Of course. But even if they announced GT8 in 2024 it wouldn't come out before 2026.GT7 still selling well, in the PS5 top 20 (Europe).
No urgency to release something new when the current one is going strong.

it will still kill the sales of GT7... I really doubt we will see GT8 that soon, I think there is high chance of GT8 to come out for PS6 with PS5 crossplatform.Of course. But even if they announced GT8 in 2024 it wouldn't come out before 2026.
Imho i wouldn't count being a crossplatform especially when PS6 launches , it only happened with GT7 because of obvious reasonsit will still kill the sales of GT7... I really doubt we will see GT8 that soon, I think there is high chance of GT8 to come out for PS6 with PS5 crossplatform.
Obvious reasons being GT7 was being developed since 2018 on the base PS4 and the fact that the PS5 had barely sold 20 million units compared to the PS4 with 115 million units? Sony prioritises money, GT7 wasn't even a launch title and was still a crossplatform game, the same will happen with GT8. They'll just restrict some features on the PS6 version like GT7 with Sophy and PSVR2.Imho i wouldn't count being a crossplatform especially when PS6 launches , it only happened with GT7 because of obvious reasons
Ps5 has sold like 50 million now, gt7 was never planned to be released on ps4 at first, it was marketed as ps5 exclusive but changed because of ps5 shortage,Obvious reasons being GT7 was being developed since 2018 on the base PS4 and the fact that the PS5 had barely sold 20 million units compared to the PS4 with 115 million units?

If publishers could release a title and subsequent sequels every 2-3 years they'd be jumping for joy. The biggest cost in game development is staff - the more product they can get to market - the more income generated. Iterative titles like Gran Turismo (and all sports titles) have different development cycles to traditional single-player games which are rebuilt from the ground-up, with new game worlds, all-new story etc.Look how long games live currently. This is not 90’s or early 2000 anymore. Game development and marketing costs are muvh much bigger than used to be. It is no longer profitable to sent new game every 2-3 years.
Sales legs for GT7 are very strong but we have only just passed it's 2 year launch anniversary. By year 3, and especially year 4, there'll be a significant drop-off and the market will be ready for a sequel. Microtransactions are one means to generate post-launch income - but it's rather outdated and unattractive to most players. I haven't spent a penny on such things but I would be a regular purchaser of cosmetic items (wheels, aero parts, interior items), plus more substantial DLC like car and track packs.They already put microtransactions to monetise it + the game still sales very well
I'd expect every major AAA title from Sony to receive a PS5 Pro update - for most it would be a case of utilising existing tech. IE, RT support in gameplay, not just replays. Higher LOD car models, higher resolution textures, effects and so on. If, as I suspect, GT7 is one of the showcase titles for PS5 Pro, it make sense to invest.Ps5 pro is here in late 2024 probably. You would burn money for updating GT7 just to send new game just an year later? That doesn’t make sense. Remember GT8 is not just development cost but huge marketing cost…
There are diminishing returns but a next-gen only Gran Turismo that maximises PS5 will not be able to run on PS4. Even with reduced resolution and (if you're willing to compromise) sub 60FPS. I'm sure PD's game engine has already undergone updates to take advantage of new tech like the SSD.There is really not that big difference beetween PS4 and PS5 you are really overhyping „next gen only” games. Look at Forza it is next gen only and it fails in nearly all aspects…
New game engines are made to be scalable. PD really didn’t cut anything just to make GT7 run on PS4.
Sales data indicates it was a mistake to continue with cross-gen beyond PS5's launch window. Particularly a title like GT7 with it's long sales legs. I expect GT8 will be PS5 only as I don't see a scenario where we don't get an all new Gran Turismo for 6 years. As for GT9, sure, that could be cross-gen PS5/PS6 if it arrives '28-'30!. But I don't see that being a major issue as the switch to SSD and RT was already made this gen.Obvious reasons being GT7 was being developed since 2018 on the base PS4 and the fact that the PS5 had barely sold 20 million units compared to the PS4 with 115 million units?

What do you mean?Why are some cars, like the 8C and LFA, manual in GT7? The animations clearly show paddle shifting, and they are (at least the LFA is) semi in reality.
I hesitated to ask this in case Polyphony fix it![]()
First of all PS5 sold over 50mil now and second i would like to have your crystal ball mate 🤣Obvious reasons being GT7 was being developed since 2018 on the base PS4 and the fact that the PS5 had barely sold 20 million units compared to the PS4 with 115 million units?

well it wasnt just a marketing trick , most games started as PS4 games since there was no PS5 dev kit yet but they got adapted into PS5 laterIt was justa marketing trick.
GT7 was advertised as a PS5 exclusive but looking at it, it's 100% obvious that it was developed for the PS4 from the beginnig and later also for the PS5.
Maybe at some point they considered releasing it only on the PS5 but overall from the beginning it was mainly a PS4 game.
Just out of interest, why is that car so special to you (and many others)?Hopefully silhouttes next weekend i going to keep predict the Ferrari 812 superfast until pd adds it, its 1 of 3 cars i wanted the most in the datamine, and we got challanger demon and alfa Romeo gulia gta,m already

Honestly, I'd go the other way - break up every group other than Gr.3, and make Gr.3 only the "latest" model (so AMG would only have the '20 in it for instance), which is the group Manufacturers Cup would run. Then instead of using groups, expand the tag system that they currently only really use for the Kei car and VGT events, with things like #Group C or #LMP1 or #GT3.Now that I think about it, I do wonder if an additional group is truly necessary at this point, as opposed to potentially refining the PP system.
If GT7 was developed on the PS4 then I would like to think it would work well on the PS4. My PS4 copy freezes and crashes constantly. Never had a single issue on my PS5.It was justa marketing trick.

Your PS4 (or GT7 disc) might have an issue in that case. I don’t recall GT7 ever crashing on my PS4, and I play it often (I don’t even have a PS5)If GT7 was developed on the PS4 then I would like to think it would work well on the PS4. My PS4 copy freezes and crashes constantly. Never had a single issue on my PS5.
I’ve been playing GT7 on my PS4 Pro several hundred hours or so (yikes) and haven’t experienced a single crash or freeze. So yeah, probably something wrong with the disc or the console if the game is crashing constantly.My PS4 copy freezes and crashes constantly.
More or less the same here. Two crashes in almost two years, and I play GT7 nearly every day.I’ve been playing GT7 on my PS4 Pro several hundred hours or so (yikes) and haven’t experienced a single crash or freeze. So yeah, probably something wrong with the disc or the console.
Get it, if you ask me. It's 50 races, doesn't require any speed or skill on your part, like GT Sport did. This one is a participation trophy and the platinum is pretty easy.Randomly popped the trophy for covering 500 miles on oval tracks yesterday.
This means I'm two away from the platinum...take 100 photos and complete 50 Sport Mode events.
I stopped paying for PS Plus because I wasn't racing online and wasn't finding value in the service, it's silly to rejoin just for a Platinum trophy right?
It doesn't get you any tangible benefits, or will hold any kudos for future GT titles. I've got typically taken a stance that poor trophy list design shouldn't be supported, and while I think 50 is a high number to hit, I think they are more problematic trophies on the list which don't respect your time...
So...I should just leave it right?
All I really care about for GT8 is I want more tracks than I can poke a stick at.

Because later development was shifted more toward the PS5 so it's the more polished version.If GT7 was developed on the PS4 then I would like to think it would work well on the PS4. My PS4 copy freezes and crashes constantly. Never had a single issue on my PS5.
Or wait for the three or four free play weekends each year.Randomly popped the trophy for covering 500 miles on oval tracks yesterday.

The PS5 version is not more polished. It has some graphical and performance-related advantages, but it is not more polished than the PS4 version.Because later development was shifted more toward the PS5 so it's the more polished version.
