Gran Turismo...on PC?

ViperXtreme · April 15th, 2008

IGN: Gran Turismo Racing to PC?

hmmm....

download links or get out ;P
More seriously: no way Sony would make GT for PC. Hyping their consoles to bup up hardware sales sounds much more like them.

Yamauchi believes releasing Gran Turismo on the PC will help promote and distribute the game in the Chinese market, a market he seems eager to capture.

?????
This argument seems like coming from Bizarro world. At least, we could blame the translation...

It would be great to play GT on pc.

Phil · April 15th, 2008

I doubt it would happen. GT is a huge cash generator for Sony....they wouldn't give that up easily

Noja87 · April 15th, 2008

Gran Turismo on Windows? Dont think its gonna happen.

Cheesus · April 15th, 2008

I wish...

But I highly doubt it...

Metalmurphy · April 15th, 2008

Right... just like GT3 amirite?

Nah, ain't gonna happen.

Thanakil · April 15th, 2008

If they released it like 6months/1year after the PS3, I could see that happen. Multi-platforming is becoming hella popular to cash more money from the same game.

It would feel quite strange tho, but I could see them wanting to make more profits from such a big game.

Phil · April 15th, 2008

Sony owns Polyphony digital. they would be cutting there own throats......on the flip side, they would still profit

SCHUMI-4-EVA · April 15th, 2008

Unfortunately I only see this happening in racing-game lovers dreams....

Cid Highwind · April 15th, 2008

Not until we see a working PS3 emulator.

Exodus · April 15th, 2008

How does one capture the Chinese game market? Is it even a market where they spend money?

Free games with subscription fees. Pretty much the only way.

runawayprisoner · April 15th, 2008

You have more computers in China... than men, women, children, old people, animals, etc... pretty much more so than anything else! They don't have that many PS2s and PS3s in China... but they have so many friggin' computers... (if you have to ask why, open up your computer and look for that "Made in China" or "Assy in China" or "Made in..." Taiwan or something)

But I wonder how the game will look like if this DOES happen.

And I really wish they'd at least keep the eyecandies from GT5-P...

Which reminds me... GT5-P coming TODAY????? I'm headin' to GameStop!

Edit: Aww... those m.... *censored* God! They said the 17!

To be honest with you runawayprisoner, GT5-P isn't that eyecandy as everybody claim so. I mean, it sure looks nice and everything, the cocpit view is awesome, but there are several things that spoil the fun for me. This is a flagship title for PS3 and it really should give M$ something to think about, but instead we have trees made of two bitmaps (wtf?), mirror views are quite poor, etc. And above all, even though it's not related to the graphics, but... POLYPHONY, DO SOMETHING WITH THE AI FFS!!! It seems to me they've been using the same AI script ever since the very first GT on PSOne. I'd rather have GT4 looking GT5 with decent AI than this crap. Forza is way ahead here.

I know... better than all of the crap we have gotten so far, though. I mean... aside from Test Drive Unlimited... what other racing games do we have that look so good?

Well, I'm getting the retail version to see if those are fixed. I did notice them during the demo.

Well, since we have online races now, I guess I can tolerate that a bit.

galson · April 15th, 2008

Hmm, I played GT5-P EU which my friend had downloaded from PSN for £25 or sth. That was the retail version, wasn't it? And no, none of the things seemed to have been fixed afaik. Yes, we can tolerate it now, but only a tiny bit

runawayprisoner · April 15th, 2008

Aww... you just had to say that AFTER I've pre-ordered the game, didn't you?

But oh well, I'm willing to pay for it. It's the Blu-Ray version that I'll be getting... so yes~ for that!

What? If you played it I can't believe you're saying that.

Physics are VASTLY improved, better then Forza 2, yes I said it. Just cause Forza 2 gives you all that output with physics info doesn't mean it's better, GT5P represents the cars physics way more realistically, and it does it for all it's cars while correctly representing the differences between each one.

AI is also vastly improved, they do risky moves, they do mistakes, spin out on their own, evade you, etc..., not to mention your actually racing against 15 other AI drivers instead of just 8.

Mirror view has been fixed as well, and who cares if the trees are 2 textures (Forza 2 had them as well btw) if you don't actually see it? The way the trees are positioned you just see a good looking tree.

It does have it's flaws yes, framedrops on the replays, the occasional tearing and jaggies, mostly on the shadows, but calling GT5P crap is just pure fanboy talk, honestly...

@ runawayprisoner, get the BR version for the Behind the Scenes video, and you won't regret it.

Exodus · April 15th, 2008

Is there 2-player against AI yet? I haven't been in the GT loop for a while.
