I enjoyed Prologue back then, but I think Prologue and the GTHD project were some of the reasons GT5 took so long to get released due to resources and staff having to be divided between them. I think I would prefer if they put in their staff and resource management into doing GT6 over another prologue.

Although, if they do release GT6 prologue, i would still get the game. But full management on GT6 is what I would prefer
 
Just thought about a GT6 Prologue version.

i remember the GT5 version came far before the main game released. so do you think it's possible PD will bring us a GT6 Prologue version next year?

If yes...i would buy it :)
 
Me i honestly believe GT6 won't even be on the PS3... But a prologue hmmm maybe... Slight possibility
 
If GT6 is on the PS3, it would be too late in the PS3's life if there's a Prologue and EVERY SINGLE PERSON that plays GT would be enraged for having to wait five to six years again. If GT6 is going to be on the PS4, it would make no sense to release a Prologue for the PS3.

Agreed... Man i pre-ordered GT5 for five years... I beat prologue in i want to say about a couple hours. at the time didn't even know what prologue meant... So when i got done i had this face -_- this is it? Really?... But yeah i am leaning toward everything for GT6 being on the PS4...
 
Post I found that relates to this. Nothing in this do I disagree with.


There are positives either way it ends up going down. For the future of PS4, Sony couldn't POSSIBLY get a better scenario than GT6 being a PS4 launch/window game. GT fans are hardcore, and if that were the case it would guarantee Sony millions of hardware and software sales right out of the gate.

On the other hand GT6 being a late PS3 game also has some major positives. One being PD and Yamauchi-san saving face. Now I'm not saying GT5 was some failure like fanboys on the web like to say it is. but the fact is that GT5 was one of the first ever PS3 games in development. The engine for GT5 was complete long before developers like Guerilla, Naughty Dog, Insolmniac and Santa Monica unlocked the secrets of the PS3's hardware. Their knowledge couldn't help GT5 due to the timeframes not lining up.

If GT6 were on PS3 what you would see is all that Sony 1st party knowledge of PS3's hardware being put to use in GT6, where it couldn't be put to use in GT5. Sure they made graphical adjustments to GT5 through patching in what they could. But you can't just patch into a completed game's engine the kind of software technology that makes games like GoW3, Killzone 2 and 3 and Uncharted 2 and 3 so visually stunning. That stuff can only be added to an engine when you're starting a new game.

Another advantage to GT6 being on PS3 would be sales for the game. Regardless of how many GT fanboys like myself would buy PS4 at launch just for GT6, PS3 now has a huge install base, so no matter what GT6 sales would be much greater on PS3 than PS4.

GT6 being on PS4 would be great for Sony getting PS4 off the ground. GT6 would be like a Saturn V rocket in that sense. And it would be great for PS4 early adopters to have such a high quality game at launch/in the launch window. But it wouldn't be so great for GT fans on PS3 because they never got a GT on PS3 that is IMO up to the potential of a GT on PS3.

GT6 being on PS3 would be great for gamers because you're going to get a GT up to that PS3 standard we all know it could reach. It would be great for Sony and PD in terms of sales and getting Gran Turismo's reputation back on top before next gen. But it would be bad in the sense that if GT6 comes out on PS3, it's going to be a long time into PS4's lifecycle, before a GT comes out for that hardware.

All around, it would be better for everyone as a whole for GT6 to be a PS3 game. But it would be better for PS4 itself and us gamers next gen if it were a PS4 game. I'm not exactly sure which scenario I'm in favor of when I think it through. But what I and sure of is that Sony and PD need to make their decision ASAP and let the public know. ANd if it is going to be a PS4 game.......I want more GT5 tracks in the meantime.

Basically i am really patient anyway... I don't mind waiting to find out... I am on my 8th PSN account doing GT5 fully legit and i am still having fun... I can wait

DDDAYUM!

I'm patient for these kinda things too, but for the greater good, GT6 on the PS3 would be best so that they can afford to pay for a single game straight away.

We've already got GT6 Prologue, it's called GT5! :sly:

To me it's always felt like some big experimental demo anyways.
 
GT6:P appearing would probably point to GT6 proper being on PS4. I disagree that GT6 on PS3 would be "bad for PS4", because, in terms of content at least, we aren't going to be in the same situation we were coming from GT2 to GT3 and from GT4 to GT5 - supposedly, all the content made for PS3 will be re-usable for PS4. That's pretty exciting.

I do wonder if we'll see a GT6 demo of some sort, though.
 
If GT6 gets released on PS3 (which to me seems the most likely since we're already hearing snippets of info that it's coming whilst we haven't seen anything yet on the PS4 although apparantly it does already exist according to an EA CEO) there's absolutely no need for a Prologue title since we have GT5 which can be supplemented with DLC anytime they want (unlike previous GT-titles) and create extra revenue (previously generated by Prologue titles) in the process.
 
What would be the point of a Prologue?

I think it's a good idea for the first iteration on a new system but there is no need for 6 Prologue on PS3 and frankly it would be a huge waste of development time. IMO keep DLC coming until about 6-9 months before GT6 releases. Otherwise just work on 6 THE REAL DEAL.

Or maybe Prologue for PS3 and the real deal for PS4. Ha, that would be crazy.

That hardly makes any sense.. GT5 will either get a Spec III tune-up next year or the PS4 will be released with a GT6 Prologue at launch. It would be better for the system sales if PD just do their very best to release a full game... they already have a great foundation with all the HD modelled cars and tracks from GT5.
 
Gran Turismo 5 to me is a like a huge BETA game really...

First time with cockpit views ever.

Track editor/creator for the first time.

Graphics were retouched by a bit in the latest builds. (lighting)

Physics and FFB in some steering-wheels changed twice at least. (more noticeable with G27 FFB)

Day/Night transitions for the first time.

Having 800 old cars from the previous game with only 200 new Premium cars. (hopefully is the main reason to have non realistic engine sounds...i hope)

Even the Intro changed in 2.00 update.

That and having in consideration that the graphics engine is new and was made from scratch for the upcoming titles more than the PS3 itself says it all.

GT6 has to be better...needs to be better. If not...

Exactly. GT6 Prologue would be just like GT5, but smaller (At this stage of the PS3's life that is). Therefore, the only forceable reason they may make GT6P is, of course, profits, which is probably why they will make one.

It's always the money, what else would have been the point of all previous prologues?

You can't make this assumption without knowing when the full game releases. For all we know, it might be coming out in 2020, so using this logic, Prologue would come out in 2017.

Just an FYI, there was a prologue for GT4, which was the second iteration for the PS2.
 
I just don't see it happening. I'm under the distinct impression that GT6 will be on PS3, given that a year ago I was in a debate very similar to this one and did quite a bit of snooping and searching and the little I found suggested that the PS4 (at the time) was only just entering the conceptual phase! Meanwhile GT6 had been rumored to be in the works since before GT5! I'll say the same thing now that I said then, there's no point in developing a game for a console who's hardware specs are not even finalized! (Granted, they are now and Dev kits are most likely in Developers hands, but one year ago the PS4 was a twinkle in Sony's eye while GT6 was been cut and sculpted).

With that in mind, I'm under the impression that GT6 will be on PS3 and there's no point (or proper time window) for them to release a Prologue when GT6 will most likely be what GT5 was supposed to be, anyways. You want a GT6 prologue? Play GT5.

If we get a Prologue than GT6 will be a PS4 game.

New console will arrive soon. The only chance to see a GT6 PS3 game is in 2013. I'm sure they have DLC plans for GT6. So they have to cover the GT6 release and a few DLC before the PS4 arrives.

But rumours and EA think the console will arrive in 2013. I think 2014.

EA already invested 80.000.000 for Next Gen games. In 2012 or plan to invested it in 2013.

A person from EA also said he saw the consoles already.
 
It seems that the only things on the forms are about GT6, but there is nothing about the GT6 prologue, the game that comes out before the official game. The only issue with the prologue is that it has a limited amount of cars and tracks. What cars should be include in the prologue? What tracks? And what should be saved for GT6. If you find any info on the prologue post it as well.
 
GT5 is GT6:Prologue

Brand new cars and tracks. Absolutely not a single thing that was included in GT5, and nothing that's not "premium".
 
Hopefully there won't be a prologue. The only reason there was a GT5 Prologue was because the full game was taking so long to develop.
