GT8 will probably be cross-gen (or, more likely, a PS5 game that gets a "Director's Cut" style late release on PS6), yes.
PS5/PS6 cross-gen will be significantly less painful than PS4/PS5 though. The PS4 (and X1) were weak hardware even in 2013, it's no wonder 2020s ports struggle on them. The PS5, while it's not exactly a high-end PC or anything, is significantly closer to the bleeding edge than its predecessor was. PS6 GT8 is probably just going to be a shinier version rather than having features only it can run.
Edit: Also, game scalability as a skill has massively improved because of how big the low-end PC market is - devs need to be able to scale games down so that kids who see streamers playing their game can buy and play it (a massive source of revenue these days). Whether that applies to PD, one of the last great PC holdouts, is questionable though.

I absolutly agree this is the case. But the guy i responded to claim that none of the car sounds changed it sound with perfomence parts, witch is clearly not the case. Their is some that changes more than others. And some other barely changes outside of exhausts. I hope thats something they resolve for gt8. It was so cool to at least see gt7 take this step for the first time in franshise.

You severely misunderstood my post. There is a well known issue in the game where SOME cars audible rev limit does not change with the addition of parts that raise the rev limit. Such as high lift camshafts and ECU's (among other parts).
As I said before, most Hondas suffer from this, as well as a lot of the Aston's, a bunch of BMW's, and MANY more. It's not my opinion. It's a well known problem.
"But the guy i responded to claim that none of the car sounds changed it sound with perfomence parts, witch is clearly not the case."
Nope. It's like you read the first line and then gave up. That was never said.

I think we won’t see GT8 before ps6. Ps6 is rumored to be 2027-2028 release. Even if PD is going all in making GT8 there is literally no sense to release it only on ps5 and then making some kind of definitive edition. More likely PD and Sony could be keeping gt8 as ps6 launch title (with ps5 release)

I know the game suffer from this in some cases. I have noticed it myself. Maybe its 50/50 split hard to answer. Most aston suffer from it, not db11 through. It sounds completly different after the engine balancing upgrade witch increase the rev limit to, Most BMW i found only the exhausts have a big impact on the sound.
I would like to see pd resolve at least some of this for gt8. They took a huge leap forward already with gt7 campared to past titles.
They have really never even tried to do those things before. Its the deepest sound changes we have had at least with perfomence parts.
Would make sense to go a bit deeper with gt8 but i guess we see.
Its proably not easy to do it with that many cars.
I am also intrested if ac evo will do something simular when they add upgrade parts to the cars witch proably wont happen until 1.0 release, but i am still intrested to find out.
However is their a list of cars that have those sound changes with highlift camshaft e.x.
But a bit weird that the issue with this has not been talked about more, you really dont find much about it in general.

Instead of [or in addition to] letting us change every rule/restriction for all races after we finished the last menu book, Kaz should absolutely let us make our own custom championships!!! Perhaps with one limitation, the same algorithm that sets the payout in custom races should be applied also in custom championships. But please let us have at least one of the features.

GT8 will be a cross gen title that releases exclusively PS5 that will be boosted by PS6. The install base of the PS5 is too big for PD nor Sony to ignore.
Especially in a world where we've now broken the threshold of console prices getting more expensive.
For some reason, people think that if the tariffs go away, prices will come down. I can see corporate greed getting in the way of any of that.
As the economy gets worse and worse, fewer people are going to be able to afford a PS6. So in order to shift games, Sony will encourage cross gen games for as long as possible.
I appreciate the argument could be made that that didn't apply to Nintendo with the Switch 2. How people went from clutching their pearls at the price but then clutching their credit cards even faster. But you need to factor in the Nintendo exclusives and the nostalgia at play here.
Because there's no such thing as generational leaps in power any more, it's all scaling up in PC hardware terms, a PS6 will be a PS5 Pro+ (if that makes sense)

There has not been a new track for almost a year. If there is one coming it will proably be the last for gt7. Rest will be reserved for gt8.
I dont think we can expect many big updates for the remaining gt7 lifecircle Just small updates here and there. Cars they are adding is not even that groundbreaking for the most part. This month at least got more intresting cars than the last few months.
More up to date race cars and supercars will most likely not arrive in gt7, its much more likely they get added with gt8 instead.

I think they have no reason to delay the release of up to date cars if they are already done. Maybe they need more cash for licensing. I wouldn't mind paying a dlc pack if they will bring more up to date cars.

You are having a laugh. This!? Really!? In my opinion it doesn't even make it onto the list of "good" looking Ferraris, let alone the best. It is better than the F12. I won't deny that, but.... that's hardly an achievement. To each their own of course. All art is subjective by nature. I just can't get my head around calling this THING the most beautiful front engine Ferrari ever made when there are a ton of examples (i.e different Ferrari models) that your brain seems to be woefully unaware of.

That's not fair, everyone likes different cars. I think the Veyron is fantastic looking but a lot of people would disagree with me, but like you say it's all subjective. No need to rag on someone for their taste in cars.

Relax. I'm not ragging on anyone. He made a BOLD, some would say controversial statement. Harmless, of course. Yet quite controversial when considering the vast lineup of models to choose from, and the notoriously opinionated Ferrari fan base. He voiced his opinion. I voiced mine. It was light hearted ribbing, not an attack. If any offence was taken I do apologize, but I hardly think that's necessary...lol

Kaz said last year that he wants to keep GT7 alive for longer than previous GT games.

Maybe, but we are still getting regular updates similar in scope as for last 3 years. If PD would stop updating the game it could mean somethibg but they are still doing it + no update from Kaz and this makes me feel that GT8 isn’t close.

I don´t expect GT8 until late 2027 because it will be 30th anniversary since GT1 on december 1997.
Again It will be a mistake crossgen ps5pro/ps6, again ps5 pro will not be as powerful as PS6 and we will have the same bottleneck we have now with PS4
GT8 should be exclusive for PS6

I think the PS6 won’t be as powerful as you think. It will be about ray tracing and will probably have little improvement over PS5

Better that way, I hope you are right.
, it will also depend on when PS6 is released
