This means that, anytime soon, we will have a playable Dust 2 mod in Gran Turismo.

It's probably wishful thinking but maybe the game on PC would be a remaster of a classic GT (I would guess 4) and it wouldn't matter if people hack or mod it. Then the revenue from that could be used to make as good of an anti cheat system as possible for the first release of a new game on PC.

If they release a PC versión without fixing it and delivering a proper one player campaign, I'm done with Gran Turismo...This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
Polyphony Digital is “Considering” Releasing Gran Turismo on PC
GTPlanet is here in Monaco for the Gran Turismo World Finals and Gran Turismo’s 25th Anniversary event, and we had the chance to sit down with GT series creator Kazunori Yamauchi...

Okay.
It doesn't really matter what Kaz thinks on the matter if Sony goes through with putting it on PC; especially if PD are still operating like they were in the past where they only have one security layer to their content and the rest of the game is open range once you get past that. This is especially true if people are willing to forgo online play in the process of modding the game.

“Gran Turismo is a very finely tuned title,” Yamauchi-san explained. “There are not many platforms which could run the game in 4K/60p natively, so one way we make that possible is to narrow down the platform. It’s not a very easy subject, but of course, we are looking into it and considering it.”
I nearly spit out a full mouth of Cola reading that. LOL
RightJust running ACC, rF2, AMS2 at 120hz at 4k but sure, whatever. And that's without track and car LODs popping out right in front of your face like in GT7. Give me a break.
Yeah but those games don't look NOWHERE NEAR as good as gt7.....BIG difference......

Interesting bit of news. I would like to see a possible GT PC title support VR on that platform.

I think maintaining any semblance of fair play would be out of the window, as mentioned earlier you would have scripts boosting performance and handling available in days of release, interestingly would possibly bring cheating back to the PS platforms, there are scripts for the Cronus zen for a number of PC racers - they would potentially all work on the PLayStation - now PD don’t care as we know about having a fair racing environment but I think which platform would lead development of the overall game - I suspect it would become very much a PC developed game with ports to PlayStation… until it happens we won’t know.
the one thing Polyphony would have to do is engage with their PC players else I suspect the abuse they suffered from PS lobbies will multiply 1 billion percent - so I hope they get a community team in and start to engage with their players as they do a pathetic job with their PS players

If I'm racing on pc I'm not playing Gran Turismo. It's too limited.

The upside being that if it's on PC and it's really as open to modding/cheats/whatever as everyone fears, then the community will probably just fix the problems.
You can play on PC with a controller. Every game I played on PC this weekend, I played with a controller.
Lol, what risk? Free money is free money. "$300 million isn't impressive"? Rofl all the way to the bank.
The idea that it'd be objectively better for everyone if games were on only one platform is ridiculous. You're just fine with it because your platform of choice is PS5 and you don't care if other people can't play.
Not as good (mostly), but on a decent PC the disparity is far less than you'd think. It's not like they're unpleasant to look at (rF2 excepted, because it really is pretty awful). And on PC there's always the option of going 4k/120+fps/Ultra if you have more money than sense, and most sims look amazing then. You can watch Youtube videos of ACC on a 3090ti and it looks amazing even through the compression, I can only imagine what it looks like in person.
Once upon a time GT was head and shoulders above any PC sim graphically. That's not the case now.

GT7 is the best looking racing game out there on a PS5 ACC doesn't perform very well on my 4090 so I am giving you a break“Gran Turismo is a very finely tuned title,” Yamauchi-san explained. “There are not many platforms which could run the game in 4K/60p natively, so one way we make that possible is to narrow down the platform.

They'll be up against Forza and other games on PC, jumping into the shark tank so to speak, good luck with that.
The only good thing for me personally could be having more graphic options: I'd gladly swap native 4k rendering for any kind of shadow/object LoD adjustments, my eyes are bleeding from the permanent shadow/object pop-in/out and stuttering flood lights on Spa at nights. GT7 looks very nice overall, but worse than 10 year old racing games on PC in some regards.
I don't really play online, but the challenges they'll face in getting it to work at all (let alone cross platform) and races being fair are not to be underestimated.

GT7 already beats out the competition by having drop-in online lobbies, something that's only available in iRacing and I believe ACC (haven't played either) on PC at the moment. Everything else you need to join a simracing league. Forza is great for casual gamers but really it's just a car gacha and not a real racing game.

I dont think it's a good idea if they want to sell PS5... However, doing a PC version in theory would be easy for them if PC have the same architecture as PS5. And it would mean a hell of a lot more sales, that's for sure.

It's astounding that someone can say something like this without the level of irony melting them as of they were in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Complete this one first. Release a GOTY'ish PC version. And for the last &%$# time, give us the original tracks.

Sure if you got enough money PC building right now is very expensive and good luck finding parts too , so consoles will be always a cheaper option for most people

Next you'll try and tell me that GT7 is a "real driving simulator"?
It's my understanding that Turn10 sees the next Forza as a reboot of the franchise (hence "Forza Motorsport" and not "Forza 8"), and I'm sure they'll use that "blank slate" and take clues from GT7 regarding online lobby ratings/pairings (they'd be stupid not to).
I don't really care about online playing, so if Forza delivers a better, more polished single player experience than GT7 in the long run, I'm a happy camper.

ACC on PC or the first Assetto with graphics mods can perfectly compete with GT7 in graphics.

Lol, currently it is more easier to build a decent PC to play any game than to find a PS5 (which is only sold in packs of several games and with 2 controllers that is quite expensive like that PC)

Apart from, I believe, Tomb Raider Anniversary, the GeForce NOW leak has yet to be wrong.
Even if it's wrong about this and a few others, the moment this releases on PC is the same moment every economy-based complaint goes up in the wind. Please release it on PC.

Some thoughts.
GT sells a lot of Playstations. I only have a PS4 and PS5 because of GT games. If there is not going to be a PS6, then makes sense, otherwise potentially not selling as many new consoles in the future. The money may still be there from PC sales, but could see a reduction in new console sales. How significant that could be, only Sony know. I would at least probably not need to get a PS6, when an upgrade to my PC could make make the game accessible, and would benefit the other things I use my PC for.
They can barely get an update out every month without creating bugs on a system with three machines to cater for, PS4, PS4 Pro and PS5, add in the multitude of potential PC configurations, and I don't think they are up to it.
As some have mentioned, having a PC game potentially opens up the game to hackers and cheaters. Can't say it bothers me, but PD seemingly takes measures to stop cheating, and that could be much harder on PC.
They would be opening themselves up to whole new level and number of potential criticisers in PC cameras. 😲 Would many PC gamers quietly go along with the way PD supports and updates their game? PC gamers would at least be used to having a game released that was seemingly unfinished, and with promised features missing.

The risk of diminishing game quality? We already see it happening. PS definitely isn't my main platform, but you're right, I don't care about more people getting to play if it means we all get a worse experience in the end. Sometimes less is more and that definitely applies to game development.
