EDIT: Dmarc_Atl may be right, sorry about that
Related: As soon as I saw GM Design was announced to collaborate, I immediately thought of the car design feature on Test Track at Epcot. hmmmm

Not the greatest financial decision and would be wasting several years of ps3 developing time, losing money in all regards. It has been discussed thoroughly on this site so I assumed the discussion/complaint wasn't going that way yet again.
No chance.
And as I said the PS4 doesn't matter to us, at least until there's a racing game/sim that appeals to the gt6 fans.

To me, it sounds like they didn't get the memo that the cars with the "tribal tatto stripe" are special pre-order cars.
EDIT: Never mind. Massively tree'd.

Maybe in 2015, but having those thoughts is like saying that we should not buy gt6 and instead wait 8 years for GT8 on the PS5, or not buy a car now since they will get better in the future.

Some people are STILL whining that GT6 is not on the PS4? 
Even if it was you'll probably still whine anyway. So seriously, GET over yourself and DEAL WITH IT. Nuff said.

True 👍, All of this winging and whining has got to stop. I mean, people were b:censored:ing about GT6 not a day after it was first announced. Honestly, it feels like no-one understands patience these days...
Some people were even b:censored:ing about the Gamescom trailer in this thread (not naming names)

Several years, yes, which could've been put into making a mind blowing PS4 title within a year or two from the launch of the console. No, instead they're releasing GT5.5 on the current gen console AFTER the next gen console is released.
I honestly don't see the logic, and I probably never will, unless GT7 is released in 2016 or sooner.

It's just those who say GT6 should have been on PS4. Like I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but both PD and Sony said GT6 is going on PS3, meaning it's too late for a GT6 PS4. It's incredibly annoying now...

The research for ps3 performance was already done for GT5, further improved when making patches. It's best to take advantage of that knowledge by releasing another game on the same console, instead of throwing that work away starting over again in a new console, with the massive delays, money and time wasted and whatnot.
edit: and if you want absolute quality then it requires experience with the console itself, of PD and of other developers. That is the reason why the first games of a new console never show its full capabilities, which is only reached with its last games. Quality wise GT7 on the PS4 in 2015 would certainly look and overall be game a better game than GT6 on the PS4 in 2013, both with the exact same content, because in 2015 PD will have more info from Sony and from others' experience in how to develop for the PS4.

Agreed, the PS3 was the right decision. Look at it this way:
Either release on PS3, which both Sony and many of its consumers (over 70-75 million) will continue to use and support until PS4 becomes more affordable over time OR take the gamble of releasing it on the new console which only a couple of million people are using upon launch and has not received a thorough breakdown (until we get the console).
GT6 on PS3 was the safer bet. Forza on the other hand took the gamble of using the Xbox One and-based on people's criticism of the console-may have an effect on its sales.

Not quite though, is it? GT4 had like twice as many cars and tracks as GT3 and it was released a good while before the launch of the PS3, yet GT5 was released over 4 years into the PS3's life.
Looks like we won't see a GT title on the PS4 until 2018 then, but I guess you'll still enjoy GT6 on your PS3's by then, yeah? 👍

Any interviews or additional info coming up soon, as in today or tomorrow?
Meanwhile, here is yesterday's video of GT:A 2013 looked from the inside, of a site that will cover GT6 in particular and other racing games at gamescom. They will probably be next week but no sooner.

You mean like GT4, the very example he named? And I like how the years increase in each new post.

This is a flawed argument since it doesn't take into account how much a early GT6 on PS4 would drive console sales. And while Sony might not make much per console sold, the attachment rate of games (usually something like 6-12 games per console) DOES make them alot of money.
Add to that non-monetary value things like increased console market shares, it makes for a very good business perspective why GT6 should have in fact been release on PS4 and not PS3.

Sorry, what?
Earlier I said I would understand their strategy if they released GT7 in 2016 or sooner, and if they hadn't spent time on another PS3 title, they could've perhaps released GT6 on the PS4 within a couple of years.
All I'm saying is that I for one likes to stay updated in terms of gaming consoles, and one of the games I like happen to be Gran Turismo. Especially now, considering the PS4 will be the cheapest console... ever?
Sure, the PS3 is ok I guess and some amazing games are being released for it still (The Last of Us was probably the best game I've ever played and GTAV is gonna be tons of fun) but I (and quite a few with me) didn't expect such a big PlayStation exclusive franchise to be released at the very end of the PS3's lifespan.
I'd be fine if I'd seen some major improvements and new features, but so far I haven't, so I guess I'll miss out on this one.
