Uh-Oh !!! I know a certain gaming "journalist" who doesn't have a very good comprehension of:
1) Business. Gran Turismo cost tens of millions of dollars to create and you have to make that money back.....plus profit.....otherwise why not just close up shop now?..... That money can only be made back on PS3 with it's 70+million install base. They could only lose tens of millions releasing it as a PS4 launch game to an install base starting from scratch.
PC is obviously the best platform to besically do whatever you want to do with complete freedom, even infringing on other companies products as long as it's given away for free. But is PC the best platform for making money? I think that's a completely different story. And PSN may indeed be the best platform for that.
Hasn't PSN had the most digital sales of any other digital games platforms? I thought I heard a few devs mention having the highest sales on PSN. ANd... #2.2.1
I would ALMOST agree with Tools of Destruction. The game really was so good. But unfortunately it's one disappointment was SO major that it just doesn't even come to mind. That is that the online in the last PS2 Ratchets were so great and so much fun, that Tools not having a similar online caused me to even cancel my pre-order.
Toold of Destruction with like...Full Frontal Assault's online would have been my dream R&C game. #3.1
Yup, Heavy Rain is the first thing that came to mind for me as well.
For me, it's either that, Dragon Age Origins, MGS4 or GT5 which will be replaced with a 6 later in the year since it's the same game just better in every way.
We still got some BIG'UNS to come too!!
I've been saying this for quite a long time now, but I think this was the best generation of gaming. The amount of good quality games with great features this gen... #1.1.3
If you don't like 8 much, look up a site called "squall's dead" or something like that. It's like this crazy conspiracy theory about the game, that I actually think is right. And while it didn't make me "LIKE" the game any more than I did, it kinda gives you (me) a whole new appreciation for 8 and makes you look at it a different way.
It's a very interesting and fairly quick read and I suggest checking it out to any FF fan that may have... #2.1.2
I like these all pretty equally, even with 1's lack of story....it's just great, and kinda made better by 9, and 9 is made better by 1. It's an interesting circle those two games create. #1.3
They say right in the press-release that the engine is scaleable and ready for the future, which means PS4. Besides, by the time I type this reply it's already a story that they have a PS4 version in mind. Looks like 1-0 me. lol jk.....kinda #4.1.2
Yeah, he deffinitely understands english. A couple times in this presentation Kaz points out he said something wrong and/or missed saying something, and tells him to say the right thing.
This may be Translator-San's last appearance, lol. #2.2.2
That's exactly what I think is going to happen. It's going to be the same exact game some time durring the PS4's second year, probably with cross-buy DLC for double-dippers, and probably even able to race online with PS3 gamers. The differences will be just cosmetic so it can play with PS3 gamers. Maybe some exclusive cars. Offline there could be differences like far more advanced A.I.
It COULD have more advanced physics obviously, but... #1.1.8
I doubt it will be that long. As soon as GT6 is shipped, they'll probably start optimizing for the PS4 version of GT6 and release it some time in PS4's second year once there's an install base and the year 1 games can get some sales.
Then take a well deserved break, because I don't think the PD team as a whole has taken a break since GT5 development went into high gear. Kaz even said around GT5's launch GT6 development started as soon as 5 was shipped. #4.1
GT has always had the best physics on consoles anyway (aside from 2 games, Ferrari and SuperCar Challenge, but no one paid attention to those games anyway), but since the word simulator is pushed with GT, and with Project Cars having some really advanced physics coming to consoles, yeah....PD needed to step their game up with the tire and suspension physics modelling. And that's right where their attention went, so credit to PD for knowing where they're lacking.
I see what the real point of this GT event was now. Not to announce GT6 and the new GT Academy, it was to give Translator-san a warm-up before E3. He was off today, should have had a warm-up on the material before thise event. Translator-san kinda pulled the energy out of Yamauchi-san's presentation.
But it's the game that matters. That said, what's the over-under bookies are giving on this game making it out in the pre-Chris... #2
They CLEARLY say that the game is coming to PS3 because of the devoted install base on the console, but the engine is scaleable for "future events"...which means PS4 being put on the market. That's a slick way of saying an upgraded PS4 version will be coming once the console's install base can cover the huge cost of making a Gran Turismo game these days.
Scaleable probably also means it can be scaled back to get a smaller version of the game working on Vita... #4.1.1
I'd hate to say I told you so, but since this is my favorite franchise ever, and SO many people with the "GT5 maxes out PS3" non-sense.......I think I'll enduldge myself and enjoy a nice big "I TOLD YOU SO" lol

Wrong. Even though they are different types of games, when it comes to breakthroughs in hardware resource allocation, those things can be applied across the board to help in any game's development.
People like me who pay attention know GT5's engine was closed in early-mid 2008 when Prologue released. It was only scaled down from Prologue (prologue has better over-all graphics) to get everything working. Since GT5's launch PD has improved visuals to a certain degre... #16.1.3
Well IDC what anyone says, Forza just isn't there on the physics/handling. In that, it's just typical racing game fair. Meanwhile that is where GT shines, and that is the most important thing for racing games.
But I do agree that GT5, as great of a racing game as it is, and I still play daily after buying it Day 1 midnight launch, is very incomplete in areas other than handling/physics and variety.

Holding back content to charge more for it IS wrong, you're right there. But true post-launch developed content is a great thing for a game you love. And PD is once of the many companies who do DLC the right way. They are continually creating cars and give them or sell them to us. They've given alot for free, you can even race on the DLC tracks for free in the seasonals. They didn't charge for a single thing until a year after the game launched, ok?
