Will GT7 be the last game?

KAz will soon end like Kojima has ended in Konami if the sales will be low.

Not really. Kojima was got booted because of Konami's stupid thoughts that Mobile Games and Pachnikos are the future.

I dont believe Sony is that desperate.

 

[karelpipa]

you are right. I forgot that konami got crazy

GT6 sold well in general racing game terms, must have made good money as well. It would be incredibly stupid to stop at gt7, even if it makes a loss.

Mobile gaming industry is exploding but so is the audience. The core console gaming audience is not growing as quickly but it certainly is'nt shrinking.

Will GT7 be the last game?

It should be, but probably won't be. I reckon we'll see GT7 hit shelves in late 2018 with lackluster reception, mainly because of all the PS2 car models and lagging behind FM7 (2017) in terms of features. After that GT8 will hit PS5 in about 2022 and still disappoint.

If they can't dramatically overhaul the games, they might as well take the franchise out back and shoot it instead of letting it limp along blind, deaf, with cancer over 70% of its body, and massive organ failure. There should be a proper livery editor with no paint chips, no cars should be copy-pasted from older systems, no tracks should be copy-pasted from previous consoles, and races should never, ever be rolling starts with a long parade of cars strung out half a mile ahead of you. I don't know if GT6 ever implemented mechanical damage in career (last played GT5) but it better be there in future games, on all cars, and every car should have a fully-rendered cockpit. If GT7 doesn't address these, they need to stop making Gran Turismo.

^With that logic Toyota should stop making the Corolla. PD is a business, not a charity, as long as it gives more return than the cost of capital it makes financial sense for Sony to keep it alive.

So basically, they need to stop making Gran Turismo because you don't like it.

What's wrong with simply not buying it if you don't like it?

How do you know?

 

[Imari]

IIRC, there is a livery editor being added to GT SPORT.

They haven't said.

 

[Turnaround]

I think it's more a matter of should GT7 be the last one.

Considering Polyphony's five year streak of constant missteps and trouble, which seems to be getting worse, it would probably be best if they made GT7 the last one. Or at least the last one they themselves develop before handing off to someone else. And considering that we now have Driveclub, Project CARS, and soon Assetto Corsa (all of which will only get better) it's not like GT is really needed anymore.

Somewhat related, did anyone else know that Polyphony made Omega Boost? I think it would be interesting to see them try something new rather than continue with something they aren't really good at anymore (especially considering what the competition are doing).

We know nothing about GTS and you are assuming things about GT7 already GT5 had day/night 6yrs ago. Ironically it is something Forza is yet to implement. GTS will be the base for GT7 and build on that. They will not be using GT5 and GT6 as the base. That's how games are made 💡

Ironically Forza also has much more consistent graphic quality as well.

If Corollas didn't have key features, like a/c and cupholders, and a trunk, and Toyota kept making them that way until slowly the entire customer base left, it would be comparable.
But Corollas do everything they should in their respective market. Corollas are solid and don't need cupholders, they have had them for years.

So basically, they need to stop making Gran Turismo because you don't like it.

He doesn't want to watch the former best racing game continue to dissolve in the most embarrasing fashion imaginable.
Kind of like watching Jordan come back to the NBA and be average.

How do you know?

Return question, how do you know? (livery editor)

His timeline is clearly his prediction and not fact.

Ah, I was supposed to edit my post; my bad.

I was going to say that the GT Facebook page stated that they were planning to bring a livery editor to GTS, but then I remembered TGS 2006 and that a livery editor was promised waaaaay back then.

I'm not confident we'll be seeing it soon.

Easy fix: don't watch it.

Ah, yes, pretend it isn't happening. Oh wait, that's a shroud of ignorance covering the truth, which is that you don't want to hear what someone else has to say.
Well you're in luck, I have an easy fix:
Don't read it.

 

[TVR27]

I think it was a big mistake to put GT6 on the PS3 it should of been released on PS4 and the GT5 servers should if been kept online until enough people got on GT6 (I know it would cost a lot of money but its a good idea). If GTS gets lots of bad reviews and bad sails GT7 will fail but it will not go bankrupt maybe if they mess up GT8 it will fail.

You're wrong, I don't mind you having an opinion. I simply don't agree with it. See the difference?

You got lost, I didn't make the post, I explained it.
Also, you drew the card, I just used it against you. You don't like the card, don't put it in play.

But you seem to mind @IceMan PJN having an opinion don't you? The old, "if you don't like it don't watch [buy,support etc.] it" schtick is just another way of saying, "stop saying bad things about the game that I love because I don't want to listen to your opinion". Newsflash!! Someone can both be unhappy with the state of affairs in a game, post negative things about the game, still buy the game, and still be optimistic about the game...all at the same time!!

If someone is a real GT fan, as many of you seem to think you are, stop putting yourself and the game up on a pedestal. Passion for a game or a franchise is expressed in many ways. For some it's blind faith and overlooking all the flaws of a game just because you love it. For others it's seeing all the flaws and the entire game as it is, warts and all, and lamenting what their once great and glorious franchise has become. Others are in between. Here's the kicker though.

WE ARE ALL FANS OF THE GAME. WE ARE ALL FANS OF THE GRAN TURISMO FRANCHISE.

(sorry I don't usually shout but thought it was appropo)

I'd even go so far as to say that those that keep an open mind, that can see the flaws and imperfections but continue to support the game, are the exact kind of fans this and any other franchise needs. Arguing over specifics is welcome and healthy in my opinion. Physics, graphics, gameplay etc are all fair game and fans of any franchise will discuss them endlessly. Telling another fan of Gran Turismo to not buy the game or not pay attention to the forum or to infer they should stop posting is the opposite of what we should be doing, especially with sharp decline in sales of GT6.

I think Polyphony should have put Gran Turismo 6 on the PS4 and the PS3. I am not sure how complicated it would have been to do that. Gran Turismo 6 was basically Gran Turismo 5 1/2. I have no idea when Gran Turismo 7 will be released, but I suspect it may be on the 20th anniversary of Gran Turismo?

I don't think it would've been that hard seeing how R* ported GTA V from PS3/XBox 360 and made it available for PS4/XONE, and in my opinion it is a much larger and detailed game.

 

[Froudeybrand]

So, I still think it will be lacking, don't get me wrong I'll buy it but I think GT7 will depend heavily on Sport if they fail with that game people will not get GT7, with games like Asetto Corsa coming out within the next 12 months and a possible Project Cars 2 (PC1 was less then amazing)

It depends on Sport.

 

[HuskyGT]

I feel GT Sport will probably be the last Gran Turismo if they don't step up their game. And I'm talking about a major overhaul on their priorities and their "vision" of the "perfect" diving/racing game. Their competition is way ahead, and at the pace that PD works, by the time they release something substantial (definitely not GTS), the rest will have already done it.

I think it was a big mistake to put GT6 on the PS3 it should of been released on PS4 and the GT5 servers should if been kept online until enough people got on GT6 (I know it would cost a lot of money but its a good idea).

Agree. After being a "GT6 on PS3" guy myself, I do agree that it was a bad idea. GT6 should've been in PS4. However, I don't think that would've made any difference. PD works way too slow and I doubt the game would've been expanded with quality content by now. And I bet there would still be a lack of livery editor, Porsche (license should not be an excuse anymore. T10 got it again), better customization, good sounds and almost certainly there would still be Standard and Premium BS.

 

[CSLACR]

If a game similar to GT6 was the first thing we saw on PS4, it might have killed the series.
And it would have had to come FAST. Only releasing one full game on a 9 year console span? So it probably would be the same game it is, with better graphics. And that would have been baaad.

 

[Rustyhole]

IMO, the ps4.5 k-neo whatever is proof that 'if" there's a ps5, that'll be the last for traditional consoles. playstation is in the process of switching from being device based (console) to streaming service based like netflix, vod etc.
hell, with streaming and ps-now, you don't even need a playstation or even a "Sony". just a controller and a compatible device (bluray/tv). ps-now is primarily ps3 games but that'll change as it becomes more accepted. then you'll just have to upgrade your device & controller every few years. i'm doubtful there'll be a ps5, but i'm positive there'll be a ds5.... 6... 7...
after all, gamers gotta game!

 

[Samus]

That ain't happening as long as a large portion of the world still have low speed or metered internet connections, or both, and that will be the case for an other decade at least.

 

[Rustyhole]

that will be the case for an other decade at least.

sounds about right, the ps4/4k has another 3-4 +/- years then ps5 for another 10.
they will slowly wean the consumer of it's reliance on discs as more people accept downloading and become aware of using playstation thru non-traditional devices potentially lowering buy-in costs
also, i was speaking of developed nations with good internet. not concerned with the rest

It'll also never happen for games that are highly affected by latency. Fighting games are number one, they'll always have to be run locally. Racing games are probably right behind that. Latency in the position of other cars is bad enough, if you've got that and input delay as well a racing game probably becomes quite unpleasant to play.
