GT6 on the Vita is such an awful idea. There are people concerned about the PS3 holding that game back. But the Vita? It's not only handicapped from a performance perspective, but it's also handicapped from a storage perspective.
Vita is handicapped sales wise. Only thing that can set that right are games that are relevant.
And a control perspective, unless they let me hook up a steering wheel through the USB! ;-)
This is the first time ever have to disagree with you.
Nothing awful about the idea, PSP had one so why not the Vita?

PSP had a spinoff

And how exactly would porting GT6 to it make it any better? How many people would actually buy that when they can play it on their PS3? And even if its cross-play, how many people would actually pay $200 to by another system that they'll occasionally use? Very few at most. There's simply no upside from a GT fan perspective for GT6 to be on both platforms. PS3 and PS4? Sure, because there would obviously be an opportunity to improve the PS3 version if it were also on the PS4. But there's no positive for a Vita version. It would literally just be PD wasting their resources.
Yeah I know.
Whining about the possibility it ever being on the Vita seems silly to me.
Here's what I would do. Gran Turismo 6, Vita exclusive. Bam.

A vita GT game would probably be called GT Vita. A port of GT5 with some changes.
It's what Sony would do if they were serious about Vita. There's always time for Gran Turismo 7 on PS4 in the future.
No this is will never be a good idea.
Having a major console franchise only on handled is not being series its being stupid.

All that would do is potentially damage the brand name of the franchise. You don't take the most popular sim racer and then make it exclusive to a platform that has no wheel support, no ability to play on a TV etc. There are people that have spent thousands of dollars creating cockpits to play GT games. They don't want to play those games on some tiny screen.
They already released it on PSP. Was it any better? Or is this about the use of 6? Because I don't see how it would tarnish the IP. It would better work for Sony to show that maybe they aren't fucking around anymore when it comes to bringing their IP's to Vita.
If anything I can't see how bringing one to PS3 at this point of its life cycle would bring anything significant to the series.
not exclusive.. but a game on both PS3 and Vita.. YOBO..
If all Sony is planning for Vita is more of that shit then they might as well discontinue it and focus on PS4.
why..? I would really enjoy playing on my PS3 at home, and then take the game with me on my Vita whenever I am on the road..
Because without some significant exclusives it will die out and fast. I'm not saying that can't be there too but it won't carry Vita very far.
so you would rather see Gran Turismo seriously crippled than a game on both PS3 & Vita..?

GT PSP was a spinoff. A number is actually quite important. Notice that Konami wouldn't allow Kojima to use the number 5 (or V as it's turned out to be) for Peace Walker? That's because the number is important. It signifies to next major step for the series. And that was reserved for its next console entry.
Which would potentially hold GT6 back because of all of the Vita's limitations.
maybe... but it doesn´t change my opinion.. I would love a Gran Turismo game on my Vita. Maybe just a "lesser" version of the full PS3 expirience..

Hum...
Gran Turismo Facebook page is posting some nice pictures...
08/05 -> picture of GT1 cover
09/05 -> picture of GT2 cover
I bet today we are seeing a picture of GT3 cover...
13/05 -> GT4
14/05 -> GT5
...
15/05 -> GT6
I assume this is the same way they did the retrospective reveal of PS4 (showing a small video of PS1 to PS3, each day, till the announcement February 20).
Niiice!

....come again?
It's hardly out of the realms of possibility to see Sony's largest franchise appear on their handheld. In fact, it's 'silly' that it hasn't been announced already.

I'd only want a GT Vita if it's outsourced, which is unlikely to happen, so I'd rather PD don't spend time making one.
Who cares? If I could do what Hanmik said I wouldn't really care what happened to the Vita as I'd still be happy playing games,
It's all psychological and still I'm not convinced that Gran Turismo 6 on PS3 would be a "next major step" by any standards.
You'll care after they stop doing these ports because of commercial failure (the ports don't just come out of a magic box, they actually need to be made)

I wouldn't rule out a cross-buy GT6 for Vita and PS3.
Devs keep saying how easy it is to port PS3 games to Vita. So I imagine it wouldn't be a huge task for it to appear on both.

It'd certainly be a bigger step than the Vita could allow. A Vita only GT6 would mean that the series would go backwards due to its limitations. The controls alone would be instantly inferior because there'd be no wheel support. So right away you've got a major negative because controls are the most important aspect of a racing game.
But that's not even a possibility. We know that it's on the PS3 because the SVP of SCEWWS confirmed and Sony wouldn't deny it. Plus we've seen multiple retailer listing and none of them have been for the Vita. It's all PS3 and two PS3/PS4 listings.
So PS3 it is then? Maybe they should call it Gran Turismo 5.5 then. And Vita version could be Gran Turismo -6

I'd love to see GT6 on PS4 around launch, but a PS3/Vita cross-buy/play GT6 would ease the pain, I'd even consider buying it day1. But PS3 only and I'd maybe skip it or buy it for cheap later.

The GTAcademy Facebook account just asked what everyones favorite GT track is, and it seems like the Ring is taking up 95% of the comments. But I was pleasantly surprised to see a few Red Rock Valley mentions.
but think about the Gifs... won´t somebody please think about the poor gifs..
you can do much better than this..

GT1,GT2 and GT3 logos are parts of the car: tire/engine/brand logo of car maker.
In both GT4 and GT5 covers, the main focus is in the car: a Ford and a Mercedes.
So... will GT6 follow this trend? Possibly a car in the cover? I suspect it. Given that they (not) showed a car in the invite to 15/05...
Edit: My prediction is that they will show the cover of GT6, with a car with something open on it... (hood/doors/trunk) and a new texture to GT logo (since GT5 has iOS glossy style logo, GT6 will be flatten, monochrome, like in the invite)
I have one so who the hell has the other?!
Lol, I'd totally forgotten about the original scratch 'n' sniff GT disc. It was supposed to smell of the pit lane, wasn't it?

Make a Vita game that s just a Bspec Bob spin off that syncs with GT6. In the middle of an endurance race in your PS3/4 version of GT6? Hand it off to Bob by pitting in, saving the game to cloud, fire up Vita and manage your Bob stint of the race on the go. Shitty controls and reduced gfx don't matter now on the portable version since it is just Bspec.
This also allows you to grind money for cars to enjoy on the console version. I did this in GT5 with a Slingbox and Logitech RF to Bluetooth receiver. I played B spec over Internet on my iPhone. The only way Bspec should ever be worth playing, on a mobile device.

it was (as far as I remember) a PAL only feature with GT2.. It smelled like burnt rubber and something else..
I remember me and a work colleague sat here at work (we had just bought the game) and smelled the Disc while we read the Manual.. lol..
They are not going to release a cross-everything GT game. It's not technically possible.
GT6 or GT Vita or whatever they would want to call it doesn't have to be the exact GT6 released on PS3. They could be different games (meaning the Vita version gets less content, maybe a few exclusive tracks/cars released later as DLC for PS3) with some cross multiplayer tracks, similar to WipEout HD and 2048.
It's not like downscaling GT5 content or upscaling GT4 content would take much resources from Polyphony, so I can't understand why you are so against GT Vita.
Yep, it was like that.

And that site also cites something that is not widely known - although it will probably stir never-before-held debate again:
