Sony Exec Comments on Polyphony Digital’s “Next Project”

In an interview with VG24/7, Shuhei Yoshida, President of SCE Worldwide Studios, made some interesting comments regarding the future of Gran Turismo 5 and Polyphony Digital’s next project:

VG247: There are a couple of significant holes in the software line-up you’ve been talking about this year. There’s been no mention of any more Gran Turismo and we’re still waiting on a date for The Last Guardian. Is Tokyo going to shed more light on this, or are we going to wait a little bit longer?

Yoshida: I’d say it could be a little bit longer. As far as the Gran Turismo team’s concerned, they are still working on updating the games, so they’re just shifting to the designing and concepting phase of the next project. It’s going to take a few years.

These carefully-chosen words, as usual, leave quite a bit open to speculation.

Assuming their next project is Gran Turismo 6, a release window of “a few years” obviously opens up possibilities of a launch on the PlayStation 4. Sony’s announcement of a price drop for the PlayStation 3 at Gamescom 2011 has fueled talk among analysts that the console is moving into its final stages of life, though SCE CEO Jim Ryan is understandably down-playing these rumors.

It’s worth noting that Kazunori Yamauchi has reiterated, on three separate occasions, that GT6 will not take as long to release as GT5. He even confirmed it was already in development as of September last year, though admitted he didn’t know if it would be released for the PS3 or PS4 at the time. Regardless – for better or worse – the PlayStation 4 will almost certainly influence the next iteration of the GT series and we’ll be keeping a close eye on it, accordingly.

Thanks to all of you who sent this in!

    GT5 should be good lesson for Sony.

    I respect Kazunori as a person and a driver, but as a game developer, he really needs to be taught some lessons.

  2. Murcie

    I highly doubt there’s a “next project” in the works. Doing something like that without expanding on your most ambitious and demanding project thus far in order to make sure it’s actually completed is just ludicrous, right?

    Oh wait, this is Polyphony Digital.

    I am sorry GT5 but I have fallen for another.

    <3 Forza 4.

  3. Cocomoto

    I want Tourist Trophy 2…

    I can’t believe this amazing game will not appear in the PS3.
    I already played MotoGP 10/11 but i always go back to the PS2 and play Tourist Trophy. Still have to try SBK but… TT rules the 2 wheels world !

  4. VictoReX11

    First, PD (Polyphony) we need to finish the game with updates, and then we’ll talk about Gran Turismo 6 and PS4

  5. Name(required)

    Hope you’re kidding me, GT5 ism’t even a complete game, it’s a half put together joke. 1000 cars should’nt have been put in the game, especially when over twenty are the same car(miatas). Leveling up system is rubbish and repetative. Please don’t give me that BS on how much they implemented new stuff like helmets and events..etc., because everyone knows this is an incompleted game.

  6. koldstrejke

    screw poly. gt5 has not delivered since release its not been up to th promises of poly.and this talk of gt6 would be very unwise for them. the only “ONLY” thing now that gt series has going for it now is car selection. i love gt, but the craftmanship is apualing.

    1. Magic Ayrton

      Exactly.. this is actually quite funny, because GT5 with its 5 wheel customisation is a joke and probably 50% of the fanbase will be playing something else by the time GT6 is launched.

  7. Fureddo

    Sony was supposed to hit big with its “next gen'” system, the PS3. It was supposed to be so much ahead of the 360. (let’s be honest, Nintendo’s Wii is out of the race).
    After all these years what do we have? Many games running at 720p and 30fps… As usual for Sony systems, PD is supposed to show up what the system can do at best…Ok with that for PSOne and 2…disagreed for PS3. Sure GT5 runs at 1080p and inrace 60fps, but replays fall at 30fps and there are too many graphics issues that sound outdated (pixelated shadows, wtf?!) to draw a positive conclusion on the game.
    Let’s face it; when we compare GT5 and Forza 4, PS3 feels so subpar. Aliasing, low res’ textures (wtf Autumn Ring!!!) and old gen’ 3D modelization (yes, standard cars are just a direct port from GT4!). I am no XBox hysterical fanboy. I’ve had all the GT games since PSOne and never owned a XBox.
    A few figures : 500,000 polygons per car in GT5, 5 years of development. ONE MILLION polygons for Forza 4, TWO years of development. Need I say more?
    If GT6 makes it to the PS4, we’ll have just like GT5 on PS3, an outdated game that was built and optimized for the previous gen’ system. For PD’s sake, it is of critical importance they put out their new game within 2 years. Which means a late 2012 release, one year prior the hypothetical yet very likely PS4 release, which gives them three years to develop a GT7 optimized for Sony’s new hardware. Missing next year’s launch for a new GT iteration will doom PD to lag behind hardware evolution.
    Many Japanese companies failed to adapt to the new ways of doing business (e.g.: Hitachi stopped producing tv’s…). Today, if you want to develop a game faster, either you hire more people, or you deal with other companies to help coping with cost consuming tasks (e.g.: modelizing “premium” level cars)… Just like they did for Forza 4 btw.
    The lack of gist in Sony’s rep interview is typical of the Japanese culture. No assertive statement, no firm due date established. Edo-jidai is over, time to wake up! Today gamers want firm schedule and concrete hints to bring water to their mill. Wanna keep it secret then keep quiet. Wanna bring some excitement, be more specific.
    Just my thought. I don’t like irrelevant bashing, this is just my humble reaction.

    1. Magic Ayrton

      You are so right my friend, It’s not bashing.. because we love the series so much we pretty much have a right to say what we think and feel.. I just wish everyone else would team together to save PD, Sony and ourselves.. they really need to do something.. having said that I still Play GT5, but will there really be a point to GT6 if the wool is pulled over our eyes again?? I say no.

  8. Andrew

    Go ahead make a ps4. Sops3 games will be cheap. Unless that is..they close all the online servers, forcing us all to buy ps4’s just to play our online games

  9. themartlab

    PD: don’t start a new project while there is one which is still incompleted. Finish a job before starting another one…

  10. Magic Ayrton

    Spend some money SONY!! it’s not like you don’t have any is it??? Expand PD personel.. make some decent tracks and hill climbs, make DLC (devote a department to it) make many more Premium cars (Like RUF (we were robbed) and yes with PROPER sound)finish the game when you say you will, communicate with your fanbase (the people that made you successful in the first place) and stop ***** us around!!

    1. funrun

      Lol… always the same complaints, PD has produced some of the finest detailed games and have strive for accuracy over quantity, now they can build on GT5 and make something spectacular. People like you should check into GTPlanet in a couple years time.
      Yes, criticism is needed, but PD has understood the top 10 most complained about things people want, and it doesn’t need to be repeated every time.

  11. Corey

    Sony really need to pick up their act and fix the hacked and still broken Playstation network before they go attempting to reinvent the wheel with yet another console. If they don’t fix the issues with the network soon I swear I’ll never buy another Sony game console again. It’s been a PR disaster since the day it was hacked.

    1. CorporateHammer

      Sorry, I don’t see how a hacked network is a bigger deal than the first 3 years of production having a self destruct. I swear I think that green swirl and x hypnotize.

  12. Aron

    So many complaints :( If you’re gonna go play Forza or Shift go do it, Kaz doesn’t sit on here and read through EVERY SINGLE COMMENT to make it right. A game will never fit your wants, have fun with what you have.

    1. Magic Ayrton

      Maybe he should.. it’s thanks to people like you that nothing ever gets done to GT5.. they should be devoting an entire team to DLC right now reading for shipping when the bugs are fixed (this month) Forza 4 is making real progress and if you want some real development to happen stop trolling other replies and make some valid arguments for yourself (honestly). People need to wake up.. Sony and pd have made millions and still we have virtually no progress..

  13. Deathsarthe

    PS3 sucked for like the first 3 or 4 years it was out. Next five years or so will be much more promising now that most people in this market are switching to services like Netflix which is easily accessed through PS3. Also Sony supports 3D technology and the PS3 is fully capable of that. The PS3’s versatility and ability to always offer the latest and greatest in its features is what seperates it from the Wii and X360.

    PS4 will be different because it could also ride this momentum the PS3 has been building up. I for one am definitely looking forwards to the PS4 and I’m looking foward to GT6.

  14. riph

    Instead they model 6 month per car, why dont they just buy the 3d model from 3d library sites e.g turbosquid.com ?
    that can be a quite handy for them.

    1. EliteDreamer

      They don’t look as detailed. Plus they have the same window shading thing going on like the standard cars.

    2. big ron

      @EliteDreamer
      That´s a lie. You even find more detailed cars on 3d-libraries. Most cars at higher prices are fully detailed with interior and engine.

  15. Tenacious D

    When you get away from picky boards like this one, it seems that everyone else is having a blast playing GT5. The only things that people seem to be grouching about are lack of servers and a livery editor, so you can create your own race cars. Here’s hoping that when GT6 pops up in a few years that the livery editor is in, so we can forget about certain competitors.

  16. jaycee

    It’s ok for me. Could be better? Of course, but it’s good enough and the little updates made the game (yes, remember: it’s a GAME) more interesting and still get me hooked.

  17. LR-MR-COLE

    TO BE HONEST WITH YOU I DONT WANT TO WAIT FOR GT6, WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR ALL THIS STUFF THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN GT5. ALL THE EXPECTATION FOR GT5 AND ALL WE GET IS 200 PREMIUMS AND 5 REAL WORLD TRACKS. IF THEY ADD ANYTHING TO GT5 ALL I WANT IT TO BE IS MORE PREMIUM CARS MADE OUT OF ALL CARS IN usd AND I MEAN ALL OF THEM OR IM GONNA BUY FORZA 4 CAUSE THATS WHERE ITS AT IF PD DONT GET THERE HEAD OUT OF THERER ASS. AND IM NOT GONNA WAIT ANOTHER YEAR FOR IT TO HAPPEN. ILL WAIT 6 MONTHS AT MOST.

    1. nedostalk

      You’ll just gonna loose 6 months really, you have 2 options: pc simulators or Forza 4, I’ll go for pc sims because of more realism, options, mods. But Forza 4 is not a bad idea, so it’s up to you. Don’t wait for PD, simply don’t, or you’re gonna wait for ever.

  18. Dj Lenny Dee

    I hope PD’s next project is better than GT5! Really hope it’s not a bike game as imo it would be too similar to GT5 which is very dated.

  19. 07_HSV_GTS

    At the moment I don’t care about GT6. Just keep improving GT5!!! Since they are working on GT6 already they better not be putting in 200 honda’s or nissan’s and only putting in 1 or 2 bentley’s, Australian Holdens/fords and Australians HSV’s/FPV’s. And how bout Bathurst.

  20. BobWho

    You guys complain the game lacks this and that.

    However there is atleast 50 of us that run league races together. We have a blast!!! Race at 3pm today and again tonight.

    You can whine but if you are a racer and love racing then this game works well. Truly it could be left alone.

    Would I like more tracks and cars Of course. Do I want little quirks fixed of course.

    Will I stop playing with out then of course not.

    1. 07_HSV_GTS

      I disagree about the racer part, I love racing but the lack of tracks is just boring, I would prefer acouple more tracks or just to be able to race the tracks reversed without the sign saying your going the wrong way, but to be able to try something new like that I would play it for another 3-4 months (more tracks, 4-6 months) but it looks like they’re too focused on GT6 to realize what people want now.

  21. potsworth

    you lot at “Polyphony” need to sort 2 main things out in GT6 thats all premium cars and all old tracks from every GT game put in the next . If not just put them in GT5 in one of the updates

  22. Klassykid9801

    One thing i wis it had is more interactivity. I wish you could actually open doors or even wash your cars yourself. And one thing i wanted the most was to have a real garage , not some list on a menu

  23. ripped

    I’ve said before you’re not gonna see much more content with gt 5 for the ps3 because a ps3 is very limited in its architecture. the ps3 is being dumped on the market because sony wants to get rid of them. Kaz even said that the ps3 is limited with what he wanted to do with gt5. ps4 and gt6 is taking priority.

    1. Big Ron

      Technics/ physics and content are two different thing ;)

      GT5 is limited in its physics and graphics, because the PS3 can´t handle much more. But you can add content like cars and tracks as much as you want.

  24. Big Ron

    Sony should kick PD and hire Turn 10. Then we do not have to always hear big words, where no action is following.

    1. infamousDee

      That last sentence sounds exactly like the reaction Turn 10 received after FM3 was released. Everyone should stop entertaining the notion that both GT5 and FM3 weren’t a disappointment. Turn 10 look like they’re clearing up after the farce that FM3 was, and I’d be very surprised if it wasn’t the same case with PD and GT6.

  25. Flagmo-T

    I’m actually so bored with GT5, that i haven’t played it for like 3-4 months now, I find much more Race blood & Fun in SHIFT2 and DIRT3 – But It wasn’t supposed to be that way!!! GT5 has keep’ed me/you in the Dark for so long time ( 5 years) that when it finally came out, my heartbeat dropped to a critical tempo – GT5 needs much more developing, as new features tracks/Cars and some upscaled quality here end there before you even Can Talk about GT6.. IT’S NOT even close to be FINISHED OK!!! :P

  26. GTi_16v

    screw the next project finish this one first!! and PD/Sony stop talking to us in riddles and messing with our minds how hard is it to give straigh answers??

  27. GTracerRens

    I hope they’ll upload some DLC to the PSstore before GT6 comes out. I don’t care if I have to pay for DLC of this game, I just want more. :)

  28. Chad

    All the executives of that company have been cut with the same scissors… They should be politicians, not company execs.

  29. lunch pope

    PD, here’s your checklist for your “next project”:

    1. Get your act together and put in the production versions of all the “concepts” you still have sitting in there, also put in obvious next-gen versions of cars you for some reason stopped updating a couple generations ago.

    2. Bring back the rally race events we grew so accustomed to, instead of the bizarre and highly restrictive “missions” you put in as a substitute in GT5, effectively making the many great rally cars in the game pointless.

    3. Rule of thumb – if you are going to hype up features like weather, damage, head tracking and 16 car grid MAKE THEM ACROSS-THE-BOARD IN ALL AREAS OF THE GAME because you outright LIED about how sparsely these were implemented in GT5. It was disgraceful.

    4. Set a target date for release and a strict schedule of labor to meet that date, and for crying out loud STICK TO IT, you can hire more people if you need to! GT will always sell like hotcakes!

    5. Don’t you think it’s time you acknowledged the existence of “a certain famous German sports car manufacturer” and at least scratched the surface of the magnificent motoring history that is PORSCHE. It’s getting downright weird that you can’t drive an actual Porsche in these games. It’s embarrassing, perhaps even more than all previous gripes combined.

    Thank you.

    1. CorporateHammer

      OK, you have the right to post opinions and everything but #5, I think you may need to do some research on that one. You might just realize all that blame resides with Porsche.

    1. mobiletone

      “It’s going to take a few years” That statement there just killed my hopes that we’d get a new Tourist Trophy this generation.

      But a ‘Bike Pack’ DLC would do i guess, just use upscaled TT bikes, add new rider models using GT5s Drivers and the jobs done.

  30. Chicano3000X

    GT6 could be beat Forza4 but it would probably give the feel that people got so tired of GT trying and failing that no one would care anymore how GT6 turns out.

    It’s like having a come back to a joke within a group when no one is in the mood anymore.

    1. mobiletone

      maybe if GT5 didn’t feel like such a rushed bodge job we wouldn’t complain.

      i am at 96% complete, level 37, 300 cars in garage.

    2. Bubblelly542

      Maybe it feels rushed because everyone here (including me, I must admit), complained so much that it kept getting delayed, so to give us what wwe wanted, they released it and are fixing it through updates.

  31. Ilonioum

    Forza 4 is on its way and will be here in 2 months… that game will have a much better fun factor that GT5 and more features.
    A couple of months ago i wouldn’t even dare to say something like that but after spending more than 2000 euros to buy a TV, a new PS3, built a cockpit (with G27 that isn’t even fully supported), ordered the signature edition and finally spent 5 years in waiting I’m truly disappointed. The worst part here is that neither Sony nor PD have any specific dates, everything has to be mystified as if they were building a fighter jet…
    Therefore I will buy an XBOX360 to have fun and have GT5 to have some driving experience on 100000000 cars with fairly the same characteristics, bad sound sound and blocky graphics….
    and sorry for such a long post, just had to say it…

    1. mobiletone

      i got SHiFT2 at the weekend, it just shows up the areas where GT5 is sadly lacking, a much more fun racing experience. better AI, sound, menu system, online interactivity, customisation, XP… need i go on?

    2. ripped

      Shift 2 is arcade and primarily for the controller crowd. The developers have acknowledged the fact that it was made not primarily for sim people. Watch the complete review at simracing.

    3. Brandon

      I bought SHiFT 2 becuase I finally found it for less then $30. I installed the game, drive into the first corner, laughed, turned it off. And havent touched it since. GT5 is a totally different beast. Just my preference of course, but a much much better driving game.

    4. CorporateHammer

      @ Brandon

      Spot on. I will admit I stuck with Shift 2 a while longer than the first corner ( LOL ) and if it wasn’t for the horrible delay in controls using a wheel I think I could have had some fun with it.

  32. Normalaatsra

    PS3 is Sony’s potential until 2016. PD gets 5 years to get things going for GT5 to be 100% complete plus DLC’s or new unheard content. I think at the end of PS3, that’s when PD starts their work on their next project.

  33. CorporateHammer

    Wow, I’m starting to think everyone carry’s their own jump to conclusions mat in their back pocket and pull it out after reading a few key words in a paragraph. My favorite has to be the PS4 conclusions the mat has provided here. I also like how it’s PD fault when the conclusions turn out to be untrue.

  34. Zuel

    To read over the comments from the interview is somewhat not surprising. I believe the update at the end of this month will be the final update concerning any additions to Gran Turismo 5.

  35. Bubblelly542

    Just curious, but how long before the PS3 was launched was it officially announced, and same with PS2 and PS1 even. Also, what are the intervals between console announce/release from PS1 to PS2 to PS3?

    1. Russianmule

      I have a launch day 60 gig ps3, and there’s a picture of granturismo 5 on the box. It took 2 plus years after that for the game to launch.

  36. Catastrophz

    For the sakes of realism.. or really, my interests. NO more cars that maxes out at 30+/- mph!! Or, multiple versions of the same car/model (i.e. 1yr difference. stupid!). GT just want to claim the “Most cars” title and forget about the rest of the “better” gameplay features.

    I would love to see the “garage” to look like a “garage” (just like the demo/preview at main menu), and not as a “list of cars”.

    DYNO features for “Tuning” or vehicle testings, etc.. The car is placed on a lift in garage and/or tuning modes.

    ..and much more..

  37. Primus Ortus

    There’s a reason why the PS2 is still on shelves – it still sells. Moreover, the newer versions of the PS3 do not have backward compatibility for this very reason. Likewise, it is unlikely that the PS3 will be liquidated merely because of the advent of PS4. Nevertheless, I’m still having fun playing GT5 (the once a week I get to do it…), and am hoping they continue to provide updates. :)

  38. MoLieG

    Same crap as always… I just hope PD’s next project is actually GT6… because they did not commit to GT5 immeadiately after GT4… that’s why the game is unfinished and unpolished…

    1. N99GT

      and i hope their gonna bring it on the PS3….i really CBA to buy another SONY product…..ive got a PS3, a £2000 3D Bravia Tv, 3 cybershot cameras and a brand new Vaio, Blu-player and a pair of walkman headphones!….Sony is not going to be getting extra pocket money from me anytime soon!

      Sorry……….NOT! (in a Borat voice)

    2. geoff allan

      Very poor argument N99GT. Maybe if Sony gear never worked i would think twice about buying anymore, but you’re reasons for not buying anymore Sony are null and void. Besides, if you can splash out 2k on a TV you’re obviously just boasting or did you pick it up recently in London?

  39. recca

    damn it, his response is pretty much the same as no response..doesn’t tell us anything…yea anyone of us could’ve figured they’d be in the conceptional phases of the next project by now ba-hum-bug

  40. Zac

    If its true that gt6 is going to drop with the ps4 then its likely pd will release some track dlc in the meantime for gt5 as there’s not even any real talk of when a ps4 system is going to drop. Out of everything, the track selection was the only disappointment for me in gt5. Counting the reverse lap of a track as another track is a scummy thing to do.
    Yet, with a ps4 release we have a lot of exciting possibilities to consider.
    Here for one will only be premium level cars. Probably. And instead of using shininess as a metaphor for new, cars will actually look new (or old. I’ve always wanted my dirt and dust to build up on my rally scoobs in the garage). We might have random weather changes or every track had 24hrs of light variations. Or the graphics may only slightly improve but we start racing with 32 cars on track, or the AI may become a little less (zzzzz) predictable.
    I think they waited too long to release gt5 on purpose and used it as an engine beta for gt6. Ps3 was the first of the next-gen consoles, any wise developer would know that what comes after the next gen is what they’d really need a head start for.

  41. blackjack

    I don’t know if I want to even start thinking about this. I can still see the scars from the great Gt5 delay experience :-(

    If he’s mentioning something lacking from their software lineup then it’s got to be an installment of Tourist Trophy on the PS3 platform surely?

  42. funrun

    They NEED to get on the PS4, the last thing Sony needs is another new Xbox release and then lose out on initial console release.

    What better way to sell the new console with the next Gran Turismo, hopefully running smooth as butter with fresh processing power and memory.

    PD, work hard now and you will achieve an amazing amout of console sales!

    1. FlareKR

      When 360 released in ’05, it had huge amount of problems. Micro$oft rushed it ’cause they saw they’re chance to get an early lead on the PS3 and take away from the PS2. The only thing that happened were angry 360 players and more PS2 sales.

  43. BlackIce

    PS3 when is released was around $800 (tax and all). Im going to predict that PS4 will most likely be near $1000, which for me I think is too much, especially for a console that doesn’t have many games or any at all. I will probably be waiting a year or so for the price to drop, for the system to get more games available, as well as making sure the system doesn’t need some kind of recall. Dont wanna spend $1000 on a system finding out that after 6 months the laser failed and having to send it into sony for them to fix/replace the console which would probably take another 6 months.

    1. SKOT Free

      I do believe XBOX had the same problem with the RROD, so what are you gonna play Mario Kart on Ur WiiU?

    2. blksentra2

      $800!? What country are you living in where it was that much (even with tax) at release? The most I saw it for was $599.

    3. danijel208

      There are rumors going around that the ps4 will be about 400-500 dollars on release. Because the Wii U is launching pretty soon the next Playstation and Xbox will be released arounf 2013-14

    4. ucwepn

      Same as whall got my 80gb fatty in 2008 was $600 or so, everything in Australia is too expensive even though our dollar is higher than the U.S. we get robbed at the checkout by shops.

    5. Murcie

      “$800!? What country are you living in where it was that much (even with tax) at release? The most I saw it for was $599.”

      AU$999 was the price of mine. Overall I paid $1099 at launch, with $100 added on for the game I bought at launch which was good ol’ MotorStorm.

  44. motokroy

    this really upsets me. Ps3 has sucked in general. I waited years for gt5 before I would buy the overpriced/underdeveloped ps3 and now I’m sposed to forget about the $500 I spent and buy another? No thanks. It seems to me my ps3 has a decade of updates left in it.

    1. motokroy

      after all, I played gt4 for all those years and almost everything I wanted fixed was fixed. Now just add a huge track database I don’t care if the graphics are slightly better.

    2. CrackedTrigger

      Mine was €749 on release day. It was expensive! It depends on the tax rates in your country and extra shipping charges and so on. Well I am from rip off Ireland, go figure.

    3. FlareKR

      I mean at least gave us more time with the PS3, none of the other developers are going to move on another platform any time soon. I would defiantly start planning how it would work, but not plan on carrying it out.

  45. yomamma

    Just throwing this out there since alot of what we’ve wanted has become reality. But wouldn’t it be great if you could load your garage from any PS3 in the world and use it in 2player arcade mode?

  46. ChicoMaloXD

    Didn’t they show anything new with the AUDI R8 PLAYSTATION simulator?
    That is crazy, it was only a standard car ;/

    I’m still playing (and enjoying) GT5. I don’t feel ready to jump on a GT6 hype train just yet :P

    All the PS4 stuff is exciting though, the PS3 has been around a good few years now and games like GT5 have really started hitting the roof of it’s capabilities. Personally I hope they leave behind the cell processor behind. It was a great idea, but it pushed away slightly too many developers.

    I know that I’ll be buying the next Playstation instead of (or at least before) the next Xbox… I’ve always been a bit of a Sony fanboy :P

      If they leave the cell processor behind it would be a waste of learning and investment especially for the future of the GT series. That would mean it’s possible for GT would be re-built again from ground up. But I don’t think it’s going to happen. The ps3 is a complex system which is good. But I understand your point about being pushed slightly away too many developers.

      the cells are the future and, it pushed away developers…
      sony owns <- OWNS polyphony,sucker punch,naughty dog,evolution studios, light box,santa monica, eat sleep play and ico ass well as numerous ip's Sony can live of of first party for al we care thees company's are the best
      they just need insonomic , but think of it capcom sucks ass now… and epic is multi platform… microsoft dosent own bungie .. there killer apps developer while sony owns THE best besides konami , so you tell me sony owns the best game developing company's i say microsoft and sony are gona end up killing Nintendo consoles * not hand held's* and microsofts gona drop due to lack of first party… i predict apple will never even move in to gaming

      It was not the cell processor that pushed devs away, it was the massive lack of RAM for that much processing power

      But surely, if you are a real fan you would want GT5 and 6 to be the best car game ever developed? why can’t people see the wool being pulled over their eyes.. 5 years to make a game that has pratically 50% of old rehashed content. My mates are all winding me up about forza 4 and I’m running out of valid arguments.

      Right now, the only game I want coming out of Japan is Final Fantasy XIII Versus. Screw XIII-2, nobody wants another overlong soap opera.
      Isn’t it a little early to be going PS4? Give us until 2013 at least!

    I believe nothing PD or Kaz say. That is all. I’ll believe it when I see it concerning GT5 and GT in general.

    I’ve been a bit disappointed with how GT5 has been handled since November, we had maybe to major updates with no DLC in sight. People always said the game was track limited and maybe some premo car updates. I’m sure their will be alot more people playing if they had some more tracks to share.

    The course creator was nice, but the best thing about tracks is their scenery/character and their notoriety.

    1. Magic Ayrton

      I agree with you totally,at least Turn 10 communicate with their fanbase all the time, car packs and tracks come out often.
      I love GT5 and the series in general but this stuff is killing it.. they are WAY behind now, I play GT5 often but you just can’t help but feeling thoroughly dissapointed with the same old rehashed stuff that features in the game. The lack of communication and just the general way in which the carrott is constantly dangled in front of us making us squirm.. speak out people or kill the series once and for all!!

    1. Magic Ayrton

      All we need: Many More premium cars including RUF (with proper sound) Grand Prix tracks and Hill climbs, more features like slight oil burning from cars with worn engines/high mileage. visible in replays and from rear view mirror etc if oil level drops too low engine seizes (you can rebuild an engine only if caught in time, or buy a new one for more credits)
      Animated Car dyno with possibility to overtune or incorrectly tune resulting in smoke or full engine explosion on dyno!!
      Hugely wider choice of wheels including sizes and width (tyres too)
      Re iterate. Engine sounds should be more rich including tune levels.
      If none of this is in GT6 then I will not be buying another GT, very sad but true.

      To Magic Ayrton, you’re asking for very specific things. It sounds like you want a tuning game not a racing game. Do you have a 1.1 Saxo by any chance?

      I thought the PS3 was supposed to be a 10 year machine? There is no way we’ll see a new console anytime soon. Not until 2015.
