PS3, right..
sept. 2013: "GT6 will be delayed"
jan. 2014: "we want to release the perfect simulation, please sit tight"
july 2014: "we want to provide our fans the best experience, we decided to shift the current "development" to a PS4 version.
dec.2014: "next year arrives...soon!!!"
july 2015: release

No backwards compatibility remember.
I'd like to know their reasoning behind it, actually. Is GT6 just an improved version of GT5, done more or less by a side-team while GT7 for the PS4 is already in development? Was it supposed to release much earlier, but it was again the victim of Polyphony's delays? Do they just want to cash out on PS3's user base and don't think having GT on the PS4 will be important in the first years? And isn't this serious competition for Drive Club, which supposedly releases not much later/earlier?
Gran Turismo is (or was?) probably Sony's most important IP in Europe. I can't imagine they want to repeat what happened this generation...

Probably going to look marginally better than GT5.

Is this official????
Except a proper GT on PS4 would never have been ready for launch. On the PS3, they are able to reuse the engine they built for GT5 as well as most of the assets. This is why Drive Club is a launch window title for PS4. In addition, PS3 has a larger install base, and GT is Sony's best selling franchise. They would severely constrict their sales by launching it alongside the PS4. PS4 will get a proper GT, but it's obviously going to take some time.

Having your biggest IP on a consoles that going to run into supply problems makes no sense .
Unless people think Sony going to have millions of consoles in warehouses waiting to be sold .

The amount of content in that game 0.0
I think you're overloading the user experience, I'd rather they left those standard cars behind.

I don't even mind the platform choice, but the press release is just goddamn anti-climactic. Hopefully we'll learn significantly more at the event.

Joke's on Sony; I did not realize there was a PS3 before GT5 same with PS2 and GT3. Next Gen will start very late for me.

Between TLoU, Destiny, Puppeteer, and this it seems like they didn't really plan their software development well.

My first thought was that it seemed a little suspicious as well. Not sure if its true but well see. Embargoes are broken all the time.

I'm down with this, will be getting day one, I don't expect PS4 to have a launch GT game so it comes as no surprise that this is being released on PS3.

If you want a willy waving graphics contest then it might look like bad news but seeing they are paying attention to tyres has me excited.

HAHAHAHAHA. OF COURSE it would be on the PS3. What would be the whole point designing an engine consuming almost an entire generation? With the "easy-to-develop" for console on the PS4, Drive Club would definitely have the chance to stretch it's legs while KY works on a next-gen re-iteration hopefully on a shorter time period.
So now PD are gonna start even later with PS4 development? What good will that do? If they started GT6 for PS4 back in 2010 after wrapping up GT5, they would've been 3 years in development. So no to your "it would possible never ever see release at all".

It seems idiotic not to have it on PS4 day one. How many people sell/trade their systems when they upgrade? Sony just gave five million GT fans a reason not to buy a PS4. Moronic. Of course it should be on PS3, but not exclusively.
This is really what surprises me the most. Why make the effort to develop a new IP, when you release a new game of what might be the biggest racing IP alongside it?
I'm truly shocked it's only for PS3.

Well, at least the PS3 is going out with a bang. God of War, Beyond, The Last of Us and Gran Turismo in the last year before the successor console gets released is the strongest swan year line up ever.
Except PS4 dev kits didn't exist until 2012...

Makes me wonder how long it'll be until GT arrives on PS4, unless this ends up on both platforms eventually?
It's nothing like that, the 3DS plays DS games.

I don't see what the problem is.
GT5 was really well supported during all year after his release and GT6 will probably be a good game is they properly understood the problem ( menu , standard cars ) GT5 had.
I'll get GT6 because what i want is a good game.

And I thought Sony learned from there ps3 mistakes
This. If they update the GT5 engine even more its gonna look amazeballz. If they made if for PS4 they wound need a whole new engine and Polyphony is slooooow
3DS is backwards compatible. PS4 is not.

No real surprises there at all.
I just want to see what it looks like now.

yeah it baffles me too that people here can't understand it.
This is long a shot. They knew GT6 would need to be on PS3 that's why they greenlighted Drive Club to start a new franchise on PS4 that was the perfect opportunity and business decision.
