You think GT8 would be PS6 exclusive? Not impossible but more and more unlikely every day.

Like I said earlier, if GT8 comes out on PS5 as well and it's actually a great improvement than we should count ourselves winners, shouldn't we? It's enough to keep me excited at least, although I'm happy if they keep rolling out the updates for GT7 a while longer of course
 
If GT8 will come also for PS5(what I expect)
then it will be come on a 7-8 Year old System/Tech... I Don't know if it's good or Bad!

I'm personally not even buying a PS6, after what has happened with the brand...so GT7 will probably be my last modern Gran Turismo.

Yeah. I wpuld also prefer GT8 to be mainly PS5 game and then eventually updated to ps6.

I am not planning buying PS6 right now.

Both. Over time developers (should) learn over time how to extract the most of the platform (ps5 software & hardware).
In ps2 days there was a "day and night" difference between the game franchises (eg Tekken) :D

If expectations are met, the PS6 will launch as both a home console and a handheld system. Although both will utilize advanced technologies, the handheld unit will have limited computing power due to space and power constraints. In fact, Sony has included a "low-power" mode in the PS5, partly to comply with European efficiency regulations, but also because this mode appears to represent the maximum power envelope the PS6 handheld will be able to use; consequently, it serves as a preview of how PS5 games will look when running on the handheld.

Furthermore, the system will feature technologies for upscaling, frame interpolation, and ray-tracing reconstruction that could yield superior graphics compared to the PS5. However, regarding the underlying game engine, performance is unlikely to deviate significantly from the PS5's peak capabilities, as doing so would make it incompatible with the limitations of the PS6 handheld.

The handheld PS6 appears poised to be the entry-level model. Given current market conditions (characterized by sharp cost increases and electronic component shortages) it will likely be the best-selling version; furthermore, it could prove essential to making the new generation economically viable.

It appears that you may be right if the potential PS6 handheld is somewhat like the Nintendo Switch (1 and 2), especially when portability are its strongest selling points. While that sacrifices some power, graphics and fidelity, it will nonetheless be attractive to buyers as it would spark a new PlayStation handheld renaissance not seen since the PSP/Vita, and they can take their PlayStation on the go.

It is also rumored to be dockable, and when it is docked, it's expected to have much better graphics and performance, but likely not on the same level as the traditional console.
 
I do not want GT8 on PS5. I’d rather them:

1- dump a bunch of tracks into GT7
2- round out the car groups better (such as can am and group 5 and muscle cars)
3- include bots in multiplayer lobbies to round out the room when race participants are lean
4- allow car gifting
5- auto update cars performance points after updates that cause changes
6- let us gift cars

As for the PS6. PS3 to PS4 was alright. PS4 to PS5 was mostly load times and more subtle graphical improvements. Unless the PS6 is going to be some insane improvement like how PS2 to PS3 was, I have no desire to buy upgrade. By the sounds of it the price is going to be crazy high too.

When they went from GT5 to GT6. It just felt like I just completed my chore list, crossed everything off, and now I have to redo it all again. I ended up moving to another racing game because of that.

I think people wanting GT8 isn’t to get GT8 but hoping GT8 will be where GT7 has fallen short. Which can be fixed without building an entirely new game.

While it may be frustrating having to start again, to an extant GT7 does need an overhaul of the main career mode via a new title otherwise GT7 will get even messier than it is now. GT8 should come out on PS5 in my opinion.

Like you though, I'm happy to wait and see how far they go with new features and updates. But I doubt we'll get most of what you have suggested without a new title, 'cause that's how things tend to go unfortunately, and that goes for all games 😢
 
So they've released GT7 on PS4 due to challenging external factors, what makes you think that this time will be any different? Also, just look at how long it took for other titles to go PS5-only, so unless you want to get GT8 in 2031, I'd say a cross-gen release is inevitable.
I personally don't think the PS5 will be holding up the PS6 nearly as much as the PS4 did, but that's just me guessing.
 
And the PS4 CPU was in comparison to the PS5 CPU a much bigger brak check than the PS5 CPU could ever be against a possible PS6.

They could make a very good add on career you can purchase and continue to update with cars and tracks. I’m not talking about power pack, I didn’t buy it because it just looked like a bunch of challenges to me. I’m talking about something immersive, climb up the ladder, something with progression not this cafe random races stuff, complete and now onto another random thing.

That is how things go. I remember going from GT5 to GT6, expecting things to be different, it just wasn’t. It was pretty much the same old. Same with GT7, I thoroughly enjoyed the game but it is the same game it’s always been, the good and the bad. In my opinion it’s time for a revamp on the title. It feels a little bit like iPhone’s. Same phone, a few new features, some good and some bad, some old features that were good… dropped for no reason.

It is just guessing. Either the PS6 is going to be a monster of a console or it’ll be a minor upgrade. I know people say the PS4 to PS5 was a big difference but I didn’t really notice much for the longest time, mostly boot times. They’re both 4K with pretty good graphics. I mostly noticed draw distance in say Call of Duty DMZ as far as graphics went.

For many of us who loved GT3&GT4 it was very true in the beginning after GT7 launch that the main perception was "GT7 has failed to be Gran Turismo!". But after the power pack and AI Sophy it's mostly 'fixed' but still some more of the same improvements that we got the last year must continue & progress even further.
I also think & predict that because of the event part of the game design & that PD is rigid, there's higher probability that GT8 will have a better single player career mode progression & many of the one make events will be more fun, than GT7 right now. While PS4 held back GT7 at least slightly, PS5 won't hold back GT7 if PS6 won't be super expensive.
It's not frustrating to start again, that's the fun of it, but definitively not the GT Cafe...!!!
 
If GT8 is PS6 only I guess I won't be getting it. I will stick GT and the rest of the racing games I have

I’m more than fine with GT8 being delayed because of ps6, I spent a ton of money on a ps5, fanatec, lg c1 so absolute fine for me it takes a good few more years and then some!

To add to your wish list, the ability to sell engine swap engines! Got an absolute fortune sat in those
 
You know what I hope they do for GT8 whenever it comes out? That they have their 💩 together on the physics and quit tweaking it causing performance point changes and messing up tunes etc. Let us be the guinea pigs in GT7 like we have been all this time and then release GT8 in a perfect state and don’t touch it. If they don’t think they can do that until the PS6 comes out then wait it out. Who cares about 30th anniversary, quit throwing things out there. How many physics change updates have we had? I’d prefer zero for GT8.
