Audio Released of Sony Executive’s “GT6 on PS3″ Comments
An audio snippet of SCEE Senior Vice President Michael Denny suggesting Gran Turismo 6 will be released this year on the PlayStation 3 has been published by Silicon Republic, the website which conducted the confusing and controversial interview with him last week.
His comments have gained widespread attention in the media due to the implications of Sony’s flagship franchise releasing on hardware that’s soon to be obsolete by the upcoming PlayStation 4.
Some have speculated if his comments were inaccurately transcribed or recorded, which is likely why Silicon Republic has released the audio clip. “We had a lot of queries regarding Denny’s mention of GT6 in an article we published, so we thought we’d let you hear it for yourselves.”
Indeed, his voice sounds confident and assured as he talks about the game, which will only further fuel speculation.
Head over to our Gran Turismo 6 forum for more discussion and debate. Thanks to “Classic” for the tip!

Making GT6 on the PS3 would save me money, because I don’t want to buy a new console to get just GT6. Since Forza was only Xbox, I took that chance now I’m at where I’m at now.

You are right. Personally i think the hardware is to expensive, especially if you play only in one game. And build quality of new consolesalso is worse and worse, definately not worth money.

@ HuskyGT
you make a good point abot hating the online gaming era, It’s full of broken games
years ago they had to make sure the game was pretty much perfect before selling it, Now we end up buying broken games and waiting for an endless amount of patches to fix what should never have been broken to start with -

The PS3 hasnt been backwards compatible since 2008 or 2009. This isnt a gamechanger so many make it out to be. I wouldnt think its a good business model to develop a new Gaming console but foolishly leave the door open for players/consumers to buy/play last gen discs on it.

Speaking in an interview with 4gamer, Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida talked briefly about the studio’s role in the production of the systems.
“Key members of Polyphony Digital are involved in the very development of the PS4 and the Vita,” the likeable executive said. “I am thinking of asking them what’s going on with Gran Turismo, but related matters will probably be made clear by its representative Kazunori Yamauchi in due time.”
This quote was made shortly before Michael Dennys perceived Slip of the tongur/cat out of the bag statement and seems to imply that future GT title is still a mystery outside of Sony/PD.

I’m confused, We paid for the games why shouldn’t we be allowed to play them on our new system instead of having to buy them again. I’v spent about £1900 on PS3 games, So why do some think its ok to be forced to spend that much again on something you already have ?
Plus my PS3 memory is pretty full so how many games can we fit on the PS4 in downloads before we have to delete old games for new ones.
which brings me back to my 1st point that I’d have to buy my fav games out of the 42 i got, And probably end up deleting them to make room that’s why backwards compatibility and being able to buy disc’s is so important to some of us.

@GTlondoner, no one is forcing you to get rid of your ps3 when you buy a ps4.

February 28th, 2013 at 12:48 pm - #HuskyGT
Completely agree with you, GTlondoner. It’s fine with my old PS1 and PS games since still have my PS2 and I can play my PS1 games in my PS3, but what about the hundreds of dollars I’ve spent in PSN games? Sure, I will keep my PS3, but it’s not going to last forever like old consoles. And if they eventually stop making the PS3, how am I supposed to play these games? Buying them again in the new PSN seems unfair to me and worse would be with the disc based games since I wont be able to play them again. And that’s the reason why I will never like this online gaming era.
This is the first time a fully online console is becoming obsolete to give space for a new one, so we still don’t know hoe Sony will sort this out. Hopefully they don’t disappoint, because what we buy is ours and we should be able to make use of it whenever we want, or at least they should provide an option so our games are always available for us to play.

@GTWelsh
I know no one is forcing me but I don’t have much room for consoles everywhere and the chance’s of me hooking up the PS3 to play an old game is very slim,
But since I can play PS2 games on the PS3 i still go back to them sometimes.The business model argument is compleat BS as well
Good business is keeping your customers happy so they keep coming back to you,
Not screwing them out of as much as you can on the first sale. -
February 28th, 2013 at 1:10 pm - #Pit Crew
Actually your argument is more BS then a little bit. Keep your Backwards Compatible PS3, till it yellow lights then retire from gaming. PS4 and its next gen titles will be here for true consumers to enjoy.
-
February 28th, 2013 at 1:14 pm - #sumbrownkid
I agree with Pit Crew. You want to play your PS3 games? then keep your PS3. I feel for you if you have to sell one console to buy another, but that’s not Sony’s problem. That’s just Sony exploiting something a big company would exploit.

You do know if you want backwards compatibility they need to incorporate Cell technology, which ain’t cheap. I don’t know why people just can’t understand, it’s not about being an evil company and exploiting customers, it’s about keeping the initial costs down to a minimum. Also sounds to me like you are rather oblivious to the mass recession we are currently in, so thanks for your sympathy.

I dont know if its my ipod that makes it sound this way to me but the sound sounds like it has been edited to make it seem like he’s said it, i dunno. But if GT6 comes out on ps3 i’ll be a happy lad :D

GT6 would have to be a heck of a lot better then GT5 for me to purchase it on the PS3….. I don’t doubt that PD are able to exploit the PS3 hardware,( prob better than anyone else)…. But I just don’t see the; “800+ premium cars”, “better shadows”, “better car sounds”, “more extensive car customization” ….. and all these other things, just appearing in GT6, especially when they could’ve been patched in 5.

I agree, I may skip GT6 altogether to be honest.. just felt slightly let down by the same old GT4 animations tracks and cars.. GT5 is a good game, just a little too evolution instead of the revolution we were all waiting for and quite frankly expecting.
-

February 28th, 2013 at 8:30 am - #Magic Ayrton
PD will have a game like Forza Horizon for the PS4 along side GT6 for the PS3, It will have state of the art graphics, sound and physics and will lean much more towards track and car creation with many car mods, a rolling road and tuning options.. will probably be a stop gap before GT7 believe me this will happen!
-
February 28th, 2013 at 11:53 am - #Pit Crew
What game would that be? Seems you got all the answers…Mind you PD has only produced three Intellectual Properties, and 2 dont involve cars.

RESHIRAM5 has a point, we are all forgetting that games is where they make the money, look at the sales of GT5 and its a no brainer, its all about money so this idea of launch titles being important is correct to a certain extent but in terms of profit GT6 would sell shed loads on PS3, they know that a large percentage of PS3 owners will update to PS4 at xmas and the rest will follow in a year or two but in the meantime i’d say 90% of GT5 players will purchase GT6 for PS3 on its release, it makes sense. It will be an interesting E3 methinks…

so.. we got 2 GTs on ps1 2 GTs on ps2 and 3/4 of a GT on ps3.. and 6 years after the ps3 is released and the ps4 is announced now there is a buzz about gt6 lol.. think about it.. i’d be happy if they release a GT6 for ps3 cuz well lets face it i may not have the bucks to throw out on a ps4 when it is finally released but what happens when i finally do get a ps4.. how long am i gona have to wait to get a GT on that console. and if they do release a GT on the ps4 what does that say for GT6 on ps3.. does this mean they will have to support 2 GTs on 2 different platforms? i personally think that there is only 1 reason they would release on PS3 and that is because they are too far along with the development on the Cell architecture and its too late to switch to the x86 architecture of the ps4.. i really don’t know why the development of gt5 took so long but i think they are feeling the repercussions of that now.

Listen people, a reason why they could be doing a PS3 release is because when the PS4 comes out, it won’t get 10 million with a flick of a wrist, people usually by them 1-3 years later (like me with my Wii and PS3) so GT6 on PS3 is a smart smooth because a majority people who have a PS3 won’t have a PS4 at the time so GT6 will sell more quickly, take a look at the latest Pokemon DS game and that was still a good sellar even though there is already a 3DS.
PS3 servers won’t shut down until a probaly 3-5 years as it took the original Xbox servers to shut down.

But then no one would buy a PS4 because if GT6 is on PS4, it could help with sales.
-
February 28th, 2013 at 10:26 am - #Pit Crew
^What…??? So your saying GT6 is gonna be the only game worth buying the PS4 for ???
Thats some pretty weak logic

February 28th, 2013 at 12:37 pm - #RESHIRAM5
@ Pit Crew; I’m a Nintendo Person but Nintendo had no 1st party driving simulator so a buy a PS for GT, although I’ve recently been enjoying Ratchet and Clank.

He simply said it could help with sales and hes right and im pretty sure there have been many more people saying exactly the same am i right?

If indeed GT6 released for PS3, then i just have to buy the game for $50-$60. And if they release it for PS4, then i have to buy PS4 for $450-$550 + GT6… wich is alot for me now :p …either way, i’m happy.
But if they release it on both PS3 and PS4…. that’s something even better :)

“Soon to be obsolete?” Given that the next gen PS4 isn’t even backwards compatible with it’s predecessors, I highly doubt that.
-

Well, you can stream PS, PS2, and PS3 games, so… yeah, it is kind of getting obsolete.

Of course he may have just made a mistake, he obviously knows all the games coming out on both consoles, could just be an error?

February 28th, 2013 at 4:31 am - #kollosson
It seems they want to carry on supporting PS3 and keep it going for as long as possible but i just can’t see what they can gain from this, a new GT game on PS4 is a killer title, it would sell consoles, how many of us bought a PS3 specifically for GT5, i know i did, can’t see what they would gain by releasing GT6 on PS3 with the PS4 just round the corner? unless they got 2 versions but i would much rather GT6 was coded just for PS4 otherwise you get the feeling you would be getting a game that could have been better, i dont know…
-
February 28th, 2013 at 7:37 am - #pnbr0014
i agree… i’d be MUCH more excited if GT was being announced for ps4 instead.. GT5 just took way way way too long to develop on ps3 I enjoyed every minute i played GT5 for (minus the engine sounds lol) but i think they should pick up the pieces and launch on PS4 even if they launch in late 2014 or 2015. like i said in my other comment.. the only reason for a ps3 launch would be cuz they are too far into cell architecture already to switch to x86

I don’t know, maybe I’m in denial. But this guy is not Kazunori Yamauchi. So I still feel the relevancy of this statement only clarifies that GT6 will be out this year @ most. But what system? These execs have been known to affirmatively state incorrect information. And at this point, any clarification would be too revealing on PD’s part so they just let the rumor fly without affirmation/correction because they are sticking to their plan and not releasing any info until a scheduled time (likely E3, but who knows). It’s like trying to crack a code with these guys, but we don’t even know where to find the computer.

February 28th, 2013 at 4:26 am - #Lambofanghini
^^Agreed. We are guaranteed to see something by E3. I just wonder about that demo we’ve seen on the hybrid NSX. It looks like native PS3 technology to me. If they do bring it to PS3 then, they already have a wealth of hidden content to unlock that’s appears buried within the current GT5 disk. I’m hoping for another run on the PS3. PD has always been great at improving things, even when the limit appears to have been reached.

Heck no should they be fixing anything more on gt5! Gt6 will be the next fix.
