GT on vita

[Spagetti69]

Looks like focus will be put on the Vita version of GT now. I would not blame PD, its likely Sony pushing.

Yes I would have to agree there. I do feel a bit for Kaz but Sony provide the funds and he has to do what Sony asks of him.

Sony/PD know the kids go mad for GT. The next iteration of GT to be provided by a machine that Sony needs to sell has a good buisiness case.

Interestingly I read an article about vita. Sony know (don't know how) that most adopters are PS3 based. They are quite content for this to be the case so it's makes sense if GT sells well then Vita's should follow suit.
Not sure if it was the same for PSP or not. Did GT sell lots of PSP's? Time will tell.

Seems as if Sony are in competition with themselves?

On an aside consequence of this. Those not wanting or able to get the rival brand may just say sod it and jump ship. It would be cheaper to get Xbox and F£&@"/. Than a handheld and GT Vita.

Yep agree. We know Sony have done awfully (financially) recently in pretty much all of their departments. They will naturally push for sales and will see with blinkers. GT on Vita will push sales of Vita, and present Sony with another few million actual game sales. I think KY is in an awkward position and has been for sometime, as I believe Sony have be pooing on KY's party ever since Sony got involved. I would guess that PD and KY in many ways regret Sony's involvement and I think we can blame Sony for the rushed GT5 and lame PSP version of GT.

 

[Griffith500]

If so, what about renaming the forum in Jumpship-planet.net

Knowing KY and his visions, they can release GT vita at any time.. but they want make it perfect first.

I hope GT vita is just a port of GT5, or we are in a huge Titanic.

You're only reading what you want to read, or maybe you're just a drama queen?
I meant, what if GT6 and GT Vita are the same game, released simultaneously for both platforms?

"Jump ship" is being abused in this context, too. Nobody here has a pre-agreed responsibility to PD, and choosing another game isn't likely to result in court-martial...

 

[PAPPACLART]

Its a good point, though I would suspect a GT5 port for some quick sales and revenue, followed by a tandem release of GT6 on PS3 and VITA in the future.

 

[HKS racer]

what if GT6 and GT Vita are the same game, released simultaneously for both platforms?

I higly doubt it, and not even sure it's a good thing. What if GT6 physics will be nerfed because GT Vita don't need physics at all, so they can release the same game in booth platform reducing cost productions? Let's not forget how PD screwed FFB after 2.04, they don't seems to be concerned at all.

Well, we are talking about the decadence of one of the biggest Sony's brands, not exactly something to celebrate.

 

[R3D D3V!L]

I actually think it would be better if PD doesn't develop GT Vita. Instead, I'd get Studio Liverpool and Evolution Studios to do it, since both has experience with the Vita and have made racing games with licensed cars and tracks before (F1 and WRC respectively), with PD giving them GT5 assets and things. This would allow PD to focus on GT6.

I'm not the slightest bit interested in Vita, but I don't really care that PD might make a game for it. If GT6 suffers for it, so be it - I'd rather it wouldn't, but it's not a big deal. We don't know that it will, though, so maybe we should wait and see exactly what this is all referring to before we all "desert" our "posts"...
Incidentally, the FFB feels like it was improved to me, so I guess you just can't please everyone - which is no reason not to make a Vita game.

I really don't know what going AWOL has to do with GT's "decadence", though.

 

[trk29]

I really hope not. I can't see anything good that could come out of another GTPSP-style disaster, because the Vita is barely any more suited towards such a game than the PSP was.


And if it absolutely has to happen, at the very least I hope that Sony forces someone else to make it rather than letting PD do so.

Maybe this was the reason to hire more people at a different location. So more people for a different title and same amount of people for the rest of GT5 and GT6 development.

This is never going to happen, PD will not farm out anything on their game. PD are not westerners and they don't think like us.

 

[Spagetti69]

I don't think it's a western thing tbh.
Nintendo have let retro studios do stuff for them, rare too I think(donkey king country returns).

Ninty have even said they wouldn't rule out Retro doing a zelda. So I don't think it's a culture thing. I would be dissapointed if that was the case.

However. If another studio was allowed free reign to do a GT series and they pulled off a better Job than PD, well that would be interesting.

 

[Tornado]

Which is why (among other reasons) that if a Vita game is coming Sony needs to put their foot down and force PD to let someone else make it like they did for all of their other handheld versions of their franchises.

 

[300SRT8Fan]

Let part of the team work on this, and the rest work on the GT6. However, you do have to rememer that it is not confirmed if they even are working on GT6. They did just say they were working on something. That could have been GTA, or this. GT6 development might be waiting for the realese of the PS4.

 

[Tornado]

That's what they did for GTPSP. It ended up heavily taking away from GT5 development (Kaz at once point said that all of the GT5 programmers had to be diverted to work on GTPSP) and severely compromising GTPSP (if not both games).

Yes it was. They've been working on GT6 for nearly two years now.

I'm not saying it will happen, I'm saying that it should. It's the best for all parties. Sony gets their biggest franchise on the console that needs it, the developers of the game get to do something different from what they've done previously and PD get to focus on their next game without distraction. Sony need to become more forceful towards PD. They can't allow another 4 years between a console launch and a GT game coming out for it.

 

[Spagetti69]

I don't expect much official info regarding GT6 whilst Vita is in production.
Don't forget they want the Vita install base to grow. Best to let the GT community focus only on Vita for the moment. Announcing a GT6 with a relative soonish (a word I use loosely) date would hamper Vita sales.

I expect a random tweet from Kaz alongside the lines off don't worry GT6 is coming (I genuinely think he cares about the community) but officially, no.

Sony competing against Sony. Sad fact is. The suits don't care about quality only figures. And figures show slap a GT logo on it and it rains money.

Edit Toranado. I know it's been announced before but expect less news about GT6 console.

Man did I just say less? Ha ha. Can't get any less than now. Lol.

 

[PAPPACLART]

Exactly, its a shame, quality always suffers when sales are the primary foucus, but why wouldn't they be, after all Sony is a business looking to make money, and GT5 fans would likely still buy GT5 if all cars were Standards.

Besides, an unfinished game allows for more DLC and a better "next version". Funny thing is though looks like PD/Sony do not even have the time to capitalize on the DLC with Sony directing them in all directions instead of allowing PD to finish what they started lol

 

[cuco33]

I'll be honest here... I got my PSP1000 very close to launch mostly for GT PSP (and few other games but GT PSP was the main game reason). Thank god for FIFA on the go as I was seriously disappointed. GT PSP just needed a career of some sort and I'd be playing it still.

I still want to get a VITA and would like a GT VITA game but so long as there's more cars on track, at least 8 including yours, at minimum, and of course an actual career. This time I'll hold off, if a GT VITA game does in fact come out. Oh and add the modification/tuning stuff a lot more and better than what we see in GT PSP as well as having a full car dealership. I can not stand the way GT PSP does it now

What do you think of the cross-play option for the vita/Ps3? Do you believe they'll add that? If they did, would you use it?

Are you talking about playing online PS3 vs Vita? Or am I missing something?

 

[McClarenDesign]

I don't think hand-held racing would work for me. I didn't play it on the PSP, but I would like to try it.

When I race, I like to be relaxed and comfortable, and I'm not so sure the Vita would aid in that. Everything seems too small. I also don't play games constantly, so a hand-held system that I hardly would use doesn't make sense to me.

 

[USARMYCOMBATVET]

The vita has cross-play on select games. I was talking about the ability to play a game on the vita while away from the PS3. Yes, I think this link also speaks about what you're thinking (online PS3 vs vita)...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAfs6BRPccM

 

[Spagetti69]

Ah I see.

If GT offline mode offered decent races then maybe some would bite.

I think it's widely regarded that online is the action in GT. don't see the appeal to race the bots. Why anyone would want to take that misery on the go baffles me.

I imagine that GT vita will be more of a "on the go" type of affair. I expect online Vita vs Vita though.

 

[SuperVeloce]

I hope they don't go down this route again. They should purely focus on the console game because this is what needs attention. A new portable GT simply isn't necessary, GTPSP was alright, but it wasn't exactly mind blowing.

Maybe they'll release GT Vita at the same time as GT6? GT Vita would be like a toned down, portable version of GT6 maybe... ah, who knows.

I don't know why anyone would continue to play this game if they view it as "misery." I've heard horror stories of the rich and spoiled, priveleged and squandered, etc, but, comma, I'm not here to debate the finer points of the game. ...just a question. Pickin' the brain so to speak.

 

[thelvynau]

Would it be a factor that alot of people have a ps3 and simply don't wish to shell out for a vita?

Where I live handhelds are mainly being snapped up by 12 year olds the vita and gt vita wouldn't work for older players.

I'm basing this off where I live of course.

 

[harrison1476]

This is a little off topic, but my idea on what they Should do...

They briefly mentioned that NFS Most wanted will be on the vita in a interview I watched. what about this?

Gran Turismo 6 >Vita and PS3. 2 systems, I mean thats what most games should be doing.

A little more off topic, in my opinion games like Call Of Duty, should be a cross play like GT6 for the vita. Making a WHOLE 'nother game for vita (CoD: Black Ops Declassified) Is gonna be terrible.

Please take time to realize that my comment was a little off topic, but please don't hate its a good idea.

 

[Spagetti69]

At the risk of going off topic I would like to reply to this.

I disagree. Purely on the perspective that until you can actually play online on the go (3G isn't up to it yet) why have the same game at home.

Vita players will be using WI-Fi at home, so the choice of 50" HD tv over 5" screen is a no brainer.

Add a seperate vita exclusive COD and it's a different ball game. After all Vitas twin sticks are made for these types of games. It should do well.

Sorry everyone for OT.

umm, when you share a PS3 with people. and the Vita is epic. So much hate on this system. 50"HD TV with a wheel, I know... But how come people don't like vita, imo it would be just as fun. and I have 42" 1080P HD with DFGT. so yeah.. I know what you mean.

I must disagree but only with your point about the choice of 60" HD TV over
5" vita screen. My wife loves to watch TV [she uses the living room DVR] and we have the large tv hooked-up to the PS3 and XBOX360. Ipso facto--I'd enjoy being able to race against the AI or even online when it becomes possible. (I know, you're going to hate this because you can't understand and or empathize due to the the "misery" of the AI driving)

 

[DaveS1138]

Personally I would love to have GT on the Visa. I am still having a hell of a lot of fun with GTSP on my Vita (since I had to start again thanks to the saved game not copying over )

I thought it was a great game for a handheld. There is nothing like being able to get a few laps of the Nurburgring in whilst your out and about travelling around.

 

[Rob-F1-Fan]

Vita is good but its not even PS3 level in terms of power, so i dont really want GT on Vita unless it has amazing new features and fun stuff.
