Gran Turismo 6 coming to PS3

[Grand Prix]

They would have decided what system to make GT6 for 3 years ago at least. As much as I think PD are lazy with some of their design choices, I don't think they've been sitting around doing nothing all these years.

There are a few possible scenarios I can see.

1) They are polishing up GT6 for PS3, having been working on it since GT5's release.
2) They are actually working on GT Vita.
3) GT Vita is a port of GT6 on PS3, so they effectively would have to work on a game with two systems in mind.
4) They were working on a GT6 for PS3, but decided to abandon it as soon as they received the PS4 devkits, so they could work on a PS4 GT6 instead, throwing away a crap load of valuable time and money in the process.

Option 4 doesn't seem that realistic to me. Option 1 makes the most sense to me; sell what you've been working on for three years and then focus on GT7 for the PS4 after. Options 2 and 3 are hilarious, but strangely possible.

 

[CorvetteConquer]

At this point, the only questions that should remain are:

1. Will PS4 see GT6?

2. When does GT Vita release?

I am not sayIGN is the source to gravitate too just passing information that actually makes sense

I'm not beating you up about it, please don't take it as though I was. IGN just runs me the wrong way. Sorts like GameTrailers.com calling themselves "GT".

I think the cover car is a Aston Martin vanquish,or a viper

There's a separate thread for this.

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT DLC ? did you read the article or watch the video ???????

That video is actually about a month old. And if their argument was correct, Microsoft should continue to release Halo, Forza and other big titles on the consoles with the biggest install base for as long as they can. And Sony should continue to release Uncharted, Killzone, God of War and other titles for the PS3 as long as they can.

Theres plenty of evidence backing a PS4 release for GT6

A tuner Garage titled an album showing PD workers around their cars "SCAN FOR GRAN TURISMO PS4". The content was almost immediately pulled down and removed. The thread was even locked and the GTPlanet news post on the front page removed link

 

[SlowInFastOut]

or in a world where they don't plan to release GT6 for at least a year after the PS4 is on the market.

Sounds about right, what makes you think GT6 would be a launch title anyway when it hasn't even been announced yet? Typically it's anywhere from a year to two years between announcement and release date for PD, delays are inevitable.

 

[jimipitbull]

Making track and car DLC for PS3 in 2015 (which they will have to do) doesnt make sense

Why would they have to add DLC in 2015? Doesn't make sense.

Regardless, Sony have said PS3 will be supported until at least 2015

What I wanted to say actually was that I just want a happy coexistance of both NextGen consoles in my living room, some time in the (near) future. But that could only happen with MS to change their policies concerning member rip-off and wheel compatibilty.

Wait, do we even know for certain the PS4 will be Logitech wheel compatible?

I wonder myself. lol

Excatly, thus GT6 on PS3.

 

[TheJudge2009]

That white GTR like car we all saw in the video which obviously isn't in the game sure has a similar silhouette to the car under the sheets in this:

It doesn't look completely alike but the length of it does sort of resemble it. The rear is off though.

I wouldn't want GT6 to be a launch game for PS4, because early new console games never make full use of the system's power. Look at PS3 games from 2007 or so...they look pretty bad by today's standards.

4) They were working on a GT6 for PS3, but decided to abandon it as soon as they received the PS4 devkits, so they could work on a PS4 GT6 instead, throwing away a crap load of valuable time and money in the process.

Option 4 doesn't seem that realistic to me.

I just wanted to reiterate something about this. Periodically someone will post about how they won't buy PS4 at launch because they can't afford a $600 console, or that PS4 will take time for developers to get up to speed on it.

PS4 is practically using off the shelf technology this time. The $100-200 Blu-ray drive is now cheap, and terrabyte hard drives aren't all that expensive in bulk purchases. Neither is DDR5 ram. AMD will be providing the APU (CPU and GPU on the same die), and while highly customized, it's based on mature chip technology.

Another thing is that as a result, PS4 will essentially be a gaming PC. It won't be much different than the devkit PCs the developers program on. Because of a number of clever things SONY tech people like Mark Cerny worked into the architecture to give it some longevity, no, developers won't have squeezed everything out of it within a few months. But it's going to be a breeze to code for compared to PS2 and 3, and the power available to them right from the start will be immense, and easy to use.

I had forgotten that, Earthling. Thanks for reminding me.

Still, who knows? We should know for sure Wednesday, but I'm telling you guys, I won't be surprised which system it's coming out on because anything can happen in this crazy market environment.

amar212 stated on NeoGAF that no one should come away disappointed by GT6, and whatever he means, I'm quietly optimistic that he's absolutely right.

By the way, I wanted to shout out a thanks to whoever sent me the Nissan 270R.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

Hm, this may be digging deep into the wishing well, but what if they got GT6 super optimized, and it'll be available on the PS3 and PS4?

When EA released NASCAR 08 or 09 on multiple platforms, the PS3 and PS2 versions were very different from one another. Actually, the PS2 version even had Whelen Open Wheel Modified cars, the PS3 didn't. I'm hoping for a dual release of GT6. I'd buy both. I would most certainly be buying a PS4 in Feb (tax refund season) following the launch, so would my son.

Need For Speed: ProStreet did too, I believe.

But the PS3 will be dead in 6 months, who is going to buy a PS3 game in 2014? LOL

 

[Nismo34]

And NFS: Undercover. World maps were entirely different from one another.

Not everyone is born with silver spoons. It will be several years before PS4 is affordable for a lot of people.

The last PS2 game was released in March 2013 - 13 years after PS2 launch

People still buy N64 consoles and games, can fetch good $$$ on ebay

Not sure why you would LOL at that

And to add to that, isn't Project CARS coming out in 2014 for PS3?

Read jimipitbull's post. He's made many good reasons for you to understand. Thank you jimipitbull. 👍 I mean. I'm even attempting to get Enthusia, and that's a PS2 game that released in 2004 or 05.

This is what I anticipate as well, if GT6 is made for both Playstations. It's almost a no-brainer that PD will want to take advantage of all that ram and computing power in PS4 to do some miraculous stuff. Damage has to be better, weather effect modeling and environment effects, lighting and shadows - as I posted before, just imagine night racing on the PS4 with a GPU able to render proper headlights on a number of cars, not just four. No jaggies, slowdown or screen tearing. An HD Course Maker that's a terrain sculptor as in ModNation Racers. A Movie Maker, seeing as PS3 still has 256 megs of system ram which made this impossible in 2010. Much better physics, sound and bot A.I. on a console that has far more processor power than the average gaming PC. 24 to 32 car fields making serious multiclass racing a reality. And GT6 on PS4 will be made to take advantage of Gaikai cloud networking, not to mention very quick loading and downloading in background while we play. Spectate online clubs and leagues, save their replays and use them in Photomode shoots. The Livery Editor could have Photoshop-like power. Jeepers, I could drool all day about what's possible on PS4 that would have PS3 gasping for breath.

If PD does produce GT6 for both systems, I'm probably getting both too.

Funny, because I was going to do the very same if PD did release GT6 on both PS3 and PS4. I may even buy it on Vita as well. DriveClub will have a best friend beside it (GT6).

What Amar said about the GT fans won't be disappointed, is really believable. Then again I already believe him in everything haha. Amar rocks! 👍

All I'm asking for are: AE86 (premium), NOS, and Ebisu.

Tell me if I am wrong but isn't that mysterious white car a Saleen S7?

Could be but I've been in a Caterham at Silverstone and they just used the Stowe circuit which doesn't use any of the main circuit so multiple events can take place concurrently.

I do hope all circuits will be modelled at Silverstone. There are at least 4 and there is also a short rally circuit there I had a track day on. Flat and a mixture of shale and mud. Lots of fun. Maybe the go kart track we saw in gtacademy programme?

I think you are right. I also thought about a secondary track...

Sony just turned their first profit in years, the yen is at a 4 year low, and theres this event next week. Sony is on a roll so look for a big push on the ps4 in the near future. Analysts are expecting it to be Sony's catalyst to be 'relevant' again in the world of Apple and Samsung. A lot of them are saying details will be crucial like starting price to catch the crowd. There is a chance we will hear more on this next week so stay tuned for more than just GT news! 👍

 

[GranTurismoer]

Looking at amars comments I fear a messy multi platform release too. I can't help but think the PS4 could get an upscaled PS3 version. If this happens I would feel those shelling out £££ for the PS4 will be shortchanged with a weak GT title.

Please don't go down this road PD, I'd much rather see a GT7 Prologue (very different from a possible upscaled GT6) being released say first quarter 2014 for PS4, then the full real next gen GT7 either Nov '14 or soon thereafter.

GT6 should be a PS3 only game.
