Joseph Digrado of Realgamernewz.com elaborates on Sony's and Polophony digitals decition to release GT6 on the PS3.
"The fact of the matter is that Gran Turismo is Sony’s number one selling franchise of all time and one of the most critically acclaimed racing simulators developers have to offer. Now with that said, both Sony and Polyphony Digital want to make the most profit out of their decision and by doing so they came to this conclusion…"
Sony has recruited Bungie's head of revenue Jaremy Rich to head up its live-service gaming division, Rich has announced on social media.
Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.
I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.
Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.
How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
Sony has patented to add multiple dialogue modes to let players switch between how many conversations with NPCs they want in the game.
Sony is like the only ones outta the 3 that has atuff like like this pop up changing thing in ways.
Genuine Enabling Technology was seeking damages, claiming the tech allowing PlayStation consoles and controllers to communicate infringes its rights.
Sounds like patent trolling they tried the same thing against Nintendo with the same pattern.
Motion and control input traversing over higher and lower frequencies seperate from each other allowing the controller to do both
So to recoup the money Genuine is going to take on Nintendo or Microsoft next. I hate patent lawyers they are some of the worst bottom feeders out there.
A real stretch with a forum reply sized write up. It's not worth approving, sorry.
Good read, and I totally agree. Besides, they already have Drive Club releasing for Ps4 so putting GT6 on Ps3 would be pretty awesome.
No, the reason is PS3 still have a 2-3 yr life span thats all. Why are people making such a big thing out of this, PS3 is not going to go the way of 360 when Kinect came out, PROPER games will be released for many years, games that will sell well, most will be cross-gen, some exclusive.
That is the most roundabout thing I have ever heard. Here is a thought.Maybe like several games GT6 is coming to both systems. The PS3 version is probably coming first and the PS4 version is coming later because they have to familiarize themselves with the new console.It didn't bother them making GT5 for a console that most people thought was too expensive but suddenly they turn around and make GT6 only for the because the PS4 is too expensive? There is no way that the console could even be as expensive as the PS3 was so how could it be priced 'too high'? Compared to what?
And why would they prefer to adhere to the limitations of the PS3 rather then take advantage of the power of the PS4? No third party is backing down because of price and they have no allegiance to Sony. So why should Sony's partner Polophony out all people back down especially when it is the opportunity to make a potential system seller to wow the GT fanbase? Look stop the guessing okay.When it happens we will know what it is about. Trying to use GT6 to try and prove the PS4 might be expensive is nonsense.Polophony could make twice the money just by catering to both consoles. It's not like they are making games for anyone else.Why can't it be that they are making GT6 for the PS3 and it will come to the PS4 once they have it's inner workings all figured out? But somehow you weave this into a high price for the PS4. With a new console they have to figure out the ins and outs of it and will probably make a GT6 once they get it all sorted out.But why not release on the PS3 first which they are familiar with and get the profit while they are working on the PS4 version?
Was it ever 100% confirmed that this would be a current gen title?
