 -pre-ordered it-) to see some reviews and what people will think about it to decide if buying it or not.

Is it my fault? No, because I really like the series, and hell I even still like GT5 itself but in so many areas was really bad. I don´t want to happen the same in GT6 and since the lack of information given by PD...like 0%, I have my doubts about what is it going to be.

We only know that he (Kazunori) wants: "human drama"...TO ME: the bad AI in GT5, random black screens and game crashes, the bad sounds of lot of cars if not all, the lack of features or the way tons of them feel uncompleted, the way you can customize your car or collect useless thousands of paint chips, B-Spec AI or when the game decided to crash after 22 hours of the 24 hours race...REAL LIFE TIME wasted into the garbage...all that gave me some moments of human drama for sure...

PS3 or PS4 by now is just a matter of preference and some use of logic and common sense...PD has it? Not sure yet.

E3 can't come soon enough. All this back and forth speculation and guessing is still tiresome.

GT6 on PS3 makes perfect sense. It's called installed user base. That means sales numbers.

GT6 on PS4 makes perfect sense as well. GT is a system seller and thrives on new hardware technology.

On the other hand. Perhaps everyone who thinks it's on PS3 or PS4 is wrong.

It's on the Vita!

 

[Ranman20]

But what if GT6 on PS3 loops just like GT5? I would rather have it PS4 but would gladly accept it on PS3.

All you people who keep saying that everyone can't afford a PS4 at launch, I agree with that but if you're saying PD would make more money because their are a lot of people who own PS3's that play GT5- what if GT6 sucked on the PS3 and had better chances. Why would you give more money to the system that failed for GT5? I would wait a couple weeks to a couple months to save for PS4 if it means GT6 will be top notch for PS4.

You dare mention that here, HERE??!!

Once PS4 marketing starts there will be no room for PS3 games other than if they are multiplatform.
As previous mentioned, to put in GT as a ps3 game at the same time PS4 is out is suicide in so many ways it is just not possible. All i can see as a scenario is GT6 will be delayed a year or two and untill then we get a new DLC and a PS4 compatible version through Gaikai.

 

[TokoTurismo]

GT5 reminds me of Sonic 06, how everyone was disappointed but at least PD patched GT5. Hope PD would do everything they can to make GT6 th best game ever.

Yeah, ooookay.

The ideal reason to release GT6 on PS3 is the install base. I'm sure you figured that one out on your own?

Bingo!

The PS3 surpassed the Xbox 360 in total sales in January. At that time, the total reached 77 million PS3s.

Total PS4s sold: 0

Total PS3s sold: 77,000,000

What if GT6 has the same fate as GT5. Lots of loophole in volume, car noise go up and down, graphics are the same, crap gameplay.

PS3 are known to freeze often, I would rather trade in this piece of junk for a extra bonus trade in credit than have this crap PS3.

That is why releasing GT6 on both the PS3 and the PS4 would make sense.

Get those early PS4 purchasers and take an aim at the 77 million PS3 owners.

The only problem is we probably won't see any GT PS4 early on the PS4's launch window. If we're not going to see any GT early on the PS4's life, might as well release for PS3 soon, possibly this year, and in 1-2 years time, we can have GT PS4.

DriveClub... sim or not, it's a racing game using detailed, real licensed cars. It's not exactly Motorstorm, and having the game with GT's absence will probably attract early racing enthusiasts seeking for an early next gen racing experience.

I kept thinking the same thing, maybe that's Sony's plans for GT6. If so than smart move Sony. It'll be better to release GT6 now for the PS3, then next year release GT6 on PS4. 👍

What? No way. If the PS3 GT version is going to be one year apart from the PS4 version (late 2014?), they might as well start from scratch, take 1 extra year and release GT7 for the PS4. I'm betting with the ease of development, they could probably do it in two years time, meaning 2015, or early 2016, with modeling taking the bulk of the development time.

Also, considering, in one year's time, the majority of the fan base will probably already have bought and played GT6 on the PS3 version. If they're going to buy another GT on the PS4 one year later, better it'd be GT7 or even GT7.

^This.

If Sony does this, it's a very smart move from them IMO. They can make more money from both markets and please everyone.

Even if GT6 pushes the extremes of the PS3 with an advanced physics engine, new features and new cars, the PS4 version can be the one showing how the GT series looks with better physics, graphics, better frame rate and more advanced features from the PS4's capabilities.

 

[daus26]

"...the PS4 version can be the one showing how the GT series looks with better physics, graphics, better frame rate and more advanced features from the PS4's capabilities"

Again, unless they're going to release at the same time, GT6 PS4, might as well be GT7, especially if they're going to be a year apart. As for Sony being smart, I personally don't think it's smart to pit Gran Turismo with DriveClub close to each other, UNLESS we're willing to wait for GT6 PS3/PS4 for at least 2014... that's assuming DriveClub releases early into the PS4's launch window.

Why years apart? Why not at the same time? Both parties wouldn't have to wait with a simultaneous release.
