theoretically ain't most GT World Series drivers also testers?

They sort of were, during GT7's development. Gave PD some feedback on the car physics, IIRC.

I'd rather the next Gran Turismo game not be restricted.

Now I understand there's a massive leap in tech between the PS4 and PS5, but PD would be better off maximizing the potential on GT8. Single player races with higher grid sizes, the ability to choose which class you want to race on if Multi-Class is part of the campaign, things like that.

Yeah honestly the current generation game should be just given updates with the next generation console focusing on the newer GT.

Idk, it would have been better to have gt8 available for all the ps5 models. Is the PRO better than the standard ps5? What are the pros and cons?

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes overall the pro ps5 is better then the base ps5 you get better framerate and with PSSR2 coming in a few weeks games will run and look even better.

Con its super expensive $749 expensive.

Overall I love my pro ps5 its my favorite system I owned over ps4/ps5 Base model.
 
It's a shame PS5 Pro doesn't support ultrawidescreens, that would be a worthwhile upgrade from the PS5.
 
Really confused on these console releases.

Outside of enhanced graphics, is the ps6 supposed to provide anything that the ps5/ps5 pro cant?

I hope Sony goes all in with VR technology but I dont think that will be the case

It all feels like diminishing returns graphically (ultrawidescreen support notwithstanding!).

I imagine the biggest gains will be in AI, better penalties, and physics as far as GT8 is concerned.

I dont think a new gt on ps5 would be pointless, it would be something new and fresh, and it does way more than what a couble new cars and tracks can bring in gt7.

Maybe pd would be able to finally do proper career mode with sophy closer to getting in good place, sounds could maybe take an even futher step, i think mainly also the cars that have the pitch glitch could maybe be resolved.

New fresh tuning and customize options etc this is just a few things that comes into mind, no update for gt7 is going to provide that in my opinion.

Except custom career mode, or custom{ized} championships. Or just one massive custom championship at any time?
Or a remake of the GT Cafe with all races with AI Sophy.
 
A somewhat-reliable leaker says the PS6 (and Xbox Helix) are still on track for a release late next year. Feels a bit early to me (especially with the ongoing memory price hikes) and as a Pro owner I probably won't upgrade for a while. Still have a massive backlog of PS4 and PS5 games. If those launch dates are true I'm kind of hoping GT8 isn't due for at least a few more years. Can't deal with another crossgen situation and all the moaning again.

Agreed - the crossgen fallout will be irritating. The longer GT8 is away from the release the better it will be in my eyes

I'm not sure it'll matter too much - I'm personally expecting absolutely everything to be cross gen next generation, where devs build for the PS5 (or, for third party devs, probably the Switch 2 is the actual baseline) and then the PS6 version just scales up the graphics to be shinier.

All the rumoured upgrades seem focused on the AI/ML side for graphics, rather than anything power-wise that meaningfully would mean your game would be hobbled on the PS5. And the PS5 is much, much more competitive power-wise than the PS4 was at the same point in its lifecycle.

I would like bigger grids using Sophy AI (and also weather on all tracks but let's not get greedy). That may be possible on the PS5 Pro, using PSSR upscaling to run lower internal resolutions and free up performance for elsewhere, but not sure it can be done on the base model so a crossgen GT8 still would be held back for me.

Shinier graphics, ray/path tracing, blah blah, just doesn't appeal to me. I already use sub-4k settings with that stuff disabled to get the higher frame rates in pretty much every game.

Thanks for the feedback mate, I'll write your info down on a notepad.

Ps6 will be just ps5 pro pro, if they can they will even put out games for the PS4, games are too expensive to make

I hope the situation with the PS6 being delayed will mean GT8 will be released earlier on PS5, a bit like what happened with GT6 on PS3. If GT8 hits all the marks than it could be a cracker of a game without the need to upgrade to the new PS6. Personally, I'm optimistic :D
 
There has been no official information on PS6 being delayed. That Bloomberg person is well-known for releasing fake news for clicks. I also hope they just release a next-gen GT game on PS5 as soon as possible that takes advantage of the hardware and then they can take their time for native PS6 support as it should have backwards compatible support with PS6 devices anyway.

I think PS6 would only be delayed if Sony fail to secure supply for memory and other components in time for 2027 release which would be a big blunder given how competitive the system would be in the market the earlier it releases. They have golden opportunity to take over market share from Nintendo in the handheld space, be super competitive versus PC gaming and Xbox in terms of pricing and technology offered.

I think the impact rising memory prices might have on the system and Gran Turismo is it might force Sony to go for lower RAM and storage for their two base consoles so might curtail peak ambition in terms of visuals. I don't see it as a bad thing as long as it is made more affordable for the masses and keeps it closely aligned with the PS5 generation hardware making it an even easier time for developers. Maybe they would have gone 30GB ram and 1TB SSD for PS6 and now they might go 20GB RAM and 825GB SSD instead which is still an increase in RAM over current generation. Handheld might go from say 24GB RAM to maybe 18GB or even 16GB RAM.

To be honest with the way the market is looking I would put a (marginal) PS6 delay in the "highly likely" category. 2028 seems more likely

I just want gt8 about this point dosent feel like gt7 can bring much more to the table.

I suppose so since gt7 is almost at it's 5 year mark, I'm sure PD will do what they can to supply us with more cars, tracks, engine swaps and special events. But time will tell. Who knows, maybe something new will be released near the end of 2026. (like a new set of missions)

Also no indications or signs of GT8 in active development as we speak.

I've said this again that I think we'll get at least one more year of regular updates, then by 2028, that's when things start to slow down before any eventual signs of GT8 coming.
 
Smartphone solution to the AI bubble: bring back micro SD card slots. I never update both my phone and its storage at the same time. The main storage is always a big micro SD card, in this case, a 1TB SanDisk Extreme Pro. That's as much or more storage than I see in entire flagship phones.
Another solution, more or less an opinion, is Microsoft needs to bow out of the hardware business. I've had four devices that were built to run Xbox games and three of them were trash--they quit working in just a few days. My 360S is the only working Microsoft hardware I own.
Let the big boys handle it.

I worry about ports on phones as it makes it a weak spot for water.

Ideally I’d like a phone with zero ports as I don’t actually use them.

Microsoft mind you - 90% of everything they make is utter trash. Excel is the only decent bit of software.

I mean, at this point, what can the franchise do that won't alienate the casual gamer.

Like I don't expect them to ever to a Project CARS style career mode, as cool as that would be.

I don’t really want career mode as project cars because i want career with progression in style of maybe gt league but that won’t happen in gt7
 
hi what playstation 5 and 6

🚨Polyphony Digital is still looking for more staff for the development of #GT8 .

📞A few days ago we reported that they had 15 vacancies listed on their official website, but today, the search has expanded to a total of 18 vacancies.

New job listings do not guarantee that the next game is in active development or production.
