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!

I’m quite sure he’s probably grilling Mr Denny, oh well, the beans have been spilled.

I hope gt6 has the same graphics as gt5, just more of everything, like i hope its like gt2 to gt1 or gt4 to gt3, very similer graphics n physics, like it would be sick if it had near on 800-1000 premium cars! And quit a few more tracks, i got a feeling that those new tracks we saw are for gt6 seatle and willow springs etc, kaz better not delay gt6 though

I would love to be the calming voice in all of this and say he could have meant something else… but on hearing how clearly and confidently he says GT6 is a little bit of a boost… I was going to say he probably meant GTA (Grand Theft Auto) but he then says you go onto 3rd party companies then mentions GTA…
Very promising, very promising indeed… E3 reveal I say

No no ps3/ps4 or whatever don’t go around say false content that’s very immature and very dumb and by the looks of it, it might come on ps3 listen to the recording again!!!!!

To me it means PD is not done releasing content. Cars, tracks physics upgrades are all still in line. And think about the new tracks they added. I think all cars will be premium soon enough.

Think about this for a bit longer. Do you honestly think Sony would NOT have they’re most successful developer make the next GT for their soon to come next big console? They would sell loads more boxes if they did.
I swear, its as if Sony is treating PD as if it’s not as important as their blockbuster game developers (ex. ND, GG, ect…).
-

Ok, if GT6 is around the corner, why would PD still make content for GT5…? I’m done speculating on which console the game will come out on until more info surfaces, but either way, GT6 is coming, and soon. I’d expect some sort of unveiling at E3 this year.

My opinion is that GT6 will probably be a PS4 title, possibly around the middle of next year. My reasoning is…
1: The PS4 will have been released at least a few months earlier in all territories.
2: People in the US and Europe are more likely to be able to play it, as they will have time off school or work to spend some extra time with their children who are off school.
3: Sony will likely not want a new game of their own to maintain servers for on the PS3 with their new system nearly out.
4: GT6 on the PS3 wouldn’t really affect PS4 sales, but putting it on the PS4 will likely have a significant positive impact.
5: PD had issues making GT5 all it should be, a problem that could bleed into GT6 and relates to…
6a: Pure speculation on my part, but I’ve quite long held the belief that GT5 utilised an engine developed with the PS4 in mind, which could have been done because of the PS3′s (well publicised) difficulty to develop for. OR…
6b: The PS4 has been in development for the last 5 years, who’s to say that GT6 hasn’t been in development since ’08? It could be the biggest reason GT5 wasn’t as polished as previous games in the series, PD appear have a great contract with Sony and decided to skip the PS3 and the game we know as GT5 was developed just in case they HAD to release a PS3 game or face redundancy.I know a lot of this sounds extremely unlikely, but points 3 and 4 make me believe that it’s unlikely GT6 is a PS3 title and the possibility that GT6 could be developed for 5 years and STILL be a PS4 launch title means that worrying that it could be a “small / incomplete” game before seeing it is pointless. If I’m wrong, no harm, if I’m RIGHT… GT6 could be an extremely worthwhile game. Here’s hoping that whoever’s right GT6 turns out well and is released relatively soon! :)

PD have ALWAYS had two main titles on each version of the PS.
What makes people think it would be different now.
Not one of the staff member have come out and said the next GT game would be on new device.All we have are people assuming and most of us know that assumption is the mother of all ……….

February 27th, 2013 at 8:22 pm - #Quakebass
The fact that two games have come out on two generations of Sony hardware means nothing… Why do people think this is even a reason that GT6 will likely be on PS3…? Has PD or Kaz ever said they wanted two GT games on each generation of Sony’s home console hardware? I don’t believe they have. Did Kaz say he wanted to have the most top-notch hardware available for his game? Yes. Did this Sony executive claim GT6 will be on PS3? Yes. It’s really up in the air for me right now.
There are better reasons to think that GT6 will be on PS3, though.

Why are they bringing out the PS4 if they are so desperate to elongate the life of the PS3 by releasing the biggest franchise game on the old console. I can’t see how they can go much further with it than they have with GT5 with the old technology.
-
February 27th, 2013 at 8:47 pm - #Quakebass
On the PS3 they can go a little further with GT5 – not much graphically, but moreover streamlining it’s performance. Better menus, shorter load times, etc. The Premium cars and weather/time cycles can’t get much more detailed. But, did you notice that only 20% of the cars are Premium…? And not many tracks have weather and day/night cycles? (And many aren’t very high-res…). AI algorithms can be improved on the PS3, I don’t think it would be too taxing. Mechanical damage can be improved, adjustments to the game engine, specifically the tire model – both wearing and general grip; but also adjusting how cars pitch and roll. There are some times where (in reality) your car hitting the inner cornerstone in a bend could tilt your car quite a bit outwards (or even send it into a roll-over crash), and there’d be all kinds of grip loss there. I’m not sure how far, but damage model CAN be improved. Only 4 cars in the game can actually lose parts. I’m pretty sure that can be improved, as well as over-all modeling.

Unless PD simply built on and honed in the build from GT5, possible as GTs 2 and 4 did the same, then I’d be sceptical. Who am I kidding, I’d be sceptical if they announced anything new for GT5 aside from ending the online servi….wait. The NSX video, didn’t it have Seattle in it, it’s not announced for GT5, and it….
This may actually hold some weight.

I love GT5!!! If the GT6 will be released on PS3 then we get two online games gt5 and gt6(5)? Who needs it? This is stupid… ::gt6 on ps4::
-
February 27th, 2013 at 5:51 pm - #Projectoutlaw
Once ps4 is out whey would Sony push to have gt6 this year. All this sounds fake. Why would gt5 take 6 years to make and gt6 only 2 years. That just makes it seemed rushed.
-
February 27th, 2013 at 6:15 pm - #BMfan
Maybe because they don’t have to redesign the whole game for new hardware like they had to with GT5.

Thank you BMfan for pointing out the apparently not so obvious to some people.

That’s what I’ve been saying for a while… We already know development for GT6 started before GT5′s release…

I think it’s correct what he’s saying about it coming to PS3 – Sony an PD know GT already has a huge following on the PS3, they want to maximize sales on the PS3 install base. Business is business. Selling 10 million of GT6 over one one year would be much more acceptable than launching on the PS4 and waiting a whole year to get 1 million copies sold. They are both in this for the loooong game. Kaz’s comments about the PS4 being a blank canvas were ominous. When you sit at a blank canvas, you are about to start something new. It’s been 2 versions of GT per console and it’s totalled around 70 million copies so far – they are not going to upset that model.

Hmmm… I, like many of you, have my gt5 data installed on the hdd. That means that if they did release it on ps3 that most of the premium cars could probably be used in gt6 even if their not on the disk. That would be pretty cool.

Will that include most of the 1,081 standards that i have in my garage, i’m mos def down with that too. LOL

Honestly I hope it’s on both. GT5 doesn’t need any graphical upgrades, and physics don’t take a lot of resources. They can get what I want out of GT6 on the PS3. All I want is physics that can compete with netkar pro and iracing, and physical damage that’s always on, no more of this light/heavy crap especially online. Anybody that has played iracing will know the effect that strong mechanical damage has on a community. The reason iracing has the best public racing by far is because of that and the safety rating, GT6 would be amazing if it had that kind of community. No more tire selection either, I’m sick and tired of not finding good race lobbies in GT5 because every noob wants to use racing soft tires all the time on every car in the game instead of actually learning how to drive properly. They need to streamline the multiplayer so that it’s not a mess like it is now. At the very least they should have 2 different types of lobbies, one with custom options like it is in GT5, another that’s full simulation. I think that would make a lot of people happy

February 27th, 2013 at 9:41 pm - #Progress823
I mostly agree with you, though restricting tire choices may be a bit extreme. If more players would use the tires for their intended uses (softs – qualifying, mediums – short races, hards – endurance [even sports soft for this]) there would be more rewarding racing.
Have you tried making your own lobby by limiting tire choices?
-
February 28th, 2013 at 1:43 am - #TomBrady
That takes way too much time. That’s my main issue with GT5s multiplayer. It just takes too long to race or find different lobbies. I wish there was matchmaking.
And I’m fine if they would limit tire choice to one thing for each session, but it kind of wouldn’t make sense, wouldn’t you want to practice on the tires you’ll be using in the race? At least I would. My main issue is the stickiest tires. Racing soft makes GT5 feel like an absolute joke. R M ‘s don’t feel great either but on softs, it just feels so much like an arcade game and I can’t stand it. Even on F1 cars, it just feels ridiculous. I can’t do it. I’m in an F1 league and I put myself at a disadvantage every week because they’re ok with using softs and I’m not. I use hards every race

I thought so too. To me it almost seemed like an uninformed, clueless assumption rather than insider knowledge. But I suppose it could be insider knowledge.

It’s been 4 days already since this suppoed flub has come out from Denny. I’d say that if it was a mistake, that someone from Sony Japan/USA or PD would have come out and stated that it was incorrect, false or otherwise, or they are gonna at this point keep using this to stir the pot and keep us the fans in the dark??? I just want the game regardless. I have plan in place to buy a PS4 when it comes out by saving my money(wife is not enthused but its gonna happen regardless lol) but if its on PS3 I will buy it so it saves me money in the mean time. I see no reason for anyone to trade their PS3. Save it, move it to another room. What happens if your brand new PS4 takes a dump!!(we all know this happened with some PS3′s when they came out). You won’t have jack to play on now will you!!

The hype would continue if they cleared the air. In fact, it would grow if they confirmed what system it is going to released on.

TokoTurismo,
Drive Club is an arcade racer.
Not a simulation.It is a direct competitor to Project Gotham Racing.
The PGR trademark was revived two days ago,
and says PGR and Forza will be at Xbox Event in April..-
February 27th, 2013 at 4:14 pm - #TokoTurismo
And where did you hear this may I ask? If its another rumor I’m doubting PGR except FM…

February 27th, 2013 at 4:27 pm - #AKps3
its a mix from sim and arcade

February 27th, 2013 at 7:15 pm - #MadmuppGT
I would say DriveClub is aiming for the Forza Horizon, Need for speed crowd if I’m being honest…
