considering how long we waited for GT5, I would eat my own hat if GT6 isn't at least a close to launch title.

JoGam4112d ago (Edited 4112d ago )

What is Sony doing to my brain? My head is all over the place. I feel like a ten year old and tomorrow is Christmas.

After watching the video must say it was more about games and how Playstation changed the way we see and play games. I got the feeling one of the announcements will be cloud gaming.

MikeMyers4112d ago

If GT6 is a launch title for the PS4 it's an instant buy for me.

NBT914112d ago

GT6 definitely will sell consoles, launch game or not.
However the video was more about how PlayStation gaming has evolved, not just the GT series, that was merely an example.
I mean SotC was in the video and Journey, but I will be very surprised if those get sequels.

Obviously there will eventually be a GT game on PS4 but I am not getting my hopes up for a reveal tomorrow. (If there is though, with Gaikai, GT6 and PS4 all shown off it would be one heck of a show!)

Aceman184112d ago

this video demonstrates why i will always support Sony's consoles. they have the variety, and aren't afraid to support new creative ideas.

so the purchase of their new system is a no-brainer for me.

miyamoto4112d ago

PlayStation single handed removed the stigma that video games are toys for young children.

That alone was an incredible feat.
Something Ninty wont do and something M$ keeps on capitalizing on.

Sarcasm4111d ago (Edited 4111d ago )

Didn't PD already say they started work on GT6 right after GT5? Being one of the premiere studios for Sony, I wouldn't be surprised if they were one of the first studios to have PS4 specifications and develop with that in mind.

So GT6 might not be that far away than we think!

BlmThug4111d ago

Holy mother of Batman, GT6 is by far and large my most anticipated title for the next-gen :D

Im glad Sony put a huge effort in experimental games like Journey and LBP and this video shows that they wont stop doing that any time soon.

GT6 tommorow at the event.

@Coco
It is still a lot better then Forza.

plaZeHD4112d ago

I agree with you, but you don't have to say IT.

DatNJDom814112d ago

Seems Gran Tourismo has been confirmed for PS4. :)

Kaz Himself? Have you even read the profile description for that account?

The hint is in the word parody! LOL.

GT6 won't be a launch window title me thinks. Only 2 years passed since GT5 release so it needs at least about 2 more years of development.

It could be announced tomorrow though.

The_KELRaTH4112d ago

I could foresee a GT5 enhancement to add support for a PS4 though such removing the slow HDD menu loading etc.

4112d ago
kayoss4111d ago

If gt6 a launch game, I'm quitting my job and go camp out at best buy.

Mounce4111d ago

Watch, the whole huge announcement was JUST GT6 and not PS4.

I'd sorta laugh.

IRetrouk4111d ago

I would cry and be happy at the same time.

AzaziL4111d ago

It wouldn't surprise me if it's announced as a launch title, only to be delayed slightly after launch, and then delayed again for 2-3 more years. Wouldn't be the first time....

clarkdef4111d ago

GT Director once said that GT5s cars are good enough for ps4. I was looking at the prem showroom cars and their detail is super high, I think higher than when driving them. Good way to see the difference is the preview at the buy point.

I assume that they would look near perfect with better lighting, lighting that the ps4 could do.

Because I think as a company they would of thought ahead, and being that they worked so hard on the cars future proofing isn't out of question.

muttley654111d ago (Edited 4111d ago )

I would buy GT6 if!! those damn yellow lines not in it
and gameplay like GT3 turn as you see fit. not regulated to follow yellow lines. that was their mistake and reason i did NOT buy GT5.

Whoo boy. A new Gran Turismo title would just make my day.

Super Bon Bon, Super Bon Bon...

BanBrother4112d ago

Happens to be one of my favourite movies, only fitting it be used in regards to the best racing sim franchise of all time.

This all but confirms it!! If I was an anime girl, I would have wet my pants right now!!!.....too far??

kayoss4111d ago

Are you talking about lord of the ring or the disney movie lion king?

Walker4111d ago

I'm talking about king of the racing silmulations .

Chaostar4111d ago

"The return of the king"

Sorry I had to, these Kaz pics have been keeping me entertained for days, time to share the Kaz love.

Cocozero4112d ago

Hopefully this gen will be the one GT becomes a AAA game again

supraking9514112d ago

gt5 was better then the latest 2 Forza's how many Forza's were released this gen and yet there missing features that GT5 has

kudakadere4112d ago

You can't compare GT5 to Forza visa versa , their different games , end off .

theWB274112d ago (Edited 4112d ago )

Missing what features? Like weather and day/light on a handful of tracks? Only part of the game was made for the PS3...60 different versions of the same car? Terrible car sounds, non-existent damage modeling. Very limited car custimization. Online wasn't in the same league as Forza. GT was a half finished game that took 6 years to make with bad menus and slow as malasses progression and you say Forza was missing features? I'd rather they not be in at all than the half assed effort GT5 was.

In other news...can't wait for tommorow and hopefully if GT6 is shown then it's a complete game.

TheFallenAngel4112d ago (Edited 4112d ago )

PS3 is my favorite console and I'm getting a PS4 on launch day but forza is miles ahead of GT5. This is coming from a PlayStation fan since ps1. I played both and forza is way better in every way.

ip4jwipthjtt4112d ago (Edited 4112d ago )

GT5 is not better than Forza 4 coming from someone who owns them both. GT5 is a great game and I love playing it with my G27 but it has some flaws that should be fixed in the next GT game.

-There shouldn't be “standard” cars. It seems GT focuses on quantity over quality in this case.

-The sounds aren't so hot either.

-GT5 should of had a vinyl/design editor. Not a huge factor but should still be in the game.

-Making paint colours a one use item and forcing players to earn them is just flat out stupid. Also "paint chips" is just stupid. Hell the game doesn't even show a paint colour preview.

The fact it took the game so long to come out, while leaving this stuff behind just doesn't add up. Again, I'm not a Forza fanboy, even Forza lacks some things GT5 has like night racing, dirt, and snow tracks. Go-karts?LOL. Not to mention I love that they gave the new Corvette Stingray for free at the time of its debut.

JoGam4112d ago (Edited 4112d ago )

Sorry my man but GT has always been AAA. Just saying.

@ Gribblegrunger. Its not just about what videos was shown but about the message in the video. I believe the clues are there.

GribbleGrunger4112d ago

Loud and clear: Expect us to continue innovating and taking risks with game development. That's a message that every PS fan will understand and appreciate.

gravv4111d ago

halo and forza also lost its aaa status last year, even journey r@pe them in the as$ left and right and its only 3 hours game lol

Sony CEO says although AI "has been used for creation," it's "not a substitute for human creativity"

"AI is not a substitute for human creativity. We position it as a technology that supports creativity. Creativity resides in people. We will continue to contribute to people's creativity through technology," the CEO said.

...not yet but 100% within the next 10 years!

..Then Sony will use it like the drop of a hat. They're no different to the others.

isarai21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

They used to be 😞 sure it was always a business, and money's always the priority, but they used to have a very strong stance on supporting artists and creativity. "Dont f#@k with the artist" was a phrase they touted a few times back in the ps1-ps3 era, a philosophy carried over from their music branch PlayStation was created from. It's not COMPLETELY gone, but it's barely there compared to what it was back then, i just want them to return to that.

Eonjay2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

I am highly encouraged by their statement about human creativity. "Dont f#@k with the artist" is exactly what they are saying. But at the same time, I don't think people understand that Sony is a corporation. If they don't realize growth, they don't get to exist. When you say 'Sony', you are talking about a bunch of investors. To speak about them any other way is a illogical and incorrect. They haven't changed. They have been a group of investors since they became a public business.

isarai14h ago

Ugh, i really wish people would stop gambling people's livelihoods by turning a project/game into their political soapbox. Im all for statements and having your own opinion, but there's more people working on this than just druckman, ham fisting your political beliefs onto just seems inconsiderate for everyone elses job security when it can result in a failure due to people avoiding it for that reason.

I play games for escape, im so tired of nearly every AAA game blatantly dragging real world issues to shove in my face when I'm trying to take a break from it all. They don't even bother to be subtle about it, quite the opposite, it's blasted and force fed to you and it's just getting exhausting

Einhander19724h ago

People are taking a whole interview and cutting it down to clips that make him look bad and take what he actually was saying out of context. For example he also said things like this AI has "ethical issues we need to address"

-Foxtrot4h ago

@Einhander

Why defend him at this point?

It’s not taking things out of context, he said what he said.

Old ND would never talk about soulless AI taking over so many creative things they are well known for. The whole “ethical issues” is just a good PR spin people who push this crap fall back on to make their statements not seem as bad. So many AI lovers do this.

AI has no place is so many creative based things.

Einhander19725h ago

Well yeah, because everyone else is using it so they need to stay competitive. It's the same as paid online, they didn't want to go that route but their competition was making so much money they needed to add paid online just to keep up.

RaiderNation2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

AI will never replace humans in game development in terms of conceptualizing new games. Humans still need to come up with the ideas and what they want to implement. However much of the day to day menial coding could be AI driven to reduce production time and team size. I could also see AI being used for bug testing/optimization that could lead to better quality games at launch. I'm actually very optimistic about how AI can positively impact game development.

Good statement but hopefully this holds up

NotoriousWhiz3h ago

People that aren't software developers just don't understand the benefits of AI. People who's only exposure to A.I is the Terminator movie and other related sci fi films won't understand the benefits it provides.

It's not about replacing human labor. It's about making human labor easier.

Many years ago, I had laser eye surgery done. It was performed by a robot. The doctor took my measurements and calibrated the machine to make sure it would do what needed be done. And then the robot corrected my vision in 10 seconds.

15 years later and I still have 20/20 vision.

Eonjay2h ago

AI in and of itself is not a 'bad'. Money is bad. Money is evil, and corporations will do whatever they can to get more of it. They will find ways to implement AI to replace as may jobs as possible. This isn't even up for debate. It is the charge of the corporation to maximize returns for the investors. They have no choice. I'm a developer and I know that my job will absolutely be replaced. Therefore, I have decided to become an AI dev. AI has a lot of potential to help us solve problem on a scale most can't even imagine. The issue, as ever is that our monetary system only ever allows us to focus on greed and fiscal growth.

But I am a pragmatist. Perhaps an AI model can be built to help protect us from our most dangerous instincts and habits. And perhaps Congress can pass laws to protect us from people who would use AI to manipulate and control us (spoiler: they wont).

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers29d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken28d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g29d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing29d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H929d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola28d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66929d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle29d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg29d ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos29d ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola29d ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
