This is why you wont see PS4 for a while, technology hasn't improved much since PS3 launched 4 years ago.
This made me laugh my ass off.

HD 4870 and an athlon CPU ($100 each) would walk GT5 and you'd have better textures, shadows etc. 1920x1080 not 1280x upscaled horizontally.
Would be nice if Sony would allow the game on PC after a year or two but it's Sony's biggest game and reason to buy a Sony console.
Trouble with PC gaming is great hardware is affordable and sat there waiting but hardly any devs are using it, while PD are struggling with 5 year old hardware that was already average to begin with.
And possibly it looks like 5year cycle won't happen this gen and we're going to be stuck with PS3 for 3-4 years more.
The PC gaming market is small for a reason. The average Joe has not the time, money, or inclination to chase the latest PC specs. Who wants to buy the equivalent of a new PS3 every few months!? There was a point when I wanted to, but not now, and I am more than happy to settle with a lowly console... 👍
Once again people are reading the question, and then answering a different question.
The question is "Do you think Gran Turismo would be better if developed for the PC?" not "Do you think Gran Turismo will ever be developed for the PC?"

It's a silly misconception to think that you need to spend £300 every few months just to be able to 'keep up'.
It'd be interesting to know how many PS3's they sold just because you can't play GT5 on anything else. I know of 2.
Count me in.
"Do you think Gran Turismo would be better if developed for the PC?"
Of course not. The gamers base on PC is maybe three times smaller as on console.
For sure on PC you could have better textures and shadows. But you would need a lot PC-power to play the game on max settings.
For developers, it would be a waste of money, because you would never see your 60 million again.
More like once a year, or once every two years... but whatever.
I can still run any game that's released at near max settings, I can easily match PS3 levels of graphics at a higher resolution than the PS3 can manage.
Someone running off at the mouth about what his PC can do, big deal problem with that is in a year of two your PC will barely be able to handle a game like Crysis 2 at full settings. PC's while powerful are utterly annoying when it comes to gaming, because PC devs are stupid as hell, always trying to shove more crap into a game than necessary and thereby requiring a gamer to have a PC with excessive amounts of RAM, Dual graphics cards and needs a room with an AC and it's own circuit breaker to run it safely.
Hurricane-nzlMarket would be smaller I gave using PCs for gaming a long time ago was just too expensive, hard to justify to the girlfriend why I need to spend $700 on a new gpu just so i can run a game at a higher res. Console it is what it is so I just enjoy the gaming aspect instead of forever tweaking settings to get game running perfect on pc. just my 2 cents.
More like every six months! I brought my PC a few years ago, and by my estimation, graphics cards are three, maybe four generations ahead of where I am.

you need to convert to NZ $There is not a game made that requires dual graphics cards. Likewise you can play Crysis on a 4 year old rig. You just can't pimp out its graphics to the maximum. Infact if you played Crysis on a 4 year old rig it'd look something like a console game...
If that's your two cents. Take them back. The most expensive category on the Tom's Hardware Graphics card list is $410 and up, and everything in that category is insane overkill for a modern game. All you need is a 100 to 200 dollar card.

"Considering how long it took for GT5 to be released, I fear that if it was on PC it would have impossible specs to run thanks to Kaz's pursuit of perfection. "
Comedy. You played GT5? It's not perfect.
If, after 5 games, he can't do it, probably time to drop the pretentious rubbish. I can't stand all the "kaz said this" and "he's such a perfectionist" because pretty much, they don't deliver.
