Gran Turismo 7 Won't Come To PC According To Series Producer

Gran Turismo 7 has been in the headlines due to the game being hinted at for PC but that is not going to happen, at least not anytime soon.

[Orchard]

We’ve heard that one before. It’ll come as soon as their engine supports it, if it doesn’t already.

[ZycoFox]

Tbh I find sim games boring, like MS flight simulator, looks great but I'd probably play for like 10 mins and that would be it for me. Nothing of value lost to me anyways

[Orchard]

I wouldn’t put “sim” racing games like GT and Forza in the same bucket as FS though.

GT isn’t even a real racing sim, it’s too arcadey to fall into that bucket, there are far more sim-like games out there.

Racing is more fun than sim flying realistic jets IMO - give it a go if you haven’t already :)

[Knushwood Butt]

@ Orchard

I'm willing to bet you've never played GT Sport or GT7, or have any clue about what would make the game more or less sim-like.

I do however remember you making multiple posts about 'egregious microtransactions' though, yet here you are in a thread about GT.

[Orchard]

@Knush GT7 and Sport are not true sim racing games - neither are Forza Motorsport and Horizon.

Compare them against RF, Assetto, Project Cars etc and they’re very arcadey - quick mainstream games that a casual can pick up and play well without a ton of knowledge about cars or racing.

It did have some awful micro-transactions and annoying always online at launch - but that doesn’t make it any more or less of a sim racer.

[sweendog]

@ knushwood butt. GT isn't a SIM. If you can play it competitively with a controller, it isn't a SIM.

[IRetrouk]

Someone clearly doesn't play gt....

[Orchard]

@IRetro Someone clearly doesn’t play real racing sims.

Otherwise you’d know games like GT and Forza are way too arcade like to qualify as one.

If a casual can pick up a controller and win a race, and doesn’t require any reasonably knowledge about cars or racing - you’ve got yourself an arcade racer.

The reality is, you’d never see PD or T10 make a true sim racer because the largest market and money is where the casuals can play.

Just because you print “simulator” on the box doesn’t make it one.

[IRetrouk]

That's a lot of bollocks🤣
Only racing game in history to turn gamers into real racers, but its not a sim because you can use a controller and can change settings to make it easier?

You can use a controller for those pc sims, and change their settings to make em easier too🤣

Why are you trying to compare t10 to pd? Forza motorsport doesn't even simulate a full 900 degree steering wheel ffs, outta here with that bs🤣

I'd love to see you win anything in sport mode with no knowledge of racing or cars...it wouldn't happen, especially if using a controller.....

You clearly have no clue about the game, because if you did, you would not be making the claims you are, join one of our discord races, let's see how much a lack of knowledge on racing cars and racing rules really helps you....hint, it won't.

Polyphony takes forever to deliver new installments on Playstation alone, so don't count on it for the next half a decade!

I really want to hear a GT7 confirmation for PSVR2... you know it's going to happen, but when? It doesn't sound like it'll be a launch game, but maybe it'll be a Holiday 2023 heavy hitter.

[Orchard]

They’d probably end up having Nixxes or one of their other PC porting studios port it tbh. Like you said, PD barely handles one platform in a timely manner.

GT7 on PSVR2 is 100% going to happen - it’s just a question of when.

[SullysCigar]

Same here. I don't care if it's coming to pc or not, just tell me when it's going to be on PSVR2. Polyphony definitely want it on there, so it's safe to assume it's coming.

I think you're spot on. If it's not a launch surprise, they'll use it to drive sales going into the 2023 holiday season. It's going to be amazing, you know that much!

[Eonjay]

I want to agree with you here but I think PSPlus required for online play in this on limits their business model. I have a hunch that Sony's upcoming multiplayer/GaaS titles may be free to play just to alleviate this burden.

[Orchard]

Curious as to why though? The other online games they’ve launched on PC just use Steam Multiplayer and don’t require PS+ - why would they not just do the same for GT?

I do agree with you though that some of their future games will likely be F2P with microtransactions, possibly starting with TLOU MP.

[IRetrouk]

I thought they might have announced it on the 25th anniversary vid, seems like kaz really isn't all that interested in the idea.

[TheColbertinator]

Polyphony should bring it over. PC gamers are open to all racing/simulation games.

[DarXyde]

I'd be curious to see what mods come from it.

But also, I'm not sure how it would perform on PC (commercially). I feel like there's probably better alternatives available (I really don't know, that's my assumption).

[Father__Merrin]

I don't think there's a full feature list titles like gt7 on pc

[ChubbyBlade]

Of course you don’t father__Merrin. Making assumptions and bold claims without checking first is what you do when it comes to pc.

Had you actually done any homework you’d know PC has a huge racing sim market.

[Si-Fly]

As a sim racer I have zero interest in GT7 coming to PC, we simply don’t need it as there’s much better sims available already. That’s not to say they shouldn’t port it, the mainstream gamers are probably pretty excited about the prospect of it.

[ChubbyBlade]

You’re on a Sony worshipping site. They actually believe GT7 is a sim. Let the fanboys jerk eachother off over an average game. Let them have this one.

[andy85]

@Chubbyblade Average game. 87 meta. Pick one.

[CobraKai]

So that means yes.

[ANIALATOR136]

Lose out on money then

[mkis007]

so like every generation up until ps4/ xb1? Seemed to be doing fine without pc.

[InUrFoxHole]

That's like saying your perfectly fine with never getting a raise at work because you don't have the $ already. Get real man. You think Sony wants to miss out on that $?

[CobraKai]

True. They are doing fine, but if you can make a little more money, wouldn’t you?

[ChubbyBlade]

I really hope you never own your own business.

[mkis007]

They were losing put on money...but retaining other money. The simplicity of ports nowadays makes it more obvious than back then.

[DazaMc]

Or buy a PlayStation.

[ANIALATOR136]

For one game? Not worth it

[InUrFoxHole]

Lol you got thumbs down. But you're 100% correct. 1 game isn't worth any system. The thing is ps5 has more than 1 game lol

[ChubbyBlade]

Already own one. Would rather play a racing game on Pc and use my wheel, shifter and pedals.

[Si-Fly]

The problem with a PlayStation is all the best sim racing hardware isn’t natively compatible with it.

[purple101]

This game is big on being easy access to new/younger players. Big on grouping with similar skill level, no cheating (there is a penalty system if you try and shortcut or ram people)

I don't think the Japanese developer is going to stand for pc modding and cheating. Just a thought.

[tehpees3]

Glad to see a developer paying attention to those Uncharted and Sackboy sales. There was more money porting Killzone 2 and Little Big Planet to PS4 than there was porting those to PC.

PC fanboys need to accept it. People know that if you want Sony's games you will buy PlayStation hardware and they aren't going to change that mentality. Sorry Jim, your hope to replicate MS failed.

[SonyStyled]

What are you talking about? KZ2 never released on PS4 or PC

[tehpees3]

I am saying if they had done Killzone 2 for PS4 it would have sold better than these PC ports. I am aware it never happened but it should have.

[ChubbyBlade]

This is a fanboy. They don’t think properly.

[ChubbyBlade]

This folks, is what you call a special person. A fanboy if you will. They worship a piece of plastic over all else. Seeing them operate in the wild is truly an astounding thing. The leaps in logic like the leaps of a frog from a Lilly pad.

Simply beautiful display on full force here. Nature truly is wonderful.

[CrimsonWing69]

What a click bait title.

For those of you who only read the headline here’s what he said:

“That’s not true. Regarding a PC version, I replied “(as a developer) it’s not that I haven’t considered all the possibilities. That means that the possibility is not 0, simply if you ask me “are you doing anything concrete?” I am not doing anything. There is nothing to talk about.”

Ol’ Slippin’ Jimmy is the one who will decide and you can bet dollars to donuts it will show up., eventually. Especially with Forza being available on the platform you think Jimbo won’t want some of that PC sales pie?

[generic-user-name]

Yeah, those Uncharted and Sackboy PC sales will have him really licking his lips.

[CrimsonWing69]

Right, let’s just ignore these…

https://gameworldobserver.c...

[ChubbyBlade]

Yes because these are the same as a raving title which has a huge market on Pc.

Do you people even try anymore?

“Duuurrrr unchesttedd sode baed so a wacing gayme will two on da pwatfowm knowne fo simwoowatoes”

[generic-user-name]

"As of 21st November 2022, Sony's PC ports have recorded the following highest concurrent number of players:

God of War — 73,529 (10 months ago)
Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered — 66,436 (three months ago)
Horizon Zero Dawn — 56,557 (two years ago)
Days Gone — 27,450 (two years ago)
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales — 13,539 (two days ago)
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection — 10,851 (29 days ago)
Sackboy: A Big Adventure — 610 (22 days ago)"

Miles Morales barely doing better than Uncharted. The last 3 releases in a row have been flops on PC.

https://www.pushsquare.com/...

[CrimsonWing69]

https://finance.yahoo.com/n...

“Games like "Horizon Zero Dawn," "God of War," and the most recent "Marvel's Spider-Man" turned out to be a success, staying among the best sellers on the Steam platform for a considerable time. In fact, "God of War," held the first place for several consecutive weeks, beating new releases like "Elden Ring" and "Monster Hunter Rise."

Hmmmm… so I guess you might need to research the numbers for PC game sales to console game sales? Sounds like Sony is finding success on the Steam platform.

[MADGameR]

You can't have em all.

[MadLad]

Insomniac said the exact same thing about Spiderman, publicly.

[Elda]

Rockstar does GTA, not Insomniac. This article is talking about GTA/Rockstar.

[EvertonFC]

Yet 4 weeks ago Kaz said this;

https://www.gtplanet.net/gr...

[VariantAEC]

Article was updated and therefore disproves what you wished it would rather prove.

[EvertonFC]

Yeah I see that now, stupid Google translations as usual.

[Binarycode]

I'm still surprised they couldn't update the engine to support RT in game and not just replays. After seeing R&C, Spiderman do it. obviously with a drop in rez, shouldn't be a problem. Still needs a full damage system. Part of Racing is crashing.

[Knushwood Butt]

Assetto Corsa doesn't have it either.

[Binarycode]

I think AC you can use mods to get path tracing and a better damage model.

But for GT after all these years it should have a better damage model and on PS5 a RT mode. They could have easily dropped the rez for it, Racing games are the lightest of the lot resource wise.

[anubusgold]

Pc players dont care about a racing game that feels like you are driving on glass wheels anyway lol.. We have for more realistic options.

[MadLad]

Neither was Spiderman lol

[Ninver]

There's a market for sim racers on PC so I think PD should reconsider and put the ip on PC. More sales means more capital to create more GT on playstation. Win win for all.

[darkrider]

By this time it could. The main question right now is when is the psvr2 update. That would be huge.

[UltimateRacer]

The problem with PC and Kaz knows this is there’s too much cheating and modding.

[ChubbyBlade]

Oh no! Modding! Freedom! What bad things!

[VariantAEC]

Modding is an issue for a game actually attempting to be realistic. I've seen the AC mods some look great most do not.

[TheEroica]

That's actually totally fine considering forza is waaaay better.

[EvertonFC]

At least you've had one game so far this gen fella, chin up 🤣😂

[ChubbyBlade]

This articles about Pc bud. Pc has far more releases than either console combined.

[Elda]

LOL! Sorry PC Elitists.

[ChubbyBlade]

For an average game? You’re aware there are far better sims on Pc right? GT is barely a sim. Ones you can actually make money playing?

[KINGS47]

Would be down to see Shroud + Gt content tbh

[MWH]

No problem.

[UltimateOwnage]

Honestly, I couldn't care less. The always-online requirement of the PS5 version sort of killed the series for me. I haven't come back, so the idea of moving it to my PC for better visuals is not very appealing.
