PS4 launch window or PS3 Swan Song?

If it's only about $$$, cross-gen would probably give the most results.
Could make the PS4 version PSPlus exclusive YOPO with PS3 to drive subscription adoption too.

Not saying that franchise would benefit the most from that long-term, but that's hardly a debate here.

 

[amar212]

hey man, that 3 million drop between gt3 and gt4 is more than most of what sony's first party titles sell

That GT3>GT4 "3 million" drop is levelled when sales of both GT Concept and GT4: Prologue titles (both released only on selected territories) are added to GT4 sales.

You can look them as separate entries but IMO they are mutual.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Why not a simultaneous release for PS3 and PS4 (with improvements)?

At this point I'm not sure we can rule out it being a dual boot disc.

Now that would be something. Haven't seen that since the Burger King XBOX/360 games.

 

[saladine1]

So, will PD have enough time to include Bathurst on the disc?

 

[SolidSnakex]

So, will PD have enough time to include Bathurst on the disc?

I don't see why they wouldn't. They were scanning it early last year so that they could include it in GT6.

Early last year?
I thought it was a few months back..
Shit, time certainly flies..

 

[RankoSD]

This situation would also explain the reason why PD didn't let Evolution Studios to use their name (

Spoiler

though I doubt they would let them use it in any other situation

).

Two GT games within a month or two is not a good plan.

So this will be their big pre E3 reveal this year. Well alright then. Sends the message of 'if they're revealing GT6 BEFORE E3, what to the have at the actual show?!

 

[magawolaz]

I can't get excited about another GT game. They haven't innovated in the genre since the ps2.

Forza blew GT out of the water this gen IMHO.

lmao

well, since sony tends to announce a lot of games pre-e3 nowadays, i'm guessing they will talk about ps3 games, like gt6 and lbp3 and others before the conference, and will most likely dedicate it to the ps4. price, release date, launch games, other titles in development, features, they have a lot of stuff to show in e3 about ps4 since it's coming this year.

I wouldn't say "blow it out of the water" but I'll agree that Forza has taken over GT (at least in my opinion).

And this is coming from someone who was a HUGE Gran Turismo fan on the PS1/PS2. GT5 was disappointing.

Yeah, that sounds about right. E3 will be the PS4 show guest starring the Vita. LBP3 will be saved for Gamescom though.

well, they also have to announce the ps3 price cut at e3

 

[V_Ben]

Haha, aye, if they do one. Well I guess they could spend 20 minutes on PS3, 30 on Vita, and then an hour + on PS4.

Ummmm......not really.

 

[BloodMoney]

Ummmm......not really.

Yea, GT still has the superior feel/physics, much more a simulator in my opinion... though i wish GT had all the features that Forza does.

 

[amar212]

...though i wish GT had all the features that Forza does.

Interesting, I think in the opposite way.

 

[MrCookiepants]

I don't like this.

Microsoft will be launching a proper next-gen Forza soon. A PS3 game with a slightly nicer looking PS4 port is not going to compare well. Delay it a year and make it an amazing looking PS4 exclusive.

 

[magawolaz]

Which ones

 

[SniperHunter]

Boycott Polyphony Digital if this true! Sign anti GT6 on PS3 pensions, hack their website and more!

Spoiler

lame joke

 

[nero2082]

looks like I won't need PS4 on launch, dumb Sony

 

[Sorc3r3r]

Not sure how i feel about this rumor...

Btw i hope it will be a crossgen game.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Damn, turning into a Forza vs GT thread. No new news I take it ... will have to wait for E3.

I personally love both, I just wish GT5 had visual consistency and GT6 being on the PS3 will just create the same issues we saw. I'll pass.

 

[Oneself]

It has already been leaked months ago by a Sony rep, so I guess it's true.
But I wish there would be a PS4 version too... 1080p, 60fps, looking like GT5's photo mode would be more than enough for me!

 

[BloodMoney]

Interesting, I think in the opposite way.

Which ones

I really just want the freedom to paint whatever i want on the cars (wasn't a fan of GT5's color chip setup). For example i'd love to create a BWM Art Car.
I'd also like limited engine swap abilities. Drop a 2JZ or a 13B-REW into an E30 M3 for example. (i do not think you should be able to change drivetrain, i.e. rear wheel drive to awd).

EDIT: GT also needs to expand it's European car library. Where is the E30 & E36's?

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Launching a new game from your biggest franchise one your old console at the same time as launching a new console seems like a bad move to me.

 

[Natureboy99]

Ill be suprised if this isnt cross buy with Vita. Makes too much sense. Also, could it be a launch ps4 title? It cant just be a ps3 game...

 

[BloodMoney]

It's gotta be cross gen.. right?
I wish they would confirm a PS4 version.

 

[Bgamer90]

Ummmm......not really.

My opinion vs. your opinion.

Know that I'm not alone in the way I feel (e.g.: review score trends for both series).

Not interested in having a "GT vs. Forza" debate.

 

[f0rk]

GT games have such mad legs I don't see how the install bases at launch are that relevant.

I would be disappointed with it on PS3 because it would be something that actually makes the lack of backward compatibility affect me.

Know that I'm not alone in the way I feel (e.g.: review score trends for both series).

Review scores don't take into account GTs post launch support.

 

[saladine1]

He's watching and waiting to strike..everyone be careful with the GT and Forza thing..

 

[sunnz]

I can't get excited about another GT game. They haven't innovated in the genre since the ps2.

Forza blew GT out of the water this gen IMHO.

Yea full day/night cycles, night racing, rally, nascar, weather, car damage ( not great, still new, gt5 had both exterior and mechanical damage), go karting, large variety of cars ( even if low quality) and some new tracks isn't enough right ( plus some I may have forgot)


I mean forza 4 did all of that right?...


I think GT5 was far from perfect but still a great game, I tried forza 3 and 4 but I couldn't get into it, the physics felt off...



Still looking forward to F5 as I did find forza fun to play.


I am just happy we have two great racing sims, more competition will improve of them.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

[rvy]

Kinda disappointing if true, Spec III for GT5 and GT6 for PS4 made more sense to me.

 

[Dead Man]

I guess PD are VERY committed to the two games per console plan.

 

[Sid]

lol perfect response

 

[Elios83]

IMO it will be multiplatform, PS3 and Vita versions this year, PS4 definitive version next year.

 

[SniperHunter]

IMO it will be multiplatform, PS3 and Vita versions this year, PS4 definitive version next year.

oh i see, so they will probably keep the PS4 version hidden till the PS3 version is released.

 

[Sid]

I think GT6 will be exclusive to the PS3 and GT7rologue will come out 2 years later for PS4.

 

[SniperHunter]

I think GT6 will be exclusive to the PS3 and GT7rologue will come out 2 years later for PS4.

2 years is way too long. I think it will come in 2014

 

[Sid]

2 years is way too long. I think it will come in 2014

I think that's an accurate timeframe for PD.

 

[SniperHunter]

I think that's an accurate timeframe for PD.

I dunno about that...they released GT5 in 2010 and have done nothing but updates since then

 

[scandisk_]

2 years is way too long. I think it will come in 2014

 

[velociraptor]

Sounds like Sony and PD are run by monkeys.

They are insane to even consider putting Gran Turismo 6 on the PS3. What is the point of even producing the PS4?

Madness.

 

[Elios83]

oh i see, so they will probably keep the PS4 version hidden till the PS3 version is released.

It is a possibility if they want to maximize sales of the PS3 version this year.
Also on PS4 there's Drive Club this year. But the game is probably multiplatform, so a PS3 version doesn't mean that they aren't working on PS4.

 

[Sid]

I dunno about that...they released GT5 in 2010 and have done nothing but updates since then

Spending all that time making GT6 maybe?

 

[SolidSnakex]

IMO it will be multiplatform, PS3 and Vita versions this year, PS4 definitive version next year.

There's no way that they're going to be able to shrink that game down to fit onto a Vita card. Aren't Vita game cards limited to 4gb? Because GT5's updates alone are 4.4gb.

 

[kodt]

I still don't understand this. A launch title GT would be huge, instead we get to wait until 2020 for a next gen GT.
