Well, that's one way to make sure people don't get rid of their PS3's when they get a PS4.
cross platform, they don't lose ANYTHING, other than people jumping on the PS4 earlier.

Why is everyone so surprised it is for PS3?
I mean really, you expect Sony to drop first party games for PS3, just because PS4 is coming this year?
Well people, not everyone that owns a PS3 will be getting a PS4 straight away. What are they supposed to play exactly?
This complaint comes across as sour grapes. ''I will have a Ps4 by then so fuck people that do not''.
PS4 early adopters get a racing game all the same. Putting this and DC on PS4 in first year would have been a stupid move. They would limit sales of the new IP and piss off PS3 only owners.

That's crazy.
I get the feeling this will be GT 5.5 though.
Meh, I wanted it for PS4. Less cars, more detail, and a vastly improved A spec.
This also confirms we won't see a true PS4 GT for years (and years).

GT6 will inevitably make Sony a lot of money at a time when they'll be making initial heavy losses with a hardware launch. Money which they can then reinvest in to the PS4 launch marketing etc. I get that. It also helps keep their loyal PS3 customers away from Durango, even if they're on the fence about PS4.
But the usual point of first party software is to drive new hardware sales, to lead the platform. This is the opposite of that. This is a publisher looking to have profitable success with an existing install base, and is likely to only delay the launch of GT7 on PS4.
Eh?

So that they can port over all the effort they made for PS3 to PS4, call them standard cars, do about 200 cars for PS4 and call it a day.

more like that people don't understand that only a small group of people would buy an expensive console just for a game.
It's like talking to PCgaf that a 300$ GPU is more than just mid-end for the most people.

Someone should remove the "officially announced" from the thread title.
Right, Sony should focus on selling one piece of software on a (likely) loss-leader platform. Sounds like a good plan?
OR...
They could release the game on a platform with a large user base, increase their profit margins to help cope with the losses of a new hardware launch.
Hmmm...

I wonder if people will be as salty when LBP3 is PS3 game that releases in 2014 :lol.

Why are you guys surprised? GT4 did this, by coming in late in the system's life.
I'm pretty sure Polyphony will release GT7 4K/Prologue on PS4 though, and show a demo of it in the upcoming GT event today.

Which is a... good thing? God of War 2 was the best in the series and it sold gangbusters.
Did you even read the post you quoted? I said it should be on both.

So, just GT5 but with more stuff?
:/
I can't get excited about this.

I can't get excited about this.
Given that PD has repeatedly stated that their premium assets are suitable for "next generation" I see no reason to think that they won't take a lot of this work and work on a new GT down the line. Hell, it's likely that they already have a team working on a GT title for the PS4 at this very moment. GT6 needed to be on PS3, 100%, given Sony's financial situation.
The details alone got me wet. This is great news. Get your team use to PS4 and its hidden secrets Kaz. Don't rush, me and the millions of faithful will be waiting. PS3 getting the biggest love this holiday which it deserves as it heads into the twilight.
Always been, but some either just started gaming or tend to ignore this.

In fairness they're on separate consoles. An effect will be felt, but some in this thread are suggesting they release a PS4 port alongside DriveClub. Now that would be madness.
Edit: "officially" announced? lol
