POLL: Happy or unhappy with GT6 going on PS3?

[TokoTurismo]

Hello guys, Toko here makin another thread again.

This time, I want to know whether you're happy or unhappy with GT6 going to PS3. Votes are added to the poll so share your thoughts and cast in your votes.



EDIT: The poll will end on June 10th 2013, the day Sony's press conference begins at E3.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I would be happy with GT6 coming to PS3 if the PS4 was coming out around 2015. Despite this concern about the release period (not date), as long as it satisfies me, I don't really care.

 

[ImaRobot]

I think, for me, I would be a pleased if GT6 would just stay on PS3, and instead of porting it to PS4, they should just Improve alot things over GT6, and call it GT7.

If it comes to PS4 aswell, then its obviously going to better in every way compared to its twin brother on PS3, thats my reasoning. The PS3 users with the game, that arent able to afford a new console will get the shaft.

All in all though, I would have rather it came out specifically for PS4 though. Way more possibilities.

 

[stiggygonzalez]

I'm very happy with GT6 coming to PS3.
I would be disappointed with just GT5 only being on PS3 because we all know PD can do better with current gen.
I'm glad they're still supporting PS3 and it seems PD know they can do better.
I look forward to seeing/hearing new info at E3 and can't wait for the demo.
As for PS4 PD may release GT6/7 in 2014/15,this'll give them time to make something truly remarkable.(I hope)
Not that GT6 can't be remarkable on PS3 toko.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

I am happy that it is on the PS3 and I would not really want it ported for the PS4.

Rather than wasting time porting to the PS4 they should begin work of GT7 for the PS4 and continue to support,update and provide DLC for GT6 for at least 1 year if not more.

I can not understand why anyone would not be happy that it is coming on the PS3 and that it is coming this year. If it were to be a PS4 title then more than likely we would be waiting at least another 2 years before we see it and for all we know we could see GT7 by then or soon after for the PS4 which may or may not rock our world.

I am happy that I do not have to lay out $$$ for the PS4 just to play the newest version of my favorite PS game.

 

[Ferrari458Italia]

I thought it was a really stupid idea. The PS4 is coming around a month away from GT6 so why not just make it a launch title for the PS4 and blow our minds with new/better features and a smoother and faster gameplay??
but it is whatever, I'm also kind of happy because I won't have to buy a launch PS4 and I can wait until price drop since I only want a PS4 for Gran turismo and a couple of other side games haha

 

[CodeRedR51]

I don't feel like (and can't afford) purchasing a new system for a while, so yes.

 

[NeuroticVows]

either way, GT6 is coming. plus if it is coming this holiday season and so is Driveclub on PS4 this holiday season will be amazing for racing sims. GT6 on PS3, Driveclub on PS4 and Forza on xbox one. it is one of the best times to be a race sim lover

 

[Tornado]

There's more of a chance that I'll actually get it on PS3, so whatevs.

 

[Foxiol]

The most affordable version made me happy...so PS3 yeah made me happy. Hope the game delivers but I know it can do a little bit more on the PS4.

Voted for third option.

 

[Earth]

As someone who plans on purchasing a PS4 day one, theres no way that I can be happy. I didnt care about backwards compatibility in the PS4 because by the time the PS4 comes out theres not suppose to be a PS3 game out there thats worthy of my time. Now Sony is asking me to set aside the PS4 for possibly hundreds of hours to play GT6 on PS3.

Other issues with GT6 on PS3 are well documented. Inferior graphics to next gen racers, inferior online features like no gameplay share or live streaming, inferior network, inferior load times, and massive installs still needed thanks to slow PS3 bluray drive. Not everyone is going to have a headset like PS4. No DS4 touchpad input for menu navigation. No improved DS4 analogue sticks for driving controls.

And Im waiting on what cuts will be made to make the game perform better then GT5. The GT6 Silverstone demo framerate wasn't exactly rock solid. T

If it were to be a PS4 title then more than likely we would be waiting at least another 2 years before we see it..

Theres really no proof for this. Another 2 years would mean GT6 on PS4 would have been in development for 5 years. Its not like GT6 car models are not up to next gen standards, and would require more work. They are, at least in photo travel. In game they lose over half their detail.

From GT4 to GT5 the cars went from 5,000 polygons ingame to 200,000 polygons ingame, thanks to a 16 fold increase in memory etc over the PS2. GT5 cars are around 500,000 polygons in phototravel. So simple math says a PS4 console, which has 16x the memory of PS3 etc, could handle a rather large field (30+) of 500,000 polygon photomode cars quite easily.

...and for all we know we could see GT7 by then or soon after for the PS4 which may or may not rock our world.

Im starting to have a feeling GT7 on PS4 will be coming sooner rather then later, which makes GT6 on PS3 this late in the game even more pointless. But thats just me

 

[diegorborges]

Same here! Happy on PS3 too.

 

[Gejabo]

I am planning on getting the PS4 on launchday.
But not going to throw out my PS3 anyway. (as the PS4 is not backwards compatible)
So actually is doesn't really matter to me.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

Theres really no proof for this. Another 2 years would mean GT6 on PS4 would have been in development for 5 years.

No proof that is true. I also do not know when the final spec for the PS4 was decided. You can not do much in the way of writing code for a console until you have details of the console. The PS4 is much different than the PS3 which means a lot of the stuff that was just plug and play from GT5 for GT6 on the PS3 may need a complete re-write to work on the PS4. There is almost 0 chance they could have had it ready for release on the PS4 this year in the same state that it will be for the PS3.

Aside from that it was pretty clear to me that the intent was to release it for the PS3 back when GT5 was released. I would have been a bit shocked if they said it was going to the PS4 and very shocked it it was available this year for the PS4 and not the PS3.

 

[Samus]

Kaz said GT6 was in development before GT5 was released so if GT6 arrived in two years time then yeah, that would be true.

 

[Ramosis]

I sure will buy GT6 at first day, but in reality I want this game for PS4.

 

[HarVee]

I'm quite happy with Polyphony's choice to release GT6 on the PS3 system.

 

[TokoTurismo]

Well done sharing your thoughts guys. I don't really want this thread to fall down into an argument, so lets keep that to its lowest minimum.

So far the votes looks to be very good. 👍

Come on others, share your thoughts and cast in your votes.

 

[Yukon]

Yes, I'm glad it's on PS3. I didn't really have any intention of buying a new system after what I seen at the reveal. This means I don't have to now.

 

[Earth]

The results of this poll really doesnt surprise me. 10% lines up with the amount of PS3 owners who will be getting a PS4 at launch.

Watch Dogs is coming to what, 4 or 5 different consoles at the end of this year, including PS3 and PS4?

PS3 is the problem here, not PS4. Spending time dabbling with and trying to extract the extra photon particle out of the thickle PS3 is in no way more efficient then just throwing the game onto the much more powerful PS4 hardware.

Im curious how you explain Turn 10 can get a game out for launch, but for Polyphony Digital its impossible. Maybe you've just come to expect, or worse, accept, Polyphony Digital's overly long development cycles?

More efficient in what way? If they can pull in $600-800Million on GT6 on PS3 in the next two years then launch a whizbang GT7 on PS4 when the install base is much highter in another 2-3 years that sounds pretty efficient to me compared to launching GT6 on PS4 with an install base of zero to start with.

 

[Feldynn]

Sure, I'm happy it's coming out on the PS3. Mostly because right now I'm not anticipating getting a PS4 at launch, so if GT6 were a launch title I'd be still be playing GT5 or will have moved on to something else come the new year.

So far I've not been disappointed with what I've seen especially considering "a PS3 game" too, mind you I was expecting a lot less than we've already seen so I guess when you aim that low it's hard to be disappointed .

 

[Dean]

Exactly this 👍.

 

[NCRthree]

Very happy. I'm cheap and there's a lot of other more pressing expenses in my life right now. Doubt I would fork over for a new console anytime soon.

 

[FiftyBelowZero]

I'm not happy, but the GT6 trailer looked so much more beautiful compared to the FM5 trailer. It shows how much potential GT has; a previous-gen console game looking better than a next-gen console game.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

No idea what that even is but multi platform games are designed much differently than PS3 games.

Well I did not work on it so I can only guess but having developed software myself for many years using Microsoft tools for Microsoft Operating systems I can tell you that it is usually not a big deal to modify for the next OS and in many cases requires no changes at all in the source code.

I know that I can write a game for the PC using MS tools and make that same game work of the 360 without much trouble

 

[Tenacious D]

that sounds pretty efficient to me compared to launching GT6 on PS4 with an install base of zero to start with.

I really don't think the "0 install base" factor is THE issue. Every other developer making PS4 games are making them for a 0 install base. And darn few games have the market draw of Gran Turismo, and believe me, GT6 on PS4 has the potential to double PS4 sales, or more. Rather, I do think it's part of the decision. First, to provide a large infusion of instant cash for SONY, who likely need it after funding the production of the new system. Plus, it does give breathing room to racers like Drive Club and Project CARS, as well as whatever is looming for PS4 next year. But at the same time, don't tell me they aren't dreading GT6 releasing this year, even on PS3.

Anyway, to the topic. I'm happy now.

At first, I was disappointed. Earth, me, and a number of others have waxed endlessly here on how much better a GT6 on PS4 would have been. And still would be. All that power available to Kaz and the team makes my head swim from the potential.

But all it took was the Silverstone event to make me drop all my misgivings. When you have seasoned racing journalists remarking on how the feel and handling of the cars is up there with the best PC sims like GTR 2, I could hardly contain my excitement. When I saw the Bilstein Audi R8 video, it made me giddy. It almost makes my Nordshleife replays look boring. We just getting juicy tidbits from off the cream, and every new tidbit is like I'm dreaming of the ideal Gran Turismo - on PS3, yes, but come on! Saidur Ali posted a link to this article:

The car was rigged so that performance data could be captured during the race and tested on Gran Turismo 6's engine in real-time, letting developers fine-tune the handling and performance of the car to get it as realistic as possible. They could also do things the other way around, simulating "changes in vehicle dynamics due to suspension and aerodynamics" in the game, then if they worked, making the same changes to the actual car.

This is ridiculous! Polyphony Digital really are the gaming wizards of our age.

I keep reminding myself that we still know very little about GT6! Oh my gosh, the wait, the wait... but it's going to be more than worth it.

the GT6 trailer looked so much more beautiful compared to the FM5 trailer. It shows how much potential GT has; a previous-gen console game looking better than a next-gen console game.

Surprisingly, I agree with you. I still can't get over that Bilstein video. Christmas is going to take a small eternity to get here... heck, so will July! I can hardly wait for that demo! Gotta go race my vacuum cleaners!

 

[occasionalracer]

A little bit of 'You bet!' and a sprinkle of 'Of course not!' has has resulted in me choosing 'Meh, don't really care as along as its good'... I think I'm happy with my voting contribution... it WILL be good!


.. I hope

Why did Polyphony Digital mention the GT6 engine is now "flexible"? Im quite sure that means they can port all their work to PS4 much easier now.

I'm not happy, but the GT6 trailer looked so much more beautiful compared to the FM5 trailer. It shows how much potential GT has; a previous-gen console game looking better than a next-gen console game.

Really? Because after viewing the extended GT6 trailer I thought it looked underwhelming, complete with oversaturated artificial lighting, all the while looking decidedly last gen

This gen and last gen will be like DVD quality vs bluray. At first, the difference may not be outstanding. But after viewing and gettiing used to bluray (next gen) for some time and then returning to DVD (last gen) you'll be shocked by the difference.

 

[tillbot8]

Of course not sounds a bit aggressive! But I do wish we could see what PD can do with next-gen tech:idea:
