*Rumor* Gran Turismo 7 Prologue headed to PS4?

[Zuku]

The only funny thing about Skyline jokes is how wrong those estimates are.

Even though it might be an exaggeration. Still doesn't add up to the fact that when I boot up GT6 and see 1200 cars when most are only distributed across like maybe 5 companies at best that leaves a lot to be desired.

Like Nissan having like 10 pages, but Cadillac only having 1 car C'MON MAN! that's something that HAS! to be fixed in GT7.

I'm not just limiting that to American companies either there are others like Aston Martin, and Pagani comes to mind.

The thing is, though, if they model 1 R34, they really modeled 7, and just need to redo a couple bumpers and maybe some stitching in the seats.

But they wont, because they model each car individually. Some kind of old Japanese art or whatever.

Pcars is the real wild card here but they are following a PC model so they are dealing in lower numbers from the get go, that "3rd" is huge to them. If they do in fact get it to console, it could be the best kick in the ass to other racing developers... And awesome for us gamers. But Pcars has major licensing issues they need to get sorted to stand up next to MS and PD... It's not good enough to release with all fake companies and track names on console... On PC the modding comunity fixes this, not so much on mainstream platforms.

I don't think having a track misnamed due to licensing issues is really a buy/don't buy type of deal breaker. Nobody cares that Monaco is called Cote D'Azur do they? I think what most people care about is a bug free experience, lots of variety in cars and tracks, attention to detail, good physics of course etc. They seem to have all that in spades on PC, whether it transfers well to console is another issue of course.

Same here. The visuals, gameplay, sounds, proper racing simulation and better developer-community relationship are the factors that will count the most when you compare it to a GT wathever-number, which will insist in wonky damage model, standards, silly fantasy tracks, no flags, no qualifying, no racing rules, etc, etc, etc...

Bought my PS4 recently and I'm very excited to PCars.

There is actually 2 Cadillacs, not one . I do agree with what you're saying though, how there's 50-100 cars for some car companies but only 1-5 for others. I think PD should try to add more cars to the companies that have small numbers but also add to the companies with larger car numbers still so that both are getting new cars added to the game.

Firstly, I apologize for this not necessarily being placed in the correct (or most correct) sub-forum. I couldn't find the right match, and if the mods would like to relocate it, that's fine.

Before I start, most of you will know a well known, reliable source has leaked an upcoming GT7 prologue in early 2015: http://www.geek.com/games/leak-sugg...harted-4-gt7-prologue-heading-to-ps4-1585155/

I seriously hope this comes true. About 6-7 months ago, just after the PS4's unveiling I was under pressure from my GF to sell my PS3 (she wanted some stupid crap). I thought I'd be clever and sell it then, because in the run to the PS4 it would drastically lose its value. Just a month before the PS4's release, I saw GT6 adverts on the T.V. I was so excited, this was gonna force me to buy a PS4 on release day. I hopped on the PC to examine the new Gran Turismo... and what do I find? Its only on PS3... I was so gutted. I cant afford to buy back my PS3 just for one game

I really think for all those valuable fans of the GT series, Polophony should, as soon as possible, release some form of Gran Turismo on PS4. I'm looking forward to GT7 Prologue, but honestly I wish they'd just grab GT6, increase the resolution and frame rate, rebadge it to 'GT6: Definitive' version and slap it on the PS4. If they didn't do this, and the next GT game on the PS4 was GT7 prolgue there'd be a number of issues with. For starters, Polophony, as they should, take a long time to make there games. PS4 would be without a GT game for years, and more importantly, without a single sim based racing game, whilst Xbox have Forza. Also, because of the above issue, Polophony would be under immense pressure from Sony to rush GT7, and the quality may suffer as a result.

Anyone else in my position? And does anyone know how hard it is, or how quickly a company could increase the resolution/frame rate and port a game over to next gen hardware? I would have thought it'd be really easy and wouldn't take long. There's no reason for Polophony/Sony not to do this, they add to the PS4's library, GT6 on PS4 would look AMAZING, they'd get more sales, AND most importantly they wouldn't be in a rush for GT7 prologue and could take their time to make an amazing product.

Let me know what you think.

Sony should realy start making consoles retrocompatible..

Yeah... that'd solve my issue.

I'm really devastated though. Owned every GT game since GT2. I'm a Gran Turismo freak, its my favourite game yet I cant play the newest, and best, one. Just stuck watching Youtube videos

To be fair to Sony, I heard somewhere it'd add around £110 to the overall price of a console and they couldn't afford to risk that against Microsoft and Xbox. They both should have got together, and agreed to both add backwards compatibility and raise the price of both consoles equally by £110.

 

[Chrunch Houston]

I will buy a PS4 and GT7p when they shut down the GT6 servers.

Hopefully the GT6 servers will stay up until GT7 comes out.

 

[ULTRAVIOLENZZ]

Why they didn't just release it for both PS3 and PS4 in the first place? So they wouldn't be pressured to make GT7 for PS4 just to satisfy the fans. And they will not rush and have a lot of time to develop GT7.

Merged with existing thread on GT7 Prologue rumours/discussion. 👍

There wasn't/isn't much point releasing on PS4 until the user base has grown. Even now, in many regions there is still a shortage of PS4 consoles.

Yeah and a shortage of PS4 users too.. especially in view of no games being available for it and the price being sky high.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Yes, Sony and Microsoft should form a price-fixing cartel. Maybe not

A quick search reveals

Xbone has 92 games available
PS4 has 125 games available

PS4 is cheaper than Xbone. PS4 launch console was a lot cheaper than PS3 launch

I'm not sure what your post is based off, are you comparing it to Nintendo?

Atari st actually! It's based off the way I feel about the situation.. Please list out of the 125 Top Driving games you would like to buy then for PS4?

I don't have a PS4. I'll certainly let you know if/when I do

exactly, me neither.

*Tisk tisk* I don't want to brag but I have PS4. Although it was a fustrating experience of getting the games to play...

 

[TheCaptain19]

They better fix GT6 before they even think of putting out a prologue on the PS4. They should be solely working on 6 to finish it. If they dont fix GT6 and continue to make more cars available, I will be done with the GT series. 6 was a incomplete game from the get go. The only difference from 5 is the physics and a few new cars. The car list needs a serious update. For it to be one of the best console racing games it needs to keep up with new cars. It doesn't even have Porsche yet. No McLaren P1, any of the Koenigsegg, Hennessey Venom GT, Ascari, Gumpert Apollo, Noble and the list goes on. I am from the U.S. but the UK is very unrepresented in this game as well as the U.S.(but it has gotten a little better for the U.S.) I dont need 2 dozen+ Honda s2000 or a damn skyline from EVERY year from 1996 to the present (or 2 or more from the same damn year because one has a special paint color). PD need to finish 6 before they do ANYTHING else. Looking forward to Project CARS.

Yeah... that'd solve my issue.

Your really not missing much. If you played 5 then you have already drove almost all the cars in 6. The ones that weren't "premium cars" in 5 are STILL the same in 6. I will say though, the physics are better but, thats really the only difference.

It's an Asian game that's huge in the Asian market... I know what you're saying but it is what it is. I'd like another 9,000 cars in there for starters.

GT6 isn't doing so bad according to these figures. Are there 3 Aus cars though?


Figures on the left include standards, figures on the right are premium-only, iirc.

 

[Magic Ayrton]

That's nice for you.. I just don't believe in wasting my money at the moment.

 

[pasigiri]

The only funny thing about Skyline jokes is how wrong those estimates are.

Didn't really mean 90 or the other numbers explicitly. Just making a point that PD should refine there line up. There is no need for THAT many of essentially the same car.

Case in point, GT6 has two Pagani Huayras. There are very little differences between them. I would have settled for the latest and modeled a Zonda F in place of the "early" model Huayra. Now there is a difference between a Corvette Z06 and ZR1 or VDub GTI and Golf R, but I hope my point comes across.

I hope to see this in GT7.

 

[TokoTurismo]

That's okay. Get it whenever you feel like it, especially when theres more games. 👍

 

[starknight97]

I'm not getting a ps4 anytime soon even if gt7 came out next week. If I wanted a good quality driving game with very good physics and high fps I'll upgrade my Q8200 to an I7, overclock my Amd Radeon 7870 and start Assetto Corsa. I may also get project cars for the PC when it is released in Q3 or Q4 this year; And because of the quality of gt6 and the fact that Kaz likes to lie about features being implemented into his games like the lack of a livery editor and a 'hardcore' difficulty mode I don't think it will be as a big leap in game quality as we may hope

This is what I was getting at earlier like where is the Zonda Cinque(believe that's what it's called) Featured in NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 last I recalled, but why not in GT6.

I agree though need to cut down on the duplicates cause they might as well be that, and focus on adding more to certain car companies catalogues like Pagani, Bentley, Cadillac, and the list goes on.

Rather than "Asian", I'd say "Japanese", and predictably the GT series is designed to present Japanese cars in a very good light. This is a nation in which businesses tend to support other Japanese businesses. It's a cultural thing.

There are very few non-Japanese Asian cars in GT6 but, yes, there are three Australian cars in GT6, two Holdens and a Ford. Buy them, because the way the Aussie auto industry is going, they will become collectors' items!

 

[jimipitbull]

One of those Australian cars (Holden Monaro) was rebadged and exported to the US as the Pontiac GTO

Related, but not in the game, the Commodore SS is rebadged and exported to the US as the Pontiac G8

Also Saturns and Pontaics are rebadged Opels, Vauxhalls, Holdens, etc. because they're all branches of GM.
