I figure if Drive Club is a release window title and I stress the if, then GT6 is at least a year after PS4 release. I can’t see Sony releasing two exclusive driving titles at the same time.

Do you reckon GT6 will be right up there against Drive Clubin terms of the graphics, engine noises and car selection? I really hope so.

I plan on buying a PS4 to my collection when GT6 is released

Good luck Sony, my perfectly original “fatboy” is the last one I buy! It works perfectly, and now it’s useless! Kiss my a$$ if you think you’re getting another red cent!

It’s only as useless as you let it be. PS2 games are still being made and they only stopped producing the console recently. Yes eventually no more games will come out for the 3…but come on! Are you similarly miffed by film makers not releasing VHS tapes?

I enjoyed the show but the show failed to reveal the PlayStation 4 system.
I at least thought they would of shown not only the controller but the system core itself.
“Hence PS4 reveal announcement”

@GRAFX21 seems as though you added “reveal” to the title yourself therefore no wonder you are disappointed… once again many people complaining that they didnt get what they were never promised… incredible
-
February 22nd, 2013 at 1:17 am - #GRAFX21
@Neilson248
its incredible the fact you disagree. I add reveal because they did everything but NOT reveal the PS4. Did you not comprehend what I said before you replied? Don’t act like you didnt want to see the PS4 Revealed. Take a look at the comments before you…Many are disappointed. However why cant we be? Aren’t we the consumer? The point is they left us all thirsty. You included. “Incredible”… pff.

February 22nd, 2013 at 6:25 am - #Neilson248
@GRAFX21… the title of the announcement reads “PlayStation 4 Announcement: Live Stream & Discussion”… where do you see the word “reveal”? The whole point of the live stream was to “ANNOUNCE” the PS4 not to “REVEAL” it. Yes I disagree because they never promised to show you the PS4 only to announce its arrival in stores later on in the year. There is a obviously a strategic reason why they decided not to reveal the console itself, maybe they dont want other companies to copy their design or maybe they are planning on altering the shape who knows… Sometimes its embarrassing being part of the GT / PS community because of how STUPID and childish the majority seems to be… no offence

@Neilson248
Like I mentioned…I never said THEY said reveal I SAID that and I admitted.
However a 2 hour announcement…should reveal it to us as they did everything else…IMO. However, they did reveal the PS4 controller didn’t they? Isn’t that part of the system? They REVEALED and introduced the platform specs and engine and also explained how it runs and how they accomplished that. They also revealed the features of the PS4, not all but a few…CEO’s, Developers, Previews and game-play of more then 5+ upcoming games and the season of the PS4 season.
It is obvious there is a strategy. However if I know the PS4 is coming this winter 2013 its not much of a surprise now isn’t it? So as a consumer, fan, and player I expected it to be revealed. As many like I said before did. Whats does your arrogance of what you claim us ” GT / PS community because of how STUPID and childish majority seems to be” A bit harsh on your end…chill out. No offense…

But still….. They never promised anything & calendared anything.
Afteral, it was only a playstation event until the day when it became a ps4 event and even then it was on to announce that it existed now not as a rumour but as fact. Shown a few games, new OS and a much im proved controller. No reveal was ever mentioned, promised or said when it will happen. Even now, an e3 reveal is only a rumour.

PS4 the pathetic show on E3 (june 2013), but the actual presentation of the console will be at the “TOKYO GAME SHOW 2013” (september 2013).

“As the system learns your likes and dislikes, … you’ll discover content preloaded and ready to go on your console,” said Mark Cerny, lead system architect of PS4. “Our long-term vision is to reduce download times to zero.”

Drive Club was originally going to be a “spin-off” to Gran Turismo… like Forza Horizon to Forza.
Kaz hated that idea.
So, I would expect a GT6 debut trailer at E3. It isnt ready yet, as up and till December 2012, devs were told the PS4 will have 4GB GDDR5.
Kaz is going to make the best of 8GB GDDR5…
GT6 will look superior to Drive Club…far far superior, And Drive Club is just beautiful.-
February 21st, 2013 at 8:47 am - #KilzoneStrife
Oh, and by saying Kaz hated the idea, I mean he said HELL NO.
He wanted GT… to be a brand that remained loyal to us. Thus, Evolution studio renamed it Drive Club. -

Brand loyal to us? That’s the best joke I’ve heard all day.

We all could see new video from new sony’s ip in racing games – drive club developing for PS4.
This game is developing by SONY studio – Evolution and simple conclusion can be made. Sony have bought manufacturer’s licenses for that.
In video there were Koenigsegg Agera, Hennessey, Pagani Huayra and some others cars never seen in GT series.
That mean those cars can be in GT6 car list. I gues it is quite possible.-
February 21st, 2013 at 7:32 am - #ScotteDawg
Sony will soon have licences for every car which will be great for the Gran Turismo franchise!
Personally, I want MOST of the Holden (GM Australia) range along with Australian Ford and Chrysler!
-
February 23rd, 2013 at 1:20 am - #sangdude82
@ ScotteDawg
Yeah, I agree with you there. Let’s hope that we will get old and new Holden/HSV & Ford/FPV cars on GT6 (especially HSV E3 GTS lol) since PD will have the Bathurst track in the game and not to mention that Nissan is coming back to Australian V8 Supercars this year.

“PlayStation Meeting 2013″…. ¿ Why they didn’t show the new PS4 ?. I am very disappointed. Day after day waiting for this event and in the end nothing at all. And nothing about GT6..? ? ?. What happens in SONY are improvising ?

driveclub sucks, GT5 is better and GT6 will be even better, I drive for myselve not someone
-
February 21st, 2013 at 9:23 pm - #Jabz99
Honeslty. They should have demoed GT6. Its will be a lot better than Driveclub will ever be.

-
February 21st, 2013 at 3:50 am - #Mikathechaos21
sorry I don’t need someone to help me play, I do everything my way, I don’t need someone commenting my playing and in the end TOTALLY NOT IMPRESSED!!
PS3 Rules!!! -
February 21st, 2013 at 3:23 am - #Youngun
So did anyone doubt it?
-
February 21st, 2013 at 2:08 am - #sniper338
I’m interested to see if Sony will repeat their pioneering and put a 4k disk reader (I’m assuming Blue Ray) in it. It seemed to be a big hit with the PS3.
-
February 20th, 2013 at 11:07 pm - #HuskyGT
I hope they eventually remake Skyrim. The PS3 didn’t do justice for Bethesda due to how hard it was to make the game work for it.
-
February 20th, 2013 at 11:04 pm - #KilzoneStrife
Alot of these games.. were made with the old dev kits..
Im sure being in Japan, Kaz has the team working on the newest ones. Only the latest dev kits had 8GB GDDR5 ram. Most the NA and EU devs had 4GB GDDR5. Sony really upped the ante with 8GB GDDR5.. every flaw in GT5 was attributed to crappy 250MB XDR and 250DDR3 video ram,
So.. at E3.. expect GT6 to top Driveclub. -
February 20th, 2013 at 9:55 pm - #QuikSlvr223
Okay, who else thought Driveclub was GT6 at first, and was going freaking insane? (I thought the game logo was the dev logo, silly me)
-
February 20th, 2013 at 10:18 pm - #Quakebass
I saw it and flipped. The level of texture detail is insane. That game is already pushing me to get the PS4 a few months after it’s release. That and the new Bungie game.
-
February 21st, 2013 at 3:33 am - #Youngun
Same, detail is unreal….. Actually super real. Forza has nothing on them and its an exclusive to us. Agera R looked like a show car, ok PD needs to respond to that now (NO STANDARDS)
-
February 21st, 2013 at 7:41 am - #ScotteDawg
Not me! Sure, it does look good, but I doubt that it will feel better than even GT3!!
As for the Forza thing on the Xthingy, there is NO way they can compete!
All PD needs to do is fix the track “glitches” and lose the standard cars!!!
-
February 21st, 2013 at 10:53 am - #MuoNiuLa
Are people seriously comparing Forza to a next gen game? Try to be fair people…
-
February 22nd, 2013 at 4:25 pm - #NA
Yup.
Might has well be comparing GT6 to Sega GT on on the Dreamcast. Considerring there is practically no solid, confimed information on GT6, much less Forza 5, or even an Xbox unveilling to be seen yet, it’s just silly.
Ah well, take the victories when one can get them I suppose. Yet to be seen GT6 beats a last gen game…WOOOHOOO!
Lol.

Agreed…That whole thing was a huge let down. They didn’t even show the dang machine. “It’s coming out later this year, but we have no idea what it’s going to look like yet…but you can share stuff on Facebook.” C’mon, Sony. Get your stuff lined up and then come see us.

I expect project cars on PS4, that will be a hell of a game i swear!
-
February 20th, 2013 at 8:54 pm - #Sele1981
I wonder that there is no section for project cars here on GTP??? Nobody heared anything from that game here?
-
February 20th, 2013 at 9:25 pm - #steebz
yes a few people have mentioned this game. i found some comparison videos on youtube and tbh GT5 looks much better
-
February 20th, 2013 at 11:15 pm - #nascarfn
no it doesent look at the new builds i literally cant tell the difference beetween real and fake anymore

Sony is a business, first and foremost. People should realize that they specifically do things to earn more profit, so it only makes sense not to allow backwards compatability, however cheap of a money making tactic it is.
